The Satchel ~ Must Have Bag of the Season #fashionfriday

Maybe it's the shape. Or maybe it's the abundance of space inside. Whatever it is, I'm in love with spring's "it" bag, the satchel. The satchel is a structured bag that offers plenty of space and a streamlined design.

It's worthy of carrying all those oddly shaped items and those that are too large to fit into any other type of bag. It's polished and practical, fun and functional.

Put your favorite tote away in your closet for a while and grab a satchel instead.

Here are a few of my favorites.

I couldn't resist this Joy Mangano satchel when I saw it on HSN. I love the color, and it is so roomy inside, which is an absolute must for me. I carry so much around with me, and I love a big bag. This satchel is big without being enormous and boxy.

Friday is the most fashionable day of the week. This week I am loving Jo-Lynne's suggestions for staying chic on snow days. Not only does she offer up fashionable choices, but they look oh so comfy too! Don't miss checking her post our as well as other fabulous Fashion Friday participants.
