It’s been long since I had a “what’s in my bag” post. Owing to the fact that my bags aren’t all that exciting. I’ve been looking for a decent bag for a long time. The Proenza Schouler PS1 is high on my list, unfortunately that bag and my purse strings can’t get along and I settled for a decent lookalike from Country Road instead.

I wish it was bigger so it can contain my Macbook. Goes to show that I can’t have everything in life.  Enough of the bag.

Up till this point while staring at the picture, I think you would only notice that orange Tide pen. Since everything else is black, it makes it a pain to look for stuff in that black abyss of things. Why there is a Tide pen is an even bigger mystery since most of my clothes are black and I don’t need to remove stains from them immediately anyway.

Anyway, here’s the stuff that’s in there:

  • Country Road Bag
  • Name card case with monoxious name cards in there
  • iPhone 3GS
  • m)phosis bag organiser with my makeup stash
  • Moleskine notebook (loads of ideas in there)
  • Fashionary notebook
  • Louis Vuitton Wallet
  • Totes mini umbrella (almost used to death)
  • Foldable headphones (ingenious designnnnn~!!!)
  • and *ahem* Tide Pen

And now I wanna know what’s in YOUR bag. Post it in your blog and leave a trackback here.

Brainchild of Fashion/graphic designer Penter Yip, Fashionary is a sketchbook designed with the fashion industry in mind. It features useful information like Brand lists, measurement charts, basic patterns, flat drawings, lists of books and websites related to fashion.

I managed to get my hands on these while there was like only 30 copies of it available on their Esty store early this month. They arrived a few days ago safe in my hands. As I opened the package I noticed how similar they are to Moleskine notebooks.

And I have to say, I really do like my Moleskine. I carry them with me all the time. I jot down ideas, to-do lists, shopping lists, blog urls and even has a list of stores I visit when I’m in New York. That being said, it was just not enough, the lines I have on the Moleskin just doesn’t cut it when I want to sketch down my ideas.

Going back to the Fashionary book. The size is about A5, much bigger than the A6 sized Moleskine that I carry, despite that, I do like this size cause it’s good for drawing and sketching. It features 130pages of pages with barely visible figure templates to allow you to sketch easily and quickly without having to worry too much about proportion and consistency.
