Blog Crawl: It's in the bag!

Ever since Ashley asked me to be in her blog crawl,

I've been trying to think of a great way to set this post up.

Who doesn't love a good glossy mag's feature

of a celeb's spilled bag chocked full of

 La Mer moisturizer, Fendi sunglasses, & matchboxes from exotic hotels?

 I would have loved to create some gorgeous piece

that shows an edited & posh peek in my life...

but seeing as how the person 

I actually am 

got in late from our trip from Italy

because Ryan Air is completely absurd....

this was the best I could do:

thank you mr. ak for the candid shot...

Yup.

A photo shoot on the train in from the airport.

Cause that's how I roll, baby.

Super classy.

But, hey, that's who I actually am... 

and this is what I actually have in my purse:

First things first:

Command Central

{my wallet}

I love this Michael Kors wallet

because it can hold boarding passes, passports, 

all types of currency... and a squillion credit cards & loyalty cards.

{like my 3 completed cards to Moo Moo's Milkshake Shack.}

Next up:

My brain food.

Ok... maybe it's junk brain food, 

but any kind of reading counts as brain exercise, right?

Plus I love Sophie Kinsella/ Madeleine Wickham 

for better or worse.

in sickness & in health.

as long as we both shall live...

Oh, and my notebook.

I commute to London several days a week 

and I pen my thoughts/doodles/future blog topics here.

Finally:

The Essentials.

Totes Houndstooth Umbrella.

I live in England. This contraption goes everywhere with me.

Glasses.

My eyesite has gone to crap.

{and when I say "crap," please re: overdramatic.}

Lips.

YSL lipgloss & Blistex... 

don't mess with this combo. 

Pen.

Because this whole island is always short on supply of them.

and the unsung hero,

the wind beneath my wings:

my iPhone... 

{who took all of these pictures!}

Thanks, Ashley, for asking me to be a part of the blog crawl-

and thanks, Christa of C Jane Create for passing the torch on to Aspiring Kennedy!

I can't wait to see what Carla has in store tomorrow

as she carries on the blog crawl at her site: Paper Clippings of a Wandering Artist!
