Need HELP!! I am sick of collecting all of my mommy things out of the mommy pocket every time I change bags or go somewhere w/out the diaper bag.

I'm looking for something that can hold my:
-wallet stuff (few cards, cash not folded)
-slim cell phone (razr)
-keys
-lip gloss tube
-and maybe a nail file

I really don't carry THAT much for myself, I just want to keep it together. I would not use an over the shoulder strap. I might use a wrist strap. I wouldn't mind just holding it like a clutch. It would be a bonus if it was cute or a little funky, but honestly looks are not priority here!

I received my small Purz-nizer today and am really bummed out. I do not like it at all. It's quite big, the fabric is stiff and rough and the outside mesh pockets are horrible. I'm really disappointed :( I've seen and like the VB wristlet, it's a nice size but not quite enough organization for my wallet stuff.

Please, bring on any suggestions :)
Thanks!!!!

I don't know what your price range is, but I have a Coach Demi, its like a wristlett on steriods, lol! I carry a small wallet, a lipstick or 2, cell, and my nasel spray, with some extra room for papers, etc. The strap can convert to a wristlett style from the normal purse handle. The strap has a clip at one end, clip it on the other end if the purse, you have a reg handle, clip it on the same end it starts, you have a wristlett. I bought a 'gently used' on ebay, she must have hardly used it, it was in excellent condition.

Good luck in your search!

Have you seen the fanci free wristlets? if you search you can find a post on it here. it looks like it might work. i'm thinking of ordering one, and they are only $15.
HTH!

I've been using these two; both will hold everything you list. The Baggallini would also hold a small camera and Kleenex pack. The Baggallini has awesome organization, it's just not very stylish.

There's also the Baggallini Teeny Bag if you want to go smaller - not sure, but I think it will hold what you list:

You should definitely look at the Accessories and Mini Bags from Lesportsac:

You can also check the store locator for the factory stores. They will ship.

I just recently got a wristlet by Angela Liu (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=3115). I've always wanted to buy something of hers since she uses the nicest fabrics. so, when I saw she had wristlets, I bought one. There is no internal organization so I bought a mini-wallet (Mundi, I think) for my credit cards and cash. (But I haven't started using it yet.)

I also have Angela Liu wristlets (2 actually), and I also got a mini-wallet from Wal-Mart for $5 which holds my cash and credit cards.

I second the Angela Liu suggestion, her wristlets are adorable! So much that I ordered a bag to match one...but that's another story.

Pam, do you have one of the LeSportsac mini bags? I've been looking at the Kasey and the Sallie.

No, I don't. Looking at the pics, I think the Sallie would have much better access. Unfortunately, I have never seen these in person. There aren't any stores around here that carry a variety so I see the same few bags all over town.

I just got a wristlet at American Eagle for $10. It has a little pocket for cards and has a zipper closure. I can fit my Treo, keys, a small wallet, chapstick, and lipstick.

Let me know if you'd like pictures.

Wow, thank you so much for all of the great ideas!

I ended up ordering a one of those baggalini wallet bags from ebags. I got the nylon version so I was at least able to get a pretty color (turquoise). I just couldn't resist the organization.

It should be here any day, I'll be sure to post a review and if it doesn't work for me at least now I have some other ideas :)
