1. What must you
always, always have in your bag (besides the obvious)?
My lips
could not live without some sort of lip balm.
That “eos” egg is my new favorite.
2. What is the most
random thing you carry in your bag?
I’d say the most
random item in there would be not one but two pairs of earbuds. Why do I have two pairs
in my purse? I have no idea. It’s just that random.
3. Do you prefer a
small purse, or a large one?
I’m more a medium
purse kind of gal. If the bag is too big, I lose things in a mysterious fashion rivaling the
Bermuda Triangle. I also can’t handle a
double strap purse because one or both straps always seem to be falling off my
shoulder. This one is perfect for me because it’s a cross body style which I
find quite comfortable.
4. Do you change
your purse with your outfit, or wear one for a "season"?
I am such an
atypical girl in this arena because I wear one purse PERIOD. I think a purse is a
wonderful, stylish
accessory, but I just can’t fathom changing the stuff in and out of it every
time I wear a different outfit or the season changes. I keep it simple and go neutral so that
my purse
works with anything I wear. And this
gray shade is perfect to do just that.
Doc (my boyfriend who gave me the purse) has great taste, doesn’t
he?
5. Does your wallet
have to match the bag?
Not at all. I’m
of the philosophy that black goes with absolutely
everything!
It’s
been a treat to spend some time here on The Small Things Blog and share all the
ins and outs of my purse with you.

Enjoy the rest of your day, and whatever
purse you wear, may you always find your keys, your favorite lip balm, and your
ringing cell phone.
I love this series! I've also been seeing the elf lip gloss everywhere lately! I will have to investigate!
ReplyDeleteIt's AH-MAZING! Works so well! And it's only a dollar-three dollars! Even better!
DeleteAllyson makes me feel better about being a one-purse gal. I use the same one until it looks like something I found on the side of the road. I bought a new one last night and don't know when I'll have the heart to change it out!
ReplyDeleteAllyson, I'm a one purse girl too! I've been carrying my current purse for almost a year. Lately I've been thinking it's time for a new one, but like you said, don't want to change everything out! Thanks for the post!
ReplyDeleteKate, love this series! So fun!
Kate, this series is such fun! And I carry one purse until it falls apart too so it's nice to know I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteI switch out purses but I dont buy new ones very often. I pack one for like 6 months or so and then switch to one I already have. If I buy a new one its because I find one I love and its usually Vera Bradley!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun series, really enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteLove this series! I love seeing that I'm not the only one who has some kinda weird things in her bag!
ReplyDeleteLove this series!! I'm going to have to post my purse contents on my blog now because I just looove this and have got to join in the fun :)
ReplyDeleteBest,

I only buy one strap purses too, for the exact same reason. I HATE the feeling of a strap that keeps falling down. Drives me crazy. I also don't change out my purses often, although I have quite a lot of them.
ReplyDeleteLove this Allyson. I think a "what's in your fridge" series could be interesting too, haha!
ReplyDeleteI like that bag! Looks super versatile, but still polished. I love crossbody bags. I rarely switch mine out, either. It's just a pain! I have a little wristlet that I'll use independently sometimes, though.

Funny we're talking about the frequency we change out our bags. I LOVE bags but also hate having to dump everything out and move it to a new purse. I recently wrote on my blog about a purse organizer I got that has made this process (and my life!) a lot simpler! I highly recommend one!
ReplyDeleteI love these posts! Keep bringing them Kate!! <3
ReplyDeleteKate, where have you been this week?!
ReplyDeleteI have the 'egg' too and I'm obsessed with it!!
ReplyDeleteThis purse series has been really fun. What have I learned? I carry A LOT in my purse. Minimum 22 lipsticks at any given time. Options, girls.
ReplyDeleteI really love this fun little series you have going on! I am intrigued with things like this for some reason. :) Does that me I am a snoopy person. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this series! It has inspired me to organize my purse a little because I would be mortified for anyone to look into it the way it was. I want to see what Amanda at the blog http://www.werdyab.com/ has in her purse. :)
ReplyDeleteYay recipe ranger!! love to see the crossover on the different blogs!
ReplyDeleteI think you should see what is in different people's purses in different cities! Wouldn't that be interesting??
I volunteer for New York! ;)
