The Daily Handbag 👜

As a medical resident, I need my bag to be able to support me through the day. This means it needs to have space for all the goodies I may carry. (eg notebooks, laptop, stethoscope, water bottle etc). Let me share with you my two current favs!

The Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Large 3-in-1 Tote is a versatile, timeless accessory featuring a removable crossbody and wallet.
A while back, I bought this bag as a gift to my mom as she loves tote bags and it was a total hit!

It is a durable and sophisticated bag that will for sure elevate your look without you spending a fortune. For sure worth its price tag.

A great alternative for a daily, work bag would be the Voyager Large Saffiano Leather Tote Bag. In my opinion, a timeless, classic design that could be worn from day to night.

It provides lots of space with different compartments to keep everything where it belongs and avoid fishing for it when you need it. And let's be honest, who doesn't like an extra pocket or two?
