001 Whats In My Bag?

A girls handbag is her sanctuary, the one place where all of our little knicknacks and daily deeds are hidden from the world, the contents of our bags can tell you a lot about our characters. I've decided to clear out my crumpled reciepts and stow away the odd bits of spare change and show you whats actually in my bag...

Handbag - My bag is by Marc B, I picked it up in the Oxford Street branch of Topshop last year and it soon became a staple in my wardrobe, I use it pretty much every day, I love the structured shape, masses of space and versatility. Marc B has become one of my favourite brands over the last year. 

Notebook - I always carry a notebook with me, everywhere I go, I tend to write everything down and make lots of notes and jot ideas before I forget them, I'm massively creative and feel inspired by everything from places I visit, food I've tried and the world around me, my notebook is full of weird and wonderful ideas that I try and put into practice as much as possible.

Diary - I like to think I'm quite organised and tend to keep my diary on me most of the time, I always like to know where I need to be and when so I can plan ahead! 

Book - I'm reading Breakfast At Tiffanys by Truman Capote at the moment, I think it should be a staple on every girls bookshelf! Quite possibly the most romantic book ever written, I love to read when I have time and keep my book on me for any quiet moments that pop up during the day. 

Body Spray - I've got some Charlie 'Touch' in my bag at the moment, it was actually a gift, I'm definitely more of a perfume girl but body spray is a given if you need a quick refreshing spritz! I'm a total sucker for anything that smells gorgeous and girly, for someone who isn't a fan of body sprays, this is definitely one of my favourite scents. 

Perfume - I love perfume, I love to smell good, the perfume I'm using at the moment is Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel, its my all time favourite, completely classy and feminine. 

Lip Balms/Gloss - I have two lip balms chucked in the bottom of my bag at the moment, I tend to get bored of flavours and replace them pretty quickly, one of them is a passionfruit one from the Body Shop, it tastes absolutely delicious and has a really pretty sheen to it, perfect for this time of year! The gloss is the one I use the most, its the DuWop Venom Gloss, you can buy it from FeelUnique, its currently on sale, a total steal at £12.80!

Hairspray - I carry Lee Stafford Climate Control around with me all the time, my hair is prone to frizziness at the tiniest drop of rain and it keeps all my flyaways under control and completely weatherproofed.

Keys - I only have one keyring on my keys, a little floral 'H' that I picked up from Accessorize, I have my house keys on there and the key to my Mini, I'm so grateful to be able to drive, I wouldn't be able to cope without my car!

Hand Cream - My skin gets massively dry during the winter, especially on my hands, I love hand creams from the Body Shop, I have the Wild Rose one at the moment but I find the Almond smells a little nicer and is a little more moisturising. 

Purse - I bought my purse a couple of weeks ago in the Cath Kidston sale, I was pining after a new one after my Topshop one completely fell apart, I love Cath Kidston products and the purse is definitely no exception, the print is beautiful and theres just enough room for all my cards and coins (although its empty at the moment! - oh dear!).

Umbrella - I have a really bad habit of getting caught up in the rain, I can't bear getting drenched! I've only recently begun to carry my brolly around with me just in case! The weather in England can be so unpredictable at times, its a given!
