What’s in Erin Lichy’s Bottega Veneta Clutch? Makeup, Jewelry and More

Erin Lichy has great taste when it comes to bags.

The Real Housewives of New York City star, 38, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about everything she keeps in her Bottega Veneta clutch while promoting her debut book, She’s a Host: An Unbuttoned Cookbook for Elegant Entertaining, released by DK publishing on Tuesday, October 28.

“Normally I have a bigger bag, but today I wanted to wear my clutch,” she explained to Us.

“I have no recollection of where I bought it, somewhere online,” Lichy reminisced. “I love it because it’s actually quite large, like, it looks small, but it’s very big, and you can fit so much in it and it goes with everything.”

Inside her clutch, Lichy came prepared for everything she needed throughout the day: makeup, glasses and her wallet.

Book

Although she didn’t have room inside of her clutch to store a copy of her She’s a Host: An Unbuttoned Cookbook for Elegant Entertaining, Lichy still took it with her. “I’m just carrying it around, which is kind of annoying, but it’s fine,” she told Us.

Phone

Attached to her phone, Lichy had an Octobuddy to attach it to surfaces. She shared that one of her daughters gave it to her. (Erin shares kids Levi, 9, Layla, 7, Elijah, 4, and Jack, whom she welcomed in March, now 7 months, with husband Abe Lichy.)

Makeup Bag

“I have my makeup case, this Bottega Veneta makeup case that Abe actually got me for Mother’s Day one year,” Erin gushed, noting that the gift was “really nice.”

Makeup

Inside of her makeup bag, Erin carries a highlighter, a cream blush from L’Oreal, brown mascara by Tower 28, a lip liner and a Lawless lipstick in the shade Fawn.

Glasses

“My glasses are Celine,” she said. “I’m really into them. I feel like they’re a new shape [which I] haven’t, like, seen often.”

Wallet

Attached to her wallet, Erin stores her headphones, which she said she can “never find.” Inside her wallet, she has her AmEx card and other gift cards to Ulta Beauty. Erin explained to us that she normally relies on her digital wallet inside of her physical cards.

Necklace

“I don’t even know [why] this was in here, but it’s a really cute one,” she said while pulling the jewelry out from her clutch.

Alcohol

“I don’t carry around booze in my clutch, but I should,” Lichy joked to Us, pulling out a small bottle. “I’m gonna look like an alcoholic,” she quipped.

Keys

“This is actually for my old apartment,” she told Us, laughing that she should “get rid” of the key and Fob.

Wristlet

“I just throw it in my bag all the time,” she said all the time of the green bracelet, noting she got it at Bloomingdales when she was pregnant.
