What’s in my Bag?

Hi everyone! In today’s post you get to see a glimpse of what’s in my bag!

First of all, let’s talk about how great this Nordstrom Reversible Bag is!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–it’s like 2 bags in 1! That’s my favorite part about this bag. It’s sooo affordable (only $48!!!) and so durable! I wrote about this bag in my July favorites post so if you want to find out more about it, go check out my post!

Now let’s get into the actual contents of my bag!

I got this notebook from JCrew last year. I love to keep it in my bag just in case I get an idea for a blog post! I also like to write my To Do lists in this notebook. It comes in very handy & it’s not too heavy!

 

iPad Mini

I love to carry my iPad with me in my bag. I have the older version, but I still love it. It comes in handy if I’m waiting somewhere and I’m bored–I use my iPad to read or even to play games sometimes! I love to browse Pinterest (follow me here!) and get some outfit inspirations from there! I also use my iPad to browse Instagram (find me here!) and Twitter (follow me here!). I just love carrying this mini iPad with me!

Similar Tory Burch Coin Purse // Ray Bans

I always carry a pair of sunglasses with me because I know I’ll need them at some point throughout the day. Lately, I’ve been carrying my Ray Bans with the blue lenses. I love these sunglasses so much. They’re great for adding a pop of color to any outfit! I have also been loving using my Tory Burch zip coin purse (similar here). It’s so compact and small that it’ll fit well in my bag!

I of course have to carry my car keys in my bag! I got this cute Kate Spade key chain last summer at the outlets. I like to have a lot of key chains attached to my keys to ensure that I never lose them (I still do, sometimes!). I got this St. Christopher key chain from Alex and Ani & unfortunately, they do not sell them anymore! However, if St. Christopher is one of your favorite Saints (like he is mine) then I reccommend checking out Gerson Jewelers! They’ve got the prettiest St. Christopher necklaces.

I got this trusty makeup bag from the outlets last summer! I love the colors, I think they’re so cute and fun! I think you guys will be more interested in what’s inside this bag so let’s get into it!

Dior Addict Lip Glow // Dior Addict Tie Dye Lipstick // Sugar Lip Treatment // Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color // Blistex Lip Medex // Orbit Gum // EOS Hand Lotion // Beach by Bobbi Brown

Ok so I guess you could say I love lip products? I carry at least 5 of them in my bag at once! My all time favorite lip product is my Dior Addict Lip Glow. This stuff is ah-mazing & worth the price! Another Dior product that I have been loving is the Dior Addict Tie Dye Lipstick. I bought this during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and quickly became obsessed. This is a limited edition product, so I’d hurry up and go get it!! Continuing on with the lip products, I love using my Sugar Lip Treatment. Its soo hydrating and moisturizing and I love the scent! It adds a subtle color to your lips–which I am a big fan of. I’d say this product is worth the hype! Another lip product that I love is the Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color and I use it in the color “Sheer Pink Mauve.” This color is one of my favorites for the summer. I love the formula of this lipstick because it’s not drying at all. Lastly on the lip product front, I carry a Blistex Lip Medex with me in case my lips ever do get dry. This is my go-to product for curing chapped lips!

Ok so now that we’re done with lip products, let’s talk about the other few items I carry in this little pouch. I don’t go anywhere without a pack of gum. I love Orbit gum because it leaves my breath so fresh and the flavor lasts for a while! My favorite flavor is the wintermint flavor. I also usually carry a hand lotion in my bag. I can be a bit of a germaphobe sometimes, which leads to washing my hands often. Since I wash my hands so often, they tend to dry out (hence-the hand lotion). The one I have in my bag right now is by EOS. This one smells sooo good, I just love applying it!! Lastly, in this pouch, I like to carry a rollerball. The one I have in my bag right now is Beach by Bobbi Brown. I think this scent is perfect for summer. If you want to read more about what I think of this scent, then check out my Beach Essentials post here.

Erin Condren Life Planner

Ok, moving on! I love this planner so much that I’ve even devoted a blog post to it. I like to carry it with me in my bag so that I can always know what my schedule is. I also like having it with me in case something in my schedule changes. The only issue I have with this planner is that it’s pretty big to carry in my every day bag.  Do you guys use any planners?? Do you know of any good smaller ones? Let me know in the comments!!

I hope you all enjoyed seeing and reading what’s in my bag! What do you guys keep in your bag? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for reading!
