In Your Bag

• Straw bag by Kate Spade: I bought it at a sample sale in the Hamptons, and it's perfect for the beach or for toting around the city in warm weather.
• Scarf: I always, always have a scarf in my bag!
• Red leather envelope: I use this as my wallet—it carries cash, credit cards, ID and change so well! And it's big, so I never have a problem finding it in my bag. I began using it as a temporary wallet when my last one broke, but I've stuck with it because it works. :)
• Driver's license: I've been in N.Y.C. for four years now, but I still have a Washington ID.
• Keychain: I love monogrammed stuff, so the big silver "g" is my favorite. Keys include apartment key, mailbox key and office key.
• Tarte lip gloss in Lois and Clark: I LOVE the red gloss on this—it's the perfect shade of subtle, sheer red and it's not goopy or sticky, which I also love.
• Red planner by Kate Spade: It keeps my life organized—I'd be an absolute MESS without it! I'm the kind of person who needs to write everything down, so my planner is (literally) my sidekick.
• Cell phone: It's a basic Samsung cell. To be honest, I'm dying for the new Blackberry Pearl, though. :)
• Makeup Bag by Kate Spade: It's a perfect fit for my makeup.
• Compact: MAC...an oldie but goodie. 
• Powder brush: The PERFECT all-over face brush from Gene Juarez.
