Nicole Richie has the most genius purse-organizing hack
We all know that feeling. You’re tearing through your handbag, searching for your keys, your wallet, your phone, and all you wind up with is a heap of frayed tissues and a leaking, icky lip gloss.
Nicole Richie, style icon, founder of the lifestyle brand Honey Minx, mother of two has been there. And then some.
“I, like a lot of women, always tend to have anything I might need during the day in my bag,” says Richie. “From jewelry to sunglasses, hand lotions, to tea bags and reusable cups and being the Virgo that I am, I need organization in my life.”
So Richie took matters into her own hands, so to speak.

To keep track of her never-ending purse stuffers, Richie created a series of smaller bags for Honey Minx — shown in the video above — which she fills with various essentials and then tosses into her larger purse.
“My phone is out, and I have my keys out. That’s fine. Then I have a bag for anything, especially if I’m traveling, any sort of cords, any chargers, electronics, and anything like that, I have that bag. Then I have a self-care bag for my essential oils and hand lotion, along with a bag for my jewelry, too.

She’s on the go all day, heading from work meetings to school pickups, to dinner. Being that organized, especially when you’re a busy working parent, is “the best, most exhilarating feeling. It really is,” says Richie.
Richie’s fabulous scarves — she admits to having to have one on her at all times — have their own little pouch to call home and if she’s traveling, her PJs and pillowcases go into a “really nice and beautiful” bag to keep them fresh and cute.

“I just like feeling organized, and I like feeling like my bag is clean,” she says.
