We’ve showed you a list of Christmas frocks and shoes to match, but now the problem is where to put those trinkets that will help us survive all-nighters. Unlike those men who only have to worry about their phones and tiny wallets, we girls have more stuff that needs stashing. This December, our everyday bags simply won’t do so we scoured the malls to find the purses that serve as the perfect companion throughout all the festivities. Hey, even Santa has his own festive sack!
