inside my bag : an in depth report
September 30, 2005lately, i have realized that the insides of my chloe paddington bag is hard to reach due to it’s soft, supple distressed leather. how? the size, compartments and side pockets of this purse are just cryptic enough that every nook and angle of the bag can hide it’s contents and it ends up hard to find. i usually fumble my way to reach my keys, phone or pager. one day at target, i almost dropped everything on the floor in an attempt to grasp my ringing cellphone. it sure beats the hell out of the fendi spy bag, who promises secret storage inside this must-have accessory since spring. this chloe in-demand bag claims it has the functionality and unparalleled leather luxury but fails to mention it’s heavy padlock, monstrous enough to cause serious health issues. still, the status of this purse elevates you beyond likeness. not really. up until pages of the magazines plastered pictures of celebs toting the crumbled leather-looking bag, others barely recognize it’s appeal. what really makes a bag, THE bag to have?
for me, as long as it carries my daily essentials, they are good to go. as long as it has enough room to carry the shitload of stuff i tow everyday, it will be an integral part of my wardrobe. crucial enough for me to find outfits revolving around the acquired in-the-moment purse. for my bone colored paddington, i have worn colorful clothes this past summer and on towards the fall season. it’s neutral color does not clash with my multi-colored tunics, embroidered jeans or bejeweled sandals. it’s best with white denim matched with any multi-hued blouse or shirt.
the most important thing with your purse is what’s inside it. mine carries my whole life. what’s inside yours? take a look inside mine……
Oh Paz, you’re just as lipgloss addict as I am.Let’s see, I have at least three kinds of lipgloss or lipbalm in my purse, too. LipFusion in Glow, Dessert deliciously kissable plumping lip fragrance gloss (I just had to add that)in slide, MAC Lipglass in Viva Glam V and Bonne Bell lipbalm. I have cellphone, wallet, keys, a pen, hand sanitizer and hand lotion.
The paddington looks really heavy. But the leather feels soft and luscious. What’s new for fall, by the way?

hi shelly! fashion radar across america dictates the latest in fall trends : gold chunky jewelry, anything shearling, anything velvet, satin or brocade, wedge boots, victorian lacy tops with military jacket!
not really my style, but hey, you’re updated!

Hi Paz, When you sent that Aloha Rag link, my friend said the Paddington weighs 3 lbs when empty. Can you imagine if it had my stuff in it? It would weigh much more. My poor back! So we promptly forgot about it.
What’s in my bag? It’s a mess! It’s got my paystubs, my LV wallet and multicles, Zicam nasal moisturizer (for last week’s colds), Kerastase Nutri- Sculpt, pill box of Excedrin Migraine and Tylenol, a small vial of Marc Jacobs Blush, a Lancome pouch with MAC Lipglass in Lust, lipstick in Twig, tinted lip conditioner in Plum Perfect, lipliner in Spice, Blistex and Stila lipstick in Pixie. My make up bag and sunglasses stay in the bag. Less to carry!
This post is helpful: I need to clean my bag ASAP.

Sorry, I meant my make up bag and sunglasses stay in the CAR, not my bag.
