As I get older, I notice that my taste in purses is changing.  It used to be, that I’d only purchase small purses.  I’d then try to jam everything into that one purse.  Now that I have a child, I am realizing how impractical small, clutch-style purses are for everyday use.  I do enjoy using a small, trendy purse when I’m out with my husband, but that is not the norm these days.  If you’ve ever shopped for a roomy purse, you know that space often results in the relinquishment of fashion.

I was pleasantly surprised to find a trendy selection of totes and handbags at Lands’ End.  I was first introduced to Lands’ End at BlogHer last year and again at Blissdom this year.  The swag bag we received at Blissdom was a cute, pink canvas tote from Lands End.  It’s perfect for the beach!  If you’re shopping for a purse-loving mom, check out Lands’ End’s selection of totes and handbags.  Don’t worry, they have bags in all sizes, styles, and colors.

I received a gorgeous Black Dip Dye Patent Leather Tote that I get compliments on every day.  I smile when they ask me where I purchased it, since they assume it’s a high-end designer. When I think of a tote, I definitely don’t think of something as chic and stylish as this.  You can use this for formal events or casual encounters.  It’s very roomy and I like that it closes with a button, since many of my totes don’t have that option.  The tote has three inside pockets and an outside pocket (where I stick my phone) which leaves plenty of room for both of our essentials.  I don’t even have to carry around a diaper bag!  This particular tote is available in nine colors, five of which are the “dip dye” style (which I prefer).  The patent leather exterior guards against dirt and stains and definitely gives the bag a “dressed up” look.  This particular tote retails for $79.50 but is on sale right now for $49.99 (and it’s worth every penny!).
