Lovey, I have the Musette Salsa as well but with the short strap though.

Fryl, take a gander at this super cute Hello Kitty Hand Bag too cute ! I am wondering if that's real leather .

Don't you love it? I probably wouldn't have even noticed the bag, but I saw someone wearing it across the body, and fell in love with the style and it's been one of my favorites ever since!

I used to carry it all the time but it's just too small for me. I can hardly fit anything into it, and did you see how much junk I carry around?!



I probably haven't used it in almost two years, but I think I'll get it out one of these days because the bigger the bag the more stuff you tend to carry.

I am embarrased about telling you what's in my bag, much less showing you.

Or should I say bags. When I am looking for something, I have to look through a few bags to find it.

Right now in one I am using, it has at 5 lip glosses , a few roll ons, a full size VS succulent, tissues, 4 pens, organizer, a cluttered makeup bag with things I see I need to throw away and a McDonalds toy that I need to give to my niece.

You're right! You can't carry much in there. That's why I like to take it shopping because I don't need a lot of stuff! But I manage to get everything I need in there, I just have to be neat about it.

I just took a picture of my (current bag and it's contents)...I'll reiterate on what Fryl said and say, please don't judge !

NOTE: There are a few things in here that are interchangeable. I don't always take all 3 lipglosses, or the eye kohl, or the book, or the HFO for that matter .

Kimmer, what's the HFO in there for?

I take it to the office so that I can burn it there .

I am seriously laughing my head off, Kimmer!!
It's just precious that you have a bottle of HFO in your handbag.

I love everyone's pictures.
More pictures, please!

yes, more purse ogling please, lol.

Kimmer, a WHOLE Frozen Daq splash?!

This thread is so funny!

Kimmer, I can just see you at work setting up your oil warmer, then whipping out the FD for a little spritz! No wonder your co workers say you always smell so good. You've got more great smelling stuff in your purse than a lot of people have in their whole closet!

I'm glad everyone is having fun with this!!

Fryl, thank you, I love that bag so much, too! The color is what drew me to it.
Nbgs, I love your sunglasses! Very cute.
Kimmer, I carry full-size splashes in my purse, too! If I happen to have a mini or decant I'll use that, but otherwise I'll toss the whole darn thing in there!

I'm having so much fun looking at and reading about everybody else's stuff!

Here is a bag that I used a couple of weekends back. It's really more of a tote, I suppose, but I went to the university campus and went for a long walk and then sat on the grass on a beach towel on the green in the center of campus and read for a while. It was so nice!



Contents:
Striped beach towel (underneath everything)
Curel lavender and chamomile lotion
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunblock SPF 55!!!
Hand sanitizer
Fruit and nut bar
Card holder - drivers license, debit/credit cards, etc.
Keys
Chapstick
Cell phone
A Cook's Tour by Anthony Bourdain ... I read it once already, but it's fun to pick up and re-read passages. Excellent book!!!
Orbit Mint Mojito gum
Mirror/hairbrush compact thing
Orange Blossom splash
I Want Candy lipgloss

Not pictured: cup of coffee that I so desperately wanted from the coffee shop in the student union, but they are apparently closed on the weekends, so no coffee for me.

You're right, Janelle! This is a fun thread. It's amazing how similar and different we all are in our purse habits.

Fryl- *laughs right along with you*. I am glad that I've managed to provide some entertainment, free for all board members .

Seriously though, I always take something with me to the office to burn (HFOs) or plug in (Wallflowers) . Odd I know...but soooo delish .


Lovey- Awwww twinny twin twin ...I appreciate the supportive agreement in my sporting around loads of yummy smelling stuff around that inevitably takes the place of other things that are surely more serviceable .


Janelle- This was seriously an awesome idea. Thanks for introducing it to us girly !


Everyone else- Post your handbag porn ladies...we need new material to ooohhh and aaaahhhh over .

I finally had a free minute to take everything out & get a pic. I'll list contents below.

Ok my first question is who in the world needs that many lipsticks? Geez! You guys know I'm an Avon rep so I'll have more Avon than anything, or one would think. LOL

**Prada bag...believe it or not this was a hand me down
**Fossil wallet that is bursting at the seams with coupons & such. Ever since I got this wallet in I believe 1996 or so I haven't carried anything else. Honestly. And it still smells leathery.
**Avon vanilla hand cream
**various lipsticks & glosses (Avon, Covergirl, Revlon, VS)
**Avon Glimmersticks eyeliner
**mirror for applying lipsticks & glosses...lol
**celly
**Orbit & mints from Sonic
**super duper pen...seriously for a cheapo this thing writes great
**bandaids for when I get blisters on my heels, usually when I wear new shoes
**battery for mp3 player
**multi-vitamin
**24 Hour Fitness food journal, I just joined the other day
**Sweet & Low, I usually have one or 2 packets stashed for emergencies. And yes I have had sweetener emergencies...lol
**baby fingernail clippers...these belonged to my now 15 year old son
**comb
**Covergirl makeup
**eyeglasses cleaning cloth
**Avon cuticle remover
**prescription shades...never leave home without 'em
**work door & gate card

I just notice my keys aren't there. I normally don't keep them in my purse when I'm at home. We have a basket on the counter in the kitchen that we throw them into when we come in the door.

So there you have it. A glimpse into my world. Can't wait to see more of yall's.

Awww, texgirl! How sweet that you still have your son's baby clippers.
