What's In My Bag | Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag

Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag Review

Today I will be sharing what's in my Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag and how I pack the essentials. I remember the very first bag that my dad bought me when I was 12 years old, it was a mini backpack, and even back then I knew I love mini bags. Many years later, not much has changed whenever I spot a new bag I always go for the size-mini and the crossbody option is an added bonus. I do have a few large totes, which I mostly reach for when I travel but on a daily basis, I prefer the minis. I love having my hands free specially after I had my daughter. I purchased the Gucci Dionysus bag about 1.5 years ago and I haven't stopped using it ever since!

Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Mini Bag is a structured bag, it has a Beige/ebony GG supreme canvas with taupe suede trim and a textured tiger head spur closure. There is a pocket under the flap it's not that spacious but I can keep some cards or cash. The antique silver-toned chain strap can be worn in multiple ways, it can be worn on the shoulder with 15.5'' drop or it can be worn as a top handle with 9'' drop. It's 7.5'' in width x 6'' in height and 2'' depth. This bag has hand stitched details and hand-painted edges.

At first, I wasn't sure about the monogram canvas but once I've seen the bag in person I quickly fell in love with it. The canvas is only on the exterior and the interior is fully lined with the suede fabric which you can see peeking through the flap and on each side of the bag. I love the suede trimming and the neutral earthy tones make this bag very easy to style. The snap closure is another thing I like about this bag it's nicely secured and it's very easy to open and close. The chain straps can be a little heavy but since the bag is very small and you can only pack a few things it never gets uncomfortable. The grainy texture of the canvas makes this bag very durable. It's scratch resistant and you don't have to worry about color transfer, I've worn this bag during rainy, snowy days and it still looks brand new!

I'm 5' 3 and when I use it as a crossbody it stops right below my stomach which is the perfect length for me. Although it's a trendy bag and it might go out of style in the future but I can still see myself continue to use and love this bag. Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme comes in a few other colors and sizes.

Keep scrolling for close up shots of the bag, how I styled the bag and what fits inside the bag.

As you can see, it's very compact so I just have to be strategic about how I pack the bag so that way I can close it without any issue. The only thing is when the bag is open and if you place it down the weight from the snap closure can lean forward and tip the bag over.

I never carried a full sized wallet I just never felt the need to lug around a huge wallet. I prefer card cases I'm currently using the Chanel card case which is one of my favorite card cases. This card case has been in my collection for years now it's still in the pristine condition, it has 4 pockets if you count the front slot. I like to pack the makeup items in a Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette. My iPhone 7 fits easily in the bag but not when I have the card case and the mini pochette in the bag. I usually keep my phone in my hand or coat pocket so it's never been an issue.

I always carry Lancome Dual Finish Powder compact and blotting sheets so I can touch up throughout the day, which is a must for me since I have very oily t-zone. I'm currently carrying the Fenty Beauty Blotting Paper and it's the cutest little thing ever! I've been loving these two new lip balms I've already reviewed the Kjaer Weis Lip Balm (here). Few other lippies in my bag are NYX Cosmetics Natural lip liner and Tom Ford First Time Lipstick- it's a peachy pink shade with a satin finish. Also in the bag, I have mini YSL Lip Tint Oil no. 5 and Cle De Peau Beaute Radiant Liquid Rouge in the shade 11. I always like to have a hand cream available cause I constantly wash my hands, the one I'm using now is a mini L'occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream. I've recently discovered a new brand Phlur and I'm loving this scent called Hanami it has notes of white florals, fig, hazelnut, and sandalwood.

That's a wrap for my very first What's In My Bag, I always get questions on how I pack my mini bags so I hope you enjoyed a peek into my Dionysus Mini.

What's in your bag? & Which do you prefer- a mini or a large handbag?

Imats NYC 2016

Hey guys I attended Imats NY and I was so excited about this years Imats. I got to meet someone I really admire, I follow her tips and tricks on a daily basis. This year Lisa Eldridge did a live Q&A, I made sure I got there on time to catch her segment. She also did a book signing, which I almost missed but I made it just in time. If you haven't checked out her book yet please do, the cover alone caught my attention its a really good read.

As usual I was well prepared made my list ahead and I got everything off my list, except for one palette which was sold out. I didn't have Temptu on my list, however I was always curious about this little device. It was an impulsive purchase but I don't regret purchasing this at all, I love the idea of not having to use a brush. Which means less brushes to clean! I will test out this innovative little device before I come to a conclusion. Another brand I was excited about is Hakuhodo brushes, I love their brushes! I love the quality of these brushes its very soft and feels luxurious. I regret not purchasing more of their face brushes, next time I will definitely purchase a few more. Let's go ahead and look at the goodies but I must warn you this post is very pic heavy.
