What's In YOUR Bag?

Honestly, I don't know how men do it. They walk through life with everything they need in their pockets! If I were a guy I'd definitely be one that carries a man bag everywhere I go.

Us women tend to be very picky about the bag that we carry. We truly believe that we can determine a lot about a woman's personality by her choice of hand bag. But I believe that you can tell a lot more about a woman's personality by what she carries inside of her bag.


Here is the bag I am carrying at this moment. It's a TALBOTS purchase from about four years ago. I just love the flowers and butterfly motif.
And here is what I carry in my bag.

If you must know, I have a lipstick/lipgloss fetish. I have tried in the past to be more of a minimalist, but somehow I always end up with about twelve different lip things in my bag! So I decided to just accept myself for who I am and carry a separate little cosmetic bag for all my lipsticks and glosses. This way they aren't just scattered all over the bottom of my bag and I don't get frustrated when I am trying to find the one that I want.


Contents of my handbag are: lipstick cosmetic bag with ten to twelve different lipsticks and glosses carried in it at a time, a mini lint roller, a package of Keelenx, a small brush, a translucent powder by Rimmel, an extra key to my car, my Gucci wallet that I found on ebay about 13 years ago, my i phone, and my business card holder that holds not only my own business cards, but many others as well. You never know when you might meet someone who needs a service that someone you know could provide them. It's called networking.


I also carry another bag to work. A larger style tote bag by Lauren Merkin. In it I carry my lunch and many little snacks (not pictured). I always need a little notebook to write down my thoughts and priorities. I also use a folder to carry important documents to and from work. I carry two pens with highlighters on each end and I always have two or more waters on hand. You never know when someone might be choking and need one! I also always carry a comfy pair of shoes, so I can change into them when my feet begin to scream at me.  I carry the matching Lauren Merkin clutch inside the bag. You never know when you might get asked to dinner! 


What are you toting around with you these days? If you don't have a pretty bag for spring, now is the time to get one!
And any time is a good time to get organized :)

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
