The Bag Game

Well the much anticipated weekend is almost here, and our super duper Southern California weather has turned to rain... great.
It's hard enough to find the perfect outfit, but throw weather into the mix and I'm officially stumped. I have no clue what I'm going to wear for our V-day dinner tonight or the BF's birthday party tomorrow? A parka? I'm not accustomed to the whole stay warm & dry mentality.

The lovely Lisa tagged me in "The Bag Game." And being a bag lover, how could I not play?
Here are the rules so you can play too...

1) Post a picture of whatever bag you are carrying as of late. No, you cannot go up to your closet and pull out that cute little purse you used back before you had kids. I want to know what you carried today or the last time you left the house. No cheating!

2) I want to know how much it cost:) And this is not to judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. So spill it. And if there is a story to go along with how you obtained it, I’d love to hear it.

3) Tag some chicks. And link back to this post so people know why the heck you’re showing everyone your bag.

My bag:
The Story: This is my go to, almost every single day, bag... It's Bottega Veneta, and I've had it for a couple of years. I love the woven two shades of brown, and the super soft leather... I also love that the inside lining is turqouise suede. It holds a ton, but is light weight, and not super bulky. It's basically the perfect bag...
(A peak inside... the color is much better/ more torqouise-y in real life.)
And now the contents of my bag spilled out on the floor... (I threw away a couple old reciepts which, I promise you were not very interesting.)
Sorta Clockwise from the top:
Wallet, mini-Luna bar (for when I need a little snack), raspberry mint Orbit gum, make- up (guerlain bronzer compact, bobbi brown concealer, burt's bees chapstick. Smith's Minted Rose lip balm & Lip Fusion gloss in "glow"), hair clips/ hair tie, Purrell hand sanitzer, my keys (with my gym swipe-y card on there), Blackberry aka crackberry (with finger prints on the screen. gross), moleskine notbook, pen, kate spade planner... there you have it!

Now I'm going to tag...

Cute bag!!

I will abide to being tagged and do my post on Monday :-)

1) Ohhhh weather and its knack for ruining outfits. As I once said to my mom at a football game out here in the Midwest, "It's really hard to look cute AND stay warm." And that goes for staying dry too!

2) I love when a neutral bag is a bright, fun color on the inside. I always feel like when I open it up, it's saying, "Surprise!!!"

3) I have that flavor of gum in my bag too.

Happy Valentine's Day and have a great weekend! :D

Love the purse. Sadly, I don't have a purse to even dump to show the blogging world. I wrote a post about my need for a purse a while back.

The bag I do carry is a white/turquoise tote from Pottery Barn that holds my stuff for work. Not very exciting.

I'm loving your bag! It's gorgeous! I don't even really have a purse that I use anymore since the only place I really go is to work. (I leave my wallet in my glove compartment!) Sad, huh?

also- you asked me where I got my sunglasses... I tried to reply by e-mail, but I'm not sure if that worked? did you get it? anyway, I got them at Target... soooo super cheap. :) love them.

Sorry - I'm reading a waaaays back right now!

I love it when people do this. It's always so much fun to see! I never have much in my purse though so no one would enjoy seeing inside my bag. Sad! I like the kate planner! If I were to have a planner - I would want it to be that one!
