Listen, I change out my purses often. But my wallet? Maybe once a year, if that. I go for a small-medium size in a good material so it lasts. Kate Spade wallets are my favorite!

Okay I know what you’re thinking.. How are you fitting that in a small purse? You can’t! But, if I am lugging around a big bag, I am having something for my water inside. Preferably a HydroJug as you can seal it so it doesn’t leak!
