Sure, we could sit here and talk about your personal sense of style in terms of being classic, edgy, modern, or some other adjective used to describe clothing. But when it comes to your accessories, you need something that works with your lifestyle as well as being pleasing to your eye. That's why we've put together a slideshow of runway-inspiration bags that speak to your day-to-day interactions, responsibilities, and meanderings. Whether you spend your days downtown in a coffee shop, in the financial district, or traveling the world, we've got some ideas about how to carry on.

Downtown Chic
On a day-to-day basis, you leave the house in the morning and can have any number of meet-ups and locations to visit before you get home. So you need to schlep your tablet, laptop, jacket, and any number of other things. But you don't want to be boring while you do it. A pop of color does the trick on a roomy tote.

Uptown Sophisticate
You, lady-who-lunches, are the envy of so many city girls everywhere. You've got the ducats to take a taxi wherever you go, a light colored bag provides no impracticality, and you like ladylike structure. There's extra room for your iPad to have a quick meeting with the board before you head home to your afternoon nap.

Uptown Sophisticate
Out at night, you need only worry about carrying the essentials, so a tiny little cocktail number with luxe details is your bag of choice. We love this one from Catherine Malandrino.

Hometown Sweetheart
Just because you're not in a big city doesn't mean your life isn't busy, but your aesthetic might have a softer, more genteel sensibility just the same. This adorable bag is boxy enough to fit your lunch box for work or a couple of diapers for emergency changes.

Hometown Sweetheart
Yeah, I know, I'm taking the title somewhat literally here, but can't you see this on a movie date, walking down a picturesque main street with post-cinema coffees in hand?

Wanderlust Eclectic
Not all of us stay in a provenance full time. Some have taken their love of travel and new sights into their everyday existence. If that's you, you need something that goes everywhere during casual days and is sturdy to take a lot of moving and shaking.

Wanderlust Eclectic
I happen to think a bag that vaguely resembles a suitcase has a poetic justification to it that is also extremely functional.
