My Favorite Tote Bag & a Giveaway!

Duluth Trading Company Giveaway!  They have the best leather bags! kellyelko.com

Do you have a go to outfit?

Mine is a perfectly broken in pair of jeans, worn leather boots (flip flops in the summer) and a t-shirt and cardigan.

 

I was thrilled to have finally found my go to bag and it was love at first sight.

Chances are, when you see me, I’ll be toting around my favorite Lifetime Leather Tote.

It’s the perfect travel bag – I carried my new favorite tote onto my flight to Florida and it fits my laptop, camera, phone, kindle, water bottle, sunglasses, makeup, wallet and more.

I toted my new favorite tote to the Country Living Fair and got tons of compliments.

      1. Is it the same bag? It looks different – taller rather than just a smaller size? I like the squatness (lol) of your bag.

  18. Your bag is gorgeous! Is it very heavy? I have a leather tote that I love to pieces, but it is heavy before I even fill it up! Add a notebook, and it gets hard to lug around. This one could be perfect!!

    I’m pretty proud that you are featuring a Minnesota company! Have you ever been to Duluth? Your family would love it for a vacation trip, including and surrounding areas, if you haven’t. I could give you loads of suggestions if you ever head our way. I live north of St. Paul, on the way to “Da-loot,” as the old-timers say. 😉

    Happy summer from the north country!
