Let’s see…. the wallet was a gift from the Coach outlet …. the planner was a work planner from Staples? Office Max? One of the two, anyway …. the notebook was a free convention giveaway… the make-up bag was from E.L.F., the charger = Apple Store, and the bluetooth was also a gift from the Apple Store. Phone, same.

Pretty boring!

Oh, inside the makeup bag? Lessee, that’s got a lip gloss from Victoria’s Secret, a Vaseline tube from ..eh… Target or CVS or something like that. Extra bobby pics because you never know when you might need one, hair ties, a little mirror, a pair of tweezers and bandaids. Because you never know when you might need one!

And of course, all of this is featured inside the beloved leather bag that I bought NOT on a budget at all. But let’s not talk about that, shall we?

What’s In My Bag: Clare

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.
