what's in my bag?

I often get asked what I lug around in my giant carryalls since I'm rarely seen with a bitty bag, so why not a little show and tell on this fine Thursday afternoon?

I have been a big fan of L.A.M.B. ever since working with them at my last job. While some of their styles are a little too funky for me, I do like many of their handbags that mix classic detailing with a bit of  urban flair. This gigantic bag in particular is what I have deemed my Mary Poppins bag, as it legitimately holds nearly everything!

A few things I cart in there on a daily basis:

Technology musts: 
My subway lifesaver, a Kindle, on which I am currently reading (and highly recommending) Freedom by James Franzen

My Flip camera, customized with a fun pattern reminiscent of the SJP NYC fragrance (from a former job)

iPhone 3 - I'm holding out for the 5, don't judge me for not being up on the trends!

Nikkor 50 mm f/1.4D camera lens - fantastic for taking outfit photos IF you can operate a manual


NYC necessities:
My $2 card holder, $5 Marc Jacobs key chain ring + $4 Forever 21 sunglasses - all big on compliments, low on cost!

Business cards, thanks to MOO + my custom Refinery29 Graphic Image journal (usually storing addresses of vintage stores, random thoughts from the city streets + haphazard to-do lists)

Beauty essentials:
NARS Schiap (the perfect shade of bright pink!) and Saffron James IPO rollerball fragrance

Everything else:
My ChloƩ wallet (which was given to me as a gift) - love and cherish this beauty, it's a classic shade of dove grey

Flip + Tumble shopper - because I hate carrying plastic shopping bags

My favorite magazine + a giant tub of chewing gum (I'm the go-to gum girl + run out quickly!)

What are you handbag staples?
