What’s In My Bag? More Like What’s In My Belt

We’re feeling nostalgic. For what you ask?

We’ll give you three hints: flower crowns, toasted filters, and your best boho ‘fits. If you guessed 2015 festival season, let us get you a prize.

We cannot believe it’s been ten years. It felt like just yesterday we were out on the desert with you, flaunting our favorite denim shorts, fringed-out vests, and floppy hats. Sigh, if only we could go back…

With the spirit of festival season upon us, and the resurgence of tried-and-true boho in full swing, we knew we had to pay tribute to this era somehow. Enter: our take on the “What’s In My Bag” flat lay, a staple piece of media from this period. Seen all over Tumblr, Flickr, and early Instagram, these pictures featured someone’s purse or handbag with the contents laid out in front, organized in perfect array. It gave you a snapshot into someone’s personality through their choice of daily essentials. A definite, no-brainer reblog or like, in our opinion.


For (Free People’s Version), we decided to feature this festival season’s hottest carrying option: the pocket belt. Sleeker than a sling bag, and so much more than your average accessory, this style is literally made for those hands-free moments, like, say, running around the festival grounds with your besties and listening to your favorite artists. And not only will it carry all your essentials, it’ll make your outfit look even cuter. Want some proof? Here ya go:
