What's in My Bag?

January 12, 2013

Hey guys!

Time for a What’s in My Bag post! I’ve seen some YouTubers do this tag and I’ve thought of doing one but I haven’t because I usually carry around a backpack rather than a purse. I only use purses on the weekend when I’m shopping or walking around downtown with my friends. But Valerie from Scibbles of Valerie (click here to open up her blog!) convinced me to do one, so here we go!

Like I said, I don't usually carry a handbag around, so today before I went to brunch with my friends, I took out what I needed from my backpack and that’s why my handbag is pretty organized. But rest assured, during the summer when I don’t have school, it gets pretty messed up in there.

I have a Kate Spade “Cobble Hill – Little Minka” satchel. I’m a crossbody-bag kind of girl, so I really like that there’s a long strap attached to the bag with which to do this.

Love the longer strap!

The bag has this really classy black and white striped fabric on the inside and is all leather on the outside, and it’s also got a flap that zips up at the top and is a pocket that reaches all the way to the bottom of the bag! 

I usually keep my wallet and phone in this pocket, zip it
up and flap it over so that they can't be pick-pocketed easily!

I got it in black because it’s timeless and goes with everything. Mine’s from Nordstrom, where they packed it up in a beautiful Kate Spade dust cover and boxed it in a huge silver box. I'm very happy that I didn’t get the snakeskin print one because at the time it was $398 and now two months later it’s already been reduced to $199. Whereas the black one is still at $378, what I paid for it two months ago! But I still really want the snakeskin one and now that it’s on sale…

What do you think? Do I really need another?

Anyway, this is what my bag looks like with the flap unflapped:

I like to keep all of my things in little cosmetic bags:

All of my stuff!
Notice the half-used pack of tissues on the right?

I like to use the iPhone earphones because I feel like they are the most comfortable ones out there. I also have Dr. Dre Monster iBeats earbuds, and the sound quality of those are like no other, but they are uncomfortable in the ear. So I pretty much always use my iPhone earbuds. I have the iPhone 5 earbuds though and they're not as good as the iPhone 4S ones in my opinion...

Spilling out!

In this Target + Neiman Marcus Carolina Herrera cosmetics bag I have (from left to right, top to bottom):

- Bath & Body Works Be Enchanted travel sized body lotion;
- LORAC Croc Palette;
- Philosophy Pink Frosted Animal Cracker lip shine;
- Korres Lip Butter in Plum;
- Maybelline Dream Matte Pressed Powder in Beige Medium;
- TokyoMilk Sugar Sugar solid perfume;
- A yellow telephone cord ponytail holder.
- Lioele Blooming Gloss in #2 Flower Pink;
- A Goody No-Slip ponytail holder;
- Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect lip balm.

Kate Spade "Classic" Sunglasses in Black.
Look at the eyes at the bottom of the case!

Classic.

I wear my sunglasses every day, even when the sun's not directly out, because at least 80% of the sun's rays are still shining through on cloudy days and I want to protect my eyes and the sensitive skin around my eyes!

Prada Quilted Saffiano Flap Wallet

Fits everything I need it to.

So many card slots!
Just look at that beautiful stitching. Love.

My baby: My Prada Quilted Saffiano Flap Wallet. This is probably my most expensive fashion item I’ve ever owned and I am deathly afraid of losing it one day. It is made of the most beautiful quilted leather and the stitching is impeccable. Everything about it is just amazing. I keep my credit card, debit card, library card, and cash in it. I’m pretty sure that white card is an American Eagle coupon.

Other cosmetic bag

Yummmm, LUNA bars!

I got this cosmetic bag from Bendel’s. In it I have gum (the orange one is citrus, which I don’t like), cough drops because I have a cold right now, feminine wipes (just in case), and LUNA bars because I’m always hungry at the weirdest times and these work amazingly at curbing hunger.

Javier!

And this is my Marc by Marc Jacobs iPhone cover on my 4S. Apparently Marc Jacobs has named him “Javier the Owl”. Ok then. I just like it cuz it’s cute and sturdy and looks good against the white phone.

So there you have it! My What’s in My Bag post! OK, not very interesting, but that’s because I don’t use my purse that often.

I would love to see what’s in your bag (in a totally non-creepy way), so leave me a comment and link me to your blog or video!

Thanks for reading!
