i want to go ahead and start this post by introducing my new series.
every day this week i will give my amazing readers a peek into a different aspect of my fashion/beauty world.
i'm not going to list any specifics as to what day i'm doing what because i might just get a brilliant idea mid-week and change everything.
all you have to know is that this week i'm giving all of you a free pass to snoop through my stuff.
the reason i'm doing this is because i'm one of those people who loves to observe and learn about the people around me through seeing what they have, love, how they keep organized etc. i think it provides a lot of insight into who a person is behind closed doors.
#bloglife = no closed doors
enjoy snooping!
side note: i usually post late in the evening because that's when i'm most productive. don't be disappointed if you check early and there's no post. bonafide night owl here.
welcome to my handbag!
this elliott lucca bag is my new favorite! it was my only purchase from the nordstrom anniversary sale. it's made of ivory pebbled leather with black hardware and features a hand painted feather. there are two short straps that are only long enough to wear in the crook of your arm and a longer strap to wear as a cross body. this bag is very spacious so if i don't stay organized things get lost very easily. i usually start my day with everything in its designated place but by the end of the day there's a pile of change, receipts and bobby pins in each corner.
inside my bag i keep my rose gold leather marc jacobs zipper pouch. in the past i've used this bag as a clutch but i thought the black hardware would go well with the handbag and help keep things nice and organized.
content details:
tokyomilk handcreme // smells woody and coconutty
scope breath spray // good for times when i drink coffee and gum is inappropriate
estee lauder pocket mirror // i like a covered mirror so it stays protected in my bag
bath and body works hand sanitizer // necessity. this one is in the scent sunflower citrus. if you didn't already know i'm obsessed with sunflowers
mary kay eye shadow single in crystalline // i usually put this on my cupid's bow when i touch up my lipstick to make my upper lip appear fuller
hair elastic and bobby pins // because you always need one or the other (or both)
mini lint roller // i have two dogs and a cat so life can get pretty hairy
stevia to-go // i've been trying to get away from chemical-filled sugar substitutes and a lot of restaurants don't offer stevia so i always have it on me
ysl manifesto roller ball perfume // this little travel sized fragrance is perfect for a mid-day refresh. the scent is really light and summery
shout wipe // because accidents happen and a stain can ruin an otherwise perfect ootd
tampon // because i'm a girl and we must always be prepared... for ourselves or a sister in need
bandaids // i believe in the idea that once you put on a pair of shoes you are "married" to them. so instead of ending the day carrying my heels i have these puppies as blister back-up
the rest of my items are just thrown into the main part of the bag.
canon power shot // i rarely remember to grab my actual camera when i want to take a pic but it's good to have
dollar store sunglasses // these are easy to grab and go. i probably use these as a headband more than i use them to actually shade my eyes
moleskin notebook // for my "brilliant" ideas, random contact info, to-do lists, etc.
carnival pen // from our honeymoon. good times :)
keys // i got my beaded strawberry keychain when we were in honduras
michael kors wristlet/ wallet // i got this at buffalo exchange for a bargain and it is the perfect size for a little cash and all my membership cards. in it i have a few "just in case items" like my bath and body works coupons, my spa certificate, and my friend brittney hiett's business cards for her photography business. she's amazing if you want to check out her website (brittneyhiettphotography.com)
receipts and change // pretty typical
maybelline lipstick in pink me up // my everyday lipstick
nyx mega shine lip gloss in beige // it's actually more pink than beige. my everyday lipgloss
flower lip stick // i love this brand's rose gold packaging. it has three different shades of pink that you can switch out
burt's bees lip balm in mango butter // my all-time favorite chap stick. this stuff has saved my lips multiple times and smells and tastes amazing
crystal light peach mango green tea packet // i can't get enough of this stuff and i don't drink soda anymore so this is a great alternative for on-the-go if i get a craving
special k strawberry pastry crisps // i usually have a snack with me because i can get very hangry (angry because i'm hungry). i'll keep something like this, a zone bar or a cliff bar with me just in case
that's all folks!
i hope you enjoyed getting to sneek a peek into my handbag.
i'm also including today's ootd.
i got to join my boss today as she did some real estate business. it was a good learning experience since i'm currently enrolled in real estate classes.
another side note: the handbag in this pic is different from the one above because it matched my outfit but 80% of the time, recently, i've been wearing my new elliott lucca bag.
pearl studs: walmart
statement necklace: nordstrom (bauble bar)
faux leather shell: express
denim skinnies: victoria's secret (thrifted)
gold watch: fossil
handbag: kate spade new york
faux leather heels: payless
stay tuned for part 2 tomorrow!
XOXO.
