A purse is truly a girl’s best friend. It combines the style of an accessory with the practicality of somewhere to put all of your things! These purses are the most essential for completing any fashionista’s wardrobe.

Clutch

Clutches come in all sizes: teeny to oversized but always adorable. Clutches are perfect for looking chic and being able to fit the essentials for your day or night out. A large one is fun for daytime activities, while a small one is perfect for nights at the bar or dinner dates.

Tote

A tote bag is a staple that works for work or just running some errands. Invest in a high quality one so it lasts through the daily wear and tear. A neutral color is best so it works with every outfit in your closet.

Bucket Bag

The latest trend in purses is the bucket bag, a casual, yet stylish take on the timeless accessory. It’s perfect for storing everything from your sunglasses to your tablet. Not only will you look totally trendy but you’ll be functional!

Weekender

The weekender bag is big enough for any busy lady on a crazy day. It’s perfect as a gym bag, diaper bag, or a light travel bag. Store a smaller purse (like the clutch!) inside with your wallet and other importants for easy access.

Crossover

The crossover is similar to a clutch, but breezier and easier. Choose something with a light material and a thin strap, such as a light chain or fabric. One that hits right at your hip allows for easy use and an adorable accessory to your outfit.
