I wear totes more than any other bag.  They are large enough to carry magazines, my laptop and all other daily essentials as a working mother on the go.  MICHAEL Michael Kors Python-Embossed Patent Leather Tote is a beautiful turquoise with an exotic finish. Details include gold-tone hardware, side patch pockets, hanging logo tag, top-zip closure with interior zip, cell phone and additional pockets; interior key ring, and protective metal feet so that the bottom of the bag stays intact.  Price: $198 at Bloomingdales.
