Going back to school means going back to lots of other things -- back to gym class, or basketball practice, or slumber parties after the Friday night football game. And while you could toss your stuff in your regular backpack, we suggest something a little more stylish.

I am sort of a bag lady. Not like a homeless bag lady and not a girl who can't stop buying purses (I am a shoe gal myself) but I actually just carry a lot of bags. Every morning I wake up and head out the door with my gym bag (a huge duffel bag), my laptop/ workbag, and my purse (which is also huge). I teeter around in my 5-inch heels from the car, to the gym, to the office, back to my car and home. Everyday this happens and everyday someone comments on how much stuff I carry around.

The other day a co-worker who also goes from the gym to work asked me "why are you carrying so much?" She then proceeded to show me her awesome Lululemon gym bag that was a triples threat, as it not only had gym space but a laptop compartment and plenty of room for personal stuff too.

The bag was awesome so I had to tell her that I was going to run out and get the same bag but in a different color. The next day I trucked it on over to Lululemon and to my delight they had plenty of bags in different colors and different fabrics. I ended up going with a white bag that was covered in a black graffiti print with bright orange zippers. Talk about $78 well spent! I was able to consolidate my three bag habit into one bag while looking insanely stylish.

With the New Year approaching I think it's safe to say that the majority of us have some resolutions to work on.

Let's face it, getting yourself inside a gym is hard enough and something extremely fashionable may be just the push you need. Forget about those lame duffle bags from the sporting goods store because this studded duffle bag from Betsey Johnson is much more attractive.

This black duffle gym bag was flying off the shelves at the Betsey Johnson boutique in Washington DC this past weekend. The original intention of this gorgeous bag is for jetting off to a luxurious weekend retreat but I have also found its makes the perfect gym bag. With enough room for your gym gear and a change of normal clothes, you would be a fool to carry anything less fabulous than this.

Purchase this bag online or in Betsey Johnson boutiques for $150, it comes in black and purple.
