What's In My Bag?

The most requested blog post this week has been the 'Whats in my bag' post. The bag I have been using the most this summer is this black and white one from Primark (Adjustable long strap so can use as a shoulder bag). Due to the size of this bag, I can only really fit the bare essentials in it. I tend to use this bag for everyday use and have a bigger bag when I need to fit more stuff in. 

1) My phone
I'm pretty sure most people nowadays own a phone of some sort, I use mine to connect via social media, messaging and to make calls. The weather and gaming apps are also very useful ;) haha. The case I'm using at the moment is from Marc Jacobs. 

2) My purse
I've had this purse for about 2years now, and I absolutely love it. It's from river Island ( I think they still sell similar ones). Although it is quite bulky, and can be quite heavy, I find it to be the perfect size as I can fit everything I need.

3) A black pen
Although this is a very boring item, I think its a very useful item to carry around. You never know when you're going to need one right?

4) Gum
This is definitely a must have, and your answer to having fresh breath all the time! Nothings worse than talking to someone with smelly breath haha. The extra original peppermint gum is by far my favourite. 

5) Pocket mirror
This mirror is from a cute little shop in my town which was called 'Octopus' but has recently changed to Pylones. Mirrors on the go are great for checking food in your teeth, makeup and hair (sounds quite vain really doesn't it? haha). 

6) Nail file
As you might have seen from my summer nails post , I have quite long nails so to avoid any chipped or broken nails I carry around this nail file from Next with me.

7) Mini Mascara
I bought this very small mini mascara from MAC, which is perfect for carrying around just incase I need a touch up throughout the day. 

8) Academic Planner
This is my calendar for the next year. I write all my reminders/notes in here and it helps remind me what I have planned for the day! Would definitely recommend one of these if you struggle with organisation!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing what's in my bag, I'd love to see what's in your bag, so if you have a post/are going to do a post on this, comment below and I'll be sure to check it out!
