Inside Out

I've always had a strange curiosity for what women keep in their purses.  Since I house almost everything in my bag (evidenced here), it could be my subconscious wondering if other ladies tote around just as much as I do.  My guess is yes, but I would love to meet the woman who can carry all of her daily essentials in just a small clutch!

In honour of all that clutters our handbags, I've thrown together the first installment of "Inside Out": a look at what currently resides in my favourite purse (I have left out the gum wrappers and loose change, but picture them somewhere in the mix!). Stay tuned for more chapters of "Inside Out" that will give you a sneak peak at what some of our most stylish friends keep inside their pocketbooks.

Bag: Céline

Clockwise from top (kinda, sorta):

1. Pouch: Spring Come, Rain Fall;

On a hilarious and related note, I found the "What's in your purse?" photo I took for my supremely embarrassing LiveJournal back in 2005.  Oh, how I've evolved.  Check it out:

Who loves a blurry photo?

And the text..."Clockwise from left: sunglasses, "Barbie" compact mirror, iPod mini, pen from Novotel (hotel) in Ottawa during CANIMUN, AE wallet, Carmex lip balm, "Black Jack" black licorice gum (not recommended), cell phone (with hot picture of me and Delmeds*), keys and swipe-card for my condo and 60 Newton, and...new purse from Urban Outfitters (p.s. Delmeds you have to do this...do it, do it!)."


*Delmeds is best friend, Alana, who also had an embarrassing LiveJournal!

Gotta love throwbacks!
