What's in my Bag?
I haven't done one of these posts in a long time, so I thought I'd dump out my bag and let you know what I keep inside! Haha.. This post has actually been requested quite a bit. I think they're fun, and I like to see them too!The handbag I'm currently carrying is a winter green faux leather hobo with lots of gold studs on the sides. I purchased it from Marshalls last month for around $35. It's a no-name brand, so unfortunately there's no label inside the bag where I can tell you the exact information on it. I've been carrying it all month though, and I love it!
Eyeglasses - I need to wear glasses when I'm reading or when I'm on the computer, so I usually have them them with me in my bag. They aren't too fancy or anything, but if you're curious, the model # is Chanel 3198-H.
Sunglasses - I love sunglasses, and I always have a pair or two in my bag. Currently I've been wearing my super oversized Gucci 3157/s Sunglasses.
iPhone 5 - I got an iPhone 5 for Christmas, and I've been completely obsessed. If it's not in my hand, it's usually in my bag. I usually always get comments on my brass knuckles case, and I got it from eBay. Just search 'brass knuckles iPhone case' and you'll find tons of results.
iPhone Charger - Because I'm on my phone so much and forget to charge it most of the time, I always keep my charger on me.
Michael Kors Saffiano Leather Continental Wallet - I have a couple wallets that I rotate every now and then, but I love zip-around wallets because I can cram so many receipt and junk in them. haha! I got this wallet back in June for my birthday, and although they had this wallet in every color, I can't seem to track it down on any website. I guess it's because MK comes out with so many different styles often. They currently have very similar ones at the stores, but with a larger metal plate on the front.
Hobo Metro Slide Credit Card Holder - I usually keep my gift card in a metal card case, but because I didn't like having to pull all of my cards out each time I had to look for a card. When I saw this little card case at TJ Maxx, I thought it was the perfect little convenient case so I wouldn't have to dig around at the register.
Business Card Holder - I was looking for a glitzy business card holder and found this adorable one from an online store called Mont Bleu. I keep all of my important business and appointment cards that I may need inside.
Eccolo Little Pink Book - If I ever have anything to remember or write down, I always jot it down in this little journal. It's a mess of recipes, grocery lists, to-do lists, thoughts, etc. I purchased it a while back from Marshalls. They always have a good selection of journals.
Narcisco Rodriguez for Her Eau De Toilette - I purchased the smallest size bottle (1 oz) so I could keep it in my handbag. It's one of my favorite night time fragrances. Whenever I wear it, it's inevitable that someone will compliment the scent.
Lady Gaga Fame Rollerball - I just recently got this perfume because so many people have been talking about it. I like it, but I don't love it. It might grow on me.. we'll see.
Glass Nail File - I glass nail files opposed to any other file, and I always have one on hand. They seem to do the best job of filing my nails without damaging them.
Tangle Teezer - I've talked about this a few times on my blog, but I love this little brush to quickly get through my hair.
Kenra Hairspray - I always try to keep a travel bottle of hair spray in my bag for a little pick-me-up when my hair needs a little "oomph". This hairspray is pretty average. My favorite spray though is Beyond the Zone Flipped Out Spray. I have yet to find something that beats it! :)
Hand Sanitizer Wipes - Always a must-have for me being the germaphobe that I am.
Nivea Hand Cream - I always need cream for my hands, but I rarely ever carry lotion on me because I try to limit the weight in my bag. Luckily, this little tin is nearly weightless and doesn't take up much room. And, it works great!

Leather Gloves - I'm a huge fan of leather gloves during the Fall/Winter and I've been loving these for the past couple of months. I purchased them at H&M on Black Friday.
Rings/Earrings - I'm often on the go and forget to put on earrings and/or rings, so I almost always have a couple pairs in my bag for those times. ;) The rings are from Tahari and H&M and the earrings are from Forever 21.
Makeup Bag - I try to keep my makeup bag as light as possible so I always keep my foundation, blush, eyeshadow or anything heavy at home. I usually always carry a couple face brushes with for touch-ups, as well as bronzer, mascara, eyeliner, lipstick and lipgloss.
What's currently in my makeup bag is- Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation (because this is a light squeeze tube, i'll bring it with. Glass bottles stay home), Nars Laguna Bronzer, MAC Kabuki Brush (for touch-ups), Burt's Bees Chapstick (has been my savior as of lately!), MAC Bombshell Lipstick, MAC Marquise D Lipstick (LE), Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara, Physicians Formula Eye Booster Eyeliner, Make Up Forever Aqua Brow & an angled brow brush. I'm totally capable of carrying a lot more makeup in my bag, but I try to keep it as light as possible. Sometimes I only carry lip products with.
So what do you think? Do I have a crazy amount of junk in my bag? Haha, I think just about everything is pretty necessary. There are times though when I don't feel like lugging a heavy bag with me so I sometimes dump everything out except my wallet and makeup bag.
Is your bag pretty light, or do you get teased at how ridiculous heavy your bag is? I usually do. lol
