Oh hey guys!
So it's been a while since I have done a What's in my handbag post and since I picked up this bargain bag from Topshop on Thursday I thought I would put this together in case you wanted to run out and see if there were still some available.
Also heads up and sorry for this generic bloggers post I just love doing these and looking at other peoples bags too!
So originally £42 this gorgeous black and tan bag became a steal at £15 at although it appears to be small it actually holds a lot of my crap in it, which makes it super handy for myself (I mean we all have some kind of crap in handbags right? I'm not the only one?) There is as standard a tiny pocket that to be fair could not carry anything but earphones or even a key but nothing else. As always a super handy front pocket where I tend to slot my phone and my oyster card.
This is a picture of the realistic side of my blogging, PJ's and stacks of criminology books scattered around my room! It just shows its not all sleek photos and beautiful lighting!
So lets kick off!
Purse: In bags such as this I tend to cut down from my much larger purse (that you would have seen in my previous handbag post) to a slim pocket sized purse that I got from New Look. Super handy with the 2 card slots and it fits in all bags including clutches.
Passport: Next up is probably the most embarrassing thing I have to carry, that being... my passport. Yes I know I should get a provisional as a form of ID but I am not learning to drive for at least another year so I don't really see the point.
Deodorant and change: Next up Nivea Pearl Beauty mini deodorant for those moments you want to freshen up, a random murray mint and some loose change that tends to float around the bottom of my bag.
Pink Pom Pom Keys: I used to be the kind of lady that carried 2 keys and 100 keyrings that got attached now I've gone for a streamlined one key one keyring. So what is better than having a giant pink pom pom keyring in your bag? This one was around £8 from Topshop and the size definitely makes it easy to get keys out of your bag no matter how big it is.
Portable Phone Charger: I bought this nifty product around 2 years ago from Currys (although you can buy them from anywhere nowadays) and it has been a heaven sent ever since. If anyone has an iPhone or a social media addiction like I do, you would know that the battery life is useless and so having this in my handbag ensures I don't have to worry when that annoying 20% notification pops up!
Earphones: I wished that I still had my Apple Earphones but one of the earpieces broke and now I just have these random Sony ones, they still do the trick except now I feel everyone can here my music on the train. Definitely need to repurchase Apple ones.
Inhaler: I suffer from asthma and although I am first to admit I never use it, it definitely always come in handy in case I happen to have an attack whilst I am out and about.
Tissues and Hairbands: Also handy to have not only for myself but for other people, there can always be a spillage or runny nose so always have these on hand.
iPod: This iPod is literally ancient, I believe I got it when I was 15/16 so that makes it minimum 5 years old but I still love it and use it. To be fair most of my music is on my phone but if I run out of battery on my phone and I've forgotten my portable charger this comes in handy to keep me company on journeys back home.
Lip Balm: This Nivea lip balm with a rose tint does what it says and keeps lips hydrated with a hint of a muted pink. Lip balm always needed.
Oyster/ Travel Card: This holder is from Topshop and stores my beloved and bashed oyster card along with my 18-25 travel card that comes in super handy at discounts on trains to university. I believe this card holder was around £5-8 (similar one here).
So there you have it, all of the things I shove in my beloved bag. I do usually keep my phone there and my iPhone cable for my portable charger, lipstick as well depending on what I am wearing but apart from that this is everything. I hope you guys enjoyed and it wasn't too boring for you all.
What do you lovelies keep in your bags?
