What's In My Bag?

WHATS IN MY BAG ?

Hey Lovelies! 
As promised I have a what's in my bag/purse post! 
I recently purchased a new bag that I literally have been drooling over for months but it was never in stock whenever I went to the store! Luckily I have a friend who works there so I was able to have her keep a look out for whenever a new one comes in . Literally as soon as it hits the shop floor its gone in less than 2 hours and they only every sell one or two at a time! That being said I am Super grateful to my friend for grabbing the latest available bag for me and I could not be happier with my choice! 
So lets jump right in and snoop through my bag because I know thats all you really care about ;-)


THE BAG
The Bag i'm currently using is from Clarks Shoes . Its 100% genuine Leather , which is Perfect for the completely unpredictable weather we have here .  The bag contains three sections, with the centre section having a zip and also a flap to go over the top, to secure all three parts. It also comes with a detachable cross body strap which may come in handy when I start back at Uni. For now , I will not have the strap attached and I will not have any school related supplies in my bag :-)



BEAUTY & FASHION
These are the beauty and fashion related items I like to keep with me at all times , sometimes ill alternate certain lipsticks or mascara. If i don't carry my makeup bag with me then all ill bring are these few essentials! Also I always like to keep my outfits interchangeable from day to night, so if at the last minute I get invited to go out and I don't have time to change , ill throw on these few accessories and it dresses up my outfit instantly!

Mascara- Barry M
Bath and Bodyworks - Sweet Peony Dream Hand Lotion
EOS Lip Balm- Mint
MAC Lipstick- Chili
MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation - NW50
H&M- Foundation Brush
Bow Ring - Charlotte Russe
Black Chain Necklace - Forever 21
Chunky Black & Gold Necklace - Forever 21
THE ESSENTIALS
These items are all products that MUST be in my bag regardless of anything else . As I mentioned , the weather is completely unpredictable here so an umbrella is completely necessary. I carry around a small one because its compact and easy to store in my bag , however it's not the most practical. I have had numerous fights with the wind, and have been unfortunate to  have my umbrella fly inside out and even out of my hands sometimes! (windy rain I WILL defeat you... ONE DAY! lol)
If i dont have a comb and a brush ill be walking around like Medusa, my hair will literally be so tangled It will look like im wearing a head of snakes! so i refuse to leave the house without my brush and comb. That way I can do myself and the surrounding public a favor by keeping my Maine tamed!
My keys are also essential, the last thing I need is to be locked outside! No this is not a "whats in my travel bag" , and yes I walk with my passport!  I travel so much that it makes more sense to use my passport as ID, otherwise ill be walking around with 3 or 4 different IDs lol . I also change my passport cover like it's my phone case . I have no idea why , I just really love the different styles you can purchase. I like to keep my wallet small and simple , I try not to carry cash around with me , it's safer that way. So I use my mini wallet to carry club cards and a few dollars or pound notes here and there.

Umbrella - Sainsburys
Comb - Marshalls
Brush - TJMAXX
Bus Keychain - London
Kathy Charm Keychain- Kathy Purse I previously owned
Kate Spade - Passport Cover
Kate Spade - Wallet
GUILTY PLEASURES
These items are optional but I usually carry them around every time I go out for the day . When I go out there is a 99% chance ill end up in Starbucks, so this is the time ill whip out my latest read and possibly touch up my nails!  I have a top up Starbucks gift card that I put $20 a month onto just so I have an excuse to go every once and a while :-) If I don't feel like reading my book , then i'm always in the mood for a magazine to get video or blog ideas from.

Starbucks - Gift Card
Topshop - Nail Polish
Book- Will Grayson Will Grayson
Elle Magazine - January Issue
ELECTRONICS
You guys all know I have a soft spot for electronics , in fact for valentines day ... if i had a valentine..... I would have been madly in love with him if he bought me an electronic device .. rather than flowers lol. Well you should all know that my Ipad is my second child, It doesn't leave my side if they made hip  pouches for Ipads I would buy 7 .. one for every day of the week lol :-) The case (which you can't see) is a colorful designer Coach case. ... I deliberately didn't show you because ill be showing you in next  weeks blog post . Along side my Ipad is my Iphone with a Kate Spade case . Obviously you can tell I have a slight obsession with Kate spade lol  Usually my iphone is in my coat pocket but every now and again ill throw it in my bag .
Apple Ipad - 4th Generation
Iphone 4s - Kate Spade Case

So that is it guys!

The Birmingham Clothes Show Live 2013 - Haul & GIVEAWAY!!

Hey Lovlies!
I had the most fun on a tuesday I've ever had before ! I attended The Clothes Show live  and it was just beyond amazing. This is my second time ever attending. the last time I went i was about 14 and me and some school friends decided to go last minute and I didn't even have any money with me! BUT I wont tons of swag bags so there were no complaints thats day! lol I think i was just fighting so hard to win something because I didn't want to leave empty handed, so i screamed the loudest and pushed my way to the front of every crowd. 
AHH the determination of a teenage drama queen! 
£5 So Susan goodie bag , £5 Jelly Pong Pong bag , £10 Barry M bag , $2 Cresty Cosmetics bag, $15 for the iphone case and the macbook case together, $5 Goodie bag with random makeup brands , £1 for Cosmo & Company magazine swag bag , £2 for Elle magazine swag bag , Free cosmo fit magazine (it was the end of the day and they just left them all on the table for everyone to grab) $3 Playboy lipstick and nail duo.
This time however I was not so lucky in the "free stuff" department but I did bring a semi decent amount of money . I gave myself a budget of £50 and didn't spend a penny more!
Im super happy with my purchases and I know you can't wait to see what I got so ill jump right in!

How to ROCK Polka Dots in your 20s!!


Once you hit a certain age you tends to wonder if you are tool old to wear certain things and polka dots are definitely a questionable fashion trend. Typically polka dots are associated with teens or even infants  but lately they have become a trend for the 20-30 age demographic.  I personally LOVE polka dots but I have to be careful how I wear them because I'm a Montserrat and I don't want to come across too child like. So here I have put together some photos I found on Pinterest , featuring perfect examples of how to wear Polka dots. Fashionably and sexy !
This first example is a Dark colored top with light dots .
I Love this look ! Dark colors are sexier naturally and you can pull this off with any kind of bottoms .  Medium sized Polka Dot's sends the message that you are sweet and approachable, in comparison to this next look.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE PROM DRESS 2013!!

ITS PROM SEASON for all seniors out there , although im too old for highschool i'm still a teen at heart . I'm absolutely obsessed with prom fashion and makeup! During prom season i always search for the most fashionable prom dress that i wish i could have worn to my prom (even though I never had a prom) Hey I can pretend!
This dress is so me! It's on trend, these patterns are slimming and it shows just enough skin to be sexy but conservative at the same ! (slit in the back)
The pearls add a classy feel to the dress.
 If you havent had prom yet I strongly suggest you order this dress from boohoo.com

UPCYCLE AN OLD PURSE INTO A NEW PURSE! DIY


I havent done a DIY post in a really long time so I figured I would whip out my sewing machine and get to work! 
 I found a really old bag cheap that was torn on the inside  and just really unusable  the outside is faux leather and was still in great quality,so i undid the stitches and separated the bag into pieces. 
I then found an old top  that had a chain as the strap and removed the chain to use for the straps for the bag. 
I didn't really have a specific design , I just knew I wanted it to be smaller and I wanted it to be a cross body! 
I simply just made it up as I went along . 
It took about 3 hours to complete and im happy with the results. 
VOILA!














Have you ever made your own Bag/Purse before?
