If you guys follow me on snapchat (add me: jessiafshin)…

you may have seen that instead of making it to barre last night (#oops), I poured a glass of rosé and spent the night cleaning out my closet. My, oh my, I can’t tell you how rewarding it felt (and may I add — incredibly ambitious for a Monday). Throughout the process, I noticed that most of the clothes I was taking out and putting in my donation pile included everything but my staple go-to items — the ones you find yourself reaching for every…single…day. Regardless of my job, I am a creature of habit — so I do play favorites.

In today’s case — I’m talking handbags. Sure, I love a good designer bag if you’re in the mood for treating yourself to something extra special. But I like to be realistic in the sense that most of the time — we’re seeking those under $100 bags. The everyday totes, crossbodies, work bags — the ones that you can’t help wanting to grab every time you’re out the door. Today I’ve partnered with Nordstrom to talk handbags, and I’m excited to talk favorites.

1. The Street Level: Hands down, favorite bag you will ever own. This cutie is reversible so you can wear it in two different colors. And the best part? It’ll last for (literally) ever. I have a lot of these for different purposes and seasons — as I’ve collected them at Nordstrom throughout my years of blogging. I guarantee you, it’s the best all-in-one tote you’ll ever own.
2. Sole Society Karlie Faux Leather Bucket Bag: This purse takes the cake for chic-est [work, weekend, happy hour] bag … ever. Another plus? All three colors are just as chic as the other. In fact, I had the hardest time choosing. Sole Society is a name brand you can trust with excellent quality and fab pricing to boot.
3. Phase 3 Tassel Faux Leather Shoulder Bag: Looking for a crossbody that is under $100 is always a tough-y. I was excited about spotting this one on Nordstrom, and absolutely adore the tassel detailing and camel color-combo. It’s safe to say this cutie will go with plenty of #ootds to come.
