A Tote-ally Cute Laptop Bag

Saffiano Leather Carry-All, $129, Danier

You're super confident in your smarts, your powers of persuasion, your ability to outwit any bully in a boardroom. But honestly, pantsuits and pantyhose all week long? Where's the fun in that? I'm loving this Elle Woods-esque structured bag with plenty of space for your laptop, meeting notes and phone, and enough bubblegum pink (and then some) to sufficiently girl up your 9 to 5, especially if you work in one of those offices. Life's too short to be so serious, especially in the summer...

My most recent Roots obsession - the Selina Italian Leather Box Bag ($239.99)  I wear it every day (did you know it's pink inside? sigh...)

I can always count on Roots for a hit of pure Canadiana, with its cozy sweaters, easy lounge wear, sumptuous leather handbags and nostalgic finds (Beaver Canoe, anyone?).  With the influx of American chains storming our retail scene, I love to see that Roots is constantly growing, evolving and, like a fine VQA, just keeps getting better with age.  

It's the last day of RLR's Treat Week and to celebrate, we're giving away a $50 Gift Card to Roots.  To win, leave a comment below telling me your what you love most about Canada.  (Maple syrup? Hockey? Justin Bieber?) Contest ends at 5 pm today.  Good luck to every Canuck! x
