A Peek Inside my Purse

(Oct.21.09)
Last year I wrote about the Fashion Week Fixes that carry me through the week (I'm trying to avoid as many Timbits this year) and since SweetLife @ LG Fashion Week has already started, I thought I'd share a peek inside my purse.
From the random to the really-can't-live-without, I definitely wouldn't be able to be out with a clutch.
1. Flats. I can no longer spend all day and all night in heels. Compromise for the trek to and from is key
2. Notebook. Moleskines are my favourite (cliche for a reason I figure), especially a small size with a hard cover for writing on the fly.
3. Wallet. Mine was a gift (in bright apple green) and holds everything from receipts to TTC tokens with ease.
4. Makeup case. Not fashion-week specific, I just really like having lip balm easily accessible (and this way I don't have to worry about leaks).
5. Blackberry. OK, more like an in-my-hand staple (stay on top of emails and see what people are tweeting after the shows).
6. Cinnamon Binaca. Not just for lounge lizards: fresh breath in an instant without having to awkwardly chew something in public.
7. Business Card holder. We end up chatting to a lot of people at the tent and this way mine are easily on hand (rooting is rather awkward).
8. Glasses. I only need them for distance so always forget I have contacts as an option too.
9. Light gloves. Easy to carry and far better than bracing for a possible temperature drop once the last show is over.
10. Some kind of snack. I often forget this one but I'm determined to try (running on coffee just isn't the same as it was a few years ago). I'm liking turkey, provolone and honey mustard wrapped up in a piece of Boston lettuce.
Hm, when did I become so high maintenence?
What about you - what can't you live without inside your purse?
