Can you believe today is the first day of Fall?!? Where did the Summer go, seriously? I can’t even. Since the pumpkin candles are already burning their way through my apartment, I figured I should just come to terms with the fact that Summer is over. One of the ways I do that is switching out my handbag! I usually change my bag one to time per season. I just grabbed this gorgeous DVF animal print handbag and some gorgeous DVF pouches so I was super excited to put my Fall handbag together. Animal print and glitter? Yep, that’s my love language. I originally thought I would do a 5 essentials post but that was just too hard, I’ve never been one to carry a small purse so expecting five things is just crazy to me. My handbag carries my life, usually. Does yours?

In the first of my pouches, I’ve got some beauty products. Seriously, did you expect anything less? Didn’t think so. I have been loving the Maybelline Nudes palette and I definitely plan on rocking it through the season. A nice bold lip and some Baby Lips. Of course, a powder for touch ups!

More animal print, are you surprised? Probably not. Hairspray, deodorant, hand cream, hair powder (BECAUSE I NEED ALL THE VOLUME) and facial spritz are a few of my favorite things! Doing posts like these (last years Handbag post) always makes me realize that I am seriously an over prepared freak.

Even my nail file is filled with animal print and glitter. Never enough glitter, I swear. Of course, everything else has fun prints including my pen, planner, and camo umbrella! A Mary Poppins bag, I swear.

In my tiny pouch I’ve got some of the absolute essentials. Hand sanitizer because you know what comes with Fall, right? Flu Season. So I’m always keeping the cute Kleenex Slim Packs in my bag to fight that YUCK. My contact case and some hair products to manage this crazy mane. You know what else is there?
