I once heard a woman say that the best advice she had ever received was to keep her purse closed at all times because you never know what could fall out. Although I’ll admit it would be quite uncomfortable to spill the contents of my bag in public, I have no problem sharing it here for the world to see, lol. It’s no surprise this bag is a best seller on Amazon. I’ve been carrying it for a couple of months now and have nothing bad to say, only good. First of all, it isn’t leather. I know some of you are leather purists, and maybe some of you aren’t. The overall quality of the bag checks all my boxes. The gold zippers add a nice touch. It also comes with a shoulder strap, but I use it as-is on my shoulder and it works just fine. There is plenty of room for larger things like umbrellas, water bottles, etc. It comes in lots of colors too and it is under $40. You can check out more of my fall/winter fashion picks here.
This wallet was on my wish list last Christmas and Santa delivered. I’ll admit it took some getting used to. After carrying the same large envelope style wallet for close to ten years it was time to downsize. I only carry a few cards and a little cash if I plan ahead. I do love this wallet though and Frye has some of the best leather around.
I keep this charger in my purse and it has saved me and others! You never know when you will need to charge that iPhone because goodness knows we can’t live without them. What I like best about this charger is the slim design and its ability to charge fast. This short cord is perfect for charging on the go. No more long cords to deal with!

Years ago R gave me this keyring for a special occasion. I love how it has aged. Silver only gets better with time, so I searched around and found an older one here for a lot less.
Of course, my phone is with me at all times. I’ve had this Loopy case for several months now and it makes holding the 7 plus so much easier. It comes in lots of colors and styles.
Everyone, I mean everyone made fun of me when I started wearing these readers. It turns out that Oprah likes them too (or a very similar style) and they’ve already sold out on Amazon.
Okay, don’t judge me for having non-Ray-Bans in a Ray-Ban case. It’s just that this case is sturdier than the one that came with these sunglasses. These are under $15, come in lots of color options, and are of great quality.
It is imperative that I have lotion with me at all times! I use the rose salve mostly during the winter months when my knuckles get that winter dryness that we all know too well. L’Occitane is my all-time favorite hand lotion. It goes on nicely and leaves my hands feeling soft without being greasy. Eucerin is a good backup option.
I apologize for the blurry pic! Lipsticks! Can a girl have too many? I just need options, lots of options, haha. Left to right:
Lancome, red stiletto | Color The World, flawless | Charlotte Tilbury, pillow talk | Mac, lovelorn | Bert’s Bees, pink blossom

Thank you for telling us about this beautiful purse!
I have been looking for a new one and did not want to spend a lot of money.
I just put this on my wish list at Amazon. 🙂

I smiled when I saw all your lipsticks and a chapstick. I have the same amount as I never know what color I will want when out and about. I agree… a girl can never have too many. 🙂

Thank you! If I’m being honest, I eliminated a couple of tubes that looked even worse. My dependence on lip products run deep! Hahaha
