My handbag, especially the really big ones, hold everything in them that I need. And I do mean everything. Without my bag, I would be lost. That’s why I like them so big. You are apt to find me on any day digging out my MAC makeup and X-men, all simultaneously. Shoot, when my daughter wants gum, she just goes purse-diving until she strikes bubble-licious!

At any rate, my purse with contents weighs about 15 pounds or so. No joke! But I need everything in it. Everything. So in the spirit of fave lists, here are the contents of my designer handbag. Today’s flavor? Coach. Here goes:

2 wallets (one for credit cards and money; the other for coupons and loose change)

A small pocket Bible

Makeup bag (MAC, of course; foundation, lipstick, blush, eyeliner, lipliner and brushes)

Cell Phone

Sharpie Pen (you know, to label the kid’s drinks when we go out to eat. Doesn’t everybody have one?)

Hair Clips (to hold back the lovely strands while I’m driving)

Large hair brush (the hair thing again)

Two small boxes of tissues

Coccoa Butter stick (you never know when you’ll need coccoa butter)

Bottled Water

2 containers of lotion

Business Card holder (always ready to network!)

Eyeglasses and Case

Food Log Diary (I write down everything I eat, no matter what and where I am. 20 lbs. to go…)

Well, there you have it. Not too much, is it? I’d love to see your list or pic’s. Do share.

What’s in YOUR handbag?

Show Me Your Stuff: Contents Of A Designer Handbag Diva

Saturday, I went shopping for my long awaited Dolce & Gabanna handbag (yay!) and was quite pleased when I got home and admired it for hours and hours. Really…not kidding. Anyway, my daughter walked into the room while I was whispering sweet nothings to my bag and commented on how pretty it was and asked if I had gotten her one. I gasped! This, coming from a child who has shown NO interest or unnatural characteristics (much like mom) in designer handbags. I mean none. She has never hinted or even asked to have my old ones. I have previously thought about having the child examined, but decided against it when my husband said that having that done would be unnatural as well. Anyway, she asked if she could get a designer handbag too. And again, after I closed my mouth, I asked if she wanted a Dolce & Gabanna, like mom. Of course I held my breath because these bags are incredibly expensive. But, she said no. She knew what she wanted and it wasn’t a Dolce & Gabanna. She wanted a Coach bag. Isn’t that cute! And, how appropriate for her as a “newbie” and as her first designer bag.

I’m pretty proud of my daughter for making such an important life decision. The coffers are open again and the mad savings have begun. This my friends is why I blog. I love the designer handbag life and now am even more happy that my daughter is following in my footsteps.

Oh, and what about my long-awaited Dolce & Gabanna? Well, I will be making a post about it later on, complete with pictures and poses. It will be a treat! Be sure to check in often to take a look.

And, what about the Business Channel’s take your kid to work day? Well, my daughter actually wrote a post about the Jonas Brothers and her work-at-home mom (go figure), but of course I’m having her to re-write it and talk about her journey to the designer handbag Coach life.

After all, can’t have the kid straying away from important issues, now can I?
