\"kellycolumnnewest916\"<\/a>As a member of the social media marketing company, Social Stylate (www.socialstylate.com<\/span><\/a>), one of my favorite blog posts to participate in is a feature called \u201cWhat\u2019s in Her Bag?\u201d It\u2019s a sneak peek into the essentials we carry around on a daily basis. I am a firm believer that sorting through the contents of a woman\u2019s purse is like conducting a little psychological assessment, of sorts. While it is no Rorschach test, spilling the innards reveals a boatload of info without saying a word. Here\u2019s a look inside mine:<\/p>\n

THE BAG – I am a sucker for a large tote. This caramel leather beauty (complete with two-toned tassel) is from Arden + James (www.ardenandjames.com<\/span><\/a>). I love the texture of the braid prominently displayed down the front. It is roomy enough to hold my everyday items, plus functions as a workhorse for my school books and files. If I had a dime for every compliment I have received on this bag, I would be a very wealthy woman.<\/p>\n

\"whats-in-my-bag\"<\/a>THE POUCH – My Pamela Barsky pouch states \u201cI am fueled by a strong desire and way too much caffeine\u201d…which, is exactly true. This little bag contains my pens and pencils, a bottle of Advil, dental floss, and gum. Everytime I dig into my purse, the saying makes me smile. www.pamelabarsky.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

THE SUNNIES: I love sunglasses. They are a year-round staple and, therefore, are an accessory worthy of a little extra expense, in my opinion. This particular pair is from designer Karen Walker and are available at Nordstrom. www.nordstrom.com<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

THE MAKEUP – No \u201cKelly\u201d handbag would be complete without a few (hundred) lipsticks tucked inside. Lately, I can\u2019t get enough of the Bare Minerals Gen Nude collection available at Houppette. My current favorites consist of a lipstick called \u201cMantra\u201d and a matte gloss called \u201cFriendship\u201d. 101 W. State Street, Kennett Square.<\/p>\n

THE PHONE – I am addicted to my cell phone, so, I never leave home without it. I found the cute, leopard spotted, Kate Spade case at TJMaxx and had to have it. Animal print anything is right up my alley.<\/p>\n

THE CALENDAR – As much as I love my phone, I refuse to use it as a calendar. I prefer to write down my appointments in order to see them in black and white. Well, in pencil…I mean, heaven forbid I use a pen and then plans change and then my calendar looks sloppy. See what I mean about the assessment thing? Ummm, yeah, slightly neurotic over here. I bought this one at Marshall\u2019s because it was\u00a0 <\/span>lightweight and had space to jot down notes.<\/p>\n
