What's in My Bag

I don't believe I've ever done a "What's in My Bag" post before, but I just got a new purse, and I think it deserves such a post.  I recently fell in total love with a Rusty Cuts backpack purse, and then I justified buying it because it "freed my hands" for shopping with baby.  Sometimes baby is the perfect excuse.  ;))

(Click to Enlarge)

1.  Wallet-- That one's pretty obvious.
2.  Gum-- I always try to carry gum with me.  There's nothing worse than coffee breath!
3.  Business Cards-- I keep a stack of business cards in this 
little pouch for all of those networking opportunities.
4.  Phone-- Also a no-brainer.
5.  Kid's chopsticks-- We eat A LOT of Asian food and Hope has a really hard time with the chopsticks, so we got these kid friendly chopsticks and now everything's grand!
6.  Tattoo Goo-- I always keep a little tin of this on me.  It's so great for 
brightening up the ol' elbow hearts whenever I need it.
7.  Lip Gloss-- Lip gloss or chapstick is always a must for me.  I never leave home without one of the two.
8.  Vintage Scarf-- Keeping a scarf in your purse for those not-so-great hairdays, or the extra windy ones is a must for me!
9.  Glasses-- I have stopped wearing contacts for the time being, so I carry around glasses everywhere I go.
10.  Mirror-- A mirror is a necessity.  Also, it's a great crying baby distraction.  ;)
11.  Coin Purse-- I actually only carry bobbypins in this little pouch.  They are so handy to have, and get lost if they just float around in a purse.


I hope you enjoyed my first "What's in My Bag" post!  I'm a little curious, if you could only carry one thing in your purse, what is your most important item (excluding wallet & phone)?
xoxo Katie

    Hmm...Lipgloss! I get really uncomfortable if my lips get dry and I like to have a selection available at all times!

    So, so cute! I hear you on the hands free thing.
    I have to carry around a notebook for ideas and to remember things I need to do.

    What an adorable little bag! I always carry a mirror in my purse as well. It makes for an easy teeth-checkin device.

    I used to always carry a spoon with me, which has proven to be handy from time to time.

    I LOVE your purse!! Super cute!!! I have to keep red pepper flakes in my purse at all times. Not all restaurants have them and I like my food with a little kick! :)
    Have a wonderful day girl!!

    Dude that's a super cute bag. But if I only had to carry one thing? (Is there such a thing with girls purses?) It would be my sketchbook. I die, I just feel naked without my sketchbook so I can draw people when I'm bored in line.

    love the purse (or bag from my part of the world, england) its very close between lipgloss and notebook, but i think notebook would win. everything gets lost amongst my twin baby girls stuff right now though!

    CUTE cute purse! It would be chapstick! I recently bought the best handmade chapstick at my friends shop & I can't leave home without it. :)

    So cute! I love "What's in My Bag" posts! My most important thing besides wallet and phone would have to be (a tie between) tissues and lip balm - I can't do without them.

    I'm kind of torn between lip balm and gum being total necessities. I've become pretty much addicted to lip balm since I discovered Flourish Bath & Body on Etsy.

    I love seeing what you carry : )

    I always always always have sunglasses. The sun seems to be brighter here in SoCal (at least brighter than my hometown of New Orleans).

    here's my 'can't-leave-home-without-it' list:

    Lotion! I absolutely despise having dry hands! So i must apply lotion after i wash my hands... every time.

    I adore your new purse and especially your dress!

    Such good things to keep with you!

    Diana- the only reason my purse is organized is because it's small! I can't carry a big purse anymore because it becomes the family purse!

    Your bag is SO cute, Katie!

    I ALWAYS have a giant scarf in my bag, because I tend to get chilly easily. It could seriously double as a small blanket. ;)
