Reusable bags

I love reusable bags. I might actually be addicted. I just can't resist a cute bag! I use them for everything: from groceries to transporting things from my apartment to car to work. I keep them by my front door and in my car. My favorites are the ones from Forever 21 (see the cupcake one below). The F21 bags retail for $1.50 (!!!) and I have at least 6 (see my nautical ones in this post). They are easy to bring along to the grocery store and hold heavy essentials without breaking. I also really like the Lilly Pulitzer ones (see flag one below). I included a variety of different styles. Please leave a comment with other suggestions. Would love to see what you use! You can never have too many of these! I will be posting my collection next week.

Some cute ones I have seen recently:

Winston tote:


Bicycle bag:


Penguin tote (the foldup bag comes in an adorable penguin zipup pouch!):


Cupcakes:

I keep my favorite bracelets in a heart shaped box. A few years ago I received some Juicy Couture underwear in this adorable box. It has dividers (for each pair of underwear that came with it) so it is perfect for storing bracelets!
Necklaces are on my Pottery Barn Teen necklace holder
Favorite earrings are on an Urban Outfitters jewelry holder
