What's In My Bag?

Bag - Zara (similar here and here)

This is one of those quick, yet interesting posts I love to see on blogs and Youtube, as they provide me with a satisfying stalker fix - I love snooping on what other people carry around with them on a daily basis, without cheating, faking or removing old tissues and bus tickets - does anyone else love that, or am I just weird and creepy?

But first, about the bag, as some of you may be interested: 

I've been swooning over a Zara Office bag ever since I grew out of carrying a sporty backpack to school - I'm guessing coming to uni had a lot to do with it. 

This one is not the Office one, but it's pretty close to it in its elegant simplicity - it can also carry a lot of weight and goes with anything I wear. Inside, there is a closed, zipped laptop compartment in the middle, and two massive open ones on both sides. The front pocket also comes in handy, whenever you want to be able to find your phone or keys easier. Considering it isn't leather, it has been serving me well for almost a year now and doesn't carry many signs of damage at all.

I purchased the bag a year ago around Christmas time, so the exact model is not available anymore I'm afraid, but do have a look on Zara website, as they have many more gorgeous everyday bags to choose from! 

Onto the contents:

I am pretty consistent with clearing out my bags, so you won't find much unnecesary crap here - these are basically my top essentials I rarely leave the house without. 

A bit of beauty, a bit of hygiene, and favourite electronic gadgets to keep me entertained.

I try and always have a pen and a notebook or calendar on me as well, so I can easily jot down a phone number, address or event that I may be interested in. 

I'm guessing all of this is pretty basic and won't come as much of a shock to any of you, but this is what I carry with me at all times:

Orbit chewing gum

Tangle Teezer hairbrush

Soap & Glory travel-size hand cream

Pocket mirror

Bubblegum scented Carex

Palmer's cocoa butter and cherry lip balm

Wet 'n' Wild lipstick in mocha-licious

Invisibobble

Nail file

Ibuprofen

Keys/ student ID card

iPod Shuffle (v.old)

Pocket calendar

Kindle Paperwhite e-reader

H&M mini pencil case

Purse (thrifted)

Sony Xperia M2 smartphone

Have you spotted anything you carry in your handbag as well? Or maybe there are essentials here that you always need but forget to pack? 

Let me know what you hide in your bags, girls!

Kisses,
