Anyways enough of my borderline bag pron. I thought that this was the best opportunity I've ever had to do a post about what's in my bag. It is For Serious one of my favourite blog genres. Is there a website dedicated to what is in people's bags? If there is, I want to see it. If there isn't, I want to know why. I love reading about what other people have hidden away in their (admittedly, inferior) handbags.
This is what I have in mine:
1. My lovely Filofax with vintage felt transfer. I love this bad boy so much, and may I comment on how my life has changed for the better? I am way more organised.
2. Maiden Voyage eelskin wallet. This feels amazing, and is the perfect size for all my bits and pieces. I upgraded two weeks ago from a big lumpy leather clutch I have had for about five years. It's so satisfying being able to find anything. This photo doesn't show it very well, but the wallet is a gorgeous shade of turquoise green - green being, apparently, the most auspicious wallet colour.
3. This is my sunglass case. It only occurred to me after taking the photograph that I should have taken the sunglasses out. They're rip off Ray Bans with a plastic mother of pearl trim; Shan brought them back from India. This is me wearing them in the kitchen (the poster is in the kitchen).
4. Asthma inhaler
5. Lip balm (Blistex Silk & Shine) and a pink lipstick that snuck in to my old bag a couple of weeks ago and managed to get transferred over.
6. My phone (Nokia E63). It's sitting on a little felt case that I made for it.
7. Snack box with Tamari almonds.
8. Minimalised keys and bottle opener for picnic beer emergencies.
9. Pill box containing Kava herbal supplements - or, as I like to call it, "herbal Valium". Good for my inevitable anxiety days.
10. iPod and ear buds, also sitting on a felt case that I made for it (and that is falling apart due to overuse!)
Notable absences: water bottle and a paper back in it's knitted cover. Also, did you note the lack of a halfway acceptable photograph? My photography really is execrable.
