Hi guys! Happy early Valentine's Day! Here's a little preview of what I carry on a daily basis, minus my textbooks and iPad for college. This is my Michael Kors Hamilton that I got for my 18th birthday. I can't believe it's almost two years old! I keep everything pretty organized in my bag just because I like to switch them around so much.

Having a planner is a must have for me, so I normally carry bigger bags so that I can keep it with me at all times. I spent the entire summer looking for the perfect planner from Erin Condren to Filofaxes, but finally settled on this PlanAhead planner from Amazon that was around $12. It was fairly plain on the inside but I customize it with washy tape and stickers. I use it for shopping lists, an exercise diary, and also use it to stay organized with school.

If I'm just running errands and don't need a full Mary Poppins bag, I just carry my wallet with me. This was one of my Christmas presents from my parents, part of Christian Siriano's line with Payless. I love this wallet because it actually holds my giant phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 3).

Underneath of my wallet is my Kindle in my Urban Decay Vice 3 pouch. The case is actually meant to hold an iPad mini, but it fits my 6" Kindle just as well. I usually keep my earbuds in here too. I got this during Black Friday for such a good deal and use it all the time when I can't carry a book around. I love paperbacks but I must admit that the Kindle is perfect for when I've got a ton of stuff to carry around.

I don't always carry this with me, but on long days at school or work I do take my Benefit Cosmetic's makeup case. I carry a matte powder, kabuki brush, NYX Natural Slim Lip Pencil, oil blotting sheets, and a couple of other essential items I would use throughout the day.

Lastly is my Kate Spade case that I use for my pens and pencils! I have to carry something to write with at all times for when inspiration hits and for color coding homework assignments to stay organized. I also keep extra flash drives or memory cards in here.

So, what's your must-have item for your bag?
