It's in the Bag!

Does anyone else galavant around town with this much stuff or is it just me?! Seriously though.  I am not one to travel light. 

My Necessities?

• Alicia Klein Tour One Wallet (best wallet ever...read past post here)
• Current nail color (in case of needed touch ups)
• Tortoise hair clip a la J. Crew 
• Lip products (gloss, stick, balm, glaze, etc.)
• Koozie
• iPhone charger/extra cases 
• Mini water bottle
• Ibuprofen 
• Hand towlettes
• Mini deodorant
• Tissues
• Gum
• Lens cleaner for sunglasses
• Ear buds 
• Rayban Aviators
• Rayban Clubmasters
• Keys with Lilly needlepoint keyfob 
• Croakies
• Sephora brush/mirror
• Granola bar
• post-it notes
• engraved pen
• Kate Spade pouch with necessities (ex. bandaids, lotion, Pepcid, perfume, bobby pins, Clorox wipes, stain stick, face powder, mascara, etc.) 

Somehow, I manage to fit it all in the Kate Spade New Bond Street bag. See last week's post about what I carry in a clutch for a night out, and see past posts here and here on what I carried in a school tote. I also carry a tote to work that holds my computer, lunch, datebook, rain jacket, etc. What do you carry in your bag? 

Have a fabulous day!

What's in My Tote: Fall 2011 Edition

I did this post around this time last year and I have decided to do it again since I have been getting many requests. Not too much has changed from last year however, since I am living off campus, I usually carry around more than I did last year. I always have my rain gear on me. The weather is usually very cooperative here, however, I don't want to be stuck on campus without rain gear and have the possibility of being wet all day and not have a chance to run home and change. I also always carry my sunglasses with a pair of croakies. I have two pencil cases--they're actually supposed to be makeup brush cases, but they work just as well for pencils/pens, etc. One case has pencils and pens and then the other case has markers and twistable crayons. I know, it sounds like I'm a 5-year-old, however, I am crazy about color-coding things and it's also handy to have when class gets boring. I carry around the Kate Spade wristlet and I use this to throw in my purse. It has everything from lip gloss, to wisps, to bobby-pins and band-aids. Having all of that in one pouch makes it quick and easy to change bags. I always have some sort of snack and it's usually sugary because if I don't eat for a while, I get light headed. I usually carry fruit snacks, Mike 'n Ikes, or Nature Valley Granola Thins. I always have my planner which is a Leatherman planner. Most girls I know use Lilly Planners and while I love the look of them, I get too distracted on each page. The Leatherman option has a very clean and organized layout that I love. I also always carry sticky-notes, hand-sanitizer, orbit gum, note cards, a koozie and my wallet (which I 'll have to do a separate post on because it's the best wallet EVER).

I'm currently using a madras J. Crew tote from several years ago, however, at the end of September, I'll change to a more fall appropriate option. Several things that are not pictured include a book or magazine, my school books and folders (of course), my keys on my J. McLaughlin key chain...

This picture was actually taken this summer but how cute is the needlepoint key fob!

What do you tote to class? What are your necessities? Have a fabulous day!
