Since I work for myself, my day to day is constantly changing depending on what’s happening with certain projects, clients or stories at the time. And, since I don’t go to a traditional office, on days that I am at home, getting caught up on emails, I prefer to try and get out of the apartment and head to my favorite coffee shop for a change of scenery. But that requires lugging my computer with me, which always ends up being put in a random tote bag or my purse, which can’t be good for my beloved MacBook Pro.

So, when Kipling asked me to give their tech-friendly tote a try, I jumped at the chance. I love that it has lots of pockets and compartments for all my necessities, which helps me stay organized, while keeping my laptop away from anything that could scratch or bang it up. I’ve found it’s a much better option than shoving it into my everyday purse, which is full of things like keys, sunglasses, a pair of heels and my SLR camera. Yes, I’d say this trusty little tote is a much better option for my everyday life. (I think I hear my laptop thanking me as I type… :)

The Kipling Diaries: skipping town

After living in New York for eight years and working for myself for the past four, I find that taking breaks from the city helps me feel more grounded and centered when things get a little too hectic. So, my remedy tends to be to head home to Seattle as much as I can, and because of my flexible schedule it allows me to see my family and friends more often than not, which is pretty great in my mind. :)

And speaking of flying home, I am headed to Washington on tomorrow for a quick reprieve and am bringing this handy Kipling cross-body with me. I love a trusty and wearable bag that can withstand the daily wear and tear I impose on it since I tend to be fairly hard on my bags – poor things. Plus when traveling, everyone needs a bag with easy-to-get-to compartments for necessary items, such as a place for their licence, debit card, phone and keys, that you can grab at a moments notice. Check out all the other great cross body bags that Kipling as has to offer, here!

The Kipling Diaries: Upstate New York

As a child growing up in the 90s, I remember Kipling bags as the brand of bag to have. Now, years later, I have the pleasure to work with the brand and integrate pieces of the collection into my style as an adult. For the next month, I will be styling up a different Kipling bag every week that work with all the different aspects of my life. Whether it’s heading out of the city for a weekend or traveling back to Seattle, I have found these bags to be convenient, versatile and very resilient against daily wear and tear.

For this look, I took this fall-appropriate, hunter green Pahniero bag with me upstate a few weeks ago to spend some much needed R&R with friends. I loved that I could stuff this tote full of everything I needed for a day of hanging out, taking long walks and soaking up the beautiful scenery upstate. I also loved that I could do whatever I wanted to this bag and it remained resilient to the mud and occasional rain we experienced. I just wiped it off and it was good as new!
