Just a Minute: Coin Purse

Holiday lines are long and once you've lugged your kids to the counter, the last thing you need is to fumble for your wallet.

Holiday lines are long and once you've lugged your kids to the counter, the last thing you need is to fumble for your wallet.

Since I usually have my son on my hip and my daughter by my side, I traded my big, bulky wallet for a snap-closure coin purse. It's just the right size to fit the essentials — my ATM and credit cards, spare change, and cash. And, I can open it with one hand in a pinch.

Simply Fab: American Apparel Lamé Coin Purse

Sometimes when I go out I don't want to carry around a bag, or even a clutch.

Sometimes when I go out I don't want to carry around a bag, or even a clutch. 'Tis true. Especially if I'm just taking Annabelle for a stroll. I love this American Apparel lamé coin purse, $8, because it has a key ring to hold your house key plus a pouch to hold your I.D. and some money (and maybe even a lip gloss). And, it comes in these great metallic shades, that are totally hot for a night out. Okay, I'll be honest: I think it's totally appropriate for day, too. Just because it's that Fab.

Get in Gear: Nike Gym Bags

I need a new gym bag.

I need a new gym bag. Mine are just not cutting it these days, they are either too big or too small so I need something in the middle. In my search I came across some cute Nike bags that I think are definitely worth sharing.


The Lima No-Flap Bag ($35.00) is a bit smaller (14" x 12" x 3") but will still get the job done. This bag has a zippered large main compartment, exterior side and end pockets for additional storage and a removable coin purse, which would be a perfect place for your gym membership card and bus pass. You can buy it from Dick's Sporting Goods.

Too small for all your stuff? There's a larger bag too so read more
