Fashion Forward Friday [V. 21]: What’s In My Bag, Winter Edition

It’s been a year since I’ve posted a What’s In My Bag. When I started my Fashion Forward Friday Series it was the first installment (Click HERE for that). Well, I love sharing what’s in my bag and when looking at my initial post, the contents are pretty much the same. I thought I’d still share anyway.

The purse that I am currently using is a Liz Claiborne Drawstring Bucket Bag from JCPenny. I posted it in my ‘Happy HAULidays’ post (Click HERE for that), I got my bag in black which is what I needed, an everyday black bag.

No need to go in depth with everything as most of what’s in my bag are self-explanatory,.I will say, I always need to have pens and paper to jot down blogging ideas and other thoughts I have throughout the day. I prefer to write than take notes in my phone.

Looking closer into my ‘lippie bag’, I chose to uses  clear bag from one of my bag sets so I could see everything. I have a mirror, translucent powder, a brush, and  mascara. I use the translucent powered to make the OCC lip tar stay on longer. As for my three lip colors (click the links to lead directly to product):

I will be doing a review on both the OCC and Tarte lippies that I received in the Sephora, ‘Give Me More Lip, set. Stay tuned for that,

Usually there’s more junk such as lose papers and what not, but since I just got the bag and I’ve been using it for less than a month it’s pretty clean.

FASHION FORWARD FRIDAY [V.4] — Sammy Dress Review

Image

 

I had been hearing mixed reviews on Sammy Dress all over YouTube and after watching numerous Sammy Dress hauls from on of my favs, RavenEylse, I decided to go browse the site and see if there was anything I wanted to buy. First off I was looking to see if I could score any shoes being how inexpensive they were, BUT there were none in a size 10 and I was not about to take a chance and buy something a size too small so I was bummed about that. I did end up finding two things that caught my eye. Quick disclaimer: I do not own any of the rights to the pictures from SammyDress.Com. Only pictures with MMF2014 are my own.

Fashion Forward Friday [V.1] : What’s In My Bag?

I see a lot of YouTubers do the oh so common, ‘What’s In My Bag’ tag so I decided to start of my Fashion Forward Friday series with the tag. I can’t take full credit for the name. I got it from one of my FAVORITE YouTubers, TheSocialiteLife.

So here’s a look at what’s in my bag. My bag is from Old Navy and I got it last winter. I couldn’t find the exact style I have online, but here’s a similar style.

Now let’s get into what’s inside. For starters I always have my water bottle. I’m not too particular on the ‘brand’ of water, just as long as it’s not Nestle. I also ALWAYS keep vaseline in my front zipper pocket for easier access.

Next up is my wallet and coin purse (apologies if image is too dark). My wallet is from Ebay and is Betsy Johnson and my coin purse was a gift and is fro Coach.

I always have some type of headphones and a charger (usually to both my iPad & phone). My headphones are from 5 below. YES, 5 BELOW! I don’t feel the need to spend a lot on headphones. I must say that these pump out a lot of sound, especially bass and this is my first new pair in a year.

My ‘makeup’ bag really doesn’t contain much makeup. I commute to work and if my friends want to go out after I usually have a few more lip colors in here. I have makeup, I just don’t wear it. I’m more of a lipstick hoarder. My bag was a Christmas gift and I’m in love. I keep a travel size lotion and body spray in ‘Beautiful Day‘, my ‘monthly goodies’ in the leopard pouch and in the clear pouch, right now, all I have is a lipstick (Revlon Lip Butter – Fig Jam), silver hoop earrings, and my Sephora light up mirror.

I carry this journal around to track down my ‘happy thoughts’ which I use for my Motivational Monday series. I love to have a pen and paper with me at all times and this book has been a lifesaver and I can’t wait to share more of my thoughts with you.

I keep my phone in the front zipper pouch as well and I have an iPhone 5 with a WildFlower case, Leopard Gold Studded.Yes these cases are expensive, $35 a pop, but the quality is AMAZING and I do recommend if you want a little splurge.

Last but not least is my most prized possession, and a huge investment, my 13-inch Macbook Pro. This was a graduation gift to myself this past Spring and I could not be happier. Although I mentioned I have an iPad, I interchange between the two on which I lug around at the moment. My case is from Amazon if anyones interested.

Well, I hope you enjoyed! Leave comments on what’s your bag essentials.
