In the Bag

Have you ever seen a devastatingly fashionable girl, eyed up her bag and asked yourself, "I wonder what she's got in there?" Yeah, us too. Our voyeuristic sides delight in sneaking a peek at someone else's world.


Name: Maureen
Location: Madison, WI
Occupation: Writer
Bag: Martine Sitbon
In her bag: Quattro notebook (every writer's gotta have a notebook), cigs and backup cigs, glosses, keys, lighters, pen, wallet and cash. Special guest appearance by Kushi Bar satsuma fries (RIP delicious friends).
Favorite place in the world: My bed at the end of the day. It has pillows and blankets, there are lots of books and magazines next to it, and the person I share it with is pretty great.
Guilty pleasure: Down with guilt! Enjoy what you love and be kind to your fellow travelers.
Style icons: Kate Moss, Carine Roitfeld, Melanie Ward. All the Hitchcock blondes, but especially Kim Novak. My grandparents.
