Let’s start with the bag… Carmel colored, faux croc satchel (Elle brand at Kohls, $28) which I’ve carried pretty much every day since I bought it. It’s big enough to hold a file or two if I have to take work home, but is considerably more fashionable than my previous “take work home” bags. Did I mention the carmel color…love it.
The current contents include:
- Two books for reading on lunch hours, while waiting in line, or *gasp* while waiting at stoplights. Both books are on loan from the library (free) where I’ve become a very regular customer.
- Bright blue coupon/gift card file (Meijer, $4). If these aren’t already in my handbag, I’ll never remember to take them with me.
- Knock-off designer clutch, fabric. (Christmas gift, cost is unknown). Perfect grab & go size. It fits ID, cards, phone & even some lip gloss when demanded.
- Bright blue umbrella (Target, $25). Best feature is the automatic opening/closing — great for all those times when only have one hand (which is often for me). Plus the color perks up even the dreariest of days.
- Pink notebook (Rite Aid, $3). For all those momentary thoughts…
- iphone 3GS in black (Apple store, $199 with AT&T contract which we already had). Huge splurge (seriously, who needs a $200 device to make phone calls), but its more mini-computer than phone.
What’s missing: Lip gloss mentioned above — Estee Lauder (Macy’s, $25) in a berry shade. Love it, but haven’t been able to find it since my wedding day.

I’m voting for this girl! Her bag is cute, but what I REALLY love is that she carries two books, an umbrella and her “monetary thoughts” notebook in her purse. I have to bring a book with me everywhere I go, and I may just have to steal this umbrella idea. It seems like I never have an umbrella with me when I need it. Good luck, girl!
I vote for this one. Cute, minimalist, practical!!!
Very practical and steamlined.
I vote for this one. I love the “Knock-off designer clutch”, I did not know until I read the description it was a knock-off.
Ideal and dapper!
Nice bag and under $30 too!
