Crushing on Tote Bags

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

My name is Imogen and I'm a bagoholic!

OK, there is my confession. I've always loved handbags - I guess it's because you never feel fat in them! No matter whether you lose or gain weight they fit the same.

I never carried a nappy bag when my kids were young, just a larger handbag and a tote style is a fabulous replacement for a nappy bag if that's the land you're living in!

I've been collecting handbags for a long time. I think my love affair with bags started in my late teens or early 20s and it hasn't abated.

I don't buy too many of them, but I do like to add one to my collection every now and again, and I do cycle through my bags depending on what I'm wearing, where I'm going and the outfit as a whole.

At the moment I'm crushing on tote bag styles. Big enough to hold my ipad, diary (yes I still carry a paper one, I just don't like the electronic version, as much as I've tried) plus all those other bits and pieces, from lipstick to pens, bandaids to pain-killers plus a few business cards!
