January always comes with new promises to better yourself and your wardrobe. One of my personal wishes is to give my handbag a nice makeover. We ladies tend to carry the world with us in our nifty handbags, which tends to cause major clutter. Here are a few crafty tricks for the handbag hoarder. First, finding the right purse is key. Whether you’re into large totes, or satchel bags, the key is pockets, space, and style. One of my favorite styles is the tote. Working on carrying a large wallet, and coin purse, can help get your purse tidy quickly. Check out the practical Furla Candy bag for instance, a transparent bag, forcing you to stay neat.  Another fun accessory is the Sleek Sunglasses Pouch from Forever 21. For your makeup and other lady essentials, look for a small, but spacious makeup case. Head to Victoria’s secret, for the makeup bag duo, offering one for home, and one for travel. The best electronics cases always have spots for cards, like the new Marc Jacobs Ipad Case.  Get into the habit of organizing your purse at the end of every week, and give yourself a fresh new start.
