My kiddos are old enough now that I don't need a "diaper bag", but I am looking for a cute tote bag or other large purse that can fit standard purse items (keys, wallet, phone, makeup) but also has room for some things for the kids (snacks, water bottle, coloring book). We are traveling for a few days for Spring Break and I want something large enough to take out for long days exploring the city, but still stylish  Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

| lo and sons have great bags - they should hire me I love them so much. I have the laptop and the weekend travel bag (I forget what it's called), but they have an overnight bag that is chic enough to use during the day. |

Are you referring to the Los and Sons - OG or OMG bag? I've been eyeing the bags (considered overnight or weekender/gym bag) but noticed there's no water bottle holder.

| Just saw some cute ones in Gap that are like tote/bucket bags with both long shoulder strap and handles. Either canvas or suedy and a couple different colors. The suede was just over $100 I think. |

| If you can afford it, the Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM or GM is super chic and a great mom bag. |

I just bought this one
http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=7374&vid=1&pid=525247082 In the snake print and tan and I love them. I have a 10 month and 5 year old and can fit diapers, wipes, snacks, wallet, sunglasses, and toys/activities for the kids along with my wallet and sunglasses. They look and feel like leather and you can't beat the price. |

| OP: After travelling a lot with the kids and myself, I recommend the Coach. It is relatively inexpensive, indestructible (I have one 12 years old no wear --I know -- ridiculous). It can be folded up into luggage if needed, fits under the airline seat if not too full, and resists water and stains. Some people hate Coach because everyone has one -- but they have one for a reason. I don't use mine for everyday anymore. Now that it is semi retired, it makes a nice overnight for teens. So many choices in totes! Have fun! |

It's a beautiful bag, but to tote snacks and water bottles, I'd go with something more basic, e.g.,: http://shop.ju-ju-be.com/legacy-super-be/ |
