I love a good messenger bag. To be “good,” it has to be pretty, fashionable and functional, and versatile, so that it can carry a laptop just as well as it can makeup, books, and all the random rickrack that I have to have with me all day, everyday. I like them because sometimes I need something bigger than a purse, but I don't want to be carrying around something huge and cumbersome. If you feel the same way, check out some messenger bags to carry all day.

Raven Messenger Bag
Price: $44.00 at shanalogic.com
This is a great messenger bag to carry all day for several reasons. For one thing, it's light, so you won't be weighed down with a lot of bag bulk, yet is has tons of room. For another, I love the fact that it's hand designed and made to order, so when you order one, it will be completely original!
Dakine Brooke Messenger
Price: $55.00 at zappos.com
Dakine has a lot of great messenger bags on the offer. I picked this one because I'm just wild about plaid, plus I love the color scheme! However, it comes it ten different color combos, so you're sure to find something you like. The padded strap is also great – it won't dig into your shoulder when you have a lot of stuff to carry.
Michael Kors Messenger Saddle Bag
Price: $178.00 at shop.nordstrom.com
If you want a messenger bag to carry all day that doesn't exactly look like a messenger bag, this is the way to go. It comes in a lot of different colors as well, from standard black to bright orange. No matter what color your choose, the silhouette is completely classy, but it still has lots of room. It looks more like an oversized purse than anything.
Woven Burst Messenger Bag
Price: $19.80 at forever21.com
Not all messenger bags have to be large and in charge. If you want something smaller, this is a great choice. It still has plenty of room, though. You could carry text books in it, as well as smaller laptops and netbooks. Plus, something about the design is super retro!
Here We Doe Shoulder Bag
Price: $69.99 at modcloth.com
This is also a great messenger bag to carry all day, namely because it's just so cute! It looks so friendly, and how adorable are all those deer? This would make a great beach bag as well. It could be your all-in-one bag, really, from school books to laptops to anything else you need to carry around with you.
Cole Haan Heritage Weave Hadley Messenger Bag
Price: $195.00 at zappos.com
Here's another great choice if you want a messenger bag that doesn't really look like a messenger. This bag is completely classic, thanks to that weaving. It comes in several different colors as well, and looks great in every choice. The fact that you get two sturdy straps is also a plus.
JPK Paris “Spark” Nylon Messenger Bag
Price: $109.90 at shop.nordstrom.com
You know I had to pick something pink, right? Actually, this also comes in green, yellow, and black. It's not immensely huge, but it's plenty big enough to carry all the things you need to bring along with you in a day to day basis. Plus, there's just something about the silhouette I adore!
I hope you like these messenger bags to carry all day as much as I do. I just love having plenty of room and space. Which do you prefer, a handbag, a messenger bag, or something smaller like a clutch?
