Steal That Style: Pint-Size Purses
 |
For many children, poring through the contents of mom’s purse is an exciting adventure. While a stuffed wallet filled with credit cards, receipts and make-up often tend to be far more exciting to a toddler than their own toys, mothers are left with the fun task of wiping off the lipstick marks and picking up the piles of paper off the floor. Fortunately, parents can rest a bit easier when they hand their little one a purse to call their own.
Celebrity parents prove to be no different when it comes to their little princesses toting their pint-size purses. On Monday, Suri Cruise was all about style — in heels and a skirt, clutching her purse — during a stroll down the streets of Boston with her mom Katie Holmes. Back in March, Stella — accompanied by her mom Molly Shannon — made a day out of hitting the shops. From her string of pearls to her petite handbag, Stella easily carried off her sophisticated look. After grabbing a brownie with her dad Adam Sandler, Sadie had not one, but two purses on her arm as she made her way back to the car!
