My purse is a medium sized cross-body bag that seems to swallow up anything i put into it and magically spurts out anything I need. Don't ask me how that works...some miracles I simply accept.</p> <p>My secondary purse is my mini-van. Anything that doesnt fit into my purse is carried around in the van....including a costo-sized flat of water bottles and juice boxes, a large tote-bag of kid activites, snacks, changes of clothing, blankets and lip balm. Plus a first aid kit. If I could figure out how to fit all this into my Mary Poppins bag, I would! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28764 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:24:35 +0000 mirah 28764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always have :<br /> an overstuffed wallet<br /> cellphone<br /> portable gps<br /> ipod/headphones<br /> sunglasses<br /> keys with too many keychains (i like jingly keychains which become heavy)<br /> cheque books<br /> pens and a notepad<br /> lip gloss/compact/comb/mirror<br /> receipts/coupons/to do lists/bills etc<br /> bandaids/emergency meds like advil<br /> breath mints</p> <p>havent carried a small bag in years (so envious of u Shell) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28763 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:22:11 +0000 Basia 28763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to carry much more things in my handbag until some (**&#38;*&#38;*&#38;*^*,pardon my language) on the moto ripped it off my shoulder and I had to say goodbye to my favorite photos, charms, beloved perfect wallet and much much more.<br /> Now ut is a very basic kit of lipstic/perfume/hand cream/band aids (samples come very handy!), wallet, keys, pen and Ipod. And of course kleenex.<br /> In summer a fan, in winter the umbrella.<br /> Always sunglasses and pain killer.<br /> P.S<br /> Don't have time for reading books when I am on the go but I carry love letters;-)). Light, handy and how up lifting no matter rain or shine! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28756 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:08:11 +0000 Amanda 28756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a wallet, keys, cell phone plus...<br /> a small make=up bag with lip balm, lipstick, small brush, tampons, bandaids, nail file; sometimes sunglasses; a pen (although I never seem to have one when I need one)</p> <p>On days that I need more, I'll carry a larger tote and add any of the following depending on what I'm doing:<br /> reading glasses, book, umbrella, water bottle, a notepad </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28755 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:01:34 +0000 Nicole 28755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stuff a lot of things in my wallet...like checkbook, coupons, receipts, notes, appt cards. So my purse is generally holding my overstuffed wallet, a pad of paper and pen or two, lipstick, hand sanitizer, my cell phone, my keys (when I'm not home), and tissues--oh any any coupons that don't fit in my wallet. There are usually a few loose coins on the bottom too. Oh and I keep a few tampons in the inside zipper compartment. Nothing more embarrassing than opening my purse at the grocery store a having a tampon fall out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28753 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:53:18 +0000 Dawn 28753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well seeing as I'm a student, most of my bag is taken up with books, notepads, folders, pen, highlighters and post-its. I also carry wallet, keys, phone, lip balm, a couple more books for light reading or when I get bored in the library, bottle of water, tissues and sometimes a dry pair of socks. (it rains here far too much) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28740 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:27:11 +0000 Tanya 28740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have tons of things in my bag, which are:</p> <p>Wallet, keys, cell phone.</p> <p>Mini notepad and pen.</p> <p>Some basic medications ( e.g. Advil).</p> <p>Lip balm, hairbrush, small mirror, face blotting sheets, tissues.</p> <p>Tide stain pen, Anti blister stick, Band Aids, a small pack of breath mints, tiny bottle of Purell (hand sanitizer).</p> <p>Occasionally: sunglasses, umbrella, whatever book I am reading at the moment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28739 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:21:40 +0000 anne 28739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well other possible items that mine has had, at times...<br /> Make up<br /> pens<br /> paper/notebook<br /> paracetamol<br /> cold sore cream<br /> cheque book<br /> tissues<br /> daughters ballet shoes<br /> random bits of paper...</p> <p>That's just a start </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contents-of-your-purse#post-28735 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 15:06:39 +0000 shell 28735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With all the talk about switching purses and using purse organizers, I'm just curious...what do you all have in your purses?</p> <p>Mine currently consists of: wallet, phone, and keys. </p> <p>I know that being only 22, I don't have the years of experience to figure out what to all keep in my purse. </p> <p>So, what do you all have? </p>
