What's In Elle's Bag?

The uh, contents of my bag. Excitement!!!11one

I currently have 317 blog drafts sittin' in the ole Edit Posts section, 52 ideas on my phone, 7 on my paper notepad, and 1 I just found on a napkin. And one of those ideas is the old stand-by; What's In My Bag? I can't believe I've never done one of these (I've done my Carry On, Summer Beauty Bag, Autumn Beauty Bag posts before). I GUARANTEE to have at least something you don't. Ok, maybe not. I like aubergine--have a drink every time I mention that color. It's time to play WHAT'S IN ELLE'S BAG!

ROW 1:
  • The striped case from F21 holds oil blotting sheets in the spring/summer and tissues in the fall/winter.
  • My teeny LV wallet from a trip to Paris
  • A pen for ideas or writing addresses on packages (the aubergine notepad is in my car...I hope)
  • Hand sanitizer...always...random: I had this brand that smells like FROOT LOOPS but can't find it. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
  • EOS lip balm...or I use Softlips
  • Purse hanger; tacky but it works!
ROW 2:
  • New Trent charger--it charges anything with a USB cord! A lifesaver!
  • Mint/floss/toothpick holder
  • Aubergine business card holder--also great for holding ID/card/cash for the occasional Night Out
  • Bliss hand cream
  • Le Gloss by L'Oreal...it smells/tastes/feels good
  • Hair clip that I don't like 
ROW 3:
  • DIY solid perfume--random fact: I've put this right under my nose for those stinky cab/subway rides
  • Odor Away drops--because using public bathrooms makes me nervous, and uh, trust me, these drops work.
  • Ipod--this case is on my Christmas Wishlist
  • Droid Bionic--with an aubergine (ok, purple) case. I love my Droid and don't want an Iphone. Don't hate! ;)
  • Germx Soft Wipes--because hand sanitizer isn't enough
AND NOW FOR MY TWO FAVORITE LUCKY ITEMS OF ALL TIME...
  • My Lil Sis gave me this yellow butterfly hair clip when she was 3. I don't know why. You don't ask these things of a 3 yr old. You just say thanks. She's 16 now, thinks she's all grown and ish, but when she laughs it still sounds like she's 3. When I miss her, I look at the clip. And then call/text her obnoxiously until she answers ;)
  • My Lil Bro asked my Mama for a quarter at the gas station when he was 5. "I want to get a present for Nan (my family nickname)," he said matter-of-factly. He went to one of those quarter (are they still a quarter?) toy/gumball machines and out came a plastic ball with 3 pairs of earrings. I carry these teeny earrings to remind me of how close we were when he was little. I miss that. He's 21 now; taller than me, a man, a Daddy, and an almost-husband, but he'll always be my sweet baby brother.
What crazy items do you have in your purse/bag?

    i've never done it either, so you're not alone ;) i think you are well prepared with the things you carry!

    about your question of the language in Spain.. well, my first language is Spanish, so I understood perfectly what they were saying!! hehe their Spanish is a bit different from mine, but it's like every culture, right?

    Love it. I'm afraid my bag post would be too boring. I'm old school and still carry a planner! That and a wallet and some lip balm are about all that is in my bag. And yet it still feels like it weighs 200lbs...

    Ooh, your LV Wallet is adorable!

    I keep Marc by Marc Jacobs Lipstick Pens in my handbag - they are actual writing pens made to look like red lipstick tubes. LOVE! :)

    Impressive posts-in-waiting list! I can only manage to stay a day or two ahead! But a post about my purse would probably be hilarious.. toddler undies, trains, matchbox cars, pacificers...o and a wallet. Love the stories about your siblings!

    If I posted the contents of my purse, one would see 100 receipts. Why I hold on to receipts so long is a huge mystery.

    I need to organize clearly!

    You have such a well organized and prepared purse. I inevitably have a notepad without a pen, three chapsticks but no lotion, etc. Definitely need to check out the blotter paper case and that Trent charger, since mine is falling apart!

    Besides a million receipts that need to be tossed I have several tubes of lipgloss, baby mum mum crackers, tissues, and random pairs of earrings. How or why I put them in my purse is beyond me!
