With Fall being in full swing, I had to pick up a new handbag to go with the sweaters, boots and jackets that are making their way back into my closet. After a bit of searching, I decided on the Herald bag from JustFab for the trendy chain details and the cool grey tone. I love the short shoulder strap too, a nice change from the long straps of my summer cross-body bags. Along with my new bag, I also wanted to share a few handbag must-haves for fall. Let’s take a look!
As a mom, I have to carry way too many items in my bag every day. There are items that I need for me as well as for my kids. I live for products that do double duty, so Kleenex Slim Packs are at the top of my list. These little travel packs of Kleenex are great for wiping little noses and for things like cleaning off my sunglasses and even wiping down my phone. 
I can’t be without my U by Kotex CleanWear Pads, so I keep a few in my purse and know that I will always be ready if my time of the month hits while I’m out of the house. Hair ties are an absolute necessity since both my daughter and I have long hair. The weather is so unpredictable so I need to be able to tie unruly hair back if it gets too hot. Burt’s Bees Cuticle Cream has been a staple in my routine (especially Fall & Winter) for the longest time. I like to have it on hand to dab on my cuticles while I’m sitting in the car waiting for school to let out. My SoftLips Cube is almost an obsession at this point (it’s so good!) and Secret Clinical Strength is essential in my bag just in case I forget to put it on at home one day. Trident gum in Watermelon Twist is a very recent addition to my handbag must-haves but these little sticks of gum are so tasty and my kids love it too. Another new staple in my handbag is the EcoTools hair brush. If you think all hair brushes are the same…you haven’t tried this one. If you have long hair, I highly recommend this brush, it’s so gentle and I really like the lightweight feel of it.

I hate it when I don’t have all the essentials in my purse. Looks like you are all set.

Yes, the cuticle cream is just wonderful!
I am never without Kleenex either. You just never know when you are going to need a tissue!

I know, and for me it’s more than a few times a day!
I used to have nosebleeds all the time as a child. Neither of my parents ever seemed to have a tissue when the torrents started, so now Kleenex packs are one of those things I HAVE to keep in my purse at all times!

I’m so glad the little slim packs look so cute in my purse. Glad you keep them on hand as well!
I so agree on the kotex and the black hair ties. Both are a must all year!

The two smallest and BEST essentials!
I always keep Kleenex packs in my purse along with a mini travel size deodorant. You could say my handbag is almost bottomless, I keep everything in there!

I know what you mean, it may have been a mistake to buy a BIGGER handbag!
