What’s In My Bag – NYFW

The perfect bag for the woman on the go, the Vertigo is created by NYC handbag designer Niki English and inspired by the architectural diversity of the city. What I love about this bag is that it truly is the perfect size. It fits my laptop and has several outer compartments for the little things, but isn’t unwieldy. It comes with a removable shoulder strap, which is key. When you’re running around in heels you have to be able to sling your bag over your shoulder. Satchel handles can be killers. The black and white leather goes with anything and the reptilian texture gives it that extra pop.  Here are my handbag essentials.

1)  Hand sanitizer – enough said.
2)  Kind bars – stopping for a meal doesn’t always happen so I keep these in my bag to help me stay energized.
3)  Makeup palette – I love this compact from Dior.  Eyes, lips, cheeks, it’s got me covered.
4)  Sunglasses – they protect you from UV rays and hide tired eyes.
5)  Perfume – for when you can’t get back to the hotel to freshen up.
6)  Business cards – lots of networking requires lots of cards.
7)  Cell phone
8)  Band-Aid Friction Block – one of my favorite inventions ever, rub this on your toes and heels and you’ll never deal with another blister.
9)  Mophie battery – because you need a back-up.
10)  Lipstick and Chapstick: My two go-to’s – Nu Evolution lipstick in Femme Fatale and my trusty Burt’s Bee’s.
11)  Moleskine notebook and pens – to jot down inspirations and notes.
12)  Laptop
