The other day some of my family was discussing how they would never go through someone’s purse or bag except maybe their mothers to get some money out of it! Lol! It’s an unspoken rule to not dig in someone’s purse or bag just like you would not look in their medicine cabinet. Even if the owner says it is okay to fetch their keys out of their purse, there’s still a reluctance to move forward. The mere fact that it is taboo is why it is fun to read “What’s in my bag” blog posts. I felt it was my turn to share what is in my bag.
I should start by saying, totes are one of my favorite accessories and I switch them up more than I should admit. For this post I am using my new favorite, a champagne colored Michael Kors bag. It has a small latch at the top to keep things from falling out and it has a great side pocket for items like your sunglasses. Here is a peek inside my bag that I am currently carrying.
1.) My notepad from Kate Spade is one of my favorites. Of all the different styles I’ve tried, this is the best one that works for me.
2.) I have two different pouches for carrying different types of essentials. One has all of my cold remedies and prevention. My favorites are Zicam, Emergen-C supplements and Thieves spray. I love the spray, I use it on my hands, in my car and just about anywhere. I admit I am a bit of a germaphobe this time of year! The second pouch is from Katie Loxton and comes in tons of colors. I also carry my mints, hand lotion, lipsticks and Soile Oil for my dry nails! I also found these fabulous lint collectors the last time I was at Anthropology.
3.) I have a really great mirror, it’s a little larger but as my eyes age it is getting harder to see anything! I just picked this one up recently from Brighton.
4.) You will never see me without water or food in my car or bag! You would think that I’m terrified to miss a meal but I am pretty prone to getting hangry if I don’t eat snacks throughout the day! Ask my co-workers and family and they will concur! When I saw these hangry bags from Waiting On Martha they were too cute to pass up!
5.) Another, “don’t leave home without” are my sunglasses and phone. I actually pooled my sunglasses last summer and I think I had around 10 pairs! They are all over my house and my car and for most days I can’t find one! It is very odd but it happens and it kind of reminds me of socks… I just lose them and then they all appear one day in a drawer. Strange.
Because I keep all of these items in my bag, it makes it a little easier for me to run to the office, next appointment or car pool which in turn helps me take on the blogging world! For a look at a couple of the items I keep in arm’s in the summer, check out my post about Gearing Up For The Beach.
