In Your Bag

Cary, NC

• DKNY wallet: The padlock closure is genius. It never flops open, even when it's packed full.
• Fendi sunglasses
• Tiffany sterling keyring: I rarely wear jewelry, so when I wanted something from Tiffany, I got the most practical thing I could think of. Yes, that is the Little Mermaid on my house key.
• Motorola Razr phone
• iPod with J.Crew case: It's "old school" third generation. It was a graduation gift to myself, so I don't want to replace it -- yet.
• Lancome pressed powder: Most compacts come with a puff, but this one has a half-moon brush, perfect for light touch-ups. I stalked every make-up counter to find one like it.
• Neutrogena lip balm
• NARS lipstick in Dolce Vita
• L'Occitane shea butter hand cream
• Pen
• Myntz: My mom swapped out my Altoids with these mints, which are sugar-free (She's a dentist).
• New Yorker: Perfect reading when you're waiting for something or someone.
