Whats in my handbag

myhandbag


Bag £17.00 (other colours available) - eBay  
I've been wanting to do this post for a while but somehow never got round to doing it. So this is my handbag I bought it from eBay for £17.00 it has a floral pattern on the inside. I've been quite good recently with de-cluttering my handbag of receipts and random rubbish on a regular basis lately so this is what I usually keep inside my bag..

essentials

Daily essentials - A mini diary for dates, appointments etc. My Frankie journal is a bit too big and heavy to carry around in my bag everyday. Keys, with my beloved Totoro keyring off daniel. I bought this Cath Kidston cosmetic bag (which also comes with a handy little mirror inside) off Ebay (link) to try and keep my bag more organised instead of having everything jumbled around inside and never being able to find anything..

mini bag

Standard bag essentials for me! The owl you see peeking out is a pen my dad brought me back from singapore with a matching hand cream! If you have terrible dry lips then you will know that lip balm is a godsend. I have also been loving MAC creme cup recently, I can't get enough of it. For those wondering why I don't have a purse / wallet. I can't explain this to you it drives my mum and daniel mad. I buy them.. I just don't use them! I never carry money around with me only my cards! So I just use my little whistles card holder!

p.s my umbrella is cooler than yours. (another cute singapore present) If you have done a what's in my handbag post then please leave me a link in the comments as I love reading them and being nosey!

  1. Such a great post! I think you have all the right things in there. No clutter, no headache because you can't find something. I love these kind of post. Maybe I will do one in the future.
    And you're right, the umbrella is lovely.
    Hugs and kisses!
    Love, Andreea!

  2. As if you don't carry a purse, that's so random! haha I did a what's in my handbag post the other day, have a read http://hellotashaa.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/whats-in-my-handbag.html - I'm too nosey as well :) xx

  6. That umbrella is possibly the cutest thing I have ever seen! Great post, Think I am going to a whats in my bag post this week:)

  7. I really like the handbag, think I might have to buy that myself :) is it big enough and a nice size?

    I have the same little Cath Kidston bag to keep my handbag tidy too.

    Omg how do you manage not carrying a purse! I think I'd be lost without mine or having one in my bag, but it is a good idea just carrying around cards if they are all you use.

    Everything in your bag is super cute, especially the umbrella and totoro keyring.

    I love whats in my bag posts, maybe I'm just a nosey person :)

  18. Lovely photos. I am so eager to try the Nuxe Lip Balm as I feel that every other one I've tried has been a waste of money - they never seem to do anything for me. I've heard fantastic things about this one though.

  32. Love your handbag. Looks just like a Mulberry. eBay is a bit like TK Maxx in my opinion, you really have to search hard for the gems. I love how little you have in your handbag. Mine is so heavy I'm sure I don't need everything in there!

  82. I brought this bag after seeing this blog post the other day and was so disappointed! It doesn't look like yours at all, they must of changed the bags or something. It's very plastic looking and orange not tan/brown.
    Be warned fellow bloggers! :)
    I love your bag though and your blog

  83. Hello, this is a wonderful article about staying organized. I consider myself the biggest neat freak and i love to update myself on newer organization ideas. Great article, very informative.

    On my website i wrote a couple articles about travel organization and everyday handbag organization. It's about the tips and tricks to maintain a clean and easy to use purse!
