It is finally spring here in NYC! So I’m in the process of putting away all my heavy leather bags and looking for something light and breezy for spring. My current bag obsession is also the simplest kind of bag…totes!
My current favorites above are pictured above. My tote was a gift from a recent NPR pledge. (Get your own WNYC tote ) I’m a huge NPR nerd so I love walking around with this tote and showing off my nerd pride. (I’m not !) This tote is super deep and wide so it is great to just throw anything into as you head out for a stroll around the city.
My is another favorite since I love Queens and I want the world to know. I picked this up from my local boutique his bag really works in black canvas since it really makes the purple print pop. I was using this for a gym bag for a while but it was too small to comfortably fit my sneakers.
The last favorite tote is the best kind…FREE! I got it when attending ana year or so ago, that was organized by some local shops including my favorite .
As a teenage in the 90′s Doc Martens were the height of cool for me for years. In high school I was super jealous of all the cool grunge girls who stomped around in the black oxford version, but I had to make do with a cheap plastic imitation pair from Payless. In college I finally splurged on a brown pair that I proudly wore to every single party for all my four and a half years of college.
Since the 90′s ended my brown pair have sat in the back on a number of different closets gathering dust, but I patiently was waiting until the Doc would make a comeback. And time is now! (Well I think it actually started a few years ago, but I am a little late with trends!)
Docs look totally updated for today when worn with tucked in skinny jeans, instead of the long flares I used to wear them with that basically covered up the whole shoe. Pairing with cropped jacket and/or a flowy girly top also helps to de-combat boot-ify them look so no one mistakes you for an extra on My So Called Life. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) |
