Achieve Shopping Domination with the Perfect Tote Bag.
I confess, I envy those women who seem capable of carrying everything they need for an entire day in one of those tiny crossbody bags the size of a deck of cards. I think of them as the MacGyver of accessorizing: I couldn’t even carry a day’s worth of lipsticks in a purse that size, which is why I’m a fan of the tote bag. I mean, really, what it’s designed to do is advertised right there in the name—it “totes” things!
For down-to-earth, back-to-basics functionality with a dash of feminine flair, I love the Keen Coronado Tote in Violet Quartz. With only one interior zip pocket it doesn’t offer a lot of organization, but the top zipper keeps the contents safe and securely contained. Plus it looks great with these when I want to go all matchy.
On the flipside, you can go all out with the luxe Anuschka Multi Pocket Shopper, a hand-painted work of art that has both rolled handles and a detachable, adjustable shoulder strap. As beautiful from the back as it is from the front, this tote bag is a bona fide stunner.
A perfect blend of design and lightweight functionality, Baggallini baggs have made a big splash in the accessories world. The Baggallini Milano Tote bagg is another classic that performs like a champ, with plenty of pockets, a detachable coin purse and dual folded straps that resist sliding off your shoulder.
