During Fashion Week, most of the time this bag stays in the car and I just take a pouch (like this Givenchy one) with me to hold invites, my mobile, and Tic Tacs."

Sometimes you don't 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. My Clinique Almost Lipstick is just the right ratio of tint to gloss, and it's the 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 never without hand sanitizer." Clockwise from top left: Marc Jacobs beanie, $46; marcjacobs.com.

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 a cure all!"

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; a small tube of Koh Gen Do concealer for easy makeup touch-ups; my Smythson diary to jot down notes; and most importantly, Polaroid pics of my daughter Plum."

Running around from show to show and from the office straight to events requires a few essentials: my two must-have beauty products—mascara and tinted lip treatment—keep my makeup looking fresh after long days and nights. 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!"
