Tag!

Can the contents of our bags yield insight into our personalities? I'll let you decide as I spill my essentials, thanks to prompting from Tanya over at Moosette.

I'm schlepping:

1. My new CC Skye "Edie" messenger bag (via Gilt)
2. Banana Republic silk scarf
3. Handful of toiletries: Bath & Body Works hand sanitizer in "white citrus", miscellaneous Clinique lip products, Renu eye drops
4. Motorola Razr phone (Obviously I'm not concerned with being high tech!)
5. Lauren Merkin business card case in "Eggplant"
   
6. Keys to my car, apartment and heart
   
7. Pen
8. Paint samples - I'm searching for the perfect navy blue for the bedroom.
9. Banana Republic wallet
10. Coach planner
11. Camera (not pictured)

I'm a bit of a voyeur and would love to see what everyone else is carrying! I encourage everyone to play, but I'm going to specifically tag: A Wonderfelle World, Suck My Savvy, The Beauty File, Cafe Fashionista, La Rue Neuve, Style Symmetry, Chic 'n Cheap Living, Glammed if you do ..., Pudding and the Post-Fab Princess, and Chic on the Cheap

And, while we're at it, a heartfelt thanks to Chic on the Cheap for tagging me for the "I ♥ Your Blog" award. The rules are simple: post the award and pass it to 15 people. But, I encourage all readers to post it. If you ♥ my blog, then I certainly ♥ your blog, too!

Coffee Break

Five minutes in Target yielded one 12-pack of Cherry Coke Zero and one cheerful impulse buy - a Liberty of London for Target mug.

Have you picked up anything from this collaboration?

Some people may choose to honor St. Patrick today, but I prefer an indulgent toast to one of my favorite colors: emerald green.
