I was looking through old posts this morning and thought it was time to do an ‘in my bag’ post; especially since I’m no longer carrying my big blue Comme des Garcons wallet. I know, *gasp*!! I subbed it out for a Jerome Dreyfuss pouch I got from Hampden with their Refinery29 Reserve and so far I’m happy. I needed to pare down a bit (my wallet was getting really heavy) and wanted to try something new. And honestly, even though it’s held up nicely, my large CdG wallet is really beginning to show it’s age – I thought I’d give it a rest for a while. Never fear, though, I still have my trusty butterfly pouch by CdG and a “very black” pouch coming today (also thanks to Refinery29 Reserve, this time via bird). I will always have a little CdG in my bag 😉
Also in my bag:
small elephant print BAGGU bag with stuff to go back to Forever21 in it
Manimal recycled leather necklace turned into a business card case
iPhone
2 lip “things” from my side pocket: Laura Mercier SPF (not very moisturizing IMO) & YSL (I have a zillion others in my makeup pouch and in my wallet pouch)
Usually I also carry my iPad in my bag, but I was using it to take pictures (so I could use Diptic for the AWESOME photo collage). This bag holds A TON and never feels heavy. That’s only one of the trillion things I love about it.
And since I never do this, but I have had it done to me (miss sophie!), I’m tagging some of my blogger friends to show me what’s in THEIR bags. So Sharon, Sydney, Miss Sophie, Elissa, and Linda, you’re IT; show us what’s in your bags!!
And readers, what’s in your bag? How many lip glosses are you carrying RIGHT NOW? (me, just 5)
I love it!!! The “Handbag Throwdown”! Starring Grechen vs. Sharon, Sydney, Miss Sophie, Elissa, and Linda. I love it when magazines feature a story like this, so I’ll be waiting to see what you all carry. For me, it depends upon the size of my bag (which I could take a picture of, but I’m not computer literate enough to know how to post it!). I am currently carrying a 49 Sq Miles lt. brown hobo with pockets and zippers on the front, with my large wallet (Matt and Nat), a Josie Maran plumping lipgloss, a dirty hairbrush, mini kleenex pack for my perpetually runny nose, cell phone, hand sanitizer (after I use the kleenex), NARS blotting papers, sunglasses(old Isaac Mizrahi for Target), reading glasses, tampons, my favorite Bobbi Brown pen and keys. It sounds like a lot more than it really is. I just cleaned out the lipgloss stash, so it’s not too bad.
That Manimal case is adorable! I just posted my edition of “What’s in my bag”. Thanks for including me!
My bag is soooooooooo messy. I will attempt this soon!
Holy crap this is embarrassing! I just counted and I have 22 lipglosses/lip liners/lipsticks in my bag right now. I need an intervention!!
omg!! that’s a lot of lip stuff!!! although i usually do have more than 5…
hey grechen – thanks for the tag! things are kinda crazy right now but will let you know when i do the post 😉
by the way LOVE your new haircut!!!
