My name is Libby and I’m a recovering hot mess. For years I walked out the door with my small purse, carrying a water bottle in one hand, a jumbo phone in the other hand, an extra layer in another hand, my laptop bag in another and… Ah shoot, where are my keys? One day I caught my confused reflection and half wondered, What would Oprah do? And you know what the impeccable soon told me (well, what she told Gayle… and everyone, really, in her annual favorites roundup): She recommended the K. Carroll Taylor Tote. She was right, as usual. This streamlined tote that looks sleek. And luckily, Yahoo readers can now get an exclusive 25% discount on it with our special code: TAYLORTOTE25. That makes it only $45 (was $60).

In her latest roundup of Oprah’s Favorite Things, media expert Taylor of K. Carroll Accessories showed up and said, “We all have a friend who carries a significant amount of stuff around with her on a daily basis. (I’m talking to you, Gayle!) Not too big or too small, this vegan suede tote is just the right size for your on-the-go lover who needs a stylish fix.

(Note: This wasn’t Oprah’s first time highlighting a K. Carroll creation, either! She’s also favored the Harper Crossbody and the Kelsey Crossbody in previous years.)

As a busy mom who likes to be prepared for anything — thirst, hunger, cuts, UV rays, cold freezer aisles — I don’t travel light. But even if I can’t be a minimalist, at least I can look like one with this one-off beauty. Everything can be stored neatly, cards are kept organized with triple RFID pockets in a larger popper compartment and a deep (but not too deep) open main compartment. The generous 9.5 inch handle makes it easy to throw over my shoulder and go. And it’s big enough to carry my laptop and other daily essentials without overwhelming my frame.

It’s important to me, as a vegan, that this is made from a fake suede, but aside from protecting animals, this material is beach-friendly and won’t ruin it in the rain! Plus, it looks super expensive without being.

Speaking of looks, have you checked out the colors yet? Choosing is perhaps the most difficult. I love my black (it’s my favorite color), but I can’t take my eyes off the lovely pink, a beautiful light blue and bold orange. And there are just too many beautiful neutrals to choose just one. But the good news is that you can use the special Yahoo discount code for as many of these as you want.

I can’t believe it’s taken me so many years to come up with the concept of the chic tote, but I’m finally getting it, and I’m all for it.
