#BEDM Day 22: What's in my bag?

Bag & scarf: Bon Marche

What a difference a year makes! The contents of my handbag have certainly changed since my last post. I've gone from a 2 and a half hour commute each way to a 10 minute one. So I don't need to carry so much entertainment around with me at all times. All I need is my purse, phone (not pictured), keys, makeup & perfume and my trusted A Beautiful Mess planner. 

Recently I've just kept my sunglasses in my handbag as these days you never know when the sun is going to make an appearance. No one likes to be squinting the whole car ride home. Since I get home when it's light too, I just leave my glasses at work as that's the only place I need to wear them currently.

I love this planner! It mainly houses the many post its I make quick notes on when I get an idea. Though recently I've graduated to A4 sheets of lined paper that I fill to the brim on my lunch break. Everything gets stuck inside my planner until I can sort through them at home. 

The inspiring quotes at the beginning of every month are a lovely touch!

What's in my bag

I always enjoy reading these kind of posts on other blogs (lets just face it, I'm nosy!) so I thought I would do one of my own. I'm known for carrying the world in my handbag. This lot is usually accompanied by whatever book I'm reading at the time. Right now I'm in between bulk Amazon purchases. 

The bag itself is my beloved Mulberry Alexa, my purchase from about 3 years ago now from the mighty ebay. It's pre-owned but I got to get the largest size for just half the retail price. Score!

Clockwise from top left: *Charger - obvious reasons! *House keys and car keys *Phone *Snack *Essential makeup - mascara (also usually eyeliner), chapstick & coverup *Ipod - yes I could just use my phone but I don't like to use up the battery too much *Berocca - everyone in my office seems to live on this stuff. I have it purely because Topher bought it for himself and decided he didn't like it. *Glasses with case & glasses wipes - I need them for the desktop computer.

*Ipad and iPad pen for when I feel like drawing

*Disaster Designs Purse *Organiser & Parrot notebook - Paperchase. I always have to have some kind of notebook with me. Even though I have evernote on my phone sometimes it just feels more satisfying writing an idea down on paper. Just me?

As I've just had a clear out you won't be able to see the vast amount of receipts, hair bobbles and kirby grips that usually line the inside of the bag, sorry about that! I'm sure you're very disappointed :P
