Unfortunately, they're a little out of my budget, though I think something like this could definitely be considered an investment piece. Anyway, once I'd got thinking about bags I decided to showcase my own. I don't switch bags all that often, carrying the same one around for probably at least a couple of months, only switching if I'm going out in the evening or something. So, this is the current holder of the random mix of essentials and not-so-essentials that I carry around with me every day.
The Bag
This bag was a present from my parents for my most recent birthday. It was the end of a life-long aversion to navy blue when I fell in love with this bag.
The Contents
And here is what's inside at the moment. I literally emptied my bag and this is what was in here today. The only editing I done was to dispose of the old sweet wrappers lurking at the bottom.
My phone (a Sony Ericsson W800i, I think. I've had it a few years now but I couldn't bear to replace it, I love it so!); my keys, completely lost in amongst the crazy amount of keyrings attached to it; a Topshop purse; yummy lemony flavour sweets my mum brought back from Belgium for me for Christmas; this month's pay slip, which is just one example of something that has been shoved in my bag and forgotten about until it re-emerged today; a compact mirror and a tiger bracelet that were both gifts from my cousin; a little wooden box with an elephant on it that my brother and my future sister-in-law brought back from a holiday in India for me, and which I always carry around with me; a No 7 SPF stick for lips; a hot pink string bag from M&S for groceries; a pair of Primark sunglasses that I don't really understand the inclusion of, seeing as how it hasn't been sunny in forever; my old 2nd Gen iPOD, an 18th birthday present, and my new yellow iPOD nano; an in-car iPOD charger; hair grips; and Palmer's Cocoa Butter hand cream (yummy!). I'm not sure it's entirely surprising I get back ache.
