What's In My Handbag?

Posted on the 02 June 2012 by Accordingtoamber @sgwennu
I love my bag. Maybe a little too much. It was a bargain that I had hidden in the back of the stock room at work for about three weeks, waiting for it to come down in price. It's real leather and it's much more of a buttery yellow than these pictures show. It was originally £60 and was returned to the store by a customer so we only had one of them in. After a while, it randomly dropped down to £35 and then with my 30% discount it was pretty much a steal.I keep this wrapped up in a little side pocket of my bag. I think it was £1 when I went to buy some shampoo and was caught without a bag. I love it though, and it's somehow stayed really clean. Unlike my purse which you'll see in a moment.  This, dear readers is my beloved Filofax. I have no idea where I'd be without this thing. It has everything about my life in it. It's a Filofax Personal Adelphi in Scarlett and was another incident where we only had one left in work so I got it really cheap. They are usually around the £50 mark, so I don't think I would have ever bothered buying one if it hadn't been reduced down so much. I think I had it for about £17.50.  The pen I keep with it is a Parker. I really love this pen, and I'd been lusting after it for nearly five months before it was bought for me by a charming fellow. It was around the £20 mark and you can grab one here if you like it! I use a converter with mine, so I use bottled ink instead of cartridges. Sometimes I use art ink in bright colours - otherwise it's Quink Blue/Black. My car key! I'm always always losing this, so I have a spare one as well which lives on the fridge which has a Vans keyring on instead. Obviously, I much prefer the Simon's Cat one because I'm obsessed with it! Okay, I say obsessed - I go through phases of being obsessed then kinda forget all about it for a few months then come back to it again. If you've ever had a cat, then you'll understand why Simon's Cat is so funny! I think dogs have owners and cats have staff!This my makeup bag! Yes, I do literally fit everything I use on a daily basis into this bag. It's a black and gold print which I think is very pretty without being too much, if you get me? If you don't believe that I fit everything in this, I will do a 'what's in my make-up bag' post later in the week! The Essentials. I warned you that my purse was grubby! I've had this Jane Norman purse for nigh on two years now, and it's had a suffered existence at the bottom of many a handbag with dust, pen lids and old receipts. I've tried giving it a bit of a scrub but it hasn't done much for it sadly. I currently also have my darling Polaroids in their box in my bag as I love looking at them so much! I'm thinking about finding a decent scrapbook and put them in that because otherwise I don't really know what to do with them. Any ideas on displaying Polaroids?Also, in case you had no idea what I was on about up there...Bloglovin//Facebook//Twitter
