It's What's In The Bag


gifted Brahmin Trina Tote.  Row Sunglasses.  gifted Proenza Schouler Key Chain.  Louis Vuitton Wallet.  

Being the photo fanatic that I am, I snapped a few pictures while packing up my bag for the day. I enjoy capturing my "mini moments," and I hope you enjoy them too


A few things of note...

1. I'm completely smitten with my new snakeskin drawstring tote! It's especially roomy and has quickly proved to be my ideal everyday bag and beyond perfect for spring.  
2. Two current lip favorites include: Malin + Goetz mojito lip balm and the all natural ILIA lip conditioner in a pretty sheer nude.  
3. Random Fact: I always carry tea bags with me and mint green tea is my afternoon pick me up of choice.

Yep that bag is great and big enough. I love a big bag but my 'What's In the Bag' post would have to be a lot longer that's for sure with the amount of junk I'd be carrying around in it, haha! :)

I can see why you love that bag - it's perfect! I carry around a white tea/green tea blend in my purse now too (especially in the cold weather, it is perfect)! :)

I have found the regular Bigelow green tea to be a bit bland to me, but the mint variety sounds so much better. I also love the starbucks mint tea... it is delicious (and I like the pouch tea bags a little better than the regular paper ones. Thanks for showing us what's in your bag!

This bag is GORGEOUS! The nude with the snakeskin is such a gorgeous combination, I love it! And love that you carry green tea with you! My favorite kind only comes unwrapped in a canister so I have to carry mine in ziploc bags! Less cute!

I always carry tea bags with me, too–it started after I was auditioning all over the country and couldn't count on anyone to have my favorite tea! These days I love Harney & Sons Paris and Whole Foods' peppermint!

Your bag is beautiful, I`m impressed at how minimalistic you kept everything! I carry around a lot more trash and stupid things, that I really don`t need.

i keep tea at my desk at work! it stops me from stopping down at the cafe for rice krispy treats sometimes :)

Jen said...

Thanks for the little peek into your bag, Alicia! You seem like a minimalist when packing it, which is a good reminder for me to clean out all those receipts and random things at the bottom of mine haha. And the bag is beautiful... looking forward to see how you will wear it. Will we be anticipating some animal print mixing in the near future?! :)

Have a lovely evening!

This makes me want to a) reorganize my mess of a handbag and b) get a new one all together, as well as some new shades. So thank you in both a sincere and sarcastic tone :)

Gorgeous bag! What shade ILIA lip conditioner is that?! Must. Have.

Leesh said...

You barely carry anything in your bag. I did a post today on what's in my bag and my bag is like a luggage compared to yours.

Sarah Forslund said...

Perfect bag! Mint tea is my choice as well, you never know when you might need it!
