I'm Back... and With a New Bag!

I know it's been a while guys and there is nothing I can do than apologise. There's really no excuse for not blogging for 6 MONTHS!

So I thought I'd fill you all in on the last 6 months of my life. 

So first of all I qualified as  lifeguard back in July then I met my wonderful boyfriend Jack who I am still with 5 months next Tuesday (hehe). It was then my 18th birthday in August also in August I was accepted into the University of Bedfordshire. September was a hectic month as I passed my driving test and started University - exciting times. In October I got my first car a Toyota Aygo Go! - her name is Scarlet. Not much happened in November and December (other than Christmas and New Years). Anyway that's you updated with the last 6 moths of my life and let's get onto why you really clicked onto this post... My handbag.

This bag was a recent purchase and in Topshop anyone who knows me knows that I'm not really a big fan of Topshop as I know I can get the exact same item in New Look or River Island for half the price. Anyway I was having a little browse in my spare time between lectures at uni and I decided to have a little snoop around Topshop when I saw my bag and that was it I was in love but I could't afford it with Christmas around the corner. However, on Christmas Day my lovely aunt gave me a nice little £20 gift voucher for Topshop. On New Years Eve my family and Jack went into London to see the fireworks and we took a stroll down Oxford Street, walked past Topshop, saw the massive sale and decided that I would finally get my gorgeous bag and I did so with the sale, my Topshop voucher and my student discount my bag went from £60 to £14.20, woop woop!

The gold detailing of the bag gives the bag a sense of sophistication especially since the bag itself is made from worn leather material. The feature that caught my attention was the closing. The fold for the opening of the bag is magnetic so there's no need to worry about those pesky poppers or fiddly clasps as you just fold the material over and hey presto your bag is closed!

So in the contents I my gorgeous bag I have the usual female essentials: the purse, useless receipts, both house and car keys and don't forget that all important pen!

Not only have you got to have your womanly essentials but you got to have some beauty products on the go too! This is why I also take one of my Benefit balms with me not only are they so moisturising but they add that little pop of colour. Also recently I got my first Travello - best purchase ever! It's a mini perfume on the got so you don't have to lug round your full size bottle. The best thing about it is that once it's empty you can refill it with a different perfume and the 2 scents won't mix - how amazing?!

You then have to have something to keep you entertained during the day, obvs! Since starting at uni me and my dude best friend have been visiting Costa a lot not as frequently as Paige but I'll let her tell you that story. Anyway some days when he's not in I still pop down to costa inbetween lectures have a coffee and read my kindle or a book (currently it's Zoe Sugg's Girl Online - fantastic btw!)
Also on these lonely days at uni and walking around campus on me ones music is my only source of entertainment therefore my beats come with my no matter what.
Since I'm at uni I'm obligated to carry around my student ID and in all honesty it's not a bag    
                                                                                 picture, woop woop!

Some of the more random bits I carry around are my beanie, a bit of fruits and my shades. Now the shades are quite practical to be fair. I carry them for when I'm in my car and the sun really gets in my eyes - told you it was logical! Now the beanie is incase it's windy outside. If you're one of the lucky ones your hair will stay in place and look fantastic but I however am not that girl. My hair goes absolutely everywhere in the wind so beanie is a must have in the winter. As for the fruit well sometimes I get hungry in my lectures and you don't want to hear a loud stomach growl because that's so embarrassing.

Now I've updated you on my life and my new bag - aren't you all lucky!
has the contents of your handbag changed over the last 6 months?
