Our Style Gurus are go-go-go—especially during the summer. Between morning workouts, long days interning and catching up with friends over dinner, a properly stocked handbag is pretty much a life line.
But how do you pack your purse with essentials without 1. throwing in the entire contents of your apartment and 2. physically breaking your back? Seven of our most #RAD Style Gurus are spilling their secrets and sharing their must-haves every girl should have in her handbag.
Check out their swear-by essentials (and super cool flat lays) below!
