Lovely! I have several must-haves, but I think the most important is a pen and pad of paper. I always seem to need them while I'm out and about.

lizzy said...

three cheers for handmade.

in my purse, i must always have a camera, but i don't think it would fit into this pouch. but i'm addicted to lip gloss and i just bet that might fit ;)

Ashley Morris said...

For a purse I have to have a pocket somewhere so I can keep my easy-reach things (like a pen, chapstick, phone)...well, easy to reach!
For a pouch it has to be about the size of my mascara, so that I can put my little makeup things in...or maybe just my license and money if I need to :)

Can't have just one must-have, so here are my top three:

Awesome pouch! I MUST have the iPhone in the purse. Must. :)

love the bags. My bag must be big and have lots of pockets. It often becomes a "Mary Poppins" bag because it must be able to hold a bunch of stuff for work. ie: lunch, flip flops, umbrella, and a book. These would be perfect to tote around!

Anonymous said...

I carry a large purse, mainly because I have a lot of "must haves".

-wallet
-a mini wallet that holds all my gift cards and "savings" cards (ie. grocery store cards, etc.) There is NO way my wallet would close if they were all in there!
-keys
-cell phone
-journal
-camera
-medicine (tylenol, motrin, alergy -meds ... because you NEVER know!)
-dental floss
-mascara & bronzer


I did a post awhile back, but my must haves are still the same! You can see it here:

Unknown said...

I have a 2.5" Wilson Leather planner which I store my must haves in. It carries my money, extra keys, cards, Moleskine sketchbook & notebook, a lined cheap notebook, writing utensils, and chapstick. It only cost me $2 but its my favorite carrier in the world!
