I tend to be a basic kind of girl when it comes to what I usually tote around in my bag. So a tape measure might not be a common purse item but it really comes in handy when I'm out shopping sometimes. I don't usually carry a compact cause I'm more about blotting than powdering. The fold-up shopping bag is a must since I'm a city dweller and I try to do the eco thing and don't take bags when I don't have to. These are pretty much my purse essentials. What are yours?
1. Phone ~ Blackberry
2. Camera ~ Lumix LX5
3. Sunnies ~ Kate Spade
4. iTouch ~ Apple
5. Wallet ~ Rebecca Minkoff
6. Gum ~ Orbit Wintermint
7. Tape Measure ~ Kravet freebie from a trade show
8. Blotting Papers ~ Paul & Joe
9. Lip Balm ~ Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment
10. Lipstick ~ Chanel Rouge Allure 63
11. Tissues ~ Target
12. Hand Sanitizer ~ Purell
13. Hand Cream ~ L'Occitane
14. Fold-up Shopping Bag ~ Envirosax

PURELL IS ALMOST A MUST! So cute, I've always wanted to do a what's in my bag post.
Thanks for stopping by btw ;)
Mine bag is seriously basic but essentially the same idea {but add a magazine or book since I never know when I might have to wait for something}. Those tiny bags are the best - and people always seem surprised when I unfold it for groceries.
You're right about Kim So Yeon, I am always surprised how different some of the actors/actresses look in dramas and in the spreads you show. I'm totally still watching BVS. It's totally insane and I know they added all that stuff to make it a melodrama but still. Two more episodes. :)
Have you seen this? It's really cute. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgVtw2da1BY
Love your wallet, so pretty! Love how it shimmers!! Happy Friday darling girl!! xx
love your wallet, sunglasses and itouch, even by peeking inside your bag we can get that you like cute and classy pieces
I'm a regular nosy parker so it's great to take a peek into your bag. Everything's so neat and tidy. You should've seen my current bulging wallet.....
Your bag essentials are just what it should be...essentials. My bag, on the other hand, carries my entire life!
Wow those are some great things you have in your bag! My bag weighs about 15lbs and you have inspired me to dump and clean. xoxo A-
You are putting me to shame with this post. Your bag contents are so pretty and organised and relevant! Mine is a chaotic, useless jumble that weighs as much as a small child. You've inspired me, too!

Love this post! You have such a succinct bag - I have far too much clutter (two pairs of sunglasses, plethora uncapped pens, three wallets...). Thanks for inspiring me to de-clutter mine! :)

I can't myself: I just love these peeks into someone's purse. Haha. Lovely items, and I'm with you on the reusable bag and hand sanitizer as must-haves.
seeing items lined up so neatly secretly delights me
You're still so organized!! As a mom, I also keep a mini-medi kit: band-aids, a nail clipper, mini emery board and pain relievers. Of course, the sanitizer and tissues, too.
ohh Paul and Joe! how I love thee!! :D and your sunglasses are so pretty too
Everything in your bag is sooo pretty and perfect sized :)

It's amazing how many things you can carry in your purse!!!!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Besos, desde España, Marcela♥
I'm amazed at how we women carry so much stuff in our bags! I alwsy carry like 2/3 shades of lipgloss, why? I dunno... but I gotta have options right?!
Have a great weekend kitten!
x.o.x.o
you are so neat <3
This is fun! I've a lot of similar stuff, but when you look into my bag it doesn't like as pretty as this by far;) How incredible is that l'Occitane handcream? I gave it as a present several times. Enjoy your weekend!
Love getting a peak inside your bag! Love l'Occitane's hand cream myself. :)
Have a great weekend! xoxo
Very inspirational blog Ro! Mine has almost similar (surprise, surprise...) even to the camera but as you already know, I went with black instead of white, a little regret I must say =] I love L'Occitane handcream but recently, I'm into Jurlique hand cream as well so naturally, I carry both. I'm no longer carry my iPod Touch because I use Google Music from my HTC Android instead, feel like I'm saving storage space but I carry Samsung Galaxy 7.7 tablet so even more weight & space taken although we drive out here in the West Coast, easier to justify carry a kitchen sink with me. Oh, and I have no idea why I carry a big makeup pouch when I usually only reach for gloss and Shiseido blotting paper.
Wow your bag is full of pretty things! Mine would not look like this, it would be receipts all over the place.. ha.
XO,
Erin

i like orbit and carry a pack with me all the time!
the foldable shopping bag is so cute and smart. i wanna get one for myself, but i wonder if that is such a good idea...lol
I wish my bag looked so neat, I carry around everything but the kitchen sink haha. Your Itouch case is too cute.
nice to see another blackberry user...we seem to be a dying breed, lol! love the loccitane hand cream.
[oomph.]
That Loccitane hand cream is the best hey!?

Everything in your bag is so great. I wish my bag looked neat, but it's difficult !
L'Occitane, these products are so great.
I love posts like these, its always so interesting seeing what other bloggers hide in their handbags. Your wallet is so pretty, love the P&J blotting papers and the hand lotion. Geez, your bag is sooo neat! How do you do it?
Hey, your bag is the 2nd 1 that I'm peeking into! =)
There are 3 things we have which is similar.. 1. I'm using a blackberry too! 2. I've a L'Occitane hand cream too and in lemon citrus. 3. A recycle bag which comes in handy for grocery shopping too =) Last but not least I'm sure it's the wallet =)
I carry one of those folding bags everywhere too. They come so much in handy.

hehe nice, we'VE BEEn planning to do this shot too for so long but haven't gotten around to it but glad you did =) xoxo
wow the fold up shopping bag is a nice idea!!! very efficient :D
I love that you have Orbit gum in your bag! I just tried their newest flavor--I actually can't remember what it was called. It was something berry-flavored and it was SO GOOD.

[your everyday girl,
writing about guys]
the contents in your bag seem pretty neat and organized compared to mind. i've got so much junk that I keep in my make-up bag that it's kinda scary - it's prepped for all types of emergencies!!

the goodies inside your bag are so pretty! blotting paper is definitely a must-have for me. I sometimes wonder how I ever survived the embarrassment of an oily face before I started leaving it in my bag lol! and the metallic wallet is just gorgeous <3

I always have my camera - never know when the perfect photo op should arise, but I tend to carry waaay too much stuff...ugh!
A nice sneak peek into your bag! Everything looks so pretty and clean :D I carry all kinds of rubbish in my bag...a lot of screwed up bits of paper too...I need to clean it out! And everything I put in my bag ends up covered in pen marks because I put lots of pens in my bag thinking I don't have one. Oh nightmare.....
dear this post is so cool! i can see we almost the same stuff inside your bag except mine is compose most of baby stuff hehehe. your photo is very neat and i really love this post :)
xoxo, Haus of Gala
I always love these posts! You have some great stuff inside your bag Rowena! I use L'Occitane hand lotion. It's REALLY good! I've got to try that Fresh lip balm treatment. Hope you're having an amazing weekend. :D
http://www.averysweetblog.com/
Really love what's in your bag! What is your bag though? ;)
I've been wanting to do one of these for the bag I use when I'm not in school (basically not my backpack hahaha). I only carry a couple things too but I thought I might as well do one :D
I love your blog!! cute cute cute!!! very relaxing and inspirational!
I also have the same silver wallet ;)
http://www.theguayabaproject.com/
I'm the same way- I also don't carry around much! A lip-balm, lipstick, hand-sanitizer, phone, and a wallet usually does it :)
I adore your little collection and Apple cover!
Good luck!

Great post! I love peeking into other people's bags. Love your silver wallet!
I love that what's inside your bag is colour coordinated... now I'm just wondering what fabulous bag you put it all into! I never go anywhere without many of the same items (apart from the eco-bag, which I'm going to add!)
I loved peaking into your bag! You have such fun stuff!
xo
Sharon
your bag looks so organized!!

I carry a recyclable bag inside my bag too. I love your Rebecca Minkoff wallet, her style is amazing!
I shudder to think what the contents of my bag look like when laid out - not nearly so pretty as yours that's for certain!
I absolutely love the trench coat in you previous post - gorgeous!
Hugs, Stephie x
how do your photos always come out so clear and amazing. I love when you do these kind of posts, especially the mittens one. that was cute
I have not ever done one of these posts...it's part of fear due to the Chinese Saying, "you cannot show your gold," you know which one I am talking about hehe? Anyways, you are like me, a minimalist!
I wish I could be so organized with my bag! I can't even blame it on having a child bc my purse has always been a catch-all mess. It's just that nowadays I find little things like crayons, crackers, a juice box and a random barbie shoe mixed in with everything else I usually carry:)
Thanks for stopping by, I love your sunnies and iTouch case. (:
i'm curious - why tape measure? lol. i need to do my own post like this one of these days!! it's been long overdue. D:
lovely bag essentials:)
