What’s In My Bag?

February 3, 2014 by robincharmagne 2 Comments

Hello,
Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks! I had a blast watching the game with some good friends, but I think we ate more than we watched the game. And I have to say it, the million dollar Superbowl commercials really sucked this year, not one was a standout. Bravo to Bruno Mars though, he rocked it!

It’s been a year since my last What’s in my Bag so I’m sharing my latest with you lovelies today. This time around the talented artist Adjanys sketched all the mess in my bag.

My Mess:
Satchel – I love my Dooney & Bourke Retro Embossed Safari Crossbody. It’s actually a past season style but I love an embossed logo!
Notebook – Of course it has my initial from Poppin. Perfect size for a crossbody bag.
Sun-glass Case – Holds my eyeglasses and sunglasses.
Pen – I need something to jot down notes, this sleek Cross Stylist Ball Pen is pretty in pink.
Cell Phone – I’m in love with my Samsung Galaxy III, that is all!
Lip Balm – I know folks love eos, but it isn’t the best chap stick,IJS! I love the pink package though.
Mints – Just in case I meet “the one”, I’ll be minty fresh, at least for 3 hours with BreathSavers 3-Hour Mints.
Keys – Your keys might as well have a stylish home, a classic Tiffany and Co. keyring.
Card Case – A card case is a great alternative to a wallet.
Checkbook – I write checks on occasion, this cover is so ratty and my alma mater doesn’t carry it anymore, bummer.
Charger – A portable charger is an essential and this one works with all your electronics, checkout a pretty and practical option here.
Coin Purse – No more loose change all over my bag, thanks to this cute accessory from Coach.
Hand cream – This hand cream works wonders! Smooth, none greasy application with SPF 25.

This cross body is a good go-to, everyday bag, the perfect size and holds all my mess. Of all the messy goodies, the pink pen is my favorite! Cross still makes a great pen. What’s a favorite thing in your bag?

OOTD #2- Floral

Hello pretty ones!
It’s Wednesday and guess who’s on the catwalk again, me! Thank y’all for all the love last week.

Floral print fabrics can be tricky, you know looking like a bedspread. But in the right proportion, a floral is a nice print. I love this one in a tunic style to cover those areas that are still a work in process.

The Details:
Tunic(Macy’s) – similar here
Jeans(Macy’s) – similar here
Handbag(Big Buddha) – similar here
Boots(DSW) – similar here
Necklace(t+j Designs) – here
Bracelet(Urban Peach Boutique-sold out) – similar here

A special shout-out to my Mom who is celebrating a birthday today!

You know I like to party, linking with:

Target and Prabal Gurung

Hello Pretties,

The much ballyhooed collaboration of Target and Prabal Gurung debuts on Sunday, February 10.
Pb and t

The 80-piece Love collection is truly romantic and girly and the best part is most of these pieces are under $50, yes for designer duds! On the Target website is a fun love quiz to determine your love style. Here’s mine:
pb and t candy 1
pb and t candy 2

Crushworthy, Candy Girl in Floral, I love it!

1 – $49; 2 -$ 39; 3 -$ 29(top)

My favorite from this collection is the Nolita print, like a rainbow and completely wearable with just about anything. My picks:

Bangles-$16; Shirt dress – $39; Tote bag -$39 ; Flats – $29; Sandals -$39; Bag – $34; Pumps – $39

I really like this collection, perfect for Spring/Summer and for $100 you can put together an entire outfit!

Prabal Gurung is a high-end designer who fashions run well beyond $1000. I would suggest logging in early to get the best deals or be camped outside Target…LOL!

What are you loving?

Keep it Pretty,

On to today’s post. I love the What’s in my Bag features because well, I’m nosey! So today I’m sharing my bag and it’s contents and like my shoes most of my bags are black. My everyday bag is the lovely Kristen. It’s by Coach whose bags I love, the quality is excellent and styling always on trend. This is a pretty big bag for me but I like that it holds all my stuff and it’s a shoulder strap so I can carry on my arm or as a crossbody.

I can cram a lot into this bag but I like having all my stuff with me!

My stuff

Clockwise from the top:
1)Wallet Barney’s New York -I love the quilting and this wallet was a steal from Sawgrass Mills in Miami
2)Eyeglasses – I used to be really vain about these dang glasses, but when you have to hold the menu 10 feet away, you start carrying your glasses
3)Pink and Green glitter pen – perfect writing instrument…LOL
4)Tampon – yeah one lone tampon, just in case…
5)Jergens lotion – Tried and true with a fresh scent
6)Carmex – Tried and true and helps with my extra chapped lips
7)Keys – This Tiffany and Co. key ring was a gift from someone who is no longer in my life, very tempted to toss it in the trash but I do like it
8)Makeup bag Kate Spade – Another steal from my mini vaca in Miami last year from Sawgrass Mills
9)Phone Samsung Galaxy III – I love this phone and guess what? It was a refurb for $29 bucks – woowee, love a bargain
10)Pink and Green mints – tasty and beautifully packaged…LOL
11)Business Card case – cute Christmas gift from Mom and my new robincharmagne cards
12)Checkbook – Yeah I still carry and write checks – love this cover from my alma mater Emory University

You wanna know a secret, you think my bag is neat like that heck no, here’s my bag on any given day…
