What's In Her Bag?

A big thanks to Megan for allowing me to be a part of her “What’s In Her Bag” series! My name’s Ashley and Megan and I have been friends since we were 5 years old! She was my very first, best friend and still one of my best friends! Our passion for all things girly started very young, so no coincidence here that we blog about the same things!

Ok, so what’s in my bag? Well….it’s a bit of a bottomless hole…I tend to collect things and it’s not always the cleanest. So no judging! I also tend to just carry around the same bag for like 6 months at a time...how boring right? I’m working on it.

The Bag—I got this back last year from Aldo (sorry picture isn’t great). The main reason I got it was because it resembles a Chanel style bag and that is my ultimate lust designer! I will one day have a classic Chanel bag. Hubby’s been told.

What I found in my bag:

1. Wallet—This wallet I have had FOREVER! This is definitely one of those things that I keep saying I’ll buy myself a new one soon, and then never get around to it. I think I bought this at Macy’s like 6 years ago? It’s a Guess wallet….pink patent leather with crystal heart detail (except most of the crystals are missing now..) The thing weighs like 4 pounds too…guess I need to clean it out huh?

2. Checkbook—My checkbook cover is matching to my wallet. As mentioned before, new one needs to happen soon!

3. Sunglasses—The sunglasses I currently have in my purse are Prada. I love these! They are black with just a little bit of pink detail around the edges. I bought them a few years ago but I’ve kept them in great condition (however, the case not so much…it’s falling apart!)

4. Daily planner—I carry around a planner because I got into the habit of using one in High School and I’ve never looked back! I’m a very organized person, and I like to keep all my ducks in a row, so having a planner where I write everything down keeps me at ease.

5. Pen—boring.

6. Ed Hardy case—Ok, so I’m not an Ed Hardy fan, I swear! I have a few different Ed Hardy items because back when it was popular, my family’s department store carried the line and I thought it was cool, so I got a few different things. Well, now it’s more in fashion for the….how shall I put this…Jersey Shore type? Anyway, I keep female “stuff” in there but I seriously need to just get rid of this case because the things that keep the crystals held to the case, scratch my fingers really bad! Every time I dig through my bag, I end up with cuts all over my hands from this stupid case!

7. iPod—I carry my iPod with me so I can listen to music in the car to and from work.

8. Pass Key—This is my key card to get into my office building. I’ve definitely misplaced this a few times…

9. Gum—Orbit is my favorite type of gum!

10. Chocolate mints—Ok, so whenever I leave a restaurant and they have these mints….I take a big handful of them and my husband is always sooooo embarrassed! But, whatever…..I like them.

11. Toothpicks—I’m not really sure how I ended up with all of these…? I THINK I took them for baking (you know when you make brownies and they ask you to stick a toothpick in them to see if they’re done?) I don’t have any in my house so I think I was just being cheap and stealing them from a restaurant! They clearly never made it out of my purse though. LOL

12. Flash Drives—These are for work. I go to Kinkos now and then to print stuff. Nothing too exciting here.

13. Lip Glosses—Ok, got Philosophy Peppermint Bark (this was hand me down from my Mom), CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint in Pink Mint (LOVE this one! Just the right amount of color and shine and oh so minty!), and MAC’s Pro Longwear Lipcolour (Like it because the color stays on, BUT I find once the gloss part wears off, the color gets all dry on my lips. Also the Color part of the tube broke and leaks a little).

14. Lipstick—This is a mini Chanel lipstick in Desirable. I think I got this as a sample somewhere along the way.

15. Lip Balm—I love Blistex’s Lip Medex. I get really chapped lips living up here in the cold, so this is the best stuff to sooth and cool lips.

16. Hand Lotion—I got this for free from CVS. Again, since it’s so cold up here, my skin gets pretty dry so I always keep lotion in my purse.

17. Bobby Pins—I collect these in random places (i.e. Next to my computer at work, my purse, cup holders in my car, the shower…you get the picture).

18. Button—I found a button. I think this came off of one of my winter coats…I should probably go sew that back on…

19. Receipts and miscellaneous papers—Like I said, my purse is a bottomless hole soo I end up with tons of receipts, old coupons, and just trash. That is probably the messiest part of it all. Whoops!
