  • Secret Tip: I also use the cream blushes as eye shadow when in a pinch when I'm out and wanna extra splash of color.

My bag has a rhinestone outline of Hello Kitty!  I love this bag because it's girly, casual, and room-y!  The reason for so many Hello Kitty things (and her cute friends) is because I work part-time at a Sanrio store so I naturally purchase a lot of goodies from there.

I like to keep things cheap because they're just as pretty as the expensive stuff. My bag is from Wal-Mart, cheap but pretty.

• My black Samsung Sprint cell phone.
• Mechanical pencil and Sharpie highlighter. At school, I usually forget my supplies so I just put an extra one in my bag. I'm kind of a school geek. A stylish school geek.
• CVS pharmacy aloe vera and cucumber light moisturizing lotion. For ashy moments.
• Pink shimmery lip gloss (in case of a hot boy alert).
• Wet n Wild Mega Slicks Crystal Clear Lip Gloss to keep my looks simple. Wear this everyday.
• Estee Lauder Maximum Volume Mascara only for occasions. (when there is a hot boy around).
• Estee Lauder 2-sided mascara also for occasions.
• Revlon Brow Fantasy Eyeliner and Mascara. Wear it everyday. Like to look pretty and simple everyday.
• Broken Pocket Mirror. Still good to use. In case my eyeliner gets smeared.
• Wet n Wild Lash Curler. Use it when I put mascara on.
• Chapstick Vanilla Mint Lip Moisturizer. Don't want anyone catching me with chapped lips.
• Wallet Pictures of my two best friends. Good reminders of our relationship.
• Black Butterfly Clip from the $1 store. In case my hair gets in the way.
• Maybelline Dream Mousse Shadow: Heavenly Pink. I love it because it matches my rosy cheeks! Use almost everyday.

It's a Coach gallery tote, it holds everything if you can find it!

• Day planner/pens: I can't function without it. I can't remember everything and it has stickers! (I know I'm 22, but I'm working on an Elem Ed teaching degree--I just love stickers)
• Lip Stuff: I always have one with me and I just keep throwing them in. I have so many. The Vanilla Mint Chapstick is so good. I've got lots of Beauty Rush stuff from VS, Mac and Lola Lipstick. The lid has a mirror so that's helpful. And it says Lust often Love always--isn't that adorable!
• Heart Rate Monitor, hair elastics, and iPod for the gym. My iPod is a black Nano and it's a juicy Couture holder with a cute little lady but charm--my favorite.
• Keys, phone, wallet, sunglasses (really the essentials)
• Inhaler and eye drops for allergies [sad face]
• Purel hand sanitizer for icky places
• Tide pen--cause you never know

• The bag - it may look tiny, but it sure does carry a lot!!  It carries what you see below and an iPod Nano (not shown because my dad took it away from me :( )  On it is one of my favorite key chains.  It's by Louis Vuitton, too!  It matches the bag.
• The wallet - It's a basic black Coach skinny mini wallet.  In it is some cash, gift cards and change.  Attached is my key ring.  The keys are to my purse, my violin case, and my house.  And there is a Victoria's Secret shopping bag keychain.
• The pink card is an ID holder (by Juicy Couture) - it was a gift from my mom.  It can hold more than just one ID.
• Lip Glosses - there are like, a trillion in there!  I think my favorite is the MAC lipglass.  It has moisture, shine a tint of color and it isn't all goopy like the others.
• The phone - I've had this phone since March and I LOVE it!  It like, never dies and it's thin.  On it is my favorite antenna charm (from Coach).
• Tide to Go - MANDATORY if you are wearing a light colored shirt or sweatshirt- it gets all food and pen stains out!
• Starbucks After Coffee Gum - this gum is good even if you didn't just have coffee!
• Mini Perfume - it came in an Estée Lauder gift set.  "Pleasures Exotic" is my favorite scent by them and I always like to have a perfume around.
• Mirror - It's also from Estée Lauder- It even has some powder foundation in it!

Items in my favorite Hogan bag—it’s so Rock Star!

• Hobo wallet/clutch - The best $100 I ever spent. I use it as my everyday wallet, but it also converts nicely to something I can use by itself in the evening.
• Purell hand sanitizer - I ride the train in N.Y.C. every day; enough said.
• Matches - I don't smoke; I collect them so I always have a stash at home for lighting candles. I love candles!
• Fake wedding band - The ultimate "NO" when you’re not interested in someone—doesn't always work.
• Breath drops - No explanation necessary.
• Extra pair of earrings - Accessories make an outfit, and sometimes I'm running late (ok, always). This way I'll never be naked.
• Rosebud salve - Great for dry lips AND cuticles.
• Valerie's Secret Weapon - People say I have perfect skin, and this is why.
• YSL concealer pen - Perfect for under the eyes and as a browbone highlighter.
• And of course the Ipod—this little thing is perfect and can go anywhere.
