Hey everyone!  I am such a sucker for a great bag (duh!) especially when said bag serves multiple purposes.  A few weeks back I stumbled across a brand from Canada, Eight Stripes, that offers chic reusable bags in sizes for every need.  After scrolling through their IG account I realized I had to have some of these in my life!  Between Trader Joe’s runs, weekend getaways, pool days with Chris & G, and packing Sarge for a trip I am always looking for bags that are durable and more sophisticated than a $0.99 bag from the local market. Best part?  Every Eight Stripes bag is under $20 – win freakin’ win!

I really love this oversized clutch.  Typically I throw my sunblock, earbuds, keys, etc for an afternoon at the pool and it’s also the perfect piece to transition from poolside to drinks with friends.

Check back next week to see how I use the Essential Tote!

XO,

Niki
