A Look Inside: My Bag (IFB Project #9)


I did a "A Look Inside: My Bag" post not too long ago for Kimmie over at Blue Paper Lanterns but since then lots has changed so I have decided to take IFB Project #9: What's in your bag as an opportunity to re-visit my life - bag-style - and see what's different.


Usually I'm not a big fan of bags with big logos all over them
but in this case I found the neutrals blended well together,
plus it was on sale,
plus it's a very good style for summer.



THE CONTENTS:
  1. Notepad - I like to carry it so if I have a free moment I can work on my resume and accomplishment statements.
  2. When you are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris - I always carry a book, it's great for when you're waiting.
  3. Sunglasses - Marc by Marc Jacobs. Great go-tos.
  4. A sandwich - I don't always have a sandwich, I just do today. It's homemade roasted veggie with black olive tapenade, goat cheese and alfalfa sprouts. I am excited.
  5. Touch up bag - wouldn't you like to know what's in there?
  6. Black Marker pen - for headings.
  7. Bic fine tip pen - for notes.
  8. Tide to go - because I'm messy like that.
  9. Altoids - the curiously strong mint.
  10. Sony Cybershot Camera - just in case the moment warrants it.
  11. My wallet - complete with VISA, ID and everything in-between.
  12. Car keys and house keys - believe it or not, these don't always make it in :S
  13. Aveeno Face Sunscreen - because I'm safe like that.
  14. Flash Drive - I feel weird without one.
  15. Elastic band and bobby pins - great back up in case it rains... now if only I could learn some cool up-dos.
  16. B.Kamins Lip Balm - it's balmy.
  17. Sidekicks - flats in a bag.
  18. Cardigan - because I do not enjoy being cold.
  19. Ear buds - so I can pretend to listen to music while eavesdropping when I'm bored.. not really - maybe sometimes..
  20. My watch - it needs a few links removed so I carry it with me in case the opportunity arises.


Overall I think my bag says a few key things about me:
I like to be prepared for a variety of outcomes.
I like to be comfortable.
I like to stay busy.
I like to eat sandwiches.


One item noticeable missing from this array is my phone. Usually my phone does find a nice little spot within my bag but this, this is no bag - it is a bottomless pit that eats phones. So, when toting this bottomless pit around I like to keep my phone in my pocket and avoid embarrassing, cat-ladyesq behaviour when trying not to miss a call.

Hey, look at that - It all fits!

  1. It's always so interesting to see what other people like to carry with them. The contents of my bag seem a little boring compared to yours haha!

  6. I haven't owned any other pairs of roll-up flats so I cannot compare, but I will say that they've been pretty good to me so far! The first night I wore them the elastic dug in a little on my heel but didn't give me blisters or anything. I've worn them twice for about 5 hours each time and they're still holding up great… hmmm did I miss anything??

  9. No way! I would love to see what's in your bag. Honestly, I thought my bag was a little dull and thought about throwing in my bracelets to spice it up... obviously bracelets aren't that exciting and wouldn't have done much but you get the point
