What’s in my Bag
If you really want to know a person, look in their bag.
Not in a nosy way, but in that “show me what gets you through the day” kind of way.
My bag is like a quiet reflection of my life — the balance between functionality and comfort, chaos and calm. It’s not always perfectly organized, but somehow, it makes sense to me.
The Bag Itself: Overbrooke Large Vegan Leather Tote — Women’s Slouchy Shoulder Bag
My current carry-all is the Overbrooke Large Vegan Leather Tote — a soft, slouchy vegan leather bag that feels effortlessly chic but still practical. The open-top design gives it that relaxed, throw-it-all-in energy (which, honestly, matches my personality most days), while the inside is lined with a suede-like material that feels as cozy as it looks.
It’s roomy enough to hold my entire life — from my journal to my lip gloss — but still structured enough to look elegant when I’m heading from class to coffee to work. There’s even a large snap pocket inside for easy access to the essentials I always reach for.
It’s one of those bags that makes you feel put together, even when your day isn’t.
It’s not just an accessory — it’s a quiet companion for the girl who carries her world with her.
The Essentials
Wallet & keys — the non-negotiables. My keys have a tiny gold coffee-cup keychain (because, of course).
Phone & headphones — music keeps me grounded between classes, errands, and everything in between.
The Comfort Kit
Lip gloss (shiny brown, always) — my signature. A swipe of gloss can fix almost anything.
Hand cream — my current favorite smells like cashmere and vanilla; it feels like a hug for my hands.
Mini perfume — Cheirosa 71 by Sol de Janeiro — sweet, cozy, and a little flirtatious. It lingers softly, like warmth.
The Creative Bits
Notebook + pen — for thoughts, poetry lines, and SincerelyMocha ideas that find me mid-latte.
Highlighters — pastel, because soft colors make studying feel less stressful.
The Small Luxuries
Scrunchie — for when my hair decides it’s done cooperating.
Snack — usually a chocolate chip granola bar, because caffeine alone won’t save me (I’ve tried).
Crystal or charm — right now it’s a small rose quartz for love and grounding.
The Meaning
My bag isn’t just a collection of items — it’s a reflection of what I need to feel safe, creative, and seen.
It’s full of tiny comforts that keep me connected to myself — the scent that reminds me of calm, the poem that reminds me I’m healing, the gloss that reminds me I can still shine on bad days.
It’s more than what I carry — it’s who I’m becoming.
