Window shopping.

So one of the reasons I wanted to blog is because I love window shopping online, imagining all the lovely wardrobe items I might have one day when I'm teaching. I also love to window shop and imagine friends and family that would be suited for particular items, so it's not like I'm being selfish... maybe.

So today I found some bags that would be great for teaching, roomy enough to carry the essentials (wallet, sunglasses, keys), homework and marking, lunch and snacks (we all know the staff room is not exactly vegan or waistline-friendly).

Vegan Queen: I just found this high-end bag line this week, but I'm already in love! So gorgeous.

I'm loving the City Bag in blue/white. Great for spring/summer, when wearing crisp, colourful clothing!

It is $855 and can be found here at The Green Loop. Obviously that is a lot of money, but I know lots of people who drop that much on LV, Coach or other designer bags, so why not be stylish and love the animals while you're at it?

Matt & Nat are another great animal-friendly brand, and while still a bit expensive, they are much more affordable than the Vegan Queen bag. I love this Lindstrom bag in Red. Why not get noticed when you're carrying a great bag?

It's even on sale in Red (and Cement/White) for $159, and available in Black for $265. They are available from Matt & Nat. It would even qualify for free ground shipping! Awesome.

Aldo also has great synthetic bags, available for even better prices! They go on sale at the end of every season too, and if you sign up for their emails, you can get info on when the sales start.

This Havermale is $55, and the classic, structured shape combined with the taupe colour is great for fall and winter. Available here.

Of course, not every day are we carrying around loads of papers and marking to be done... right? *cough* Well, we can pretend... so here's a few bags that are great for dinner, movies or other social activities outside the school!

I found this cute cross-body bag at Nine West for $29! What a steal... I love cross-body bags for shopping and hanging out because they leave your hands free for drinks, browsing, texting, whatever... From here.

Another I love from Nine West is this animal print lovely... here.

I think that's enough for today! I wonder if virtual window shopping burns calories? In a perfect world...
