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 the iphone cover. I saw that one at Nordstrom a couple months ago, wish I got it instead of the rubbery Kate Spade one! Grrr..

Thank you for sharing! I always think looking into someones bag is like have a sneak peek into their house. I really like the Reed Krakoff handbag. I haven’t managed to find them in the UK….not that I’ve been looking that hard! I want to see how easy they are to carry and how I cram in there. Would be great if you could do a review of the handbag on your blog…I’m sure your other readers would love.

No worries, Emily, I too carry my life around with me every day. And I’m always reassured to know that there are in fact other people who carry around Post-It notes. Thank goodness.

I love all of your sunglasses! I also have a similar obsession. They are the best accessory.

First, I love that bag! And most of you essentials are similar to mine. I try to plan out my bag contents strictly based on where i’m going, I feel like so many girls just add and add things to their handbags before they’re completely overloading and way to heavy to carry around. If you’ve got the real essentials: keys, phone, compact, lip gloss, and whatever little things you may need for whatever day you have planned, you’ll be set. No need to bog yourself down with to much stuff that you know you really won’t even use.
