inside the bag

I pretty much carry a Mary Poppin's type purse- never ending. As much as I would love to carry a small, more compact purse, I simply can't do it. I always look in amazement when I see other women carry only a clutch as their purse. Complete and utter fascination. One day I aspire to be like them, until then here's what weighs down my arm on a daily basis...


My go-to bag: Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag
Kate Spade Cobble Hill Stacy Wallet
My 2 favorite apple products- ipad & iphone
Ray Ban Aviators
My standard snacks: larabar's and kind bars
Lip treatment: NARS turkish delight and Aquaphor
Rotating source of gum/mints 
A little bag of this & that's- truvia packets (for coffee), hand lotion, advil, etc

What kind of purse do you normally carry?
Anything you have to have with you?

    With two kids, I guess I am a Mary Poppins carrier, too.

    I am totally with you! Even if I try to get a smaller bag it ends up stuffed so it's always back to a bigger bag ... just never know what you might need!

    I am a NARS girl too. Seriously though. My purse is my bag of tricks. I have a small arsenal in there. Insane.

    Yayay for Rebecca Minkoff! My go-to bag is a Rebecca Minkoff Mini Nikki - I have it in five or six colors! :P

    I LOVE your pretty bag, Ashley. And I too tend to carry my whole life around with me. It's pretty bad.

    I wish I could carry a smaller purse! Mine is seriously loaded down! I carry a back coach leather purse! And filled to the brim with my favorite sunglasses (ray ban aviators) my iphone, healthy snack. There are loose coins and lip gloss everywhere! I seriously don't know how some women carry a small purse!

    I have tons of stuff in my purse too...but I frequently put my debit and license in my back pocket and leave the purse at home. Sometimes it is just too much.

    I wish I constantly carried a purse so that I could make a post like this! But I'm constantly changing - nor do I think I have enough stuff to put in a large bag.. (I'm #guilty of just trying to randomly find things to put in it hahaah)

    Thanks for sharing xx

    Oh my gosh I love your purse! I've been trying to find one that I like and I just can't seem to find the "right" one.

    I usually carry so much stuff in my bag too...including the handful of lipgloss I rotate between!

    Ashley, I'm like you... I can't seem to manage walking out the door with anything smaller than a large tote. Random things typically in mine... squeaky tennis balls and plastic bags for the pup, Altoids (always), and vasoline for my dry skin.

    Love your bag--it's so chic! I always carry huge purses, too! I can never figure out how girls can carry such small purses...

    I'm like you I carry a lot of stuff in my bag - I once even hauled around a brick for the day! I'm an interior designer so a lot of odd things end up in my bags & car! I just discovered your gorgeous blog through one of my favourite blogs 'Gild & Grace'. I have just signed up as your latest follower! I look forward to popping by for some more inspiration!
