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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Glasses – I need my glasses wherever I go or I would be as blind as a bat!
- Apple Earphones – You know.. so I can listen to my tunes.
- 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.
- An umbrella – Since moving to British Columbia I figured I needed to invest in an umbrella. I got this one from Shoppers for $7.
- Sunglasses – These are from Forever21, and were about $2.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Blistex – I always have dry lips, so having lip balm at my finger tips is a necessity for me.
- 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!
I’m Molly! Wherever I go, I search for the magic this world has to offer. I’m a cat lover, caffeine drinker, a reader of all the books and a feeler of all the feels. My life is full of positivity and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
I need to up my purse game it seems haha! I love what you’re carrying and now I wanna go scroll YouTube for videos like these haha! I am always coming up with ideas on the go and carrying a good planner and a notebook or 2 would be a fabulous idea! The diaper bag seems to get in the way of purse carrying however, oh darn. I will get there!! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I feel you! What’s in my bag videos are some of my fav on youtube!
I love your planner! I’d be so lost without mine. We have the similar things in our bags. I have like 4 tubes of Chapstick though, I’m afraid of running oit
I love your red bag, it’s perfect for fall! I always have my wallet, iPhone and my planner in my bag too and a random assortment of lipsticks and snacks!
You have motivated me to clean out my purse. It’s a hot mess. Gum wrappers, broken necklace, and rece0ipts from probably three months ago! I should do a “what’s in my bag” post too! 🙂 I love how clean and organized you are!
I love this post! I’m so nosy. I love seeing what people carry in their bags! Your bag is so cute. I need to do an updated one of these soon! 🙂
That bag is so great looking! I usually just carry my phone, wallet and notebook, and a lot of garbage!
I don’t know why I find the “what’s in my bag” post so interesting, but I do lol…cute bag too by the way!
What a great post, Molly! I absolutely love your day planner from Chapters. 🙂
That’s so cool that you carry a voice recorder around with you. I write so I often just jot things down that I see or think of, but maybe I should invest in a voice recorder to capture exactly what I’m thinking! I love the ‘flat lay’ that you’ve done of all the things in your bag, it looks really cool!
If you have an Iphone there’s a voice recording feature you can use on it!
Love your bag! It’s a great size to carry everything too. I always have a diaper bag with me these days, but I think even when those days are over, I am going to still carry a larger bag so I can have things like an umbrella. Great post!
That bag is amazing. I want it! I probably need to invest in a bigger one because I can’t fit everything I need in the little one i have.
Loving the red tote!!!! I keep saying I need to get a great red tote since I usually keep with neutrals. It’s a great fall color and love your organization
