I am one of those people who
always needs to carry around a large sackful of things to keep me going
throughout the day. I am not one for travelling light, whether this is a
night out, a shopping trip or even a holiday. I am always the person who carries
something for every possible inevitability.
So as you can imagine my
every day bags always need to be a little be on the larger side so I can fit in
as many things as I think I might need throughout the day....Mary Poppins style!
Aside from the obvious 10,000
hair clips, bobbles, chewing gum and receipts hanging around the bottom of my
bag, I do have some essentials that I just couldn't leave the house without...
Firstly, let start with my purse this is a Chanel purse in caviar leather.
This is something that I just
cannot be without, if you forget your purse then your whole day is ruined. This
is the perfect size for me, there are compartments for cards, coins, receipts and loyalty cards (I somehow have managed to accumulate thousands of them!) and more...everything
you could ever need!
I have had this purse for
about 3 years now and it still looks as good as new, if you were looking to
splash your cash on a new purse then this is one I would definitely recommend.
My IPhone...
Now this is something I could
not live without, let alone leave the
house without. I have the IPhone 6 in gold and white and this is my favorite design of the phone yet, especially as the back is more of a rose gold then true yellowy
gold.
I have been an avid lover of
IPhones since the very first one came out...I can’t ever imagine using another
brand of phone!
My car keys and a pen....these two essentials can go without explanation, they are
simply a necessity....!
This
detangling heavy weight is one hair brush that NO handbag should ever be
without and I am well and truly obsessed. I think I must have around 5 or 6
‘Tangle Teezers’ at home, almost one for every room in the house. This newer
compact version of the original is slightly smaller and has a protector to
ensure the bristles don’t get bent or damaged in your handbag....and the gold
casing is just fabulous!
Now onto
beauty products, these are the few very select products which make it into my handbag every single day.
I always
need a blusher and powder on hand to top up throughout the day, my current favourites
are the 'Laura Mercier Mineral Powder' and the 'Chanel Jous Contraste blush' in ‘Pink
Explosion’, this really helps to perk up my drab winter complexion. I use my
Real Techniques blusher brush to apply both, I don’t have time to be switching
between brushes!
Next up is
lips...I always carry an EOS lip balm around with me, initially I did fall in
love with their unusual packaging and shape but the product is just as good as the design and it
keeps my lips hydrated throughout the day.
My Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in ‘Pillow Talk’ has a huge place in my heart at the moment.
I’m in LOVE. It’s the perfect cheat to bigger lips and helps to keep any lip
product on for longer.
Lip gloss
wise, these are my two current favourites. The Chantecaille 'Brilliant Gloss' in
the shade ‘lucky’ is the perfect everyday peachy pink shade with a gold shimmer
running through it, it keeps your lips looking full and juicy all day!
My natural lips favourite is
the Clarins ‘Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector’, it does exactly what it says on the
tin and gives you that 'your lips but better' appearance.
I used to be
that girl who ALWAYS carried around a large heavy perfume bottle in their
bag...that was until I discovered a ‘Travalo’.
This little device is ingenious, this dinky fragrance atomizer has been created so that you can now
take your favourite perfume around with you wherever you go.
You simply pump your current fave perfume into this and voila you have a miniature
version of it to pop into your handbag. In mine I currently have ‘Jo Malone –Woodsage and Seasalt’ this is my current favourite scent!
Now the last
thing to talk about is my bag, this is the Stella McCartney ‘Falabella’ bag.
This is a very recent purchase for me, so I have only used this a couple of
times but so far so good, I am loving it!
I love the
way you can wear it in so many different ways, transforming it into a different
bag each time. The slouchy-ness of the bag makes it so easy to carry around all
day and ensures it never gets too heavy...when packed with LOTS of essentials!
