What’s In My Bag: Spring 2009

What kind of car do you drive? I have the exact same key

Lor: VW Jetta!

You forgot to mention the pill in mouth stickers!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that Louis Vuitton wallet!

I took a photo just for you. I needed to clean it out anyways.
I use a Tory Birch tote lately. It is working well for my throw and go life lately. Not pictured is my netbook. I don’t know why I forgot to include it as it goes with me lately.

I love that even your Stabilo is black and white!

I like your MiuMiu bag A LOT.

I like big black bags in general.

I never know exactly what’s in my bag…I definitely belong to the people who have a very low level of organisation

nubbyyyy need your help. as a fellow miumiu devotee, im really growing concerned for the health of my bags. i carry mine for everything.. how do YOU take care of yours?

ps- welcome back, goddess!

I was going to ask what car you have too! Would I be right to guess it’s red though? Hehe. My bag is a mess at the moment, I can’t wait to finish my finals and sort it out. It really is an extension of what’s going on in your brain – when I’m stressed, it gets really messy.

Holla! I always wanted to do this!! You’ve inspired me:

I also have a giant black leather purse (BCBG – gorgeous!) which is large enough to hold my 13″ MacBook. I love not having to lug around a separate laptop case, and think my purse is a perfectly sized bag. Everyone else thinks it is HUGE. I don’t get it…how does anyone get around with a teeny tiny bag?

hillary: You’re so thoughtful! I like your Tory Burch, she has some great stuff. I’ve been wanting one of her little resin clutches for ages.

abbee: This is actually my first ‘big black bag’ and now I wonder how I lived without it! As much as I love my white ones, they’re impossible to keep clean.

grace: Up close, mine are pretty beat up. I have four in constant rotation and they still have smudges, scrapes and pen marks! I was told that leather cleaner for FURNITURE works really well and I used some and it’s true! Can’t remember the brand. I’m sure that someone out there will say that this is a big no-no but I haven’t found anything better.

Helen: My fave color is actually green and I’ve always had green Jettas! Dark green….though if I had a cute classic car, it would def. be red!

Bridget: Nice job! Thanks for sharing, that’s awesome of you to put in the effort to show us your contents.

Lesley Denford: If you’re busy and have to carry a laptop, there’s no way around the big bag. I was carrying two bags at all times and it’s much easier to have one massive one. Plus, designer purses are way more stylish than dorky laptop bags!!!

I adore your bag, & the fact that all your stuff matches! I’m currently lusting after several Miu Miu bags myself.

I love your Y-mail wallet! It has a very travel-like feel to it! I wonder if they are still out there in the market….

It’s all so beautifully laid out and colour-coordinated!

Nubby – is the silver/chrome Marc Jacobs compact mirror a special edition? They only seem to have the red one on the website.

I love how your stuff is always so coordinated and stylized! I’m envious! As for my bag, it’s a black satin-y tote with a gold robot on the front and pale gold lining. I have a big black wallet, a little skull makeup bag I hold pills and lotion and a nail file and other junk in. sunglasses (essential), ipod, digital camera, a bus schedule, a reusable target bag and a mini file folder. I’ve always wanted to do one of these photo things where you photography everything in your bag… For some reason, I never have.

B: I’m pretty sure they are. The complete line was still available when I visited the YSL boutique in Honolulu 2 months ago.

didi: I originally had the red one also but it broke! I bought both the red and silver versions at the Marc by Marc store in the West Village.

your style is so freakin’ rad …lol. I use an Aldo Red pleather rectangular tote. Inside Ive got my red Club Rochelier leather wallet, my Jackie O Oleg Cassini sunglasses, keys, pink comb, tic tacs, Kleenex packet, yellow highlighter pen, Chanel compact, Burt’s Bees lip chap, Covergirl Outlast lipstain, my mp3 player, a pen, a pencil, an eraser(it’s exam time) and my cell phone. Yes, I carry around way too much stuff.

Where did you get your Lolita business card case? I’ve always loved that cover!

Heather-Victoria: I found it at a cute little shop in Seattle called Lipstick Traces 10 years ago!

I just got a new bag so it’s not full of junk like my old one! My old one was just this huuuuge Topshop one but the zip busted :,(

I didn’t mourn for long cos my shiny new black Marc Jacobs Stam bag arrived in the post a few days later! All I have in it now is my pencil case (whats in my pencil case is a whole other story) house keys, bf’s house keys and a fake but pretty Gucci wallet.

I put an “I believe in Harvey Dent badge” and my pill in mouth badge on there too

I got around to photographing mine!

I totally covet that Miu Miu bag. Is it still available? Where is the best place to buy one?

Sarah: I had to track this model down on Ebay since it was 2 years old. THe Miu Miu boutiques have the best selection.

Thanks for replying, Nubby! What is the name or model number of the bag? Drat! I really like it more than the ones that seem to be available currently.

Sarah: I think it was called the Goddess.

I’m using a denim LV right now, inside it are the following: make up case with make up of course, wallet, comb, cellphone, note pad/pen and house/car keys. by the way, i loooove your miu miu bag.
