find your keys faster

here's a quick tip i picked up from my friend nicole. when you're looking through your purse in an attempt to find your keys; try and sport a purse with a light interior. a purse with a dark or black interior tends to "hide" keys while a purse with a white interior will help spotlight keys and other hard to find items.

this is awesome!

one of my container store field trip attendees offered up a great idea for hanging purses when you're in a bathroom stall. because not all stalls are created equal (meaning they don't all have a hook for your purse) why not carry around a teeny little S hook? when you gotta go and you don't want the bottom of  your purse to pick up all those nasty germs, hook up the S hook with your purse on the other end--genius!
