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.
My bag is United Colours of Benetton.
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:
- Notepad - I like to carry it so if I have a free moment I can work on my resume and accomplishment statements.
- When you are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris - I always carry a book, it's great for when you're waiting.
- Sunglasses - Marc by Marc Jacobs. Great go-tos.
- 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.
- Touch up bag - wouldn't you like to know what's in there?
- Black Marker pen - for headings.
- Bic fine tip pen - for notes.
- Tide to go - because I'm messy like that.
- Altoids - the curiously strong mint.
- Sony Cybershot Camera - just in case the moment warrants it.
- My wallet - complete with VISA, ID and everything in-between.
- Car keys and house keys - believe it or not, these don't always make it in :S
- Aveeno Face Sunscreen - because I'm safe like that.
- Flash Drive - I feel weird without one.
- Elastic band and bobby pins - great back up in case it rains... now if only I could learn some cool up-dos.
- B.Kamins Lip Balm - it's balmy.
- Sidekicks - flats in a bag.
- Cardigan - because I do not enjoy being cold.
- Ear buds - so I can pretend to listen to music while eavesdropping when I'm bored.. not really - maybe sometimes..
- 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! |
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!
ReplyDeleteI just finished that David Sedaris book last month. He's super funny :)
ReplyDeleteAlso your sandwich sound delicious.
I like to keep a book and notebook/notepad in my bag as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think about the Sidekicks flats? I've been looking for a good pair.
ReplyDeleteYes, share! I'm interested, too.
ReplyDeleteI 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??
ReplyDeleteIt's so great to be able to know you have paper on you.. that sounds odd but I'm sure you know what I mean :)
ReplyDeleteworst thing?? I put my sandwich in the fridge after taking photos to keep it fresh and then FORGOT it at home :( and then my boyf ate it. no sandwich for sorren.
ReplyDeleteNo 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
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I love seeing what everyone else keeps in their purses :) I especially adore how you organized and photographed your contents! The numbering graphic makes it so much easier to follow <3
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post. Looks super organized to me. All my bags are phone eaters so I get that big time. Love what your bag says about you. Cinnamon Altoids? The best.
ReplyDeleteI love this bag Sorren! Cream colored pattern: yes please!
ReplyDeleteI adore that you sandwiches is part of the post, it's my favorite item in your bag... I must be hungry because I should be loving these little flats even more (fabu idea)!
