My bag’s about 5 inches tall and 7 inches wide. It’s beginning to bulge, and I can’t find a perfect one anywhere.
Cute! Adore your postcards. Totally random question: What type of Bose headphones do you have?
I always have 2 cameras, my huge wallet, makeup, a moleskin, a hairbrush, perfume, hand sanitizer, hand lotion, business cards, usually a water bottle, sometimes a book….to be honest it is out of control. and just the other day i had the old lady hunchback vision flash before my eyes as I realized my shoulder was already aching from lugging it all day. ugh. it is a sickness…i just CAN“T downsize!

Please check it out: www.ninamagic.blogspot.com/
Moleskine and a pen
Extra shoes
Scarf of some description
Wallet which I need to replace!
Nokia cellphone
Currently loads of antibiotics and Nurofen (for infected wisdom tooth)
My keys with 5 key rings and 4 keys
Fruit/raw nuts
Lipgloss (some random one from the Auckland Cup races) Nivea lipbalm and MAC lippy
My bag is an ancient green Jeans West bag, I can’t seem to put it in the bin though…. it’s just the perfect slouchy shape!
I used to have a Helio Ocean too. I switched to a sidekick though because it ended up not being what I wanted. :[
Oh I looove what’s-in-my-bag photos!
I’m with you on the moleskine obsession— I have a plain one that I’ve turned into a hand-drawn planner, and I really don’t think I could function without it being nearby at all times!
Aside the usual wallet-keys-phone holy trinity, I rarely go anywhere without my iPod and a a6 hardback “Black n’ Red” spiral notebook. Chances are (especially in my bigger bag) there’s a bunch of art/writing materials, sketchbook, business cards, itty-bitty diary, squared Moleskine, a paperback novel and a handful of humbugs in there too. Made sure my latest phone had a decent camera so I wouldn’t need to cart mine everywhere any more.
I vary my bag depending on how much waiting around I expect to do wherever I’m taking it.
Yours is stunning though. Love the bunny charm on it.
Did you go to the Lush in the Eaton Centre? I used to work there!
I carry:
Keys with nine GB of portable memory sick awesomeness
Milk Planet Diary from Chinatown
Kelly Green Wallet
Ancient iPod Nano (1st edition baby, whoot!)

coincidentally, i was also carrying a lush butterball today! i usually carry my phone, purse, keys and ipod, with a book and a cardigan. currently reading fear and loathing in las vegas!
I love the bag and the mirror. Right now my I have my makeup, Ipod (in original white), skull-candies, and a tiny creepy hitman doll in my purse. That and a crap load of pens and loose change which reproduce every time I count them.
PS- Please feel free to stop by my new blog. It’s still really tiny but I’m going to make it great!
My purse du jour is by Jenny Boston. Inside: MaggiB wallet, My Wicked Garden lip balm, pocket-sized Moleskine, vintage Ray-Ban Cats in a Balmain case, blue Bic lighter, ball point pen from The Greenbriar, keys!
Gah, I don’t have a proper bag yet (just an old tote bag, but hopefully getting this one soon: tinyurl.com/cpw5lg), but on a daily basis I carry around… – LG Dare – iPod 80gig – A Book (Currently Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone) – My wallet (With old concert tickets, my friends Senior Pics, and a buisness card for Leiberman photography with Cody Sheldon on the front and back) – My camera (An Optio Z10 – My Sunglasses (F1380’s from Forever 21)
im sad to see you smoke :(
I wouldn’t think that you of all people would smoke (you actually said once you “didn’t endorse it, it turns your mouth into a cat’s butt” or something to that extent.)
Hmmmmmmm….
Sam Bard — I don’t endorse it, it’s stupid & gross, but I do smoke when I drink sometimes.
trivia:The helmet of Asterix was based on the Gauloises Blondes cigarette logo.
I like that you’re carrying around a bathbomb. Ready to luxuriate at any moment! (or perhaps you just bought it hence Lush receipt also floating around in your bag atm, but ima pretend the former is the reason anyway)
_
Eva — Haha, YES! Ready to throw into a puddle for instant bathtime fun!
I hate carrying loads of things round in my bag because a lot of stuff gets crushed and my shoulder and lower back starts to kill, so it spoils whatever it is I’m doing.

Am I the only one who read blotting papers and thought “blotter acid”? Damn, I need help.
My current purse is a big silver thing on which I painted a robot in love (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/eviljen/MyRobotPurse.jpg if you’re curious). I probably don’t carry anything too interesting.
-a shiny red wallet, devoid of cash

I’m always appalled at the amount of “stuff” in my bag at any given moment. I have to go through it weekly (or whenever my back starts to ache) to get it down to something manageable! I’m a typical scatterbrain Pisces :)

What a beautiful juicy raspberry bag that is!
Hmm, currently I’m carrying a green embroidered bag from India, containing my ‘hooker red’ leather wallet, various lotions and sunscreens, my keys, a small makeup bag, my cell phone, and… a dictionary.
That’s right. Word nerds unite!
Uh, my giant bag I take to uni???
- Pink sony laptop.
- phone
- a very fat book.
- water bottle.
- keys
- lip gloss.
- tampons.
- neurofen.
- a thermal top (Auckland winters….)

Suffering bag envy at the moment. I’m dying to get my grubby little hands on those Matt and Nat bags. They’re so fucking amazing.
I carry too much in a tiny little zara cream and black handbag :)
Usual assortment consists of keys, phone, urban outfitters purse (love), marlboro lights, lighter, ipod, assorted gum/sweets, pink buddy holly sunglasses, three kinds of MAC lipwear (addicted, it’s true), a UCAS trawl form, a list of my driving lesson times, a pink comb, MAC powder compact, and contact lens/glasses
I love your handbag! Droolworthy.
I’m with Kati- a few pads are a must in my bag.If I don’t have them, then i’m definatly going to need them, so its best to play it safe.
I love these posts! I like making lists of things that are to be put/already in my bags. Even potential scenarios (If I was to go to Tahiti, what would I bring?) I have so much fun packing things, I almost feel sad about it.
When I carry a purse, it usually has:
- Lipgloss and/or chapstick
- Wallet (often with no money, sadly)
- ID
- Keys
- Cell Phone
- Spare pen
- Mp3 player and headphones
- Nail clippers!
- A pad or two
- A mini hairbursh with a mirror on the back (Hair ties too!)
- An extra pair of knee-high stockings (just in case)
- Sketchbook
- Spiderman pencil case filled with colored pencils and such
- A deck of cards
- A bottle of bubbles
- A soda bottle (full or empty, its always there)
- Hot pink wallet with Horton from Horton Hears A Who in the photo space
- iPod with hot pink Belkin metal and acrylic case, and pale pink headphones
- Nokia 6500 classic in black, with a white and pink bunny phone sock
- Artline pen, black biro, blue Parker pen
- Moleskine daily diary
- Blue and white flowered book (for writing down everything I spend)
- Cupcake print makeup bag and coin purse
Well, my bag’s contents today weren’t all that exciting, just what I needed for a trip to the zoo:
~Money
~Cell phone
~Lunch
~Camera
~Chapstick
I do think that normally your bag can say so much about you, and mine typically is jampacked with tons of random stuff (a Roald Dahl or Agatha Christie book, a plastic headband in case it rains and I need to swap, a huge sparkly lipgloss collection, random Star Wars figures, mints, organic fig newtons, etc.). But today I did NOT want to hike around the zoo for eight hours toting fifty pounds haha.
Gala I loooove that you’re in Canada!! Hopefully our beautiful country is treating you well. :)
I’m definitely going to be a hunchback though…
lulu waterbottle; wallet; samsung instinct; green ipod; green lo-fi skullcandys; silver earbud skullcandys; pink camera; eccolo daily scribbler; work planner; random pieces of jewellery; lush charity pot lotion (I work at a crazy salt mine in the summer, I need it 24/7); tons of old receipts; ballmania lipbalm balls (like 5 of em); beatles abbey road cd; glasses; sunglasses (40’s pair, gold aviators, and some black is designs); lush solid perfumes; headbands and hairties; omg so much more stuff.. this made me realize I need to do some ‘purse housecleaning’ haha.

PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH BLOGS- I am considering starting my own blog, and I was wondering if people think it is better to use a free website like blogger, or pay to get my own website. Thank you
Gala,
I was just thinking, you have so many graphic design friends (Nubby, Star, and me! hehe) We should all make you a business card design- you could get X amount printed of each and shuffle them all together, which I think would be hot!

I empty my bag so infrequently that there are usually a dozen paycheck stubs when I do get around to it. When downsizing bags to go out, I tend to just pull out the things I need for the evening and replace them….
Currently the important items include:

. a bottle of naproxen (headaches lately are killing me)
. Philosophy Gratitude lip gloss
. travel lint removal sheets (kitten hair everywhere!)
. pink volant Moleskine

I usually have mail to be sent and a book to be read too, but since I’m home at the end of the day, those things are missing.
My whole life is definitely in my purse..
Yellow Ipod; tip money; Paul Frank wallet; Nikon D60; Budweiser lighter; Export “A” Gold’s; Spitz; Cellphone; Aviators; Bubble Yum (!!); A couple of pens; Leopard print makeup bag; Vitamins; Keys with a Disney Princess key chain; And of course a bottle of water. :)

My poor bag was stuffed to the gills… I’ve got to edit what’s in there!
i used to have a much bigger messenger style bag, but it died a horrible death one day, and i was broke and found a mysterious purse in my apartment that contained an invite to a party for someone i’d never met and about a million crispy kreme coupons. since i worked at a small, family owned and amazing bakery at the time, i knew it wasn’t mine and had no clue where it came from.
currently it’s filled with:
three dollar bills, someone else’s cigarette lighter, my character sheet for d&d, some sinus pills, two paper clips, two condoms (one studded and one purple), some vintage earrings my mother gave me, two black fountain pens, a few spare green ink cartridges, one sparkly googly eyed bat hairclip, a receipt from my local library so i don’t forget what books i need to find in my messy apartment and return, a medal from the steam century role playing game at nobrand con ( http://www.hmabadger.com/ ), my own black cigarette lighter, a white hairtie with a swarovski crystal studded flower i found in the branches of a tree last week, my best friend’s bracelet made from the coin charms attached to an old purse, the slutty red lipgloss, the demure lip gloss, and the medium to slutty red lipstick, a scrap of green lace i used as a bracelet awhile ago, some lancome concealer, a medal from a science museum i’ve never gone to, my FBI agent flipbook thing which contains a small notebook, a strap for a little mini pen, and a pocket for my i.d.s and cards and such… (i need to get a new notepad for it, all the pages are used up.) the ring my imaginary vampire boyfriend got me when i was sixteen, and three bottles of scent oil: twisted peppermint by bath and body works, almost gone and discontinued as an oil, black phoenix alchemy labs’ limited edition lick it like you mean it, which still has about four drops, and a half full bottle of peppermint essential oil, which has a lovely cool burn effect on the skin in the heat. assorted napkins, straw wrappers, bank receipts, ect.
i need to clean out my purse.
i am waaaaay way too interested in what other people carry around in their bags.
HEY!
I have a question, which one of you lovelies may be able to help me with.
Has anyone tried that new ModelCo Fiber Lashes?

I’m not going to detail what I’m carrying around in my bag, because it scares me in there.
I have a small black and white dickies canvas bag that I carry with me everywhere. The problem is that is has no pockets or divided spaces inside, so everything just gets chucked in together, and I can’t find anything. My cellphone rings, it’s in there somewhere! By the time I empty everything out to find my phone it’s stopped ringing. My car keys are in there, I think… I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had to turn out my bag by the side of the road at night to try and find them. All I seem to find when I look in there is about 7 tubes of lip balm, and some tampons.
I need a new bag. It’s pretty sad. :(
Hmmm, I’m seeing all sorts of useful things in other people’s lists. It seems to me that the contents of my bag need an upgrade!
Whats in my bag? hmmm well..
-marmite sammies!
-mid-term report
-packet of tissues
-a sock??
-current read..
-impulse, merely musk
-cheetah print umbrella (love!)
-hand sanitizer

-millions of vicks vapour drops
-twink pen
-usb & cord

-ipod touch
-rubber

Now, I just carry a school bag, which I won’t be carrying much anymore seeing as today is the last day of this school year for me…
I love bright coloured hand bags! Mine is bright green! But usually I just put everything in my camera bag.
*Canon 450D *Canon zoom lens *Blue Ipod Nano, with cheap Philips headphones *Wallet, it’s red and beaded *Keys – well it’s basically One key and four keyrings *Spare Battery for camera *8GB Memory Stick *Cheap Nokia phone *Photobooth photos *Hair cut appointment card *Leaves (?) – It’s autumn! * A pen
It’s a small bag, and very heavy!!
* Wallet- Cards, Cash, MetroCard, assorted fortunes from fortune cookies and receipts. *Moleskine x 3- One for poems, one for the blog, one paneled sketchbook. *Keys- None of which go to anything I own any longer, but they’re on a HUGE fake diamond ring key chain my stepmom gave me for my birthday last year…in front of my boyfriend. Hilarious. *LG EnV phone- eligible for upgrade, but waiting til the new blackberry comes out this fall to make a decision. *Taster spoon from a particularly good first date. *Hunter College 09 Masters Graduation tassel. *Holga camera *Flip Mino HD Camcorder. LOVE it! *iPod *Nintendo DS with R4 card (yes I know I’m a dirty rotten thief!) *Loreal color juice lip gloss in “cherry on top” *MAX Factor shimmery gloss in “lookin’ good” *Sad Banana keychain by Yummy Breakfast via KidRobot *Sailor Jerry zippo lighter- free gift at Angels & Kings NYC *Geek Love by Katherine Dunn- yeah summer reading! *A heart shaped button?
i generally carry around like, three notebooks, a pen, some chapstick, my sidekick, my agenda, my keychain and listerine.
girl’s gotta have her listerine.
my bag recently has been this cute tote i got in epcot japan, with a girl drinking ramune on it. it’s all colours of teal, which makes me SO HAPPY.
must photograph it.
Cool! Your bag is a great colour, Gala. I was surprised to see that you smoke though (or that is what I am assuming) because you write so much great stuff about staying healthy and eating well, I guess I just thought it would carry over into all aspects of your life. Still love your blog though :)
In my bag…. *hairbrush * oyster card * house keys * library card * hair ribbons * plentiful supply of fruit * Forever 21 sunglasses * scarf * whatever I am reading – currently Hamlet again for an exam * pens * an inspiration notebook * hair ties * mini tube of Factor 50 suncream * mascara * tissues * strawberry lip balm * reusable water bottle * pennies :)
It doesn’t surprise me that you still have a metcard from New York! I still find em from few years ago :)
I have rubbish in my school bag, million text books, diary, wallet, car keys, water bottle, panadol, nurofen, dettol hand sanitiser, papaya lip stuff, a mandarin, loose change, papers, to do lists galore.
My hand bag; diary, current book, Nylon Mag, Vanity Fair (the book), ancient gold phone, papaya lip stuff, car keys, maybe a text book to read at doctors, work break, hair appt. etc :)
For all the great advice you offer, I can’t believe you smoke. Smoking kills, don’t you realise that?
How can you claim your life is together enough to offer people advice when you suck cancer inducing chemicals into your lungs?
And I think it’s incredibly wrong of you to have your smokes in your ‘what’s in my handbag’ photo. In a way, you really are making smoking look cool by putting it next to all of your fashionable items.
If you’re going to be a role model to some people, which you are whether you like it or not, you have a responsibility not to promote drugs. Yes, drugs. It may be legal but it’s a drug.
I always enjoyed looking at your page and this has really changed my opinion of you :(
Holy wow. I’m seeing a lot of random spam and complaints about smoking. Nonpareils, can we all keep in mind that whenever Gala made a new iCiNG post in the past, she expressed her opinions, whether she meant to or not. Through these posts, we see that she’s pro-gay marriage, pro-Obama, pro-masturbation, etc. We see that she enjoys fashion, unicorns, and cupcakes. And now we see that she just so happens to enjoy cigarettes every now and then.
She didn’t start a blog to be censored. She has the right to include whatever she wants in her posts.
AHEM. All rambling aside though, here is the contents of a Canadian teen’s (school/everything else) bag.
-Ipod + headphones
-Book of poetry (George Elliott Clarke!)
-A copy of Romeo and Juliet (For english class, of course, but it’s nice to read at random times)
-Notebooks (LOTS OF THEM!)
-Pens, pencils, pencil sharpeners, erasers (Never know when or where the writing bug will bite me)
-A red-and-white polka dot bow (From a present my dearest friend gave me a while ago)
-Hair clips
-Bus tickets (For impromptu adventures, of course)
-Lighter (Never know when it’ll come in handy)
I loath carrying bags around. They are a nuisance and they hurt my back. Usually I just stuff my wallet and my phone in my pockets and go.
I do however have a bag for when I need it. I quite like it actually, it’s from H&M and it’s just small enough to not be too cumbersome but yet it fits a lot of stuff. In it currently:
phone
silver cigarette case that I turned into a wallet
lip balm (2 kinds, burts bees and Softlips organic)
sunblock (Alba)
bottle of hotel size lotion
receipts and time slips
lighter
loose change
assorted jewelry
tissues
Tide to go pen
pen
planner (sometimes)
a bubble bottle in the shape of a Duck, to blow bubbles at oblivious passerby ;)
assorted other junk
I’m re-writing my FAQ right now & I am totally going to include something about smoking because everyone is so SHOCKED whenever it comes up.
Yes I smoke sometimes, & have done, off & on, since I was 12 years old. I go through phases — sometimes I will smoke a pack a day, sometimes I won’t touch a cigarette for a year or two. At this point I smoke when I’m out drinking, which actually doesn’t happen that often, because I’m not a big drinker. I’ve been very open about the fact that I think smoking stunted my growth at a young age, which is totally not awesome. But how weird would it be to take the cigarettes out of the photo?
To some degree I am a role model for people, but at the same time, I am also a person who doesn’t always do things everyone agrees with, & I am not going to censor myself. That’s not who I am.
I think it’s important to show a realistic view of who you are, & I’m NOT a saint & I’m NOT perfect. I know lots of uber-healthy, superhero-esque raw foodists who smoke pot like it’s going out of style, you know? No one is Mother Teresa, & I don’t want to be, anyway… I think it’s important & even fun to embrace the contradictions, that’s what makes us human.
Okay rant over ;D
EVERYTHING gives you cancer. Standing next to a car starting up gives you cancer. Eating too much gives you cancer. BREATHING gives you cancer. I gave up smoking because it was a change I needed to make in my life to make myself healthier, because dammit, I sure wasn’t going to give up eating cake and pies. Good for you Gala, for doing what you want to do.
PS. Everyone KNOWS smoking makes you look cool ;)
i cannot STAND rampant anti-smokers. rude, rude, rude. and that is all i am going to say about that.
my bag is a huge black leather thing with patent straps, studs and leather ruffles – it is goth as hell and i love it. currently it holds:
- a copy of this month’s frieze magazine<BR> – a copy of this month’s i-D magazine<BR> – 20 marlboro lights<BR> – silver polished zippo<BR> – purse (brown leather with embroidered butterflies, containing a few £££, a quartz crystal, my oyster card, my keycard, my university id, photocopier card, NUS card, organ donor card and some other bits)<BR> – my voting card for the parliamentary elections tomorrow!<BR> – a hand mirror which reads “i am a deeply superficial person” (andy warhol) on the back<BR> – dior addict ultra lip gloss in 757<BR> – red moleskine daily planner<BR> – black wayfarer sunglasses<BR> – sidekick slide<BR> – keys (many)<BR> – 1.5l bottle of evian<BR> – 80gb silver ipod classic<BR>
rawr, gala, your automatic new lines aren’t working for me :[
Using post cards instead of regular business cards? I might be behind the times but I do declare that is INGENIOUS.
The bunny mirror is pretty spiffy too.
I see you’re carrying around gauloises. While they have a certain image, do you smoke? I was just wondering. I don’t know anyone who isn’t against the practice, and I don’t mean to judge you.
Oops, ignore that last comment. I just read your reply to someone else’s.
OMG How much do I want a bunny compact like that!
Is there anywhere you can buy them online?
my bag is empty. i am travelling in montreal and every night when I get home to my little nook I take everything out and write in my website and listen to music and dream.
thanks for being you Gala.

Glad there’s another adult who loves Teen Vogue! I prefer it to adult Vogue.
Just because smoking’s been mentioned: if anyone who reads this smokes, and would like to stop, totally read Allen Carr’s book!!! I’ve recently quit after being a heavy smoker for 10 years, and it’s a bloody awesome feeling! :)
Always with me are my wallet and cellphone, ipod and headphones, american spirit yellows and a lighter, and packet of birth control. next additions if there’s room are my current read, notebook and pen, and then my pipe and stash. i keep it simple and prefer depending on my wits and guile to lugging my entire estate along with me.
My bags have pockets which is best so I can at least seperate things. In mine is
Diary, many many reciepts,map of perth, some business cards of business’s, middle of my bag is gloss, lip balm, powder compact, clear mascara, tissues, mints, phone, wallet, keys, earphones for phone, sometimes my charger when my phone dies, still more reciepts, painkillers, polo’s, powder brush, Avon blemish stick,throat lozenges, pen, and Berroca. Attached to my bag is a climbing clip to clip my keys on as I HATE rumaging through my bag for my keys and also attached is a water bottle clip to clip a water bottle on (purchased from Fremantle Markets)
Nowadays I just carry my wallet and keys in my hand as I am annoyed with my large bag. (oh and in my wallet is gum, and a small lip balm, emergencies).
x
I have the whole makeup in my bag. i like the large bags but small bags are also cute
I kind of love the fact that you have a Love-chan keychain. :) ちょうかわいいい！！
What Betsey shades are they? I have a cool pair which are hexagon-shaped. I looove them.
I suppose this will give me a chance to clean/organize my purse?
Currently using this freakin’ sweet Goosebumps bag I bought off Etsy.
Contents? – 2 bandanas [1 green and one black Jack Daniels] – 2 flyers for the boyfriend’s band [His band’s playing with a Doors cover band, I’m kinda excited] – little Hello Kitty bag that originally contained a candy necklace and bracelet, now a change purse – random receipts, mainly for Super America. I work there and they insist on us keeping a copy of our receipts so they know we didn’t steal the merch. – so many pens! – gum – anti-obama pins. [Not that I hate the man. My brother is a rather conservative republican and was handing them out. Why I still have them in there, I don’t know.] – keychain – suckers – bus schedules – little Moleskine sketchbook – Animal Farm – deodorant [two of them!] – Benadryl and tissues – phone charger – comb – little Wolverine and Joker action figures – Ibuprofen – lip balm – eyeglass case – contact holder thing and cleaning solution – eye drops – cigarettes, lighters, and Camel coupons – tampons – batteries – Ipod and headphones [Skullcandy earbuds and/or headphone] – wallet – phone
And that’s small compared to what it used to be? Jeez… Too much stuff and all of it’s necessary[except for one of the deodorants].
