LITTLE TALK

I have a special place in my heart for a big slouchy purse, I've always been a fan. Buuut it's not always practical to carry about 10 lbs. of things on your shoulder. So, thats where this gem comes in. A teeny tiny purse is the greatest thing that has happened to me.

Okay, maybe thats dramatic, but I really think it's life changing. I used to have really sore shoulders from carrying around so much weight, even when my purse wasn't full of useless crap, the weight of the leather was enough. This is the perfect solution, but it takes some adjusting and evaluation of what you really need on you at all times. These are what I consider my essentials, and all the extra stuff I was certain that I needed in my purse, I don't even miss! Get this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag here, but I'm also craving these; 1 | 2 | 3

Favorite Lip colors>> I have a million colors, but I have narrowed down which one I have to have daily. The three I always carry are MAC Angel, Impassioned, and Pink Nouveau, along with the lip conditioner.

Relief>> I always have ibuprofen and Excedrin on hand!

Hard Drive>> As a designer, you never know when you will need to bust out the hard drive. This thing is attached to me, it has all of my work on it and I would be lost without it!

Mini wallet>> Stephanie found this perfect little wallet at Target! My Hobo wallet doesn't fit in this small purse, this is the perfect holder for all of my cards and my license. On that note, all of those random punch cards and coupons you're never going to use, toss them. Seriously, clean all that crap out and make room for more important things! :)

Bobby pins & lotion>> Obviously essentials for any woman, my absolute favorite lotion is Curél!

Money>> All held together by this adorable Kate Spade money clip, get it here!

Business cards>> You never know when you'll meet a future client! Fill up this Kate Spade business card holder with those cute cards and sell your business!

Moral of the story? Small purses are the best for day to day, save the big ones for a special occasion or sneaking food into the theater!
