What's in My New Years Eve Bag? My Favorite Evening Clutches Plus What to Bring for a Night Out

So you've got plans for a night on the town on New Year's Eve? Great! The thing is that evening clutch won't hold very much so how do you fit everything you'll need in such a small space? Here's what you'll want to have and how to pack it:





Skinny Minimergency Kit has 22 emergency, beauty, fashion and personal care items packed into a very small, slim space. This is one of the smallest travel kits in the series but very complete. You can add your own little extras like a pouch of aspirin, vitamins, adhesive bandages, etc. or make your own kit and include some or all of the items below.






Cell phone

Leather Mini Wallet with ID, some plastic as well as some cash.

Kent Travel Comb small but mighty! De-tangles extremely well as it is a one piece, polished styling comb. Small and thin, it fits in almost any flat bag or clutch.






Rozge Natural Lip Glosses with Light & Mirror are made from wildcrafted herbs that soothe and protect.  22 beautiful shades, each has a bright light in the cap and a mirror on the side making it perfect for reapplying on the fly...in the dark. Takes the place of having to bring a cosmetic mirror and you'll really appreciate the little light. Another similar cosmetic is from LIT NYC. The Mistletoe Kisses set below contains a lip gloss and nail polish both with a light in the applicator. Available at CVS.



LED LIT 5 Free Nail Polish & Lip Gloss Set available at CVS.

LESEBI Bracelets: Equus Horseshoe Chain Mail and the Mirage with Pearls and Gems.

Another way to take more with you is to stow little essentials in your coat pockets. This could be facial tissues, a lipstick, anything small you might need. Along with your coat, you may want to also keep a large wool or woven scarf with you. A scarf or shawl has a thousand uses and can keep you warm when the evening turns cold and windy.
