One of my 2015 words is {s i m p l i f y }
I want that to cover lots of things.
Don't buy as much, get rid of things I never use, the kids toys, clothes etc. I also decided to simplify what I carry in my handbag.
First off, I keep my whippingpost out at all times with the things I would usually carry just in case, one day I need the extra space. Then I can just transfer the bits from my smaller bag into the tote.
Inside I keep a handbag organiser by 'purse to go' I used them with my Louis Vuitton speedys. One to keep them organised and two to give them alittle but of structure.
It has everything I need (and maybe lis more!! 🙈)
I have.....
Orla kiely for target makeup bag
Sunglasses case
Loccitane handcream
Paper soap
Ear phones
First aid kit
Wipes
Small juice
Shopper
Hair pins
Herbal sweets
At the bottom of the bag I keep another shopper tote. And in the pocket I keep some pens my glasses small handcream and a lip gloss.
I absolutey love the whipping post tote. It's getting better with age. It's so soft and lovely. I did want the messenger bag but as I'd decided to change the size of bag I carry I changed my mind.
And that leads me onto my new love!
The 11" red cambridgesatchel.
I have a 15" batchel and two 14" Cambridge satchels but I really wanted a small one.
And it's perfect.....
The red of this bag is the most perfect red I ever did see! (And I know my reds!❤️)
I'd already brought a little zipper pouch which I intended to go in my 11". Luckily it fits really well :)
The reason behind the pouch was for security. As you know the Cambridge satchels only have the buckles and two open compartments. Sometimes I forget to buckle the bag so with the pouch, I just zip it up and it puts my mind at rest.
It's from wilkinsons and it's the cutest!
I love the little bird on the zipper pull. I think it matches the red really nicely and once I have my tan one it'll also match that too. Perfecto!
So this is what I keep in that pouch.....
My filofax/purse
Body shop Indian jasmine perfume
My sunglasses and my makeup.
All I really need :)
In the front pocket I keep.....
Lip balms
My keys
Hair band
Hair tie
Handcream
Hand sanitiser
Chewing gum
And lolly pops (you never know when you need alittle sugar boost!)
This bag, for it's size actually fits rather a lot in it!
So that's it friends! What I keep in my bag!
I hope you enjoyed it :)
Lots of love
Char
