In my Handbag

In September I shared what was inside my handbag. People were surprised. My bag was a little like the Tardis or a clown's car. Now I have a new handbag and it is significantly smaller than my previous number one. I have had to streamline the crap I insisted on carrying.

Meet my new love: A coral Mimco handbag. She is an early birthday present from my husband, notice how well she plays with my iPhone cover.
My necessities:

  • Lucus Paw Paw Ointment, of course
  • Florabotanica by Balenciaga. This is still my favourite perfume and another recent present from the hubster
  • Bobby Pins. I am growing out my short do
  • OPI A roll in the Hague. My BFF bought it for me and she has excellent taste
  • House key. My sister bought the keyring and she also has excellent taste
  • Swisspers facial cleansing wipes. Sometimes you feel like ripping that makeup off your face
  • Fossil Purse. This is a fossil and desperately needs to be updated
  • Oroton Sunglasses. Every girl needs black sunnies
  • Panadol
  • Chanel Lipgloss in Emoi. The perfect gloss
  • iPhone 5
What I use to carry:
You can find the itemised list here
I'm loving the new smaller bag but I wonder how long I can last before the crap starts creeping back in.

What surprise items are hiding at the bottom of your bag?


Edit: I have noticed that the lovely Luc from Love Luc x has a handbag post too. Great minds and all :)  She is definitely prepared for the day. I love checking out what's in other people bags.

  1. What scares me most about mine is the discarded tissues and receipts.

  2. I am on the prowl for a new bag and wondered whats the best way to select a bag color? I have seen yellows and corals that I love but they wouldnt match most of my daily dressups which consist of jeans and whatever :)

  3. Yesterday found a leaking hand creme as a suprise at the bottom of my handbag- yuk. Thinking going for something smaller may be the answer to stop the junk. Like the new bag.

  4. I will have to do a handbag post for you then! Might have to clean it out first ... esp the wadded up (used) gum which has been replaced in its wrapper ... ewwww!

  5. I have my glasses case, sunglasses, wallet, lip balm and keys in one side. Change of clothes for the toddler, wipes and sunscreen in the other. And in the middle zipper, I've just found some tampons. Very useful at 6.5 months pregnant.

    1. I love your nappy bag. Are you going to be able to fit anymore into it for the newborn?

  7. Like the new bag! My mum just bought me a lovely light greyish Mimco bag, slightly bigger than yours, before heading back here to Brissy. A very, very early birthday/Christmas present...my birthday's in November, and we don't know when we'll get to see each other again. Lucky me :-)
