When girls get super hyper about shoes and handbags, I can't say I relate all that much. As far as bags go, I prefer backpacks, satchels, and messenger bags. Something a girl at an English private school might wear and keep for years and years. Here are some of my favorites I wrote up for Babble (thanks to Lisa for the tip on the last one!).

These are my favourite kinds of bags too!

I'm a satchel and messenger bag girl too. I can never fit all of my things into a small handbag!

Sometimes I appreciate a smaller bag but if I'm carrying books or mags this is definitely the way to go :)

I am a backpacker too! I've been switching between two all summer {both faux leather, but killer cute} and it's made my NYC life a little easier and a whole lot cuter!

I have to agree! My favorite bags are the dark leather satchels, that only get better with time. I feel that the scuffs on my bags are beauty marks.

The first one in the link (dark grey + tan) is adorable!! I definitely relate. I use the same purse all the time because it's structured, and I can keep papers, planners, etc. in it without them tipping over or getting lost. Thanks for the great post!

This is such a great post! I really like your selection and I love the leather Satchel - it is just like one I had at school (I wish I had kept it!)

Miss Chelsea, there are plans for such a bag on my shop. PLans. It might happen sometime in the next ten years. But when I finish it you'll be the first to know :)
