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!!
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.
All laid out and neat!
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?
xo,
I love these posts! I guess I'm a nosy neat freak too. π Love all of your planners, but girl, your shoulder has to be killing you carrying around so much weight!!
I'm nosy like you are too, so don't worry we can be nosy together! π
You're suuuuper organized which is awesome–love having the little pouch for gift cards and coupons. I need to do that!
I love that you have different pouches for your stuff, so do I! It's just easier!
Xoxo,

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.
These are my favorite posts too!! Even though you carry a lot – I love how organized it is, i need to take some pointers, because my purse can be a little bit of a hot mess sometimes!
i should really remember to bring a tide stick in my bag! i always need one when i dont have it. love the gigi pouch. xo jillian – stop by! I'm hosting a giveaway on cornflake dreams
I have a planner I keep with me at all times- it keeps my life organized!
Also- the Too Face Melted's are amaaaaaazing, no?

I'm nosy too! Your purse is so organized and everything is so beautiful. I need to get my shit together! Love all the notebooks and little pouches. I like to keep a journal in my purse to write down ideas, lists, reminders etc.
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 π
And hand sanitizer for the win…absolute must!
I carry a tide stick wherever I go too! That thing has saved the day more than once! I have a black hole for a purse so little pouches keep me organized!
Ally – Life as I know it
LOVE IT! I should definitely update mine now that Hallie is bigger!
I love that I am not the only one that has multiple pouches for different things. I have a huge one for just lip glosses. It's an addiction really.
I have a million note books too! Always have so many lists to make and things to write down π
Love the Gigi NY pouch! xx
Sharpie fine point pens are my jam! The mini Gigi pouch is a perfect purse bag!
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 π
OMG girl you have so much in your purse! I have like 3 things in there haha! I think I need a bigger bag. Especially if I start taking the train to work, then I'm going to need to bring my iPad with me and it won't fit in my bag now. Still loving your new purse! And I need that planner, so cute!
I think that might be the first blackberry I've seen in about 5 years!! The double ended chapstick is amazeballs, seriously! I'm also totally in love with the blue monogrammed bag!
Dang girl, you fit a lot of stuff in that bag!! Love that tiny little GiGi bag.. too cute π
I love these posts too, it's so fun to peek inside other people's lives this way. You are so organized, a different pouch for each thing is a great idea. I may need to start doing that myself.

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!
We have similar things in our purses and I think I'm going to do a post like this really soon!
I am now officially obsessed with those pouches! I do the same thing with my make-up, etc.
ps- that is my goal too before Andi comes is to pick out a good camera. Keep me posted on your findings! xo
I love taking a peek inside other girl's purses and bags! 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 π I keep my lip glosses in their own pouch and my nail polish in its own, gotta prevent spills!
I like these posts too hehe. Love an organized purse! You sure do carry a lot in there too haha. That bag is so pretty too, love the color. Maybe I'll do a post like this too. π Hope that you're having a fab day so far too!!!
too cute. i am obsessedddddd with those sharpie pens and always buy my own for work. also have that kate spade planner! although i never use it. only my electronic planner. such a nerd/bad blogger. you're organized and i love it π switching new purses is always a great way to get even more organized! xo

Oh love this post idea, I may have to steal it! π I love that you have so many different planners and notebooks, and all of your different pouches for makeup and change and such, I'm the same way!
Great post idea, thanks for sharing! π

LOVE these posts! You're a girl after my own heart with all the planners/notebooks that you carry around with you. π I'm so glad that you picked up the ChapStick! Are you liking it?
That Kindle case!! Where'd you get it?!? I love how organized your purse is. I have to dig to the bottom of mine just to retrieve my phone/ keys.
Different pouches are a must! Your bag is much more organized than ours though, haha. A new bag with more side pockets needs to happen sooner than later. xo
I thought I had a lot in MY purse! π
I have got to get some more small pouches. I love that you do these posts because I am extremely nosy and always want to know what people are carrying around with them all day!
Good idea to put everything in pouches! I've been wanting to try those Melted lipsticks too!

I love those sharpie pens, I have a few sets and just bought s few more when they were on sale at Target. This was my first time getting a Kate Spade Planner (we have the same one!) and I love it!
I love love love when people post what they have in their bag. I feel like it is so intimate. Like I am spying. Haha! I need a business card holder! Yours is super cute!
Girl, I'm obsessed with those Sharpie pens too, love them! I keep things in pouches as well, makes my neat freak heart happy π
How do you fit all of that in your purse haha! You're so prepared! I have that same planner! I love it!

I am just like you so nosey to see what is in everyone's bags!
I love these types of posts! I always have to have a planner in my purse. I don't know why, but I can't fully adopt to digital calendars.
Us women are amazing…we can cram so much stuff into one bag that no one would think is possible!!!
I know have 3 bags for work everyday. My purse, workbag and lunch bag…..it's a problem. I really try to consolidate but it just keeps growing! I love my gift card pouch it seriously makes me very happy to think of all the possibilities π
So in love with all of those pouches, our purses are a little more out of control lol (totally jelly of your Louis wallet btw) π

Love all your different pouches for organization! I am the same way, I like everything to have a place to go so I can find it easily!

I love all of your little bags and notebooks! Gorgeous!!
Those Sharpies are the best, and I always have a stash of them in my bag too! You never know when you'll need to jot something down in the planner or blogging notebook, and of course, everything looks prettier written in those pens π
I love your KS planner! I just stocked up on a ton of notebooks from target. One for the blog, confetti and hearts and a few to jot down ideas!
I've just found your blog and I think it's really inspiring, it will be an honor for me if you can visit mine too, and if you want to follow, it will be a pleasure to follow you back! π <3

What's in yours is similar to what's in mine! Love all of the contents — so cute!

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.
And if you want a camera recommendation I love my Canon Rebel T2i!
wow!! that is a lot to carry around with you! I am impressed!! It is all very organized though, which i admire/respect!
I pared way down in the past year. I have a small pouch wallet, phone, gum, train pass, work keys, car keys, sunglasses, lip stuff pouch, wet wipes, tissues, pen and notepad, sometimes my real camera.
You are so organized with all your different pouches for everything! I don't carry quite that much stuff, but it's all just haphazardly thrown into the abyss that is my purse. Aren't those Sharpie pens just the best?!
Totally planning on doing one of these soon (never have!). Love how organized you are. I spy the GiGi pouch and also the tassel key ring (love mine too!).
My bag looks exactly like that! I feel like Mary Poppins because I'm always pulling out the most random stuff out of it. You would love our makeup bag post that we shared on the blog! Check it out.
xo, Melissa

Literally what would we do if we did not have purses?!? You seem much more organized then me, mine is full of paper and old receipts! Such a fun post.

You look both well organized and well prepared! I'm constantly switching bags and tossing things from one to the other, always digging for what I need!
you are so much more organised than me!!
i have the same kate spade planner! i use it for everything, except for tracking my workouts which i do with a smaller diary notebook thingy. i really like your idea of the pouch for the receipts and such – thats how my bag gets super messy, super fast! i have tried keeping it neat and tidy but it always ends up messy and full of crap and i kinda like cleaning it out.
double duty Chapstick?! i need that in my life.
Your purse looks just like mine with all of the smaller bags and pouches π
Great post!

I need that Kate Spade planner and blue and gold pouch in my life now!
Yes the Tide pen is a must for me since I'm a clutz and I also couldn't live without my planner.
I had to switch to a smaller purse otherwise I carry my life in it and somehow can't find anything either LOL #thestruggleisreal
Seriously impressed with how neat and organized you are! My handbag is exploding with animal crackers, juice boxes and wet wipes lol! Love your striped Kate Spade planner and your classic LV wallet π

I always love these posts. What kind of bag do you have? I love how everything has its own spot.
These are my favorites it's too! I either always find some new product or item I have to try, or just learn tips and tricks. Plus I just like knowing what's in other people's bags because #nosy.

love your LV wallet and that pretty blogging notebook!
i love this type of posts !! π
please follow me π COLORFUL THOUGHTS
I love posts like this, I am such a snoop and love going through people's purses. I always find items and products I have to have afterwards, ha! Love all you goodies in your bag π
I love these posts! I am so nosy and these totally fill that nosiness void! I love pouches for my bags – the easiest way to organize!
Nosy and purse-obsessed, checking in! Hah. Love all your pretty things! I totally keep a Tide pen in my bag too. Everyone always teases me for it but whenever they spill, they allllll come running to me! π
How fun! You carry a lot…but so do I! I keep saying I need to take stuff out so I don't hurt my back/neck :-p One of my must-haves is my essential oils. I have a little makeup bag that holds them and I use them DAILY!
I love that GiGi pouch! My bag is totally overflowing with stuff – I'm so bad about cleaning it out! My musts are always a bunch of lip balms and glosses, I can never have enough (or be without!). xoxo, – M @ The Sequin Notebook
I love posts like this! Your monogrammed pouch is so cute and I probably carry about the same amount of essentials with me everyday too π

I love your GIGI so cute and a great must have essential. I wish my bag was so organized. I really need to clean out!

I LOVE seeing what people have in their bags. I carry around a whole lot of paper rubbish and lip products tha tI don't use! Ha.
The purple and green notebook is adorable.

A notebook for blogging? Genius idea!! I just use the "notes" section in my phone, but I need to get a notebook asap!
You seriously do carry around SO much! What a shoulder workout π Since having Mia, I try to carry the bare necessities just because I grew to hate the diaper bag. I hated having to lug around so much crap… plus Mia LOVES to empty bags and find new "toys" for her to get into π ha ha! So now that we have finally phased out of the diaper bag, I try to carry as little as possible!
I love these kind of posts! I'm gonna have to look into getting a Tide pen. If it works, I'm thinking it could end up being a must have.
I have to keep hand sanitizer with me at all times for commuting! Your bag is very organized π

I am inspired to get cases for my make-up, rather than opting for the ever so classy ziplock bags! Your purse is so organized! Thank you for sharing!
Oh how I love being a girl and having a million things in my purse! π
Fun post, thanks for sharing!
Anyhoo, I found your blog through a fellow blogger, and just thought I would stop by and say hi! It would totally make my day if you did the same… or better yet, keep in touch!! <3 – domesticgeekgirl.com
i might have just shouted my enthusiasm for the kate spade planner! i love ks!! i have a gigi business card holder–i clearly need some initials on there! and the too faced is going to be on the blog tomorrow if i have time to blog on it!
I keep pouches, too! Makes life so much easier!
I love bags with lots of pockets. Keeps things so nice and neat. You are so organized.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who carries everything but the kitchen sink {as Cory puts it} in my purse! You never know what you are gonna need. Unlike you though, mine is a jumbled up mess! I need to take note of your organization!
Your so organized! I've never really broke down what I have in my purse… I bet it's a scary sight! haha! π I do carry a lot of stuff in there but I also always forget about what I really have in there! π
