10 Must-Haves For Your Handbag

Happy Saturday everyone! It’s been one busy week! And with this week being so busy, I’ve been on the go a lot, so I’ve been thinking about what I absolutely MUST have in my bag.. and poof! Today’s post appeared.

It’s kind of crazy how much stuff I carry around with me, and I think that’s partly due to women’s clothes often lacking in pockets! Or having pockets which are either fake or so tiny you can only fit a 50p coin in there.

It always makes me laugh when someone says to me: ‘Why is your bag so big? You surely don’t need it that big?’. Well you do if you haven’t got pockets and when your boyfriend asks if he can put of his stuff in your bag too, and sometimes I just like having a huge bag to be honest!

Let’s get into it!

1 . Your Purse – Duh!

I can’t go anywhere without it, even if I know I won’t be needing it.

2 . Hand Sanitiser

I hate using public toilets, and even though there’s soap and sinks, I still like to have that little extra clean feeling. Plus, all of my friends and family often ask me for it.

3 . Travel Perfume

If you’re someone who always has perfume on, I’d suggest getting yourself a travel perfume bottle! They’re super cheap and it’s great for when you’re on the go and want a little refresh.

4 . Headphones

I can’t go anywhere without my headphones now, partly because everyone nowadays are listening to music and podcasts on the go! Plus it’s great for if you need to make a phone call when out and about and need to hear someone better.

5 . Water

A bit of a change from what I used to take along with me, I never carried any form of drinks with me but these days I need to bring water with me! I get that you can buy a bottle, but why spend more money when you can bring it yourself?

6 . Hair Grips and Clips

I have recently started my curly girl hair journey (post to follow in a few weeks!) and with that comes not using any form of heat on my hair and letting my natural curls and waves do their thing, which means that every now and again my hair goes a bit nuts… So hair grips and clips are pretty essential for me at the moment!

7 . Nail file

I don’t know about you but I often chip my nails when I’m about and about, and hate it when they catch on my clothes, so over the years I’ve just got used to carrying a nail file around.

8 . At Least One Pen

I always need a pen when I haven’t got one so I’ve got into the habit of leaving one in my bag all the time, and voila’ no more needing a pen and not having one.

9 . Power Pack and Cable

As someone who loves taking photos, listening to music and because I use my phone as a sat-nav sometimes, my phones battery life goes down ridiculously fast, so a power pack is a must. My power pack doubles as a torch too!

10 . Different Earrings

This one’s not essential, but it’s something I like to always have with me for if I ever decide to switch up my look whilst I’m out and about!

And those are the essentials that I carry with my everywhere! I would say I’m a bit of a mum when it comes to what’s in my handbag, partly because I have basically everything plus the kitchen sink in there! Haha!

What are your handbag essentials? Did any of these surprise you? Let me know in the comments! Have a great weekend lovelies!!

Statement Fashion Ideas I Want To Try

Hey everyone! This week I’ve been looking at loads of stylish looks on Pinterest and have decided that I’m going to try these out this summer. There’s several accessories that I feel make these a full ‘look’; hats, bold lipstick, glasses, bold shoes and bag combo, bold clothes in general, braces/suspenders and bold jewellery.

So here’s my inspiration for the next coming weeks!

To check out more of my inspo (since you can’t see all of my pins here!) go to my Pinterest and check them out!

Obviously it’s going to be a little expensive to try all of these things out, so I’m definitely planning a trip to Primark to cut the costs down a bit and I’ll probably check out Asos and a few other online shops for ideas! And if I try out some of these things and it doesn’t work out for me, maybe I’ll do a giveaway!

(All of the images you’re going to see below are featured on my Pinterest so if you want to check out where things are from then you’ll be able to find info on them there!)

So, here’s some hats I can’t wait to find and try:

Here’s my bold Red lipstick inspo:

 

Here’s my inspo to try wearing glasses:

 

I love a bright shoe and/or bag with an outfit, especially because I wear a lot of monochrome stuff. So here’s my inspo:

 

I’ve always loved how suspenders look on men and women, so this is something I can’t wait to try! Here’s my inspo:

 

And finally… here’s some bright and bold outfits and accessories I can’t wait to try on!

 

I can’t wait to try out some new things and maybe develop my personal fashion style a bit further and make it a bit more fun since at the moment it’s pretty much just black and white clothes and jeans.. And considering a love colour it’s so boring at the moment!

I’ll definitely do some updates on how I find trying these new looks out and what I’ll be keeping and what I could be giving away! Bright colours always scared me when it came to fashion because I’m super pale, but recently I’ve realised that it doesn’t matter what you skin tone is or what other people think about what you’re wearing. Moral of the story is that it doesn’t matter what other people think about your style, and you should wear whatever you want and fashion is there to be experimented with!!

So that’s it from me today my lovelies.. Do you have any new style items you want to try? If so, let me know in the comments below! Have a great weekend!! Love,
