it's in the bag

i apologize in advance for the craptastic photography your going to be witnessing in this post

movin' on...

i received an email invitation from ashley of {the hasty life} to participate in "it's in the bag" blog crawl where each participate shares a picture of their bag, the contents of the bag and what the contents say about me as a person. 

so here's my bag... a huge navy blue tote bag i received from my mom from one of her travels. i love how soft it is and the fact that its the perfect size to carry all my stuff. 

1. coach wallet ~ i received this pretty wallet this christmas from my parents! it's lovely and hold everything i need.  

{what it says about me as a person} i have a weakness for coach

2. notebook ~ this is where p&p started. i'm sad that i only have a few pages left in it but this is where i jot down color combination, post ideas and anything else that inspires me throughout the day. 

{what it says about me as a person} i can't remember anything without writing it down

3. usb flash drives ~ a blogger's bff

{what it says about me as a person} i spend way too much time on my computer

4. prada glasses ~ i've worn glasses since the 2nd grade and i couldn't wait until i was old enough to get contacts {me + unflattering 80s glasses = hell} but now i actually prefer to wear them.

{what it says about me as a person} i'm nearsighted 

5. lucky white owl ~ it was a gift from my cousin. in japan the owl is a symbol of academics, wisdom and art. and the white owl brings good luck and happiness. i'll let you know if this little guys works.

{what it says about me as a person} i need all the luck i can get

6. lancome moisturizer ~ feels light on my skin and has spf

{what it says about me as a person} i'm not a fan of wrinkles

7. chapstick ~  it had a label but one day i was stuck waiting in line at the post office during the holidays and i took out my frustrations on the chapstick...sorry lil fella

{what it says about me as a person} duh?  soft lips

8. iphone ~ i make calls, text, web and play way too much angry birds with it. 

{what it says about me as a person} i like to stay connected

9. bath & body works roller perfume ~  its portable and has a nice clean scent.

{what it says about me as a person} i like to smell good

10. pen ~ i've had this pen for years. i'm not a fan of thin point pens and this one allows me to write thick fat words.

{what it says about me as a person} i keep things for way too long but i'm always prepared when i need to sign something

11. lia sophia earrings ~ just in case i need to add some last minute glam.

{what it says about me as a person} i'm an accessory junkie

12. keys ~ i found that large skeleton key at michael's for $1. it reminds me of the keys to my grandparent's house in portugal.

{what it says about me as a person} i drive alot and i secretly want to buy my grandmother's old house and live there. 

13. binder clips ~ i actually found these in a clearance bin at a office supply store and use them to clips my receipts or coupons.

{what it says about me as a person} i'm organized 

14. goody spin pins ~ perfect for a quick updo with out leaving dent marks like elastic bands do.

{what it says about me as a person} i hate when my hair gets in my face :)
