What's in my bag?


Hello and happy Easter! I've been wanting to do a "what's in my bag?" post for some time now, but just haven't gotten around to it until now. I pretty much only use small purses because I never need to carry around too much stuff, but I like these posts regardless. I think it's kind of a fun insight into bloggers' daily lives. Also, this was taken with my new camera! It came in yesterday and I have no idea how to use it other than on auto at this point really, but I'm insanely excited to learn.

1. Thrifted purse- This purse has made quite a few appearances on my blog and it's by far one of my favorites. I snagged this at a thrift store in the fall for about $4 if I'm remembering correctly and I can't get enough of the shape and size. Plus, the color goes with everything.

2. Urban Outfitters wallet- I got this wallet for Christmas from my parents after I put it on my list. I never thought I would be so in love with a wallet of all things, but this one is too pretty. Is it weird to look forward to taking my wallet out whenever I have to pay for something?

3. A pen- I pretty much always have a pen on me. It's part journalistic duty and part convenience. It seems as though I'm always in need of one.

4. H&M sunglasses- These are the sunglasses I picked up at the mall last month and they're the best. After I lost my Ray-Bans over the summer, I went without a pair for months since I couldn't find a pair that I liked. When I came across these, it was like kismet. Now, I feel the need to wear them almost every time I'm outside.

5. Gum- I always have gum on me. Always. Orbit wintermint is my favorite.

6. iPhone 4- I only got an iPhone last August, but I already can't remember what life was like before it. I'm one of those annoying people who can't be without it for more than a second. I found this mint and white case at Nordstrom on sale over winter break and it's perfect. 

7. Digital recorder- Working for a newspaper means conducting lots of interviews and always being ready in case of a story. I usually delegate and let one of the editors on my staff take big stories when they come up, but I always like to have a recorder on me just in case.

I know that I don't carry around anything too exciting, but I hope it was at least a little fun to read. Also, I realized that I forgot to include my keys in the picture. Oops.

  3. It is always so fun to see what people have in their bag. Interesting what you need to keep on you as a reporter too; do you usually also have paper with you?

  5. I actually love these posts, I want to do one but I usually have a purse/backpack that changes daily, and I don't think everyone wants to see that! Maybe I can stage some sort of "ideal" purse, although that's not really the point is it? If I did mine, I would totally have to lie, because I carry a lot of stuff around with me (Hunter gives me the hardest time, and yet, there have been so many times I've come in the clutch) I just really like being prepared! Anyway, liked seeing what you have in your purse, and is that a bedspread I spy?

  6. agh I've been meaning to do one of these for the longest time! I did a packing one for my weekend trips when I studied abroad but there's something about all the random day to day stuff that I carry around with me that makes this a little bit unique. :] love all your cute stuff!
