Monthly feature where I pair books with bags or share what's in a bag (mine or otherwise!) est. 4/2013.
Today, we're getting a peek into Betty's (from Book Rock Betty) bag!
Depending on where I'm going, I either have my diaper bag or a big tote-like bag. Although my diaper bag is pretty cute (I have this one!), I generally prefer carrying a bag that looks a little less "mom", but still able to carry all the crap I need! The only things I am not listing are the crumbs, pens, and broken crayons that I found when digging this stuff out to take the picture! So, thank you Rachel, for making me do this -- my bag is officially cleaned out!
Bag: First of all, I gotta tell you, I'm not a bag snob at all. I don't care about brands. I care about functionality and being able to withstand the terror that comes with having 3 kids! I also avoid fake leather- they are actually quite toxic, but this is not an EcoBetty post, so I'll shut up about it. This bag (I had to look just now- lol) is the Patricia Nash Benvenuto Tote. I got it at Macy's because it was on sale, holds my shizzz, and was real leather. Plus, my BFF Kelly told me this color goes with everything!
Wallet: My wallet is a Fossil Marlow Leather Clap Clutch - this thing holds everything I need, which is important. I love being able to just snag this out of my bag for a quick run to the store. It has tons of card slots and little sections for other things. I can even sneak my phone inside. I picked the mint color because it is easy to spot inside my bag!
Kindle: I love my Kindle Paperwhite. I take it everywhere. I'm a fan of knowing that I have several books within reach in case I finish my current read and am stranded somewhere for a long period of time! On top of my Kindle is a cute little cupcake notebook with pages that tear out really easily.
Makeup Bag: Always gotta have a few staples just in case... mascara, blush, concealer, and pressed powder! Most vital, I always have my badger french vanilla lip balm and 100% Pure lip gloss in the color Naked rolling around in my bag. Oh! There is dental floss in there too because well, ya just never know!
Water Bottle: I never leave home without my Life Factory water bottle. I love it because it's glass, so my water never gets funky or absorbs plastic chemicals.
Sunglasses: Always gotta have a pair with me! Like the bag, not really into the brand names. Most of mine are Steve Madden that I most likely get at Marshall's!
KIND Bars: Nuts or grains; don't care, as long as there is always one in my bag!
Cole Clothes: Babies spit up or have blowouts at the most inconvenient times! I've learned from experience that extra clothes is a must, even for a 20 minute trip! I'm obsessed with Carter's and H&M for baby clothes! Sun hat is a must have!
Diapers & Wipes: We love the Honest Company for diapers and wipes. Even if I don't have the baby with me, I keep wipes with me to rid my hands of germs!
Other Crap for Cole & the Girls: Nuby teether, Peekaboo Sophie (his favorite book), Band Aids
What book (and other cute things) are in YOUR bag right now?

Loved seeing what's in your bag, Betty! It's always fun to learn more about my blogger friends and their lifestyles through whatever they have in their bags ;)
