What's in my bag?

Hello and welcome to my first post!

I thought it'd be nice to introduce myself by starting with a "What's in my bag" post. I don't know about you, but I love reading these types of post so I can have a good ol' nose and see if there's anything I should be including in my day - to -day bag!
It's also a good way to see what type of person someone is... super organised? me? Yep! So I always like to ensure I have these essentials on me.  Let's begin...

So here is the bag in question. It's from Accessorize and is very large and roomy. I had a look on the website and I can't seem to find the link anymore, however Accessorize always have some lush bags so I'd definitely recommend having a look. My bag has three sections, a front pocket that opens with a clasp, a front zip pocket, and the large centre section. In the main section there is one zip pocket and two smaller open pockets. It's not real leather but is really good quality, I've had it quite a while now and there are no marks on it! There's a long shoulder strap and two small straps, I like to mix it up a bit and use both depending on how I feel.

Now onto the content... 

The purse: This was a lovely gift from my boyfriend for my birthday last month. It is from Cath Kidston and is a zip purse with your typical section for cards, cash, coins etc. I like to stuff as many loyalty cards (boots, nandos etc..) as I can in there along with an abundance of old receipts. 

The phone: I have a lovely iPhone 5 which I would be lost without and its cover is a Cath Kidston case which I found on Amazon which is nudey/minty cream with a pretty floral pattern (can you tell I like Cath Kidston yet). I keep my headphones in my bag as I'm often walking around and it's useful to have them with me so to cure some boredom.

The Diary: This is just a boring black diary from Tesco. I left it last minute to get a diary and I couldn't find an affordable yet pretty one. Oh well, this thing is my life line and I'm lost without it. As I said earlier, I'm super organised and I lead quite a busy life so I always remember to write down my plans! Also I keep a simple biro with it as you never know when you need a pen.

The sunglasses: The sun has finally decided to show itself in the UK so my sunglasses can finally get some use. These ones are from Topshop last year and I think they're great.

The beauty items: I have a compact mirror that I received as a stocking filler a few Christmas' ago.. it's handy for a quick check to ensure I'm presentable. 

My hairbrush is a Denman, and it's the only hairbrush (apart from a tangle teaser) that I will use as it's so soft my knotty locks don't mind it. 

I received this escentuals nail file free in my recent bioderma order so I keep it with me incase of any emergency nail breakages (urgent I know). 

I get very dry hands so the Garnier Intensive 7 days sos-repair hand cream is a life saver to me, it's quite a large tube which is its only downside. 

Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer in "Big Bang" incase I need to add a red lip to my daily make up, this one is amazing and definitely lives up to the massive hype that was around it when they first came out. 

Lush Lip Service lip balm is great as my lips have been very dry in this cold weather.

The rest: You never know when you need some tissues... and keys are an obvious essential!

I hope you enjoyed this post, I previously thought I didn't carry very much in my bag but after writing this it seems an awful lot. Just to add, on a usual day I would probably also carry an A4 notebook to my lecture or my Macbook, but this is what I would usually carry on a weekend.

I have linked things that I have mentioned below in case you were interested in finding them!

Thanks for reading!
