When I shop for a shoulder bag, I like to choose something that's versatile and will work well for both day and evening. My favorites are the ones that add a 'pop' to any outfit. I look for bags in unique colors with fun details like a hanging tassel or chain strap. Above all, functionality is a must. If it doesn't fit my phone, wallet, sunglasses and some sort of toy for my kids, it's a no-go. Here are some of my faves.

This ALC Shoulder Bag is a summer dream. I love the crisp white color and trendy tassel detail. The best part? The adjustable strap!

I love this Marc Jacobs bag for so many reasons.  Its bold shoulder strap really stands out and the classic color combo of blue, red and gold will never go out style.  Lastly (and probably most importantly for moms), it has a nifty little outer pouch for your phone. No more bottom-of-the-bag digging!
