What's in your bag?

I love my purse endlessly. Its the first time I've ever spent money on a purse; in years past they were normally cheap bags from Kohls or thrift store finds. Its a soft brown/black (called blackberry) leather, the perfect size and shape, plus it has shoulder straps AND a cross-body. I was working at Patina when this style came in and gawked at it for weeks before finally making the plunge. I'm so glad that I did because I know I'll wear this bag until its in pieces.

Wallet/Sunglasses: Target, Planner: Moleskine

These are the essentials that I keep in my bag at all times. My wallet (sale rack!) and sunglasses come from Target. My keys are reppin the Minnesota Twins, the only sports team I even kind of keep up with. A flash drive, just in case, and some Burt's Bees chapstick. My Moleskine planner, without which I would be totally lost. I've been using this planner for years, I love that it has the week on the left page and opposite that its just lined--perfect for writing to do lists or making notes. Blister band-aids are essential in case I end up walking more than I planned. My asthma inhaler, a bundle of tissues, and a pen round out my daily essentials.

I like to keep my required items pretty minimal because at any given time I'll add a water bottle, book, or point and shoot camera depending on where I'm heading. What's in your bag?
