Sailing Away

Recently, I shared with you my all-time favorite purse, an ivory bag from Vera Wang’s line for Kohl’s.  I’m using it throughout the spring, but I was in search of a utility bag for summer, and I stumbled across the perfect bag back in February.

(Anthropologie’s Seafarer’s Tote, now unavailable.)

It’s the Seafarer’s Tote from Anthropologie (I’ve become an Anthro junkie, I realize), and I’m so glad I bought it when I did, because it’s now out of stock.  Though it’s a bit hard to tell from my picture, the bag is rather large and made of canvas, so it will be wonderful to use this summer, especially as a carry-all for the boys’ water and other items we need when out and about.

I especially love the nautical feel, and the lovely details on the bag.

I may not be traveling anywhere soon, but this sweet bag brings a touch of the sea to my everyday outings, and I’m looking forward to using it this summer.
