What's In My Bag

I brought this bag in the recent mid-season sales from Urban Outfitters at £38 (I believe?) this is my new favourite! I like to think I'm quite organised and so this bag is perfect has it has many compartments for various sized articles.

In the back pocket I carry my car and house keys, this is so I always know exactly where they are and don't have to do the embarrassing hunt through the bottom of my handbag looking for them while someone's waiting for my parking space. On my keys I've just got a photo keyring of all my closest friends, a small 'bear' that my mum brought me, a flipflop keyring my cousins brought back from Costa Rica, a keyring with my name on, a plastic River Island logo from work and a Tesco's Clubcard.

In the middle inside compartment of my handbag I've got my MAC compact mirror and also my Sighh Designs pocket mirror (you can never have too many mirrors!) 

Then in the back zip pocket I've got a sachet of Ibuprofen - an essential - and two packets of chewing gum, I think I may be addicted to this stuff, like is that even normal?!

In the front pouch I carry my iPhone and my lip product for that day.

In the biggest compartment I carry my ted baker purse (review here) my ted baker make up bag, a handbag size Victoria Secret fragrance in Pure Seduction, my lanyard for work because if it's not in there I'll lose it and won't be able to go through any doors at work and my glasses so that I can see when I'm driving.

I know the bag doesn't look very big, but I feel like Mary Poppins pulling stuff out of it. They've clearly utilised all aspects of the bag as there are several pockets and pouches meaning I could possibly carry the kitchen sink, should I ever want to.

What handbag do you use? What do you carry in it?

Sighh Designs

I first heard about this 'small' business on Jemma's blog and after seeing the mirror she'd purchased I had to have a proper look through their website. 

Sighh Designs is a buisness run by Polly Vadasz, selling phone cases, pocket mirrors and nail transfers. Every design is hand drawn and unique and as soon as I saw them, I wanted every single one. At the time however I didn't purchase anything god knows why, however I'm glad I didn't because recently she added a new design to her collection. 

Selfie Case

This phone case was made for me. I'm a huge fan of a selfie and with around 2,000 pictures in my phone's camera roll 95% of them are selfies. At £14.00, I just couldn't say no. The quality of these phone cases are great, although I know it won't protect my phone from a fall, I can see the design lasting a long time and being pretty scratch resistant.

As I was already on the website, I went to look at the pocket mirrors also and found one that I'd almost purchased back in January when I first read Jemma's post. Then it fell into my online basket and that was that.

Lipstick on Teeth Syndrome Pocket Mirror

Although the mirrors aren't particularly large, they do the job and fit nicely into my make-up bag or the pocket of my handbag. If I'm wearing lipstick, you can bet it'll be on my teeth and so this mirror is just perfect. It's not large enough that it's embarrassing to pull out and check my teeth, but it is bold enough that it makes a statement if someone were to catch me.

Side Note: the way the mirrors are packaged and sent to the recipient is so cute and adds personality - giving that impression they could be a 'one off product' even though they aren't.

Sighh Designs is definitely worth checking out and is a business that deserves a lot more recognition.
