I wasn’t sure how I would start this blog. I knew that I wanted it to be an extension from my youtube channel but I wasn’t sure exactly what that meant. Would I post mostly about makeup? Reviews and looks that just didn’t make it to camera? Would I post more personal stories and pictures from my everyday life? I really could decide. But I realized that I would probably do all that and more here.
So how to kick off my first blog post with all that in mind? How about with what’s in my purse!
I think what we keep in our purse can tell a lot about us and I think that is a really great way to start my blog. Some of you have watched my videos on youtube and some of you might stumble across this blog from other places, so I think it is fitting to start with a little more info on me.
So of course we must start with the picture.
This is my purse and everything in it at this time. (Of course I omitted the crumpled receipts and gum wrappers.)
The bag is from Franceca’s. I saw it in the window quite a few times and finally decided to make it mine.
Seems kind of large for an everyday bag, but I’m the type of girl who has to carry her life around so the size suits me just fine. What this picture doesn’t show you is the shoes I cram in here when I have a long day in heels ahead of me or the lunches (and sometimes dinners) that I bring with me to work. As you can guess, I need my everyday bag to go the extra mile for me.
My planner is a must for me. I currently work two jobs, both with varying hours, so this helps me know where I need to be and when. I used this one for my last semester of college and I liked it because there was plenty of space to write my readings and papers and important due dates. But when it comes time to buy a new one, I would like to find something smaller since I won’t need to worry about midterm due dates!
I try to always have a pen with me, this one is orange. What can I say, I like color.
Of course I love my lipgloss and often have more than these three in my purse. I like choices but mostly I never clean out my bag, so one gloss goes in, but none ever seem to come out. I guess I’m a secret goo hoarder. I often swear off purchasing more glosses until I finish some that I already own, but that hasn’t been so successful.
And obviously keys are a must. I try not to be too much of a janitor and keep the keeps to a minimum, but one cute key chain is a must in my book. This one reflects my love of coffee.
My wallet is from coach and it is probably about 7 years old. This is when the Poppy line from coach first came out and I really liked all the colors, at the time it was something very different from what Coach usually did.
Currently I am on the hunt for a new wallet, this one has served me faithfully but it is time for a change.
The red sunglasses are prescription and are from Entourage of 7, which is a boutique line out of LA. I think these glasses are super cool and funky, they feel very 70’s to me.
The black sunglasses are cheapies from target that I wear when I have my contacts in.
And of course my cellphone. Mine is a droid (2 or 3 I can’t remember). I only wish it had the loops for cellphone charms! I want a cute phone!
So that’s what’s in my purse. If this was too much reading for you I made a video! I talk about the same stuff but with more detail, plus you get to meet my puppy!
Hope you all are well! Keep life cute,
Kelly
