Beis work tote!

I’m about to order the commuter bag as a more casual alternative to my work tote and the coach bag I use when I need to look ~nice~

Though slightly above $250, Dagne Dover Signature Tote is great. I’ve been using the Legend size daily for almost 10 years and it’s perfect for laptops and anything else needed.

Same here!! Used it for 7 years. The style is timeless and pockets/organization were a game changer

I have a Vera Bradley commuter tote in plain black. It fits my work stuff (including laptop) & is machine washable, which is amazing as someone who takes a lot of public transit.

Kate Spade has some nice options. And diaper bags can be a great option too - lots of pockets, padding, and wipeable surfaces.

I have a few Lily Jades that made the diaper bag to work bag changeover seamlessly.

Checkout Glass Ladder. They hold water bottles too

Is that the ad that always pops up on my IG with the woman who used to work at Marc Jacobs and they told her having a water bottle pocket was dumb? I always mean to look at those but it’s never the right time when I see the ad.

Any additional recos if price point goes up to $500-ish?

Freja NYC Paloma. Stunning bag, super well made and three compartments each with pockets. It’s around 400 but honestly worth 800-1500 IMO

Anyone like Madewell totes? Thinking about getting one but not sure if they're good for office?

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
