Tory Burch plaid coat + Gucci small Marmont bag

I didn’t intend to go on a week-long hiatus from the blog, but the last few days seemed to get away from me! I was incredibly sleepy in the morning thanks to the time change and still too tired after work to put any thought into worthwhile posts. That paired with my unhealthy obsession with watching the NCAA tournament led to an awfully unproductive week!

That said, let’s talk about this outfit, shall we? I feel like I’m finally settling into my personal style groove and this outfit is such a testament to that. I consistently fall back into to a modern classic aesthetic and I’m working to streamline my closet to fit with that vision and to bring some of my old favorites to the forefront again. I’ve had the dress for eight or nine years now, the coat is a favorite from a few years back, and while the bag and loafers are new, they’re such versatile pieces. I’m also rediscovering my first sartorial passion: vintage jewelry. I’m a costume jewelry die hard in all of its forms, but nothing is better than finding a special vintage piece. It feels really good to have a streamlined vision for my closet again and while I’ll dapple in the occasional trend, I’d much rather keep my focus (and spending) on the pieces that will get the most mileage year after year. Granted, this will lead to a lot of repeat performances of individual pieces on the blog, so I hope remixing items is just as inspirational as coveting new arrivals!

What Fits Inside the Gucci Small Marmont Bag?

February 16, 2018 by jessica 3 Comments

When I posted a snapshot of my beloved new bag on Instagram last week, I had a few people ask me what fits inside. So, I thought I’d do a quick post with my daily essentials so you can see if this purse is the right size for you.

What Fits Inside the Gucci Small Marmont Bag?

I don’t carry many items with me on the regular, so the small GG Marmont shoulder bag is perfect for holding all of my essentials with plenty of room to spare. You’ll always find me toting around the following:

  • Sunglasses
  • Credit card case with a few dollar stuffed inside in lieu of a full wallet
  • Mirror
  • iPhone
  • Phone charger (on the weekends, but not the work week)
  • Lipstick
  • Not pictured: inhaler, tissues, floss, mini hair brush

What Fits Inside the Gucci Small Marmont Bag?

(Before we move on, though, I must sing praises about this phone charger. It can fully charge an iPhone five times before its battery depletes. The relatively slim profile makes it easy to carry around all day, especially when you’re on vacation. Plus, you can plug in two phones at once.)

What Fits Inside the Gucci Small Marmont Bag?

I put my sunglasses in their bulky case and there’s still room at the top of the purse for extra items. As I mentioned, I’m not one to bring a large wallet with me. If you are, this Kate Spade billfold technically fits inside, but you won’t be able to hold much else and you’ll likely prefer a larger bag. If you pare down your essentials like I do, then it’s an excellent option that feels spacious. Let me know if you have any questions about the size. It’s surprisingly difficult to take good photos of the inside of a bag!

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
