We all know the power of the perfect handbag. You know, the one that fits every outfit, occasion and essential. We know that your beautiful leather clutch can’t double as Fido’s travel bag (he gets his own, obvi) and a crossbody may not hold enough ice cream and wine required to cheer your bestie after a bad break up. Enter: Our latest blog series. Each month, we select and assemble a bag that caters to a situation you’re bound to find yourself.

The holidays are a time filled with cooking, shopping and plenty of get-togethers. With such a large social circle, you’re sure to have a handful of dinner parties on the calendar for the next two months. Although you’re a little relieved you’re not hosting this time around, the planner in you is already figuring out what you need to bring to guarantee a successful evening. We recommend packing the essentials for a dinner party in our Small Avery Tote. The chic, quilted leather exterior will dress up your sweater dress and fit everything you need. Plus, it has a secret slip pocket on the back for your phone, if the night drags on and you need to make a quick escape. So what exactly are the dinner party essentials? For a successful evening, you’ll need to bring five things.
1. Wristlet. A chic wristlet is a must in any bag. We love the RFID Grab & Go Wristlet since it doubles as a wallet for everyday and a clutch for nights out. You never know where the evening may take you, and some post-dinner drinks at the martini bar downtown may be just what your squad needs.
2. Lipstick. When you switch over to the tote, don’t forget to switch over your favorite lipstick! You’ll want to reapply before the group photo (hello, new profile picture) and after dinner.
3. Mints.This should be a given, but mints are the one thing you won’t want to forget. You’ll thank us when the menu contains onions, oysters, fish, garlic or broccoli. Bring the whole tin because it’s always nice to be the girl who brings the mints when everyone else forgets.
4. Snack. In the event that your vegan diet or your food allergies limit you from eating a full meal, come prepared. Pack a snack or two to hold you over if you don’t get your fill from dinner alone. Spare the hostess’ feelings by slipping into the restroom to quickly eat your granola bar.
5. Wine. A good guest never arrives empty handed. Pick up the hostess’ favorite bottle of wine (neatly topped with a ribbon) as a small gift of appreciation for the invitation. She would never expect anything in return, so we’re sure she’ll be delighted with the thoughtful token of appreciation.
It’s still feeling like fall outside – if your weekend plans include a game day tailgate, you’ll need the perfect tailgating bag.
