The title says it all. I have kids, I love shoes...and everything else just falls in between these fabulous "book ends"

My "everything in between" includes...being a wife, mom, working, fashion, beauty, thrifting, reading, gardening, yoga, trying not to go nuts on any given day, coffee in the morning with pinterest and tea in the evening with pinterest, anything that has the word "chocolate" in it. I love dogs, and meeting new people, trying new things, finding time to hang out with my bestest girlfriends, always trying to find the best deals and steals, and working endlessly on perfecting the art of how to be fabulous on a broke girl's budget!!

What's in MY Bag!!!?

I love reading these in magazines...maybe I'm curious or just plain nosey...but seeing what is inside of a celebrity's bag is just thrilling to me.
I thought it would be fun to do a blog post on what is in MY bag...so here it is!  I dumped out the contents..then tried my best to arrange things so it looked somewhat like it does in the mags!
Photo: Just dumped and tried to arrange my things so its pretty like they do in magazines.  It's what's in my bag....will list the items later, esp the ones that are always in there! :)

The bag... is a Fenn Wright Manson leather bag that is fabulous and the price tag was even more fabulous..because this girl found it at a thrift store for a whopping $8.99 {LOVE}

my H&M leather studded gloves...another thrift store find from a couple years ago and ALWAYS in my bag this time of the year.  It may be nice in the morning, but chilly when leaving work in the evening...nothing worse than an ice cold steering wheel!

Betseyville makeup bag!  Bought from  TJmaxx years ago, and my favorite.  It holds a ton and isn't bulky...plus it's super cute, and I don't mind pulling it out in public to grab what I need from it:)

Healthy snacks!  I have to have something healthy in my bag..if I don't..I'll stop for a cupcake somewhere!  If I have a (usually a Odwalla food bar or raw almonds) snack I can eat on the run..I'm set!

A book....I'm always reading a book, and there is usually one in my bag...you never know when you will be waiting in line, or just waiting...during which you will see me with my nose in a book. {always have been a book worm}

Business cards (in that adorable pink crocodile case that I got from mark. when I was a mentor with the company..and I still am in love with the case) because you should ALWAYS have your cards on you!

Sunglasses....these Coach sunnies I splurged and bought myself around 5 years ago, and I still love them.  A classic, big, black frame will always be chic!  You need to protect the delicate skin around your eyes, or just hide when you are not feeling your prettiest!

Eye cream...it's always in there....you never know when you could use a dab! Instant feel better, look better product!

An abundance of lip products....lipstick, chap stick, lip gloss, stain...yes I have them all, and yes I need them all!

fragrance samples....My signature fragrance is Chance by Chanel (have been wearing it for 10 years) but I like to have a fragrance in my bag to dab on when/if I need, and really don't like toting a huge bottle with me.  Currently, I am OBSESSED with "Juliette Has a Gun" in "Calamity"..it's just plain amazing, and a scent I really can't explain!  Stop in at {About Face} in Rochester and take a whiff, and see if you can score a sample!!

Rings....tonight I had 6 different rings in my bag.  It's the statement piece that I wear 9 days out of 10. At night..when I need to put those gloves on, because it's chilly out..I take the ring off and throw it in my bag, and that's how the collection at the bottom of my bag is explained:)

Iphone...in a "juice pack" because it's the best case ever (it charges my phone) and it's so chic.

Sanitizer and Wet Ones....because I have small kids and I'm always wiping hands and faces. And sometimes mommy touches something gross.

Teas and Emergen-C...I love coffee in the morning, but as the day goes on, I drink herbal tea...esp love ones by "yogi" and "TAZO"!!   Emergen-C (Vitamin C dietary supplement with 24 nutrients and 7 B vitamins..with Antioxidants & Electrolytes) is a must have for this time of the year and I try to drink it a couple times a day..my hubby swears by it for the cold- flu season. And since he hardly ever gets sick..I'm giving it a try this year! P.S. they have it for kiddos too...and I mix it into their morning juice and they slam it down.


There you have it...exciting huh? haha

What's in YOUR bag??

XOXO~E
