What's In My Bag: Marc Jacobs

I have a confession. There is something in my life that I covet more than makeup, more than skincare, more than Joseph Gordon-Levitt. What is it you ask? Well it's handbags. I have quite a collection, some are hidden because my husband seriously freaks out anytime I bring another purse home, I usually wait a week and start using it and insist I have had "this purse forever, you just never noticed", he has yet to fall for that excuse, but I still try.

So today's What's In My Bag post is kind of fun. It's February and Valentines Day is right around the corner so I can finally bring out one of my favorite Marc Jacobs bags!

I bought this bag two years ago, Marc Jacobs had released a whole "Big Heart" collection, it included this bag, a Big Heart Satchel, a Big Heart Tote, and a Big Heart Clutch. They were available in red, purple, blue, silver, and nude. I bought this purse, and the Big Heart Tote in red, I later bought the Big Heart Clutch in purple. If anyone wants to see pictures of those let me know. At first I thought the purse would be too much, I mean it is loud, red, and covered in huge hearts. But it is definitely a statement bag and I have received more compliments than put downs on this bag.

Now onto all the stuff inside. Before you think I'm crazy let me say, I use to carry a lot more, I would pack my purse for a zombie apocalypse. I hate forgetting anything at home, and I hate not having everything I need with me. But I realized that I can't bring everything with me because that's a little scary.

• Makeup Bag
• Hair Brush
• HandiBac Moisturizing Hand Lotion
• Hearse Pouch
• Wallet
• Cellphone
• Keys
• Daily Planner
• Fingerless Gloves

Everything here is pretty simple. Wallet, keys, cellphone, all necessities. The brush is small and perfect for quick fixes. My little hearse pouch is fun, I bought it from a seller on Etsy: simbiosisbyjulia, she is amazing and has the cutest little pouches. I currently have 5 of them that I change out depending on my mood, I've been using the hearse pouch since Halloween, and I just bought a robot one for my best friend to use as a makeup bag. Inside my pouch I carry business cards and any of those members cards for stores like the Sephora Beauty Insider card, Ulta, CVS, etc, it's perfect so I don't junk up my wallet. Those big bulky fingerless gloves are a must right now, even though I live in California it's been pretty cold in the mornings and my office is FREEZING sometimes so I can wear these and type at the same time, yes I look crazy, but at least I'm warm.

Now onto what I like to see in people's handbags. The makeup bag, doom doom doom!
