What's in My Bag August Edition

It's only been a few months since my last "What's in My Bag" post, but I couldn't resist participating in this week's IFB Project, which requests a look inside bloggers' bags. There is something irresistible about peeking inside other people's bags (with permission, of course), and there are so many lovely posts to browse this week.

Currently, I am toting around a much abused Butler Bag by Jen Groover for Avon. I keep meaning to replace it with a nice leather satchel, but I've grown rather attached to the roomy Butler Bag with its built in storage. Sadly, my bag is on its last leg, so I think I'll be buying that satchel pretty soon.

Inside is my rotating stash of essentials:

• Luna bar in White Chocolate Macadamia
• Tissues
• Book - this week's selection is The Pemberley Chronicles by Rebecca Ann Collins
• Avon Moisture Therapy Intensive hand lotion
• MAC Blot Powder Pressed
• Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss SPF 15 in Pina Chillada
• MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Ravishing
• Mark Save The Day Anti-Acne Concealer Stick
• Carmex Strawberry lip balm
• Blackberry
• Gap sunglasses
• Keys with various gadgets
• Pens and pencil
• Small notebook
• EcoTools coupon

Somehow my Fossil wallet didn't make it into the picture - must be feeling camera shy due to lack of funds, but I assure you I do carry one.

So, what's in your wallet... er, bag?

What's In My Bag Spring Edition

Just a quick video about the things I am carrying around this spring. For a chance to win a Louis Vuitton Speedy (who doesn't want one, right?), visit Elle Fowler (AllThatGlitters21) or Blair Fowler (juicystar07).

What's In My Bag

I love reading other bloggers' "what's in my bag" posts, yet I've never done one myself. After reading bag posts by Cafe Fashionista and All Lacquered Up, I decided it was time to do one myself.

The Bag - Avon Butler Basics Organizer Bag

I have had this bag over a year. It's survived trips to Chicago and days on set and has managed to not fall apart - pretty impressive for a cheap handbag. The best part about this bag is the compartment tray on the bottom because there is a place to put everything.

The Tech Gear - TomTom GPS and BlackBerry Curve

I would be lost without my GPS, and my BlackBerry is great for staying connected when I'm on the go.

The Beauty Goods - MAC Blot Powder, Sigma mirror, Avon hand lotion and Bug Guard, Nic's Sticks, Victoria Secret's sanitizing hand gel, Victoria Secret's lip gloss, GAP lip balm, Carmex lip balm, MAC Slimshine Lipstick, Conair foldable brush, tissues, Colgate Wisp

Just the basics so I can touch up when I am away from home. I can never have enough lip balm and lip gloss with me, so my lip stash is constantly changing.

The Miscellaneous - Fossil wallet, H&M sunglasses, ila Dusk Personal Alarm, playing cards, notepad, pen, candy, book

I am a big believer in cheap sunglasses because I am always breaking mine. H&M is my favorite place to shop for trendy sunglasses. I always have a book or magazine with me, and I am currently reading Patrick O'Brian's Post Captain from the Master and Commander series.
