    Astrid's What's In My Bag #1


    This is an old knapsack I found at a thrift shop in the Philippines. It cost around $4-$5 but it lasted two years of abuse. When I mean abuse, it means my little sister using it as a schoolbag filled with all her hardbound books and binder. It's such a steal for a classic look, and I got this even way before the knapsack and satchel trend! So what's in my bag?

    From left to right, top-bottom:

    1) Coin purse.
    2) hand sanitizers care of my good friend Arvin (he loves hoarding this stuff).
    3) journal I bought from a lady along Broadway (Vancouver). She has a lot of selections!
    4) sharpies for doodling.
    5) coloured pencils for doodling 02.
    6) stickies for reminders (got them at Chapters for $2)
    7) mints
    8) "kikay kit" - a purse where one puts all the girly/make-up stuff
    9) Looking for Alaska by John Green (borrowed from Arvin)

    I think you will soon realize that I will often mention how fun it is to thrift for bags! There are so many out there waiting to be discovered, and I'm usually the one going in for the kill. What's really great about thrifting for bags is that they are almost, always unique!
