Accidentally Allison : Monthly Favorite

I've always loved the messenger bag. It's the perfect bag for travel, business, and personal use. If you find the right one, you can compartmentalize it as well. Normally there are pockets on the outside or inside that allow you to throw in your lipgloss or necessities, your mobile device (or devices for me...), your laptop, and a book or a magazine. Heck, some women even opt for a messenger bag as a diaper bag!

Linen fabrics are so popular this season, so it's no surprise that many messenger styles have emerged with the neutral colors and airiness that it provides. I love this updated Cole Haan version. It's seasonless and classic - meaning that you will get a ton of use out of it!

Cole Haan Varick Messenger Bag, $348

And of course there are so many edgy styles to the updated messenger style. In fact - some of these pieces don't even look like messenger bags! Rebecca Minkoff is one of my favorite bag designers, and I love this leather and hardware that she's put on this piece. Amazing!
