I’ve been brightening up the inside of my purse lately. In addition to my purple wallet, I have a red phone, a turquoise business-card holder and a green datebook. I also have a heart-shaped, light-blue keychain by Aspinal, which I got in an issue of Tatler last year. I love that British magazines sometimes include little gifts. Why don’t U.S. magazines ever give me presents? Well, Sports Illustrated used to have the football phone free with subscription, but it wasn’t very pretty.
It looks like a football but works like a regular phone!
Back to my purse upgrade: I’ve just added a pink Lilly Pulitzer pen from gorgeous blogger The Preppy Princess.
Delightful wrapping paper
Ta da! 
A close-up of the pattern It’s very easy to find everything now.
As you can see from my keychain, I go to New York Sports Club. I hate it when I see people waiting on line to use a treadmill. Don’t they ever think of changing up their workout and trying the empty elliptical machine or bike or Stairmaster? That shizz annoys me.
I also go to NYSC
I love the classes!
Urban Rebounding? Just jumping on a trampoline for an hour <3
Love that light blue Prada purse!
Ooh so colourful! The pen is the perfect complement to your other purse contents.
I don’t do gym lineups; actually, I don’t do gyms, period. Only salsa dancing. The boys can line up to dance with me.
I’m all for bright colours in the purse. I have a hot pink passport holder, a red leather wallet an ex boss gave me one year for Christmas (it had $400 in it!) and a purple leather case for odds and ends. My iPod case is green! Yes, I clash! And I love it!
I also love that when I’m up late working like this, you always seem to post an entry just to nicely distract me. 🙂
Hi there-Yes, I always look forward to the freebies in our mags, it makes it worth buying them!!
“That shizz annoys me”- lovin’ that line right there. Haha. I like how color coded your purse is! Just don’t ever go color blind.
your purse innards look like easter! how lovley! 😉
Totally agree about the treadmill thing, luckily they’re not from me, I’m an Arc Trainer fan 🙂
Love the colourful items in your handbag!

gorgeous! I love colour too and have a green wallet, a hot pink diary, a hot pink notebook and a white phone, and pink pen.
Black is so dull.
It makes me feel the need to get organized. Most my purses are huge, I have little in them, and small things hide in corners.
Need to invest in some organizational things for purse stuff.
This makes me want all colourful things in my bag too. The Prada purses and green notebook are lovely!
i just noticed, it’s like easter colors!
we will have to be careful when we lunch on NYC – I have the exact same phone!
Your purse is like a gorgeous Easter basket – displaying all the beautiful pastel spring colours. I absolutely love your colour scheme and the new pen is very beautiful.
Haha, I just gym at really unpopular times.. i HATE stairmasters and bikes. Bicycles are for cycling outdoors and stairs are for, well, getting up stairs
Very stylish purse content, by the way
People like the dreadmill because they’re used to it. Changing their workout would mean . . . changing!
I love your rainbow of purse items. I’m especially enamored of that purple wallet. I wuv it. With a capital “W.”
Hi Wendy!
Thanks so much to YOU and for visiting my blog!!!
Did you know I visited your blog already a few weeks ago?
I stumbled over your blog while reading Thumbelina´s blog!
LOVE YOUR TASTE and will for sure be back 😉
HAVE A JOYFUL AND SUNNY DAY!!!
Martina
Awwww…..! Thank you for such kind words Miss Wendy, you are too nice!
We are particularly enamored of the purple wallet and the turquoise business card holder! K. Line’s Easter Basket analogy is pretty accurate, we love the look!

The purple and the Prada are giving me everything!
The football phone. What a piece of junk.
Cute lil' Prada wallet && thank you for your comment :]

Loving that pen and your bag contents are delish my sweet!
loving all the brights.

I adore colors. I have a pink Cartier pen in my bag too!
It’s a phone. Shaped like a football. Jeez! Settle down people!
yum to all that color!
Having a big black bag that I use most days I do feel like adding some colour would make it less necessary to pour out the entire contents of my bag to find something.
Ha! How fun! I’ve recently started doing the same thing, adding color to the purse system.
I particularly love the wallet! They’re all such bright springy colors.
What a wonderful rainbow of colors! Incidentally, I have challenged myself to back away from my favorite color, black, for one whole week. Today was the first day of my experiment. And the unintended side effect of this is that I really DO feel happier today. Coincidence?
the pen is super cute 🙂
Oooh, color, I love it! Especially the purple wallet.
Me want pretty pen! Mine are all leaky Bics.
Yay, Preppy Princess and a perfect Lily pen! I also don’t get the treadmill thing, work different muscle groups people!
Brights are a great idea, I can never find anything in my bottomless pit of a bag.

Whenever I visit NY I feel like I want to go work out at NYSC just to say I was there. And I won’t take up treadmill space. I prefer the elliptical.
I LOVE how colorful the inside of your purse is. Money isn’t fun, especially when you’re giving it away. That’s why it’s important to have a fun wallet to distract you.

Wendy, I tagged you to do a Purse Tag but this post kinda does do the trick, I guess. I also like colorful stuff in my bag because it really really helps me find things in the abyss.
Your various acoutrements are very springy, which means you are timely, as always.
Also I have come to appreciate floorwork and the rowing machine as lovely alternatives to getting my cardio on via the, ugh, dreadmill. Gotta mix it up sometimes.
I love those items! The purple and turqoise are amaaaazing..
