What's in my Bag

I haven't done a What's in my Bag post for about a year now, so I thought it was about time to do an update on all the bits and pieces I carry around with me on a daily basis.  I take a lot more than this to work at the moment, because I'm on placement I'm also bringing folders, notebooks and resources for my lessons, but this is what I carry about normally.

My bag is a maroon cross-body beauty from Topshop.  I only wanted something small because I end up carrying around tonnes of useless rubbish with me if I have a big bag, so this is a perfect size for the essentials.  It has a little place to put my phone, the usual girlie zip pocket at the back and a little pocket at the front where I usually keep my keys so they're easy to find.

As expected, I carry around the essentials.  A diary is essential for me to keep track of everything at the moment, I should probably start just using the calender on my iPad for this, but I'm still using paper at the moment.  My 2014 diary is a Tesco buy, I always buy my diaries there because they're such a bargain!  I also carry my iPad Mini around with me, I wont mention too much because I recently posted about it, but I love it.  My River Island purse is over a year old now but it's as good as new and I still really like it.  My old iPod Nano is usually left in the car to play music through my aux cable, but I'm keeping it in my handbag at the moment to remind me that it desperately needs an update!  Lastly, my iPhone4 is always with me, in it's dinosaur Topshop case to keep updated on with world of social media, and keep in contact with everyone.

I carry a few extra bits around with me; an umbrella is necessary in Wales, because all it ever does is rain! I don't tend to lug around too many beauty products, I have some blotting tissues and powder to aviod shine, my La Roche Posay lip balm and a Revlon Lip Butter for little touch ups.  I also have a comb and a mini perfect sample just in case. Everyone needs a pen and some chewing gum floating around their handbag, and lastly, fruit polos - you never know when you need a bit of sugar!

  2. I love your bag, I really need a new bag and I completely forgot I did until I just started packing my stuff for school and the tiny little hole it has just ripped and now I have no idea what to do! But this post has reminded me to restock on gum and find a new bag :) I love your phone case by the way!x
