What’s in my bag?

I’ve been asked by a few people to do a post about what’s in my bag. I figured I would give it a go, and let you know the contents of my handbag. I’m currently using a red handbag I bought in Nova Scotia while I was on holiday at Northern Sun Gallery.

Depending on where I’m wearing my bag, and what I’m up to I switch between this bag, my Guess tote bag, and a rucksack from Chapters.

I love this red bag because of the gold hardware and the amount of storage. There’s also a shoulder strap if I need it, which I love.

1. Day planner from Chapters – The thing I make sure is in my handbag at all times is my planner. I like this planner because although it’s for 2016 it has the last few months of 2015 in it too. It’s small, but has a lot of room for writing. I need to have it on me at all times for my job, and scheduling meetings, interviews and events. It also comes in handy for writing down blog post ideas.
2. My little makeup bag from Crabtree and Evelyn – This little bag is the perfect spot for my lip products and makeup for touch ups throughout the day.
3. Guess change purse – My wallet doesn’t have an area for coin, so I needed to get a change purse. This fits everything I need, as well it has compartments for cards incase I don’t want to bring my bag with me.
4. Glasses – I need my glasses wherever I go or I would be as blind as a bat!
5. Apple Earphones – You know.. so I can listen to my tunes.
6. Betsey Johnson Wallet –  I bought this wallet from Winners a year ago, and I still love it so much. The inside is gold, and has enough space for my cards and cash.
7. An umbrella – Since moving to British Columbia I figured I needed to invest in an umbrella. I got this one from Shoppers for $7.
8. Sunglasses – These are from Forever21, and were about $2.
9. Audio Recorder – Being a journalist I always carry an audio recorder with me because you never know when news will happen!. I got this one as a christmas gift, and love it.
10. Keys – My leather M I bought at the halifax farmers market, and the seashell is from Mahone Bay. Both of these remind me of Nova Scotia and my holiday there.
11. An extra memory card – I usually have my Canon camera with me, so I try to always keep an extra memory card, so I’m never without. I tend to always forget to put the cards back into my camera.
12.  Tylenol – Though I rarely use it, I try to carry tylenol on me as much as possible. It’s good in a pitch if I have a headache, or if someone around me does.
13. Blistex – I always have dry lips, so having lip balm at my finger tips is a necessity for me.
14. Pencil case by Kate Spade – Lastly I carry my pencil case filled to the brim with pens and pencils. I usually carry a notebook for work, so having a constant supply of pens is a must.

Other things I tend to carry with me are: My Iphone, notebooks, Ipad, Camera, a book, and some water.

Hopefully you enjoyed this post, and I want to know what you carry in your handbag. Let me know in the comments!
