What's in My Cross-Body Bags?

I've recently acquired a veritable slew of cross-body bags.  I bought myself a purple Target one back in early May then received two more for my birthday.  (Great Terminally stylish minds think alike.)  My mother surprised me with this petite white one from Coach over my birthday breakfast of homemade french toast, and my gorgeous ex-roommate Ashlee gave me the blue elephant-print Vera Bradley during my belated birthday dinner at Bone Fish Grille.

While it may sound a bit excessive to need three of the same style bag, I've managed to find specific uses for each of them.

1. The Coach one is tiny--I mean, tiny--and thus perfect for brunch, coffee dates, and the like.  I can pretty much only fit my iPhone, the absolute makeup necessities, my keys (and keychain i.d. thingy), and  a pack of Orbit Sweet Mint gum.

2. The Target one is essentially the same size as the Coach, but I prefer it for going out, in case I drop it, lose it, spill my drink on it, etc.

3. The Vera Bradley is close to double the size of the previous two, making it perfect for extended daytime outings.  It easily fits all of the above mentioned as well as my wallet, makeup bag and Kindle.

Do you have a cross-body bag?  Do you want one (or more)?  What do you think of my bags?

XOXO, T

Small Ulta Haul

Six items make for a minuscule purchase, particularly when compared to the insane amount I usually pick up at Ulta.  Some of this was from the NYX bogo sale, the polish is one I've been lusting after for a while, and the rest is a result of my powerlessness against the last second check-out line displays.  On to what I purchased (clockwise from top): NYX Eye Shadow in Blue Marine, NYX Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Beige and Nude Peach, Orly Nail Lacquer in Mysterious Curse, Benefit Realness of Concealness Mini "Fake-It" Kit, and EOS Lip Balm in Sweet Mint.

What do you think of my haul?  Do you have/want any of these items?  Did you pick anything up during the NYX bogo sale?

XOXO, T
