"Earlier this week, I asked if you consider eyeglasses an accessory opportunity. So let&amp;#39;s take it one step further: I know a lot of you STF are handbag obsessives like me, but what about what&amp;#39;s inside your handbag? Does that count as somewhere to score chic points, too? As I&amp;#39;ve oogled celebs and editors at shows this fashion week, sifting through and unpacking bits of their handbags, I can&amp;#39;t help but notice how their amazing style extends to all of their possessions, and wonder if maybe I should take a few cues from them?\nI&amp;#39;m not usually this detail-oriented (I mean, I feel pretty good about myself just managing to remember my handbag in the first place!) But I&amp;#39;ve been noticing this phenomena particularly much this week, since some shows start way, way later than they&amp;#39;re supposed to&amp;#8212; like this morning, where our formal cover girl Vanessa Hudgens snagged her front row seat at Yigal Azrouel 30 minutes late, and still had time to spare.\nIn the downtime, there&amp;#39;s some pretty awesome people watching (my favorite sport, and this week is basically the Olympics) eyeing the super-fashionable, who have only the contents of their handbag to entertain them. And I&amp;#39;ve noticed a few pretty easy ways they&amp;#39;ve managed to up their handbag chic factor:\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 15: (L-R) Hoda Kotb, Deborah Roberts, Star Jones, Pauletta Pearson and Latanya Richardson attend the Dennis Basso Fall 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Stage at Lincoln Center on February 15, 2011 in New York City.

No, I&amp;#39;m not gonna spring for a diamond-encrusted Chanel anything, but I really wish someone told me there are phone and computer cases that are affordable and adorable. As you can see from these front row ladies at Dennis Basso, clutching your gadgets in your hand &amp;#39;til start time is pretty much standard.\nMini makeup: TGIBD might disagree with me, but no matter what a beauty product says, I still have yet to find one that lasts all day. I&amp;#39;m constantly seeing the front row reapply their products&amp;#8212; and they always seem to pull the cutest things out their bags when doing so.\nPinterestFacebookNEW YORK, NY - FEBRUARY 16: Nylon style director Dani Stahl attends the Yigal Azrouel Fall 2011 fashion show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at The Studio at Lincoln Center on February 16, 2011 in New York City.

Plus, I already have a couple old scarfs I could use to try it out, no shopping needed.\nAdorable pencils and notebooks for jotting down notes: like the tech case logic, if you can find a cute option that&amp;#39;s cheap, why bother buying something safe instead?__\nMore Marc by Marc Jacobs...\nWhile I wouldn&amp;#39;t go out of my way or spend too much money to try these tricks, I can&amp;#39;t help but wonder if an old scarf or a colorful pen might really perk up my purse. I think it&amp;#39;s the element of surprise and unexpected chicness of the little things that really gets me. But what about you?
