I started In My Bag as an extension of my exploration of the stuff that I possess—I was interested in the things I carry with me and how they’re useful (or why they’re not).

- Four notebooks. Two Apica ruled notebooks (size CD15 in green, size CD11 in white); one Kyokuto ruled notebook (cadmium red); and one Moleskine squared cahier.
- White MacBook. 13.3 inches. Power cable, not pictured.
- Blue LG Chocolate
- Round sunglasses, Forever 21.
- Cablevision bill, due November 5.
- Application for United States Postal Service Box Service.
- Green wallet, Chloe.
- Purple pencil case. Filled with randomness.
- Micron pen in Earth.
- Not For Tourists NYC. It belongs to Robert via Ken.
- Grey and red arm warmers, Urban Outfitters.
- Clear plastic business card holder, Muji.
- Firelite external hard drive, shown with USB 2.0 cord.
- Maybelline Great Lash mascara.
- MAC lip stain.
- Brambleberry Rose lip balm, Rosebud Perfume Co.
- Hand sanitizer, Duane Reade.
- Headphones
- Keys.
- Nikon Coolpix L18, not pictured.
This is a pretty good representation of what I carry when I leave the house for a 4-5 hour stretch. I don’t typically carry this many notebooks, but the small white Apica is a designated notebook for a project I’m currently working on, and I’m culling the green Apica for old blog post material. Also, I usually carry an emergency scarf with me for unexpected chills or bad hair events, but today I was already wearing it.
I’m always fascinated by the things other people carry with them, too. So feel free to do your own In My Bag post and link it in the comments!

Great post (as always), I should do one of these, it’ll make me realise just how much unnecessary stuff I carry around with me! I may give it a go tonight :)
