Whats In My Bag ?


If you’re anything like me, you’re probably curious as to what people carry with them on a day-to-day basis. (okay.. this kinda sounds creepy..)
I thought I’d give you a glimpse of what’s in my bag and maybe there’s something you might want to add to yours!

The purse- The purse I’ve been carrying a lot lately is this straw sling bag from Forever 21.I’ve had this bag for a while now and it was very reasonably priced. It also fits a TON and goes with everything. I would love to have it in another shape too!

Aside from 30 lip glosses (not really) I keep a few essentials in there.

Travel size Adorn EDP Fragrance in Jasmine + Ylang Ylang + Violet (my fav) This was a Christmas present from my parents which they bought from Urban Outfitters One bottle lasts forever, even for someone as spritz happy as me!

                         
























Confession time, I have this thing about having dirty hands SO I always have sanitiser or wet wipes with me. This one is from Bath & Body Works; Twisted Peppermint!
                                   
The Lip Products- Confession: yes, I cleaned up the contents of my bag before taking these photos, so as to rid the scene of discarded till receipts and ten different lipsticks and lip balms. 
I don’t have a “go to” lip product and i swear i loose one every week..and every time I empty out my bag I find a handful of lip products that  I’ve forgotten I owned.
I’ve been loving this Blossom Lip Gloss in Passionfruit from urban outfitters : they’re easy to apply roll on and come in a lovely range of flavours/scents,

Diary – This very vintage looking wonder is from again… urban outfitters  and I’m definitely not using it how it should because honestly i have commitment issues with such things that need to be filled in timely and stuff. so now i just fill the pages up with things that seem important and doodle in it.
and sometimes i have another notebook because nobody can ever have enough places to write down plans for world domination!

Pens/pencils – There’s always some weird assortment of writing equipment in my bag, and apparently right now I have an Paperchase  pen with a very pretty planets and galaxy print and i also found a worn out IKEA pencil but i tossed that out before taking the picture…

Sunnies- Usually I’d have more accessories in my bag .. but definitely one accessory I can’t live without are sunnies! These Retro sunglasses are from Forever21 and they're just adorable!
Especially having sensitive eyes and to hide my dark circles .. I always like to bring a pair of sunnies just in case! 

Sweets-I have the ultimate sweet tooth ! Honestly this picture is not really doing it justice with just how much sweets I have in my bag. Its borderline ridiculous and I’m pretty sure I’m due to get dentures any time now! I love any kind of SWEETS. 


My iPhone8 Plus- used for everything; Spotify music, to take quick pictures for when i don't have my camera handy ( my phones camera is genuinely MAGICAL) .. It’s more than a must have- it’s my life!

Bag charm – This adorable cactus keychain is from HM and I bought it a few months back – they’re still in some stores and they have some other versions available too.The little hook is pretty convenient, i can hook on my tiny umbrella along with it… the capricious British weather has caught me out a few times!

I’m addicted to Arizona Tea ! Sue Me! okay so i always carry a small bottle of water with me but lately I've been obsessed with Arizona tea and look at that bottle of tea, isn’t it a beauty? 

                       








Side Note- I took these photos of my bag contents after I emptied and cleaned my bag so what you see here is the contrsucted, pretty version. This is of course the picture I’ll push across social media to convince you all that my life is all one perfectly presented, glossy affair – when actually it’s not, and actually YES my handbag is full of just as many receipts as yours. And crumbs. And random hairs. And tangled headphones. My life is only glamorous 5 per cent of the time, promise!!
I also can’t find my headphones – WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?
