WHAT'S IN MY BAG // OOTD

Hey, happy Friday everyone! Not only is it Friday but I'm off college now for a 4 day weekend, yay! Since I've already done a post about me and my life and another one beauty related, I thought I'd do a what's in my bag to try and mix it up a little bit. Now, this is just what's in my bag on a day-to-day basis; if I'm going to college then I will obviously have my books and if I'm going to the gym then I will have my shoes, towel etc but this is just the basics. Anyway, on with whats in my bag..




Tan leather bag - Zara
Firstly, the bag that I use.. I absolutely love this bag! I remember seeing it in Zara from far away and not thinking much of it, then at 00:00 on Boxing Day - me and Joe waited up for the sale, ha! - I began looking through the handbag section then in the TRF bit, I found this beauty. I have been after a tan handbag for a while after my cheap old one broke and when I saw this it was perfect. It was on sale for £19.99 down from £39.99 so not only is it beautiful, it was an absolute steal considering it's leather! It's huge meaning all my crap fits in there whilst still looking stylish. I love the colour as its tan without too much orange. Basically, I'm in love.


Diary - Paperchase
If you read my 2014 post then you'll know I recently bought a diary in order to be more organised. I chose this one after falling in love with a similar one on instagram. It's pretty and stops me from forgetting everything, perfect. Oh and of course, what's a diary without a pen to write in it with?


Fruity perfume - Zara

I often find perfume fades or I forget to put it on so having this in my bag is ideal. I love how fresh it smells however I may have to try a different one as this reminds me too much of when I was pregnant.


Lipstick in Nector - MUA // Peal & beauty lip balm - Nivea // Lasting Perfection concealer - Collection 2000 // Stay Matte Powder in Peach glow - Rimmel
These are the main makeup items I keep in my bag; I have concealer in case a spot decides to make an unwelcome appearance on my face, whatever lipstick - if any - I'm wearing that day, a lip balm as my lips tend to become very dry and a powder to keep away shine. The concealer is great, it's super thick, creamy and covers spots like a dream. I love this lipstick as it's only £1 and is a lovely coraly-nude colour. 

Thought I would add in another photo - too much writing!

Base shadow brush and powder brush - Real Techniques
The shadow brush is for blending concealer and the powder brush is to go with my stay matte. I love both of these brushes dearly.

Holographic purse - River Island
I absolutely love this purse! It's the perfect size for change and my everyday bank card but it's not way too big like some other purses. This purse comes in both this smaller size and another larger one and I really wish I would have bought the larger one too! The pattern is just so pretty and now its sold out. When I was buying my bag, I seen a clutch bag in this pattern from Zara reduced to £9.99, I was in love, then when I went to buy it, it was sold out! *cries*

'I need lipstick' mirror - Forever 21
The final thing in my bag is my mirror. I hate the thought of having something on your face - I'm a messy eater! - or a giant spot that everyone else has spotted that I can't see, that's why I have my mirror. It also makes lipstick application a lot easier! 


Top - Forever 21 // Rabbit necklace - Topshop // Belt - River Island // Trousers - Topshop
So, this was yesterdays outfit including my lovely Zara bag! It's freezing right now in England so I wore my beloved Topshop parka coat over the top. Also, how freakin' hard is it to take an outfit photo?! I only have my iPhone so taking this was extremely difficult, even with a timer app. I will just apologize for the terrible quality, none of the photos I took were great so I just chose the best of a bad bunch! Do you like the post tittles being in capitals? I thought I would mix it up but I'm not too sure yet. I hope you enjoyed this post, it seems a little bit boring but hey ho :)

This may seem a bit of a weird way to end a post but oh my god, I finished watching Breaking Bad with Joe yesterday and I love it. I won't say too much about the ending in case any of you are waiting to watch it. If you are, you will not be disappointed, trust me..
