It has been a really long time since I have shared what is in my bag. That's probably because my bag is usually filled with receipts and extra Subway napkins for nose blowing emergencies. The napkins are for nose blowing, not the receipts. I thought I better clear that up.
Today I thought I would share what I typically carry in my purse and soon I will show you what has been in my camera bag recently.
1. The purse itself :: I get a lot of questions about where I got this purse and people are always disappointed when I tell them it was thrifted. The colour is one of my favourites and it is the perfect size for everyday use.
2. Headphones :: These live in my purse just in case I find myself in need of music while I'm on a walk.
3. Bottle opener :: You never know when you might need a bottle opener. I'm pretty sure Ivan recently snuck this into my purse.
4. iPhone with my fancy new iconemesis Kitty Pattern case :: I am gathering quite the collection of cat cases. Thank you iconemesis for sending me this one! I absolutely love it.
5. Candy :: This candy came from our favourite sushi restaurant Go Tempura. They are so nice there and always tell us to take extra candy.
7. Notebook :: Super awesome notebook from a super awesome friend. I start all entries with "Diane..." (kidding)
8. Pen :: This is definitely a pen. Everytime I post a photo of this pen at least one person thinks it is a pregnancy test. Ha!
9. Blog business cards :: For all my blog bidness.
10. Wallet :: Really this is more of a change purse but it holds everything. I made this for myself quite a long time ago and I was too lazy to sew up the bottom so it is held together with a diaper pin from when I was a baby!
11. Bobby pins :: These are for picking locks. Ok, maybe they are just for my hair.
In case you would like a better look at my phone case (because it is totally awesome) here it is...
You really can't beat a cat party, especially one drawn by Gemma Correll. iconemesis was nice enough to send me this one but if you want to pick one up for yourself they are offering a 20% discount with the code ICON220.
Want to show me your bag and what's in it?

"Totally awesome" seems to be huge understatement, that iPhone case is just mindblowing perfection! I love it<3
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this post too, and your purse haha. Can't wait to see what's in your camera bag!

Oh dang that phone case is so cute! I'm honestly thinking of getting an iPhone once I'm due for an upgrade so I can have cute cases!
ReplyDeleteCute cats!! :D
ReplyDeleteI wish they were painted in a wall of our home studio (which is imposible because it is totally a mess, but it would be funny anyway).
Love your blog Elycia.
Sorry for my bad english.
It's so cute that your nails match your phone :)
ReplyDeleteI DO love your party cat phone. Have you seen the Party Cat comic series? http://nedroidcomics.livejournal.com/222317.html
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that iPhone case is freaking awesome! I'm getting an iPhone in July and I seriously can't wait for it!! it's going to be so hard to pick a case, but that one is definitely on the consideration list. And your back is super cute! That's so awesome you found it thrifting. I feel like everything you have that I like was thrifted...I should dig deeper and maybe I'll find as amazing stuff too! Haha, well overall your bag is pretty awesome! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI posted about my bag too about a week ago if you want to check it out :)

Oh la la, I wish I had an iPhone to buy a cat case to it. Thanks for sharing with us the inside of your bag!

I love your phone case!
ReplyDeleteI just posted about what's in my bag over on Batzy's blog! http://batzyshop.blogspot.com/2012/05/whats-in-my-bag-erin-from-eef-etcetera.html
did you purposely match your nail polish to the phone case? ;)Aren't thrift store purchase compliments the best? They always make me feel a bit smug. lol
ReplyDeleteI didn't actually, just a happy coincidence. I have just been obsessed with this nude polish lately.
Deleteall of your twin peaks references kill me. sometimes i start texts to my boyfriend "diane," usually the ones that i know he'll find completely unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, that is awesome!!
DeleteLoooove that purse!
ReplyDeletethat phone case is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the purse disappointment. I have a LEGO purse and for some strange reason, people seem disappointed that it came from the LEGO store. I dunno where else they think it comes from. It's still my absolutely favorite though.
ReplyDeleteI posted what was inside it a while ago here:

Haha! Usually people are disappointed because they were hoping they would be able to buy one for themselves :)
DeleteI LOVE Gemma Correll! I wish they made cool cases like this for Android phones.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you reminded me I need to get some blog business cards. I never thought I would need them until I ran into a situation not too long ago where I was trying to explain my blog to someone.
I love that purse too! It reminds me of this one from jototes
ReplyDeletehttp://jototes.com/handbags/millie-teal , even though it's a camera bag. (:
& LOL @ people mistaking that pen for a pregnancy test. my sister got that pen for my grandfather (80+) because he forever has pens sticking out of his pockets (+7 years for a pen? you'll lose it first) - I'm sure he'll get a good laugh out of people thinking it's a pregnancy test!
xo.
Ahahaha! That is so cute!!
DeleteI wish there were more phone cases that fit my phone.
ReplyDeleteThe whole subway napkin thing actually made me lol, because my bag is full of them for the same reason, and my bf always groans when I keep them!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Ivan is the one who makes me save them all! I'm usually like, "No, I have enough!"
Deleteo goodness, that phone case is adorable. I really need an iphone so I can get cute cases like that!

"I start all entries with 'Diane'..." LOL I literally laughed out loud at that one.
ReplyDeleteooh yay I'm not the only one with a small-ish purse :) It seems like everyone I know carries giant Mary Poppins sacks that can fit coat racks, mirrors and floor lamps inside.
ReplyDeletealso I love your Twin Peaks notebook!! :D
I have been known to carry some big purses but I really prefer smaller ones so I don't end up carrying around everything I own!
DeleteThe adult cats in my house hate each other. I often jokingly refer to whatever room they happen to share as a "Cat Party" but it is the total opposite of Gemma Correll's illustration, super cute as it is. I see no hissing, urinating or clawing in the face on that phone cover.
ReplyDeleteAwww, cute kitties! Wish I had a phone with adorable case choices (darn you, droid razr!). But this is a really awesome post. :D

I wish I kept such cute stuff in my purse. I thought those candies were those sour Warhead candies. I used to love those.
ReplyDelete-april.
How do you travel so light? My purse is full of nonsense I don't even know is in there! LOVE the kitty case- "ain't no party like a kitty-cat partay!" Jen x
ReplyDeleteHahaha you totally should start all entries in your notebook with "Diane". I have one episode left... I've kind of been holding it off, haha. But there is a movie, right? How was the movie?
ReplyDeleteHa! Yep there is a movie all right. "Fire Walk With Me". I won't ruin who makes a cameo in it...but you will like it. I found the movie creepier than the show. It takes place before the show.
