Letting the Cat Out of the (Balenciaga) Bag.

By The Starving Stylist on 11/18/2009

Filed Under:





This website above is my current new boredom buster when I have time to waste. I can spend hours creeping through images of crap people stash in their handbags without feeling remotely guilty that I invaded their personal belongings and frankly, who the hell doesn’t love to snoop?

Okayyyy sure. I am freakishly interested with the kind of junk people carry with them on a general daily basis. It could explain a lot in one’s personality, who they are and what they like. So, it’s basically a summarization of oneself in a handbag.

But right now, all I want to know is where all the really hardcore good stuff that’s hiding in the bags on the website? I know that BITCH with the ivory ostrich leather Chanel 2.55 or the SNOB with the Birkin has a baggy of coke or a bottle of laxatives and under-the-counter diet pills hidden somewhere in that God-almighty of designer handbags! No one is just ballsy enough to display it that’s all!


Soooooooo, you've seen whats in my bag. . .What's in YOURS?

In my Marc Jacobs Stam, I have the following

1. T - Mobile Sidekick III (I know, soo hood, but when you're unemployed, you take what you can get and for free)

2. Canon Digital Camera w/ touch screen capability

3. The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Lip Balm (it's poppin')

4. The Body Shop Hand Cream (I believe a portion of the proceeds of this particular cream go towards stopping sex trafficking)

5. Marc Jacobs key ring w/ keys

6. Bobbi Brown Warm Walnut Foundation Compact

7. a hair brush I bought in Argentina -- serious business for the worst hair days

8. Small bottle of Burberry Brit (Burberry is my go-to for scents)

9. Abas Clutch Wallet -- I have quite a few items from this company and I honestly love all of their leather accessories.

I think that's about it. Once, there was vomit inside of my purse, but that was a Marc Jacobs Alfred and he sits in the closet, unused.
When it's time to party, I will party haArRd.

I know, right? People would just never admit how much coke, Ambien and random lame crap they really carry around in their 2.55s... well, it's OK, honies. I've seen you and your bag contents in the bathroom at 3am - no further comments! LOL

I did an entry like this a couple years back and I carry sooo much shit in my bag it's not even funny (including a book) because I'm usually out and I might need stuff for "emergencies." =P

whats that silver bottle creeping outta the bag, is it what i think it is lol. I have like 3 belongings in my bag, my notebook, ipod and some pain killers.

Posted on November 19, 2009 2:01 AM  

Yeah, I bet the bag contents aren't really as candid as you would think... I mean come on, there's a reason we don't run around with those tacky clear bags Chanel once tried to make popular. LOVE your black Balenciaga messenger by the way (I just happened to have done a Balenciaga post). The leather on that particular one looks really soft!

At the moment I haaaave...book, magazine, water bottle, hand cleaning gel, bag of lollipops, owl coin purse, keys, mini torch, pencil case, notepad, umbrella, matches, and probably lots of stuff I can't remember lol.

Ha, love this!
I love messing and rummaging through my friend's bags, and I completely agree.
One can judge a person on the kind of things they pack with them.
I don't like to have a heavy load with me, so I try to keep it simple.
lola travel-size perfume,
burt's bee's chapstick,
sometype of gum, always!
my wallet, which varies in size, color, and shape
m.a.c concealer
water proof mascara
antibacterial spray
lotion
ipod
blackberry
and whatever else I happen to stuff in there.

I'm boring...phone, lipgloss, ID, credit card. It makes it easier to switch bags, but I never have what I need!

Posted on November 21, 2009 4:58 PM  

love this photo! i tend to just carry around a leather wallet but no cash in it, marc jacobs key chain, blackberry and a book - currently Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami.

Posted on November 22, 2009 2:19 AM  

You have everything in there...alcohol, condon, sunglasses, keys, wallet,....haha..

Posted on November 22, 2009 6:29 PM  

i think i might be obsessed with this website too..ughh...as if i need one more thing to distract me while i'm at work.

i couldn't agree more about being weirdly fascinated with the contents of a person's bag...glad i'm not alone lol

This is fabulous! #1 thing in my bag: at least 3 lip glosses of varying shades of pink. Just in case I can't find one, and then one is too pink, I'll be so lucky to have brought 3! And of course a million cards to pass out to anyone who'll take one!
Loving the posts!

You're insane... Hahaha! Who would show laxatives, diet pills and coke? Of course, they are hidden somewhere, maybe inside the make-up pouch.

Here is what's inside my bag:
