The blue leather "Michelle" satchel will retail for $545 and is available for pre-order now at botkier.com. It will also be sold on ShopBop in the next couple of weeks.

A portion of the proceeds from the bag's sales is going to Oxfam.org, a charity that helps fight worldwide poverty.

It is imperative to have a pack of Clean&Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets on me. Nothing makes my skin happier during those shiny, slick times so many of us are plagued with!

That's easy, wet wipes. Nothing takes a stain out better. I am the go-to girl every night out because someone always spills something and wet ones will get the stain out better than a Tide to Go pen any day of the week. Not to mention, they can clean your hands, cool you down on a hot day, wipe up spilled coffee in the car, clean mud off your gorgeous new shoes, wipe your sweaty brow if you're stopping at the store on your way home from a run, the list is endless.

Besides the fact that a beautiful Handbag says it all, a woman should always have potty money. Potty money is a few dollars just in case! The old phrase is true, "there is nothing money can't buy"

My 2 must haves- Burts Bees honey lip balm, best there is, always leaves my lips soft for hours, and Bare Escentuals Butter Pecan lipstick. A perfect neutral shade that gives just the right amount of color for anything I wear.

I have to have two - a mini note pad for jotting down ideas, sketches, or lists... and secondly is a travel size Evian Brumisateur for mid day facial pick-me-up! Perfect for an easy dewy look, and mini stress reliever!
