What's In My New Handbag?

Hi guys!

I hope you're all well?

I recently took a trip to Covent Garden to have my hair done and whilst doing so I passed the Michael Kors store. I'd been eyeing up their new range for a while and there was one bag in particular that I really wanted to see (and potentially purchase). Of course, it only took one look at said handbag and I'd already got my debit card at the ready and my overdraft in full swing - not really, but close!





£330//$368

I decided to purchase the Sutton Medium Embossed Leather Satchel in the colour 'Merlot' (more info here). I really love Michael Kors' handbags as they're such good quality and last a really long time. I tend to use the same bag every day (with the exception of nights out/small shopping trips etc..) so I feel the money spent is somewhat justified. 

Now that I've transferred all of my handbag contents into my new bag (and had a general tidy up), I thought now would be a good time to do the popular 'what's in my handbag' tag. I personally love this tag as I'm super nosey about what people carry around with them - hopefully you are too!

Mirror
Hairbrush (and hair band)
Filofax pen
iPhone 5s
Headphones
Oyster travel card (and snazzy case)
Everyday Make-up bag and contents (I may do my everyday make-up look if anyone is interested?)
Purse
Purse strap (turns purse into a clutch bag)
Table handbag holder (very handy if you don't like leaving your bag on the floor when eating out etc..)
Portable phone charger
iPhone 5s charger
House keys
Umbrella
M&S Limited Collection perfume
Avon Cocoa Butter hand cream (I love this stuff)
Nurofen
Rene
Strepsils
Hayfever tablets
Pocket plasters
Extra gum

Kindle (I'm currently reading The Forest Of Hands And Teeth by Carrie Ryan. My favourite actress Maisie Williams has just been cast to play in it so I had to get reading, it's really good so far!)

Luckily my new handbag has plenty of room to store all of my life contents! 

Let me know if you've done one of these posts/made a video about what's in your handbag as I'd love to check them out. Also, if you think there's anything handy that I could carry around make sure to tell me in the comments!

Thanks for reading!
