Whether you’re having a low-key New Year’s or pulling out all the stops, chances are you’re going to be toting some around some much-needed essentials no matter what the location. Even on a normal night, “keys, phone, wallet and lip gloss” are a repeated mantra we chant to ourselves until we’re positive we have everything tucked away in our bag or clutch.
Seeing as NYE is a normal night out on crack, you’re going to need to sport everything from phone chargers to (gasp) even an extra pair of panties if that midnight kiss goes a little further than expected (naughty, naughty).
Cruise on through our slideshow of bags to get a handle on what you need to tote to ensure your last hurrah in 2011 looks just as stylish as your first walk of shame in 2012.
