Who needs labels? “There’s no tag on my bag,” says Maggie Grace, who stars in the latest Nicholas Sparks romance flick, The Choice. “It’s a legit hippie bag. Honestly, it’s about being light!” The 32-year-old actress, who splits her time between L.A. and NYC, empties out her leather brown bag for Us Weekly.
On the Sly
“I have a combo phone case and wallet from BookBook. It looks like a little novel. People think you’re reading Keats’ poetry when you’re texting.”
Toned Down
“I’ve stopped wearing lipstick unless it’s a special occasion, so I bring rose Burt’s Bees balm to work. It doesn’t look too ‘done’; it’s basically your natural lip tone, but better.”
It’s All Ripe
“Right now I have an avocado in my bag. It’s not exactly a clean and easy to-go item. But I knew I’d be rushing around, and I didn’t have any fruit.”
Stick With It
“[Taken costar] Liam Neeson got me hooked on tea tree toothpicks. They’re refreshing without being aggressive.”
Slumber Party
“I have a snooze kit. There are these French natural wax earplugs by Quies that I stock up on when I’m in Europe; a Mimi Holliday silk kitten eye mask, which is supercute; and DaVinci melatonin. I can sleep anywhere!”
Also in Grace’s bag? A travel-sized OSEA atmosphere protection cream, an Enfleurage rollerball, Dom Vetro sunglasses, Happy Plugs earbuds, a small Moleskin notebook, a nail file, hair elastics, tissues, pens, a passport, a tiny tin of Always Native organic balm, a MetroCard, a paperback copy of Mary Oliver’s Blue Horses, a Samsung Galaxy, an iPad decorated with homemade stickers, gel highlighters, a mini Mason Pearson brush, flip flops, a Bella Ballou wool scarf, a Parabellum leather arrow keychain, raw almonds and a bottle of Liposomal Vitamin C.
