A handbag is a personal expression of yourself. We thought we’d share what each of us has in our bag so you can get to know us a little better.
Carrie’s bag
K – Boy do we both carry a lot of crap in our bag! Did you get a new LV bag?
C – Ummmmm… Maybe! Hubby has an obsession with Louis! Not that I’m complaining!
K – So what’s up with the banana?
C – (Laughing) I always carry a banana in my purse in case I get hungry! I’m always hungry!
K- Wet Ones
C- I’m always spilling shit on myself in the car!
K- Altoids & gum, OK I get it.
K-Is that another new LV wallet?
C -Ummm…….. maybe!
K – Oh I like those readers!
C – I’ve got 15 more at home if you need a pair!
K – Is your car starter just a fob or do you need to actually turn a key? I have a love/hate relationship with my fob. I love how easy they are to use, but then I hate that I can never find my apartment keys because I just need my fob!
C – I love my fob!
K – I love Magnolia Journal!
C – Me too! I just went to Magnolia Farms a couple weeks ago with some friends. And a little “mom brag” there’s a house featured in here that my daughter worked on!
K – I’m dying to ask – what is that lipstick and what is the shade?
C – Ha! Not really a lipstick, but more of a lip moisturizer. Burts Bees Glossy #517 Pink Pool
K – I can’t go anywhere these days without lotion – do you love that one?
C – I’m always just grabbing random small purse size ones whenever I see them. 🙂
K – What is that Galleria thing?
C – It’s a compact mirror. See above, I love the Galleria and I really love my hubby!!
K – Well, last but not least, Bud Lite. I get this, but I know you will definitely need to explain that for everyone!
C – Well, I usually don’t carry one at all times, but I knew I was going to your place and you never have beer for me!
Kari’s bag
C – I love that bag! It’s a great Fall color. What kind is it?
K – Thanks! It’s a Tory Burch. I really like Hobo style bags. Even though you know, why not dig around at the bottom of your bag for everything?!
C – Girl, how many lipstick do you have in there??? Do you own lipstick stock or what?
K – I really should own stock! Seriously though, I never count how many I have. I just grab and throw them in my bag and before you know it I have something like 15 or maybe in 25 in there! But who’s counting! And I’m obsessed with my Sara Happ lip balm.
C – Cool wallet, I like the color. Is it new?
K – It’s a Tory Burch. Is there a theme here? It’s not new, but I do love how it holds everything.
C – Oh, I like those sunglasses! Are they the only pair you own?? Just kidding, I helped you organize your closet, remember?!
K – These are Rag & Bone, but OK I kind of do have an obsession. Not quite as bad as my lipstick obsession, but I swear it’s getting there! I got these at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Which BTW is the best time to buy designer sunglasses!
C – So what kind of hand lotion is that?
K – By Terry. I love the light rose scent it has. But it doesn’t smell like your granny’s rose scented stuff. This is more fresh.
C – Why the notebook in your bag?
K – Because I’m old and forgetful! LOL! No, I am always on the go and my mind goes 100 mph and sometimes I just need to stop and write things down. And honestly, look at how damn cute this Sugar Paper notebook is! They have THE best papers!
C – I love that scarf, where is it from?
K – It’s an Ann Taylor one from last season. I like to add a scarf to many of my handbags for a little pop of color. OK I’m getting sick of that saying “little pop of color”, but it’s really true that it does do that.
C – Why do you have that bottle of Pellegrino in your bag?
K – Same reason you have beer!



Now that was just too amusing!!
Actually, you would think that the beer would have been the strangest and I probably shouldn’t admit this but I used to carry a pint of Vodka with me…because you just never know!
After I read this I actually looked in my bag and had 11 lipstick/glosses/tints. I actually found a few that I have been looking for.
I am actually obsessed with Etienne Aigner and have been since I was a teenager so every season I get a new one.
Thanks for such an uplifting post!
