Kim's Bags

Hopewell,Virginia

I have a small handbag collection because I will use the same one forever. I always have a hard time finding one that I really like. I saw this one on the clearance shelf a couple weeks ago in Target. It's by Merona and it is so spacious and cute. While I own a handful of designer bags, it is this less expensive one that has grabbed my heart. I'm a bit of a pack rat so I keep a lot of stuff in my bag. You never know where you'll end up or what you'll need... LOL.

• Day planner
• Moleskin notebook for jotting down story ideas
• Starbucks Coffee Passport and Tazo Tea Passport (I work at Starbucks and we have to taste all the coffees and teas we sell and fill these cute little passports out with our tasting experiences.)
• Kashi Go Lean Crunch bar for healthy snacking
• Nine West wallet (I swear I keep my whole life in this wallet but it has held up pretty nicely)
• Little purple change purse filled with movie theater stubs (my friends and I loved movies in college and still do. This holder has nearly every movie ticket stub from the past 8 years. There's at least a couple hundred in there! Recent movie seen: Quarantine)
• iPod with Phillips earphones
• Tylenol sinus and cold meds
• Altoids
• Dior Addict perfume (the best ever)
