What's In My Bag?

This actually isn't a Zara bag - I actually bought it in Primark the other day, and isn't it gorgeous?! It was only £8 which is amazing! It's really good quality and I absolutely love the size of it - it's not too big, but it's not too small either.

This is what I tend to carry around with me on a daily basis, well, when I'm not at school that is. As it's black it goes with most outfits, specifically as we head more into autumn/winter, which is brilliant.

First up, the more beauty related products... I'm obsessed with Soap and Glory's Hand Food so obviously, I carry around a mini in my bag. It's such a lovely smelling hand cream and it doesn't take long to soak in either. 

I have a little compact mirror from Bobbypin - quite a self-explanatory one, but definitely an essential.

Next up are two products from Bath and Body Works. A sweet pea hand sanitiser, and a  love, love, love fragrance mist. I bought the pair while in Florida last year, and they both smell incredible. They're also really quite cheap in comparison to similar products available - it's just such a shame we don't have any B&BW's in the UK.

I made the make up bag myself from a floral oilcloth material and an old zip. I'm planning on doing a separate what's in my makeup bag post - so look out for that!

I love my iPod. I use it all the time, so subsequently it goes everywhere with me! I upload stupid amounts of selfies on Instagram on it, stalk twitter, catch up with emails, read blog posts as well as listen to music and play games.

Another thing in my bag is my old bridge camera. I love having this with me as you never know when you might need want it. Like that spontaneous day out or the perfect background for an outfit post.

Probably the most important things in my bag - my purse and keys. I bought the little tan purse in Barcelona in February and it's still going strong! It was only a couple of Euros from a little boutique and I love it!

I have a variety of different key rings with the majority being gifts from friends holidays.

I have an Action Diary* which I use to write down post ideas and to work out what I'm doing when. It's also handy just to write down random notes or to do lists on each day of the week. Alongside the diary I have a pink pen - slightly irrelevant, but, is it just me that loves these pens?

Finally, I have a gift card for Dunelm Mill. If you read my recent homewear haul, you'll have read about my mission to spend all my voucher. But, alas it didn't happen. Well it did, just until I returned one of the items, so this is still in my bag from Sunday.

So, there we have it - the contents of my new bag!
