A little about what I wore for a day of holiday shopping:

Pants: I was in search forever for the perfect pair of black jeans and scored these Not Your Daughter's Jeans for $18 at a local consignment shop, Frilly Frocks in Leesburg. #score

Jacket: I love the deep maroon color of this jacket from The Coffee Shop and all the cute details like the toggle clasps and plaid interior. Check out their website and follow their social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest) for cold weather style inspiration!

Cardigan: This is one of my favorite items for winter. It’s such a cute and cozy piece. Free People is like, the master of cozy. Snagged this one at their Bethesda location.

The bag: This SOLSAK bag is quickly becoming my go-to bag. Not only is it completely adorable and versatile, but it has a secret compartment to stash your heels or flats for convenient commutes. I zipped up the handles here and used it as an oversized clutch for an afternoon of Christmas shopping. There’s one day left to win this bag!

This tank: Literally the softest thing I own. Yes, it was kind of expensive (around $50) but Iately, I’ve been all about luxe basics, especially from Anthom. It's not online yet, but you can pick one up at their Mosaic District location.

The scarf: Twice as Warm, a DC-based warm accessories company, is one of my favorites - they are basically the TOMS for scarves and hats. For every piece you buy, they donate a warm item to someone in need within the DC area. I bought a few awesome pieces as Christmas gifts this year!

The season of giving has arrived! It's Julien has teamed up with the brilliant minds who created SOLSAK to give away a color blocked tote!

Let me just say, this isn't just your ordinary tote. This one is very, very special. It was created with the busy metropolitan girl in mind. In fact, the woman who invited this bag, Georgina Agyekum was relocated from LA (where everyone drives) to the D.C. area (where so many people take public transit), she discovered a huge problem. Meetings and after-work dates called for professional heels - the kind that aren't made for walking. And when you think about it, even putting a change of heels in your bag certainly won't do. Dirt (and who knows what else) from the bottom of those pumps and literally everything else in my bag (makeup, my iPad, work laptop, cashmere cardigan, do I really need to go on?) do not mix.

This is where the SOLSAK bag was born. In 2011, Georgina invented a bag with a special shoe- pocket perfect for pumps or flats. I think we all owe Georgina a slue of major high-fives.

In case all that isn't reason enough, here are 5 reasons you really need a SOLSAK bag:

1. Because we'd all like to avoid our bags looking like this.
2. The never-ending debate of whether to wear flats or heels has been solved. You don't have to choose. You can bring both.
3. Navy and canvas will never go out of style. (If navy and canvas aren't your thing, they also have a weekendender version, a hobo tote, and this inconspicuous clutch.)
4. You know the rule 'don't mix business with pleasure.' The same goes for shoes. Pack an extra pair.
5. Your feet will thank you.
