What’s In My Bag


Since I just recently switched out my every day purse, I thought I’d do an updated “What’s In My Bag.” These are probably some of my favorite posts to read because I guess you could say I’m a bit nosy! I love to see what everyone carries with them on a daily basis and I’ll admit I tend to over load my purse as I do when I pack for a trip!!  I did a “What’s In My Bag” post back in April and I think I have added way more to the bag!! Oops…Side Note: I am currently on the hunt for a “big girl camera” so the picture quality will be improving soon!! 

Whats In My Bag


What drew me to this bag, aside from the color, was that it had a zippered pocket and two side pockets for easy access – everything else has it’s own spot.

What's In My Bag


All laid out and neat! 

What's In My Bag


1//My beloved Sharpie Fine Point Pens – I actually have an entire set, but only keep two in my purse


2//I have an obscene amount of notebooks and journals, but this one is for my wedding planning business (From PaperSource)


3// Kindle – currently reading this


4// May BookBlogging notebook 


5// Kate Spade Planner


6// Louis Vuitton Wallet  

You’ll notice I have three different pouches. The blue GiGi NY one holds my lip glosses and extra mascara (I sometimes forget to put it on before I leave the house), the snakeskin pouch holds all my gift cards, receipts & headphones and the multi-colored one holds my change. After ordering my blog business cards, I found this super cute case from Francisca’s. New to my bag and in their own side pocket are the Too Faced Melted Lipstick in Neutral Nude and double duty Chapstick thank’s to Karly’s recommendation! That fancy Bold BlackBerry – that’s for work…always connected haha! Tissues and hand sanitizer are a must for commuting! Also a must, my tide-to-go pen, I’m a bit of a klutz when it comes to food! 




So there you have it, all my daily musts! What are your must haves in your purse?

    I have never done a what's in my bag post, I need to keep that on the list because I always like reading them from others! I love how you have so many planners and notebooks that you keep with you. And all your bags for different items to stay organized! Sometimes my purse becomes a black hole so I try to do the same or have a purse that has several sections.

    Love your planner, so pretty! And I thought I was the only one who had 2-3 pouches in their purse. I also use one fo coupons and gift cards and another one for my ear buds and cell phone charger. I used to just have everything scattered and it was a mess πŸ˜›

    And hand sanitizer for the win…absolute must!

    You're like a celebrity. Doesn't Us Weekly or some other celeb gossip magazine do that? I always love to see what others have in their bag and yours is so organized! That's one thing that as soon as I get it organized, it gets unorganized before I can do anything about it! Happy Tuesday, Love!

    I'm still so obsessed with that bag! And you can fit a lot in it, without it looking over stuffed. I am definitely going to look for a little pouch to keep receipts- that's such a good idea! I can't wait for a review on the DVF book πŸ™‚

    Your purse looks how mine used to! I bought a smaller purse at Christmas and it has made all of the difference. I can only carry the things that I absolutely have to have each day and it's awesome. Can you download the kindle app on your phone? That's how I keep my books on hand when I'm on the go on a regular day… the kindle comes out at home & on vacations/long car rides. Good luck on your hunt for a big girl camera!

I should do one of these posts when I switch everything over to a different purse next time, which now has me thinking about making a stop at TJ Maxx tonight just to see if they have anything new that I cannot live without πŸ™‚ I keep my lip glosses in their own pouch and my nail polish in its own, gotta prevent spills!

    I have to say, that is a lot to carry. I used to have a larger purse, but when I started carrying a diaper bag I learned to need less, so now my purse is pretty small. Love the idea of a pouch for headphones and receipts.
