Hello Darlings, A woman's purse is her weapon, we all know it! It  carries our secrets and so much more. During the fashion week that weapon becomes a stand in for everything. From a beauty kit, to a lunch box, a tech station and  a go-to companion. For that one week, we essentially live out of our purses. It may not be the same purse but regardless of which one it is,  it is single - handedly the most important accessory aside from our phone which is probably in that purse! Not to forget it is also a fashion statement and during this brutal winter, the shoes and the purses have been lifesavers. They are the only accessories that can be regularly changed to add a kick to an otherwise dull parka or winter coat.

Allow me to introduce you to  my latest obsession and joy, the new Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity purse. This little stunner is a perfect combination of  daytime meets cocktail hour. Versatile enough to transition every outfit from day to night. Since I tend to favor my purses and shoes;  Sweet Charity is seeing lot of action this week. Fashion week, day meeting or a night out every girl should consider having the following items in her purse at all times.

Phone & Portable Phone Charger — because having a dead phone feels like death and finding an outlet is not always easy. I was lucky to receive this cute charger from the awesome peeps at Smart Water but I also have Maxboost with me at all times as well.

Lip Gloss or Lip Chap—  because soft lips is a must-have. My favorite is Anna Sui lip balm.

Concealer —  those secrets are better hidden and retouched throughout the day. My favorite is Armani  maestro concealer.

Mints —  no excuses, just have mints. My absolutely favorite are the ones from Starbucks. 

Cash & Credit Card —  Always be sure to carry emergency cash in your wallet and a credit card.

Personally, I try not to pack my purses with unnecessary items as throughout the day it becomes a hassle having to lug it all along. Try to minimize how many "essentials" you pack and keep in mind that you really don't need your entire make up kit.

With Love...

Marta
