Got the right balance! Businesswoman Jessica Alba doesn't compromise style for practicality as she lugs around TWO designer bags to attend meeting
By LEAH SIMPSON
She’s a triple threat star being an actress, mother-of-two and businesswoman.
But Jessica Alba still knows how to look the part as she gets through her extensive to do list on a daily basis.
Despite having to lug two bags around to meetings on Tuesday, the 31-year-old looked great in her ensemble.

Stylish and practical: Jessica Alba carried two bags to a business meeting in West Hollywood, California on Tuesday
She is used to toting a child on each arm, but the parent of four-year-old Honor Marie and one-year-old Haven carried a small grey bag on her shoulder, which matched her tweed coat, and a large red one on her arm to coordinate with her lipstick and nail polish.
At the same time Jessica took a phone call on her mobile device and carried a bottle of water in her other hand to stay hydrated.
She donned dark jeans with a pair of nude heels and sported plenty of bracelets around both wrists.

The brunette wrapped a beige scarf around her neck as she walked around in West Hollywood, California while her offspring were presumably in day care.
She is due to reprise her role as Nancy Callahan in Sin City: A Dame For A Kill later this year, as well as starring in Machete Kills, Escape from Planet Earth and A.C.O.D., but is still keeping busy with running her company.
In January 2012, she and business partner Chris Gavigan launched The Honest Company, a collection of toxin-free household goods, diapers, and body care products.

In March 2012, the screen star announced that she will be releasing a book for 2013, The Honest Life, based on her experiences creating a natural, non-toxic life for her family.
Jessica is married to film producer Cash Warren who posted a snap of the group sharing a family dinner in Santa Monica on Monday night.
The relatives dined at popular restaurant The Lobster and posed in special bibs to ensure their seafood dishes did not ruin their attire.
