Here it is ladies: I like big bags and I cannot lie. 
 
I don't know if it's just this jet setter, summer vacay attitude I've adopted since coming back from my NY trip, or maybe it's just that I've been seeing lots of friends lately and crashing at their places. Maybe it's that I'm just a packrat and I must keep absolutely everything. In any case, I cannot get enough of big totes. 

I'm obsessed with finding great big practical carry alls for all my bits and pieces! They're just so handy to have for the office, school and weekends. 

I found 16 totes amaze totes to add to your purse collection: 


1. Michael Kors Large Miranda Grained Tote (US$1195.00): I love the idea of adding this bright and bold fuschia bag to a solid, neutral outfit. Think streamlined pencil skirt and this tote for an office appropriate, chic outfit.

2. Mansur Gavriel Cammello with Dolly Large Tote (US$435.00)
 
3. Gigi New York Teddie Python Tote (C$295.00)
 
4. Heirloom Tote (US$269.99)

5. Mossimo Supply Co. Polka Dot Carry All Handbag (US$29.99): Multiple straps and a big bucket make for a great bag to carry all the books, pens and pencils come September. 

6. Rudsak Ralph Bag (C$345.00)

7. Forever Zigzag Beach Bag (C$15.80): An inexpensive beach bag is a must in my closet. It's perfect for hauling around and you don't need to worry about getting it dirty.

8. Liebeskind Liselotte Satchel (C$138.00): I think this one would make a great gym bag as well! Always remember to look for crossbody options for when your arms get sore. 

9. French Connection Lake Canvas Tote Bag (C$116.61)

10. TopShop Washed Pocket Tote (UK$40.00)

11. Echo Colourblock Neoprene Tote (C$70.00)

12. Not Rational Cooper Leather Diaper Bag (C$698.02): Who knew that diaper bags could be so chic?

13. H&M Imitation Leather Bag (C$29.95)

14. Johnny Loves Rosie Tote Bag (C$143.52) 
 
15. Leather Shopper (C$59.99, on sale)
 

16. Shake Womens Tote (US$89.99): This is an amazing invention, chicks. The bottom is mesh but it covered with an envelope like closure. When you're finished being a beach bum, you simply unclip and shake out all the sand.

Which are your faves?
