Bag Lady (what's in my bag)

I was packing for my trip and I emptied my purse and it fell out like this, so i took a picture.




1. this is my summer bag. i tend to purchase bags that are interesting in their shape, but don't have spangle hardware, bells, whistle and other such nonsense. my bags represent me well. i purchased this sturdy canvas deisel sac two years ago. this lovely purse has a pretty lotus and blossom print that puts me a light breezy mood. it goes with everything i own and though it looks small, it's large enough to fit all my shit.

(in the event that i need more bag space, the mint and chocolate fabric can be folded and knotted into a gorgeous satchel. other days it's a head scarf or a blanket in the grass or a cover up on the cold ass subway.)

2.electronics (camera + charger, macbook pro + power block, ipod, phone + extra battery). when the new iphone releases later this month, i won't need to carry this stuff any more. happy birthday to me!

3. prayer beads and sutra booklet. when i'm especially stressed or angry or i just feel like i've disconnected from my practice, i bust these out.

4. summer fragrance. i'm more of a scented oils kind of girl, but i received this origins ginger essence fragrance when i was a teen, and i've worn it ever since. it's spicy and citrusy and it makes me think of off days in a quiet park napping under a tree, breeze blowing, sun shining... sigh...

5. bike permit, commuter rail ticket, metrocard. how i gets around. i never learned how to drive and conveniently, while public transportation save me a lot of money and the headache of owning a car, it also lowers my carbon footprint. i'm so on trend :P

6. current read. this is my third attempt at reading this book. it was a gift. the giver swore i'd love it. i hate it when people who don't know you all that well try to tell you what you'll like.

7. moleskin notebook + de la vega "too many thoughts". this is where i keep my dates, notes, writings, drawings, etc when i unplug.

That was fun! Have a good night :)
