InStyle Editors Reveal What's In Their Bags During #NYFW
Melissa Rubini, Fashion Director
"I like the idea of carrying an updated classic—something that goes with everything and doesn't have to be switched according to my outfit every day. During Fashion Week, most of the time this bag stays in the carĀ and I just take a pouch (likeĀ this Givenchy one)Ā with me to holdĀ invites, my mobile, and Tic Tacs."

"I like to travel light, but I also like to be prepared. If I have my phone, I'm good to go. I also like to have a few things to keep me sane and happy, like handmade Valentines from my kids."

Leah Karp, Accessories Director
"I pack my bag for NYFW like I'm packing for a trip.Ā Sometimes you don'tĀ stop at the office or go home for 10 hours or more, so you need the essentials on-hand. I never leave home without my Oliver Peoples sunglasses—they make you look polished no matter what the day holds.Ā My Clinique Almost Lipstick is just the right ratio of tint toĀ gloss, and it's theĀ perfect shade for me. It somehow makes my cheeks look rosier when I put it on, too. And in the winter, I'll do anything to not get sick, so I'm neverĀ without hand sanitizer."

"I'm extremely organized and I like things to be easily transferable from my smaller handbags to gym bags and work totes. My wallet and keys are bright which makes them super-easy to find. I love mini beauty products that don't take up any extra space. And I always have Advil. It's aĀ cure all!"

Violet Gaynor, Digital Senior Fashion Editor
"During Fashion Week, I love to carry this red Chanel bag that I 'borrowed'Ā from my mom because it makes any outfit look polished and special. Since it's on the small side, I have to be quite strategic in planning out what to put inside. Here's what makes the cut: a couple of my beloved Jennifer Fisher cuffs so I can easily go from day to night;Ā a small tube of Koh Gen Do concealer for easy makeup touch-ups;Ā my Smythson diary to jot down notes;Ā andĀ most importantly, Polaroid pics of my daughter Plum."

KIm Peiffer, Digital Senior Fashion News Editor
"Fashion Week is always a non-stop, adrenaline-filled time of year. Running around from show to show and from the office straight to events requiresĀ a few essentials: my two must-have beauty products—mascara and tinted lip treatment—keep my makeup looking fresh after long days and nights.Ā And the portable charger is genius for keeping me always plugged in. As for the chocolate? I don't know why you would go through Fashion Week without it!"
