I am ashamed. I have loved reading “what’s in my bag” posts for years. So, one would think I might have returned the favor by now and let everyone see what’s in my (albeit boring) handbag. But no, I’ve neglected the post, even though it has been written in my Malden for months. It ends today!
Welcome to my Target handbag. Lol, maybe this is why I have taken forever! With all of the beautiful Coach, Fiorelli, and Vera Bradley posts out in the blogosphere, could my little Target bag really compare? Honestly, despite its $12 clearance price tag, this bag has been serving me well. I originally bought it exclusively for NYC, since I wanted a cross-body bag for all of the walking we’d be doing. But once we got back, I realized I didn’t want to switch over to anything else! So I’ve remained in this paisley beauty:
My favorite part is how full I can stuff this thing! Hmmmm, sound familiar? The Malden is also getting fatter by the day!
Here’s what is inside:
Back row from left:
– crochet pen bag
– current book (Inside of a Dog)
– Malden!
– everything bag: contains Excedrin, chapstick, lipgloss, mirror, bandages, hair ties, odds and ends
– booklight (only if I know I’ll be using it). This thing is actually amazing, and will get its own review soon!
Front row from left:
– Blackberry (although I am itching for something new)
– business card holder
– Coach coin purse (from the outlet store of course!)
– Cute owl Paperchase sticky notes and boring purple ones- I tend to flag book passages all the time!
– Glasses case, since I only need them when reading or on the computer
– Altoids, cinnamon only!
– Keys: house, parents house, bike lock, and beloved Subaru (again, this will have its own post- the Subaru, not the keys!)
– point and shoot camera with case- I never leave home without some sort of camera on me!
And finally, Frankie! He wouldn’t leave me alone while trying to take these pictures, so I figured he just wanted you all to see him today 🙂
And that’s it! Happy Saturday!
Frankie is so cute! I really enjoyed your post. You get a lot of stuff in your handbag although it doesn't seem that huge.
Cutest. Dog. On. The. Planet.
Crochet pen bag=FABULOUS. You made it, yes? I love it.
I missed my BB after I traded it for an Android phone. Now I don't have any cell phone..and don't miss it that much…weird.
Is that book good? What kind of P&S do you use?
Kiss Frankie the precious pooch 4 me!! (I'd carry him in my bag too, he's AWESOME)
Thanks CP! I love that this bag holds way more than it looks like it should!
Lol Rori! Yeah, he's pretty cute! I did crochet the pen bag, and the book is very good so far. I plan to do a review once I'm done.
This point and shoot is a little Nikon. Not the best, but I didn't realize my D50 was broken until I was at the airport on the way to visit my newborn nieces last October so I had to buy something in a rush 🙁 It works, but isn't ideal. Oh well…
I love What's in my Bag posts too… and your dog is a cutie 😉
Frankie looks so cute that he should be in your bag as well.
Love bag posts. Thanks! I will be doing another one soon, as my new glasses came in. This way, I can write about both items in one post.
Wow! That bag is cute, a bargain, and holds so much more than it looks like it could (or should, for that matter)! You have a clown car bag. 😉
Frankie is adorable. And, did you use a pattern for the crocheted bag? Or did you wing it? I am picking up that hobby (again) this week. If willing to share that pattern, please let me know.
@Sandra, Lol! Yes, clown car bag for sure!
The bag is a combo of pattern/winging it. The flower started as a pattern, but I ended up making it up! The rest is just a basic granny square with fabric sewn inside. I get most of my patterns from http://crochetpatterncentral.com/index.php
They have a ton of granny squares and flowers- I'm sure you'll find a fun combo! I ended up making a 7" diameter square and it fits 10 pens comfortably 🙂
I had this bag!! And I got it to go to NYC as well. It worked amazingly and I miss it now that I don't have it (it finally began to wear away). If only I could find a new one just as good as this one was :]
