depends what airline you are flying with, check their website for their current rules.
What I always do if I am taking handluggage only and am only allowed one bag is put my handbag in my holdall before I go through security, and take it out again afterwards. easy(can be a bit of a squeeze to fit it in sometimes but its only till you get through security)

Ryanair are sticking to the one bag rule. As wishiwasarichgirl says if you can fit your handbag into your holdall you can always take it out when you get through security. I have done that loads and never had anyone say anything:j Debt free since 31/01/08:j

Each passenger may take only ONE item of hand baggage through security control. It must be no larger than:- 55cm(21.7 in) tall
- 40cm (15.7in) wide
- 20cm (7.9 in) deep
- 56cm (22in) tall
- 45cm (17.7in) wide
- 25cm (10in) deep
Other bags, such as handbags, may be carried within the single item of cabin baggage, but not separately.
All items carried will be X-ray screened.- Laptop computers and large electrical items must be placed in a separate tray.
- Smaller items (eg cameras or mobile phones) can remain in your bag for screening.
- Pushchairs and walking aids will be X-ray screened.
- Wheelchairs will be thoroughly searched.
