Plain and simple: That’s what Luann de Lesseps aims for in her bag of choice. “I’m practical,” the star of Bravo’s Real Housewives of New York City (Wednesdays, 9 p.m.) says of her Michael Kors crossbody. “I like things that are easy so I don’t have to change my bag a lot.”
The former countess, 53, spills the tea on her everyday essentials.
Read Her Lips
“I wear a lot of Chanel lipsticks. Not wearing lipstick is like going out without eyebrows. I mean, you have to have your lips on.”
Moment of Zen
“I’m reading Perfectly Yourself by Matthew Kelly. I love it. It’s all about being the best version of yourself that you can be. I love books like that right now, uplifting and spiritual.”

Making a Spectacle
“I can’t live without my Foster Grant glasses. Once fortysomething hits, the eyes start going. I should make my own glasses. Though I think [Real Housewives of Atlanta’s] Cynthia Bailey has that covered [with her eyewear line].”
What a Gem
“I carry a clear crystal for good energy. I was given it at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in The Berkshires.”
Get Odor It
“I love matches. Everyone should carry matches for, you know, when you’re a guest at somebody’s house. It’s true.”
What else is inside Lusseps’ bag?
