BAG LADY

I always read how awful it is for our backs and shoulders to be carrying around large, heavy bags all day. Normally I pay no attention to this school of thought, until recently when I opened my large L.A.M.B tote that I use everyday to lighten it up a bit and found the following:

- 2 magazines
- a hardcover book I'm reading
- a glass bottle of black tea
- a pair of wedges

Although I still stand by the fact that I never know when I'm going to need reading material or need to throw on heels or be thirsty, I do think carrying around a 10 lb bag is beginning to have some effect on my shoulder/back. I think a good compromise is having a week day bag (to carry my lunch, books, work material and going-out-after-work shoes) and a weekend bag (to simply carry Blackberry, lip gloss and wallet). Below are some large and small bag options I think would be perfect for Fall.
