Accessories Haulage and Whats in My Bag

Hello Monday, how did you creep round so fast? I hope everyone manages a decent day! I’m not working but do have blood tests to go for…so it’s not all sunshine and fairy tales here!
Hopefully going to see Black Swan tonight, I can’t remember the last film I saw at the cinema…it was at least two years ago though!

Just thought I’d show some of the accessories I bought on Saturday, I’ll do clothes etc separately as I wear them, though in the end I only ended up with two dresses. I hate when you see so much stuff online only to find your local store doesn’t carry it, or it’s not as nice in real life.

006

Tights, of course! Β£1 for the pale pink ones! The little sheer ankle socks were reduced to 50p a pair so I thought I’d get a couple to experiment with socks/sandals when the weather becomes nicer!
I could have gone mad in the jewellery section of Primark, SO MUCH goodness, but I either lose, or forget I have jewellery so I just got the earrings and necklace because they were too cute to leave behind. I was hoping to find an animal ring of some kind, but nada.

007

How hard is it to photograph belts? I fell in love with this bow buckle one.

001

Bag, Β£8, sold. I’ve needed a new bag to fit all my crap in, and although this is by no means the bag I had in mind, it’s cool and it’ll do until I am somewhat richer (seriously, I cannot afford over Β£40 on a bag which was what all the ones I loved cost!)

Which kind of leads me on to a what do I carry round post…again having seen them crop up on blogs lately, I thought I’d jump on board (whilst my bag is somewhat organised!)

002

Cath Kidston diary (a.k.a. my brain), cigs (because I am BAD), work rota, Cath Kidston coin purse which holds receipts and crap, Card Holder for loyalty cards etc, Notebook which instructs me on what to do at work (most pages read “ask ***”) and pen, artfully pinched from the hospital over the summer…I have about 20 of them!

003

Lighter and lipbalm, throat sweets left over from laryngitis, handcream, purse which is looking decidedly empty, ginger chews (for random attacks of nausea + I’m addicted), tissues and keys.

004

Gingerbread Nakd bar (best bars ever! I always carry one with me, and it’s always ginger or cocoa mint), vaseline and mac tinted lip conditioner because my lips are beyond redemption, nail files and mini perfume.

005

Phone which has pretty much given up the ghost. Glasses that no-one knows I wear, little bag where the stuff in the above photo lives, apart from the bar which I ate shortly after the photo!

Yeah. I really do carry a LOT. If you’ve done a whats in your bag post, link me, I’m nosy!

  9. Hi sweetie! Thanks so much, you don’t know how excited I am! I love the little bow belt. Haha I might do a whats in my bag post, although the truth is, not a lot. So it could be somewhat boring compared to your pretty bits & bobs

  10. Hurrah for Burt’s Bees! And I love the juxtaposition of the leopard-print next to the CK florals. I carry around so much junk as well, and I too have a ‘bag-within-a-bag’ so all the little fiddly bits don’t get lost at the bottom of the bigger one –

  11. Loving all the accessories, especially the bag and I love these ‘whats in you bag’ posts, I think I’ll do one soon.

    I really like you Cath Kidson stuff, I noticed you have 3 purses (1 for change/reciepts, 1 for cards etc and 1 for money I assume)!! :O You must really like purse! πŸ˜‰ xxx

  12. I have those 50p ankle socks, I couldn’t resist buying them.
    I love all of the Cath Kidston bits and the leopard print notepad is fab too xx

  13. I love this kind of posts, I’ve done it myself too a while ago.
    I have that exact same hand cream hehe.

  22. I love seeing handbag posts so much, I don’t quite know why. Maybe it’s the little sneak peek into the lives of stylish people? For whatever reason, I need to get around to doing one myself!

    Thanks for sharing πŸ™‚

  23. Love this post, is it wrong that I like seeing what others have in their bag? πŸ™‚

    just don’t like those cigarets πŸ™

  24. Yay, someone who also carries their life around with them! I had to try very hard to not go mad in the Primark jewellery section at the weekend, so many cute things πŸ™‚

    Where do you get those ginger chews from?! I am suffering from crazy bad nausea at the moment and am willing to try anything that may help!

  25. Oh I need your bow buckle belt! I saw one the other day but it was too loose for me:(

    Saw some nice butterfly tights in Primark at the weekend – nude with pink butterflies. Didn’t buy them though as couldn’t imagine what I’d wear them with

  35. As someone who is terribly nosey I love these posts, I would be on an age photographing all the crap I carry with me, I may attempt it someday soon.

  36. I totally need to post a WIMB this week it’s been so long since my last one and my bag is so overloaded at the moment!

    I’m a secret glasses wearer to, most of the time I don’t need them but I keep them on hand just incase xoxo

  37. Beautiful stuff πŸ™‚

  38. I love this kind of post although I wouldn’t dare show off about what was in my bag at the moment. Worst place ever. It’s so untidy, seriously, chocolate bars, makeup without a makeup bag, socks for god sake! It would be a horrific post x

    PS. Loved the makeup post also, I need some ideas of what stuff to buy, I’m absolutely clueless.

  39. I am a total minimalist when it comes to what I keep in my bag, ahaha! I have my phone, my iPod, some lip balm, my keys and thats it πŸ™

    Love everything you got from Primark πŸ™‚ The necklace and bow tights are lovely!
