Handbags carry so much, your phone, your credit cards, and an array of products to touch-up anything and everything, but sometimes it’s good to take inventory of what’s inside your bag so you have just what you need. Especially in a city like New York, it’s important to not carry more than necessary. With all of the running around we’ve been doing this summer, from free yoga in the park, to cool art exhibitions in Brooklyn, we like to keep our bags light and with everything we need. Here are some things we always keep in tow when we’re out and about.

Lauren Cecchi New York ‘Sorella’ in black: The perfect little black bag that dresses up any outfit.

Vianel Leather Card Case: We love the color and how it perfectly holds all of our cards. Also, another Made in New York brand!

NARS ‘Matte Multiple’ in Laos: The perfect product for the girl on the go! This color goes great on our lips, cheeks, and we love the matte finish.

Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Powder in ‘Mini’: This setting powder works really well and keeps your makeup looking fresh with every application, and its mini size allows it to fit in your bag.

Conair Hair Ties: Let’s be honest, with this New York heat you never know when that hairstyle you’ve worked on all morning loses the steamy subway battle.

Tweet us @laurencecchi what’s in your LCNY bag with the hashtag #LCNY! We want to see your fabulous style!

Yours in Style,

Lauren Cecchi New York Team
