Are you getting tired of my new found love of the scanner yet? I certainly hope not because I am just getting started!!As mentioned, I find lots of inspiration on the pages of magazines just like many of you do. A good number of years back I found this wonderful monogram page in Town and Country weddings. It has come in so handy through the years and I have been able to collect a good deal of items on the page. When I worked at Serefina in college I also gave a copy of the page to our owner for inspiration and perhaps it was what got me promoted to monogram manager! You never know! The Bonanos (mine are black with hot pink) and the cosmetic case (did I ever tell you I monogrammed an identical case for Jessica Simpson while also working at Serefina??) are both wonderful, but the LL Bean Tote is a true staple piece. If you do not own one you need to open head to the site now and order one ASAP! They are a STEAL and they last FOREVER! Plus, it does not hurt that the spring colors are now online. I am in LOVE with the new pink and green. 
Either will look darling with Lilly anything in my opinion! I currently have a medium navy and large hunter green, but plan to order a medium deep fuchsia (shall I add my initials again or go for Hopsy this time around?) with a gift card today. I am thinking it will be perfect for groceries and even dry cleaning. The colors this spring are just so vibrant and fun and these bags are so durable that you cannot go wrong. These make the ultimate graduation, birthday and bridesmaid gift. In fact, should I ever get married I will be ordering each bridesmaid one in pink and will fill it will several amazing treats. It would even be nice to put these in the rooms of all your out of town wedding guests with snacks and fun. Enjoy and shop away before they are gone, gone, gone!
PS- Here is another little Bean Tote treat for all you madras lovers:

I love LLBean Totes! They are so perfect and come in great sizes!!
I like them both!
Hopsy - I just love your taste!
My totes I carry to pre-school are from LLBean and you can't ever wear them out. Right now they are offering free shipping through February 15th. I just got the email about it recently. Love the bright colors. I need to learn to use my new scanner for posting on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration. I would put Hopsy on a bag. Have an awesome day!
Love & blessings in NC!
LLBean totes, are the ultimate! I personally have 2, a medium Mom in brown with long handles, perfect for small trips to school functions or other trips where I need to carry something. I also have an XL bag in cranberry, the best for the pool, big school projects-you name it. Each of my kids have their own monogrammed ones. My daughter needs a new one-hers is quite dirty-that pink one is going to be it, she'll LOVE it. thanks for letting me know about it. :)
I'm planning on ordering the pink LL Bean with a monogram. I have one and love it so much. I think Hopsy in pink script would be really cute on a bag.
I love those totes! They have such great little compartments for random storage of things.
I KNEW I recognized that magazine page! I thought T&C, but wasn't sure until I read it :)
I am up to my ears in monogrammed LL Bean totes, but every year, I want more, haha! I think you should get your monogram, not full name, but I am a little obsessive about monograms :)
You can't beat the quality of these totes. They are great for so many uses.
you're right. the bean totes are a preppy staple. i can't live without mine!
I gave each of my bridesmaids a
LL Bean canvas tote (hot pink handles with their monogram). Everyone raved about them!

I've always loved LLBean totes... I got my first in middle school and it was light pink! I also bought one in high school that was light green... looks like those colors are back in style for the spring. I am definitely going to have to find mine at my parents house!
Love the L.L. Bean totes - esp. the price when you compare theirs to others!!
These are adorable! I need one in pink and green!
Love them- have too many to count, and they make great gifts.
I love these. I have 3 large green totes..one says Dry Cleaning, one says Groceries and one says Frozen...it keep Mr. G and myself organized
These totes are so versatile and affordable. I use them for all kinds of things - groceries, dry cleaning, travel, visiting the pool, etc.
I hope you have a nice week!
I love the Asprey frame! :)
Oh, I love the madaras one!!
Adorable, love the shoes and the vase! Keep them coming!
LLBean totes are the bomb! They are so sturdy and you can use them for everything!
I LOVE the madras tote! I may have to add that to my collection ;)
I just ADORE LLBean, I wish I had a scanner!
I have that same Town & Country Wedding issue!! I saved it along with all the other good issues. Too funny! I love all the gift ideas on there. Good stuff!
Don't you just love your scanner?!! LOL!!
Oh my gosh, that madras tote is adorable.
I have LL Bean totes AND once I got BigGirl a Lands End tote because it came in a hot pink (this was before LL Bean had one)....anyway, the LL Bean totes are so much thicker and sturdier...they stand up when you set them down....they don't fall over, ya know?
Oh I LOVE Bean totes. And I am drooling over the madras. must. order. now!
I love Bean's Boat totes. I have couple, monogrammed of course. Thanks for the link to the Patchwork Madras. It's too cute. The Mini would make a great lunch bag.
love this and own this!! the long handles are my fav!!
You can't go wrong with a LL Bean tote - the best!
I love my monogram Bonannos too :)
melissa
I love my LLBean totes as well! My Bonannos as pink monogrammed in green...need more! Hmmm, the madras one, Lord have mercy...I need that also!
I gave my bridesmaid mongrammed pink LL Bean totes full of goodies!!! Great post!
I have loved my LL Bean tote forever! I gave one to each of the girls in my wedding, even my flower girl, and it made me as happy as it made them! And, I love putting my new monogram on everything!
I have multiple boat and totes (though only one with my new, married monogram) and have been so impressed with how they've held up over the years. I was just going to do a post about the madras plaid as I received the magazine in the mail on Tues. It's adorable!
If you have others with your monogram, I would probably do your new one with Hopsy (in script). I'm going to get a new one this summer in the green with either a pink or navy monogram.
I just used my extra-large one in berry for my weekend in NY. I got mine with a zipper too, so it's great for a weekend away. I also have one with a vinyl bottom and straps for the beach!
Ooh, thank you for sharing! Heading over to LL Bean right now!
I just ordered my first tote last week (the heart one with my monogram).
Maybe I was living under a rock in LA but I didn't know about LL Bean until I moved to DC. Now I see the totes everywhere!
I love these totes when I'm out and about. I've found that when I'm traveling, I sometimes need a heftier bag for all my stuff, especially my makeup. I bought a make up bag from Salon Hive for all my plane rides. It's been a life saver!

I too love the LL Bean totes - headed to their outlet for the first time next week. Can you tell me what the brand is on the monogram cosmetics bag? I would love to get one of those too (wish the Bean offered it!)
