Cupcakes and Cashmere

It’s in the Bag

January 31st, 2012

On a slightly more frivolous note from today’s earlier post (thank you for all of your wonderful suggestions), I thought I’d share a few of my essentials I lug around with me on a daily basis. My purse is constantly bursting at the seams, but when I remove all of the receipts, excess change, and random trinkets (I’m not sure who really needs five pens, a pair of flats, three necklaces, and old magazines), it suddenly becomes much more manageable. Not pictured: my camera, for obvious reasons.

1. Valentino wallet/2. iPad + cover/3. Elizabeth and James sunglasses/4. Bright Ideas Notepad + Pen/5. Prada business card holder/6. iPhone + Kate Spade case/7. Trident Splash gum/8. Planet Blue hair ties/9. Kind Almond & Coconut Bar/10. Post-its/11. Headphones/12. Alexander McQueen keychain/13. Band-Aids/14. Forever 21 cosmetic case/15. Products (from left to right): Urban Decay Kohl Liner, Issey Miyake roll-on perfume, Korres lip butter, Time Balm concealer, Nail file, Oribe serum (sample), Nars illuminator, Rosebud Salve, Estee Lauder Lipgloss.

    love this post! I am not sure why people are so interested what it in other people’s purses, but what I am kidding it’s a little peak into someone’s life. I always go through my friend’s closets and makeup bags! so odd, yet so fabulous

    I spy Nars Illuminator in Orgasm! I received this for Christmas last year and have used it perhaps only twice… would love to know how you integrate it into your makeup routine/look. :)
