Well, we’ve officially reached the end of our editor rope. Since launching What’s in your bag? last summer, we’ve gone through the personal belongings of each and every (willing) FASHION editor. And since we love this feature so, rather than call it quits, we’ve decided to shift the focus to some of our favourite industry friends. In the coming months, we’ll be raiding the bags belonging to stylish designers, photographers, models, writers, and so on. Dying to go inside the bag of a certain fashionite? Tweet or Facebook us your suggestion!

But in the meantime, let’s get back to business. For the first in our “non FASHION eds” feature, who better to turn it over to than to our regular contributor, Sarah Nicole Prickett. As known for her quips (both long and short form) as she is for her mess of a blond bob, she’s surely one of our favourites. She also has excellent taste. And she asked.

The adorable dusting of freckles that adds an enviable bit of summer to her cheeks year round.

Last month, we had the chance to get into the soft leather Obakki shoulder bag belonging to our amazing Alberta editor (and one of the newest additions to the FASHION team), Caroline Gault, when she was in Toronto for our semi-annual conference along with Vancouver-based editor Joy Pecknold. Naturally, the first thing we asked her upon meeting her was to get a closer look at her personals. Want to take a peek while we’re at it?

Today, we’re diving into the bright red J.Crew Edie bag belonging to our newest team member, associate online editor Paige Dzenis.
