WHAT'S IN MY BAG - UPDATED

Hi guys! I thought I would update you with 'whats in my bag' since its been about a year since I last posted a 'whats in my bag' so...

My bag is actually from Primark and I got it about a month and a half ago, because although I have a load of bags, the Marc B one I was using had broke (zip) and I really wanted this one because it's very similar to the Zara City Girl Office Bag (or whatever the name of it is) and it's black. It has a 3 compartments, the main bag area then on either side to quite spacious zip compartments, which is very handy..

 Okay, so the first thing I pulled out my bag was my purse, obviously I always carry this with me because yours going to need money everywhere you go, so that's that. My purse is from Topshop and was £22 I think and I absolutely adore it and use it all the time and I actually need to stitch it because the inside stitching has worn away but yeah it is my favourite thing in my bag.

 I thought I would just add a quick picture of my bank card because it is so cute with my picture of me and some friends whilst in Disneyland Paris and just how cute?!

The next thing I pulled out was my umbrella from H&M, I have just recently started carrying this all the time because I live in the UK and the weather is so unpredictable and to be honest, it rains everyday and I would forget to pick my brolly up on a morning and get soaked when the rain came. So now it just keep it in there all the time.

Make-up bag is an essential because through out the day I will top up my make up or put some lip balm on and its just easier to keep everything together in a little bag than the have it all over in your bag! My makeup bag is also from H&M and was £4.99.

Batise, Impulse body spray, hair grips and a pen, pretty much everything a girl would have in her bag. Self explanatory really..

 I also always carry my Tangle Teezer because my hair goes really tatty in the wind so I can give it a quick brush if I need to. I also currently am carrying the book I am reading at the moment which I love and you should definitely check it out!

My charger is also something I carry with me everywhere because I am constantly on my phone listening to music or playing the Kim Kardashian game, so I need my battery to last for the day I am out and if not I can pit stop in Starbucks and recharge in there. I also had a Lipton Peach Ice Tea in my bag today because it was on special in a shop in town so I grabbed two of those but drank one already.. FACT: I don't actually like Tea but I do like this....

From the little pockets in side of my bag I pulled my Bus pass which gets me everywhere I go, a 10 pence which was change from my bus ticket, a Topshop Lipstick to remind me to top up my lippy and my housekey's which have a lot of disney key rings on. 

From the first large side compartment I have a beautiful note book. I always carry this really cute little notebook around with me incase I ever need to jot anything down or I can write ideas I have for blogpost's or fashion inspiration and its the cutest thing ever. I got this from Home Sense and I think it was £6.99 but its a leather notebook and has little bells on the the string ties on the side.

And from the other side compartment I have CV's which I tend to carry with me because I am desperately looking for a job and the only way to get a job is handing your CV out everywhere you go. I also have a pair of sunglasses just in case the sun does ever come out (rarely) and I don't want to be blinded by it. The pair I have in my bag are just from primark but they are beautiful and I love them so that makes me happy, I also got the case from primark just to protect them but all together I dont think I paid more than £5 for the glasses and the case, so it was a bargain.

That is every thing that I have in my bag apart from some crumbs and stuff but yeah...

Long time // No see

Aloha,

So yesterday I attended Newcastle Fashion week's Northumbria University Graduate show. It was amazing. All of the work produced by the students were amazing, I would buy it all straight away if I could. It was very inspiring and with my FMP coming up I intend on using the images I got and what I saw as inspiration. Having seen this show and done my works experience at Northumbria University, yestderday made my mind set on being a Fashion Design student at Northumbria. The pieces created were absolutely amazing and you could definetly see where their inspiration came from.  Below are some of my favourite pieces.
 

 

 

It was such a good day and I would really reccomend it for any whom is wanting to go into fashion in the future or even if you go just for fun. An excellent day.
