I pretty much carry a Mary Poppin’s type purse- never ending. As much as I would love to carry a small, more compact purse, I simply can’t do it. I always look in amazement when I see other women carry only a clutch as their purse. Complete and utter fascination. One day I aspire to be like them, until then here’s what weighs down my arm on a daily basis…
My go-to bag: Rebecca Minkoff Morning After Bag
Kate Spade Cobble Hill Stacy Wallet
My 2 favorite apple products- ipad & iphone
Ray Ban Aviators
My standard snacks: larabar’s and kind bars
Lip treatment: NARS turkish delight and Aquaphor
Rotating source of gum/mintsΒ 
A little bag of this & that’s- truvia packets (for coffee), hand lotion, advil, etc
What kind of purse do you normally carry?
Anything you have to have with you?

    With two kids, I guess I am a Mary Poppins carrier, too.

    I am totally with you! Even if I try to get a smaller bag it ends up stuffed so it’s always back to a bigger bag … just never know what you might need!

    I looove big bags and I never have any problems filling them up either haha. Love your Kate Spade wallet and your Ipad case!

    I so may have to do a post like this. I’ll be sure to link back to you if I do! Happy Wednesday πŸ™‚

    Yayay for Rebecca Minkoff! My go-to bag is a Rebecca Minkoff Mini Nikki – I have it in five or six colors! πŸ˜›

    I LOVE your pretty bag, Ashley. And I too tend to carry my whole life around with me. It’s pretty bad.

    I wish I could carry a smaller purse! Mine is seriously loaded down! I carry a back coach leather purse! And filled to the brim with my favorite sunglasses (ray ban aviators) my iphone, healthy snack. There are loose coins and lip gloss everywhere! I seriously don’t know how some women carry a small purse!

    I have tons of stuff in my purse too…but I frequently put my debit and license in my back pocket and leave the purse at home. Sometimes it is just too much.

    the inside of our bags look frightenly similar! and i have NO clue how girls can use clutches. i try to use one sometimes and then i still cram my husbands pockets with things because i can’t get them to fit in the clutch. ha!

    I wish I constantly carried a purse so that I could make a post like this! But I’m constantly changing – nor do I think I have enough stuff to put in a large bag.. (I’m #guilty of just trying to randomly find things to put in it hahaah)

    Thanks for sharing xx

    Oh my gosh I love your purse! I’ve been trying to find one that I like and I just can’t seem to find the “right” one.

    I usually carry so much stuff in my bag too…including the handful of lipgloss I rotate between!

  14. October 19, 2011 / 9:00 pm

    I love these types of posts! And I love my iphone and ipad too!

    Ashley, I’m like you… I can’t seem to manage walking out the door with anything smaller than a large tote. Random things typically in mine… squeaky tennis balls and plastic bags for the pup, Altoids (always), and vasoline for my dry skin.

  19. October 20, 2011 / 3:38 am

    Love your bag–it’s so chic! I always carry huge purses, too! I can never figure out how girls can carry such small purses…

  20. October 20, 2011 / 5:17 am

    Yep…I have a baby and the bag has just gotten bigger, sadly.

    I love Kind Bars and Lara Bars. They are delicious and healthy. Love seeing what’s in your bag. Very similar to my things. πŸ™‚ Now following your blog!

    I would love if you could stop by my blog and check out my JewelMint photo shoot. I would love to know what you think!

    Great bag and love the goodies inside. I always carry a big bag but when I go on date nights…I like just to use a clutch!

    I’m like you I carry a lot of stuff in my bag – I once even hauled around a brick for the day! I’m an interior designer so a lot of odd things end up in my bags & car! I just discovered your gorgeous blog through one of my favourite blogs ‘Gild & Grace’. I have just signed up as your latest follower! I look forward to popping by for some more inspiration!
