My amazing friend Dina Fierro of eye4style has started a ‘What’s in HER Bag?’ feature, and was kind enough to feaure mine this week! See below for the numerous necessary and rationalized as necessary items I carry with me on a daily basis! And of course, check out eye4style – I know you will love it (if you don’t already!)
My dear friend Julia DiNardo really SETS THE STANDARD for multi-tasking. Not only does she write the amazing blog Fashion Pulse Daily (and for other outlets like Stylelist), she’s also a professor at NYU and the designer behind the aborbs Neighbor Teaze line.

Thanks to Julia for participating!
