What's In My Bag

Being a nosy person, I love the features in magazines showing what's in people's handbags to show their daily life essentials. So I have decided to do my own version.

This is the handbag I use on a daily basis. It is Marc Jacobs which I got second hand from shop 'Sign of the Times' in Chelsea a few years ago. Inside I carry my See by Chloe purse which I got in the January Sale at Harvey Nichols. I also have my Filofax which I got from my parents this Christmas. I love the lilic bird pattern and use my diary to check times of lectures and plan my weekends. I also have my pink Blackberry which I have only had for a month but already don't know how I survived without it.

I always carry my little blue i-pod shuffle. I love how cute and tiny it is, so it's easy to have in my pocket and takes up hardly any room. I also have my Jaeger headphones with little crystals on them. In this February weather I always make sure I have fingerless gloves in my bag I have many pairs but at the moments I am wearing these sweet stripy ones. I have a few make-up essentials such as this Clarins moisture replenishing lip balm. It's the best lip balm I have ever come across and I stock up on them at airports to get it tax free. My main essential is my Marc Jacobs 'Lola' roll on perfume. I got a set of 4 of these roll on perfumes in the Summer at Debenhams and I adore them and carry one with me at all times.

Sales Shopping In Knightsbridge

I wanted to only purchase one or two nice items in the sales, and not in a frantic haze end up with silly numerous items of garments that I don't need and aren't even that nice. So I headed to Harvey Nichols, Harrods and The Kings Road. Even though I had under £100 to spend which won't go a long way in such expensive shops, I was still determined to come back with something. However there were many disappointments along the way. I went to Harrods on the first day of it's sale. I was expecting it to be busy, but I was not prepared for queue's that went all round the building and even inside. I could barley move. I love shopping and see it as something enjoyable to do, and this was not my idea of fun. I decided that it was not worth the hassle so left the store. Taking at least half an hour to get my way through the crowds and avoiding being elbowed in the face. If I had more money to spend I would of stayed as with more money I would of been able to purchase something incredible. But with my budget I could only stretch to the posh make-up counter.

I had more luck at the stress free sale at Harvey Nicks, I had to take back a Christmas present that my brother bought me. A lovely set of black and gold See by Chloe bangles but that were unfortunately too big. Luckily I exchanged them for a See by Chloe purse. I also fell in love with a pair of  hot pink shorts by Phillip Lim 2:1. The sale price which was scribbled on the tag in biro, made the price slightly in clear however I read it as £59 so rushed to the catch out to buy them for it to discovered that the five was actually an eight and therefore out of my price range. I was seriously gutted. To cheer myself up I got the beautiful fashion fairy tale book by Christian Lacroix which was half price in Waterstones on the Kings Road for £7.99.
