Hi lovelies! How has your day been? I thought it would be pretty fun to do a blog post on what’s in my bag as I love seeing what’s inside other people’s bags! I know…it’s pretty creepy BUT it’s actually a trend on YouTube, so I guess it’s not!
The bag:
This bag is from ASOS and I originally got it to go with my prom dress but in all honesty I just wanted a new bag. This bag was £16 which I thought was amazing! I was looking for a bag that looked similar to the Chanel “Classic Flap Bag In Quilted Lambskin” which retails for £3,075 in England. So I thought this Asos one was a bargain.
The features & design:
This bag is personally very well made and very sleek looking – I’ve actually had a lot of compliments on it! It has a quilted pattern on the front, back and on the flap of the bag but not on the sides or bottom of the bag – it is the same black “leather-looking” material but with no quilting. This bag has gold hardware.
As you can also see from the picture above there is a lock which you turn to open – I find this type of access into a bag really convenient as it’s very secure and it’s also quick to open.
The inside of the bag is surprisingly very spacious as you will see later on in this post with how big my purse is.
It has a fairly big zipper compartment on the back of the bag, however it does not have any pockets or any other storage places for your phone etc.
The chain as you can hopefully see is this weaved design looped through gold chains, which I really like – I think it ties in really beautifully with the pattern on the bag.
P.S. I believe this bag also comes in a blush/light pink shade as well.
So that’s enough rambling about the bag – now let’s get onto what’s inside it! I don’t really like to carry too much in my bag. All the links to available items will be at the end of this post.
Inside my Bag:
This is my purse which I got from River Island like 4-5 years ago, as you can probably tell by the state of it…I tried to photograph it nicely. (Tried.) I believe this was £18-£19, I’m pretty sure they don’t sell this purse anywhere, because if they did you’d be seeing a non-battered, beautiful photograph of a purse right now.
An obvious item in most people’s purse is their phone. Mine is an iPhone 4s. My background I believe is off of Tumblr.
The case on my phone is by Aimée Wilder. I bought it at TK Maxx.
I also sometimes carry around my prescribed glasses as I can’t see from a far distance. I usually take these with me when I go to the cinema or when I go to someone’s house to stay over because I’ll probably end up watching EastEnders.
This portable charger is a MUST for me, especially when I go out for a long period of time – it’s a life saver! However with this Anker product it comes with the case, the battery and the wire which is all tied up, yet it doesn’t come with the other wire. So if you have the iPhone 5/5s you don’t need the wire that isn’t included, however if you have the iPhone 4/4s you will need the non-included wire as the wire tied up won’t fit into your phone, all that the tied up wire is useful for is for charging the portable battery – so don’t throw it away if you buy this product!
These are a few random things in which I keep in my bag.
I have my Maybelline “Hydrate” lip balm which I love, it’s the most moisturising lip balm. Underneath are some long, brown hairslides from Amazon, I need the long ones because the short ones don’t hold well in my hair. Above those is my portable perfume bottle which is really useful! It is currently holding my Taylor Swift perfume. I also have a nail file because I hate it when I get a chipped nail or when my nails look uneven. I also carry some plasters because I live in my converse and sometimes they really torture my heels and so I need plasters to stop the pain. Underneath the plasters I have a hairband because in all honesty I hate having my hair down, especially all day long. And next to that I have another lip balm – I don’t know why I need two when the Maybelline one works really well, but I’m a girl, we need two of everything.
I hope you all enjoyed this blog post. I hope you all have a great week and I’ll be posting another blog post very soon!
