Anya Hindmarch Lips and Eyes Make-up Bag
There's nothing worse than scrabbling around for bits of make-up at the very bottom of a huge bag during Paris Fashion Week or at any other time. So, Anya Hindmarch has come to the rescue with a natty little make-up bag handily titled 'lips and eyes'. The super-cute design is also completely practical and is the perfect size for all the essentials. It's made from beige canvas, which is easy to wash and comes with a top zip fastening, leather tassel and designer-stamped lining.

Dolce & Gabbana Lipstick
If there's one thing that makes day to night styling on the road a little more effortless, it's lipstick. Dolce & Gabbana do a particularly startling hue of pillar box red in the name of 'Iconic'. Its rich texture means it stays on for hours, so you can turn up the volume in the glamour stakes and party all night.

Lanvin Umbrella
After a somewhat dreary start to autumn on the weather front, a good umbrella is a true fashion week/city break handbag staple. Forget passing fads of polka dots and stripes, this well-made chic black gem is all you'll need. Although a little pricier than its counterparts, the sturdy wooden handle means it wont be turning inside out at every gust of wind and will keep you dry in style. Plus, it'll be as good as new for years to come, putting a stop to having to bin endless cheap, broken umbrellas much more sustainable.

Covering a multitude of sins and far too many late nights, you shouldnt leave the house without a pair.
