I know this isn’t an original photo. But I saw this floating around on Tumblr and it reminded me of your blog, especially what with the organization of the photo.

My fake leather every day bag:

Is far from my dream bag, but it was cheap (€12 = £10 = $16) and serves its purpose very well. I always carry a big bag, although I never really take much stuff with me. But still, I need the bag.
Without it I feel naked.

Things in my every day bag:

1. American apparel vinyl fanny pack with Filles a Papa patch sowed on. I use this bag for my train and bus cards.
2. Etnies wallet (scruffy, need new one)
3. Hideous 6 year old purple cell phone (making phone calls in public places not possible due to excessive laughter caused by people seeing my cell phone)
4. Clip on lights (I go by bike a lot)
5. Vintage leather gloves with a faux fur rim
6. Keys on Flip chain hanger (when I was 14 I was a skaterbitch)
7. Mp3 (almost dead, need new one)
8. Apple
9. Plastic bag (so I don’t have to buy one every time I go to the supermarket)
10. Pretty boring deodorant
11. WATER!! (the one and only constant in my bag)

I’m a co-conspirator at Union Jack Creative and a charity runner in the rapidly approaching 2011 Boston marathon, with an addiction to bicycles, Converse and fashion blogs. I also have a day job. Requisite objects for every day include:

1. A Chrome messenger bag - waterproof, crash proof, life proof. This bag has scraped Boston roads, kept electronics dry in the Amazon, summited Mt. Washington and toted high heels to Middlesex.

2. Notebook - small enough for a purse, large enough to scribble missives and cheap enough to buy in multiples.

3. Sewing kit - just in case.

4. Chapstick - for protection from sun, wind, cold and spicy food.

5. Rimmel eyeliner pencil (or two) and Maybelline liquid liner - for glamming up impromptu outings after work.

6. L’Oreal mascara - for touchups after a rainy bike commute or a lunch hour run.

7. Chandelier earrings for after-work outings.

8. Pearls for bringing professional polish to unexpected vendor meetings - pearls always up the ante.

9. iPhone. Of course (For Instagram, if nothing else!)

10. Assorted writing implements - Sharpie markers, Zebra pencil, Staedtler and Uniball pens.

11. The Stick (little size) - because nothing works quite as well on the go.

12. Digital camera - for documenting artwork, shenanigans, snowbanks and surprising sunlight.

13. Wallet - doubles as a clutch in a pinch.

14. Swiss army knife, ICRC edition - picked up on study abroad in Geneva, on hand to slice an apple or open wine in parks ever since.

15. I Heart My Bike button - because I do!
