Bag/Purse Essentials

Citygirl1

In my daytime bag which is a medium sized shoulder bag I usually carry:

Purse
Mobile phone
Diary
Alarm
Pen
Ipod
Keys
Compact mirror
Lipstick
Bus pass
Small hairbrush

I put the Ipod and keys in a seperate compartment at the front where I can reach them easily and the Ipod doesn't get scratched, headphones tangled etc.

When I go out at night I have a small bag which goes across me and in that I have a small purse, hairbrush, lipstick, keys and bus pass.

I only use those two handbags, one for day, one for evening, both black. I don't change handbags with shoes and outfits unless I'm going to a wedding or something.

I also have a canvas type bag that I use in the day time in which I carry things that won't go into my handbag, like larger notepads and my packed lunch for work. Oh and I always have a brolley on me, it goes in the canvas bag but when I haven't got that on me it will fit in my handbag.

I have been into leather bags for the past two years but I got this recent one from the market, its patchwork leather, cost £7 and its brilliant, I also got the night time one at the market for £3, again patchwork leather.

Skirts and dresses seem to have pockets more recently though Bron!! So perhaps we should!

I have two bags - my work bag which is a small Antler holdall I bought from Avon and contains my packed lunch, uniform tunic, usually a book, a can of body spray and some baby wipes.

However my handbag is a different matter :rotfl: it is a massive thing from Primark that is universally known to all my friends as my WAG bag :rotfl: This is what it contained today:

My pink Star by Julien MacDonald purse
My Radley mobile phone case which has my keys attached to it (this also had my mobile phone in it for about 20 minutes as I have been constantly texting/on WAP today)
Digital camera and spare batteries
MP3 player
Diary and pen
Ambre Solaire factor 30 suncream
This month's copy of Company magazine
Sunglasses
Fraise Juicy Tube
Can of Dove Go Fresh deodorant
Can of Avon 60's Mod Body Spray
Pack of Johnson's Baby Wipes
Passport and other personal docs (wouldnt usually have them but needed them for an appointment I had today) also cheque book
And very bizarrely, my (full size and fairly sizeable :rotfl:) gold Avon make up bag :rotfl:

I dont usually carry that much stuff - I promise you :rotfl:
