He's the list of what's in my handbag right at this moment (I dumped it out):</p> <p>keys<br /> wallet<br /> mobile phone<br /> two lipsticks<br /> one lip liner<br /> one tinted lip gloss<br /> concealer<br /> miscellaneous crumpled-up receipts<br /> small tube of vaseline<br /> small tube of sunblock<br /> floss<br /> loose change, fallen to the bottom<br /> nine bobby pins, also fallen to the bottom<br /> a pen that in all likelihood does not work</p> <p>As you can probably surmise, I do not switch my belongings from one handbag to the other very often. This is my one giant style flaw: I have a dearth of bags. I like them, in theory; I just always seem to spend my money on other things.</p> <p>ETA: also, my bag always contains a tiny swiss army knife with tweezers and mini scissors, but since it's attached to my keys, I don't think of it as something that's part of my handbag. But the keys tend to be in the handbag, and I since use those tweezers ALL THE TIME to pull out these ridiculous white hairs that sprout from my chin and seem to grow to an inch long overnight, I thought I'd include them. The car mirror is the best place to see the chin hairs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-bag#post-370850 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:18:40 +0000 Marley 370850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Key<br /> Cell phone<br /> lipstick/gloss<br /> fingernail file<br /> floss<br /> coin purse that holds cc's and drivers' lic.<br /> pen<br /> small notebook<br /> protein bar </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-bag#post-370844 Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:09:55 +0000 Isabel 370844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 months ago, the list would have been sooooo long !!

Glad you are returning the favour! May many more follow.<br /> On days when I need more stuff I use the red bag as a bag-in-bag in a larger bag. Either a large handbag or a day rucksack, depending on the occasion. That bag/rucksack holds a 500 ml/14 oz water bottle, sunglasses, and anything I add on the day (like my digital photo camera and lunch). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-bag#post-366003 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 19:45:28 +0000 catgirl 366003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keys, phone, wallet, lipstick, pen, Moleskine notebook. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-bag#post-365998 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 19:35:43 +0000 Mo 365998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm visual like Heleen. :0<br /> Here's what's in my Fossil Sutter crossbody:<br /> the wallet and phone both go in the front pockets, the thin/flat stuff goes in the back pocket, the blood glucose meter in the inside pocket, and the clear makeup bag, brush, and lotion in the main compartment, along with the sunglasses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/whats-in-your-bag#post-365994 Mon, 13 Jun 2011 19:25:33 +0000 HeleenH 365994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what was in my bag on 14 December 2010.
