What's in my bag?

I always have been the nosey type and like to see what other people carry about with them so thought I'd make my own post, so here is well, what I have with me in my bag today!

I was just away out shopping with a couple of my friends, catching up and getting the finishing touches for my Christmas presents. Well that was the plan, stuck for what to get my Dad (any suggestions?!). Since I wasn't going to be out for very long I'm just carrying the essentials really.


The bag I am using is this super cute red satchel, for a small bag it's quite spacious and has a zip pocket inside and a small pouch on the back. Unfortunately this bag was a gift and i'm not sure exactly where it was bought from but i'm sure you could find something similar floating around ebay.

After emptying the contents of my bag, this is what I came across:





 My Purse is just an average, completely ancient purse from Jane Norman that i've had for years but I just can't seem to change it. Had dozens of new ones but for some reason always seem to go back to this one. It's simple with a very subtle leopard print detail and is big enough to hold all the useless loyalty cards I seem to stock up on!






This little piece is actually new and I am so happy with it, it's a pass case. So most likely used for a bus pass but I have put my railcard and my train tickets that I have bought for future into here. I don't think i'll be carrying this about with me very often but today I went to collect my tickets so took this along just to keep them safe.








I like to carry around a diary and a pen just incase I write something down or have made plans that I need to remember, I have actually misplaced my actual diary so right now I am just using this lovely notebook from WHSmith. A lot of people will like to use their mobile phone for these things but I have the habit of writing it in a note on my phone and then completely forgetting about it! Whereas this I always remember to check. So strange!









My keys! Can't forget them, otherwise I'd be locked out! I'm rather boring with my keyring/s I used to have lots but when it came to using a smaller bag for nights out it became such a hassle as I had to remove them all so my keys would actually fit in the bag and not take up too much room. I just have this wrist strap keyring from glitzy-glam as it's so easy to keep a hold of your keys if you have a couple things to carry. (Mines is looking a tad worse for wear so may need to invest in another one from somewhere- the shipping was insane just for a keyring!)








Make up for the day! I always grab a couple things from my make up collection before leaving the house, these tend to include my liquid eyeliner, mascara, lip of the day(today I just had on 'honey' lipgloss by Barry M) and sometimes concealer depending on my skin that day. Then just a few hair grips if I fancy pinning my hair back.



Although this bag is quite spacious for a small bag, at the end of the day it still is a small bag and won't fit everything so I couldn't fit my everyday perfume which is Marc Jacobs daisy in with the rest of the stuff so today I opted for this tester of J'adore by Dior simply because it would fit in my bag!








And that concludes what I had in my bag, not the most interesting of things today. For my next post I might do 'Handbag Essentials' for daytime and nighttime - let me know what you think.
