I've had this bag since October of 2012. I first started noticing them while on vacation, and decided it would be the perfect bag for the snowy winter here in Minnesota, since it is nylon and I wouldn't have to worry about it getting wet. I received a 20% off coupon from Bloomingdales and decided to bite the bullet. I've pretty much carried it exclusively ever since, so I think I've gotten my money's worth. Its starting to show a little wear (and I need to clean it), but that's to be expected when I carry it everyday, and I'm not all that gentle with my bags. I purchased a larger version to be my carry-on while in Hawaii last January, and totally want a bright colored one for this year :)
What I keep inside is pretty typical, I think.
- A Vera Bradley coin purse that holds extra store cards (so my wallet isn't ginormous.)
- Target sunglasses with a pouch I picked up at a Gap Outlet in 2012
- Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm (love)
- Car keys & house and mail keys. The cute bear keychain was a gift from my brother and sister-in-law that they brought me back from Paris (it also had an Eiffel Tower charm, but that fell off and is sitting on my desk :))
- Kate Spade wallet that my sweet husband picked up for my birthday this year from the Kate Spade outlet in Chicago
- A Vera Bradley medium cosmetic that I use to house all the little extras that I like to keep on hand
Inside the Vera cosmetic I keep everything I feel like I should have on hand.
- Hand cream from Bath & Body Works
- Benefit concealer
- Target notebook for jotting down notes
- Vera Bradley pen (loves these pens)
- Compact hairbrush/mirror from either Ulta or Sephora...or maybe Target?
- Tissues
- Hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works - in peppermint, with a polar bear!
- Toddy screen cleaning cloth from Target
- Assorted meds, etc. Bandaids, Pepto, Emergen-C, Cough Drops, & Shout Wipes
- Crystal nail file my mother-in-law gave me for Christmas
- Advil (must have - I have Advil everywhere)
- Gum
- Origins On The Spot - I picked this up at the counter because I thought it was a spot treatment for zits, but its actually this kind of aromatherapy thing that you rub on your temples when you feel a headache or something coming on. I've only used it a few times, but it actually does seem to help.
And that's everything in my bag! Thrilling, I know :) I'd love to hear what you keep in your bag, or if you think I've forgotten anything! I do usually keep some girly things (if you know what I mean) but obviously haven't replaced them yet.
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Any big plans for St Patty's Day? I know its on Monday, but we're celebrating over the weekend :)
