What's in my handbag?

I've decided to do one of these posts because I'm always wanting to see what other girls carry around in their handbags. I find that showcasing items that are in your handbag really shows off your personality, so I wanted to show you mine.

Firstly this is my main college bag. I have many others but this bag is incredibly spacious and I adore it. Its an over sized 'Tilly Twisted' bag by Paul's Boutique and i find it perfect for carrying around all my folders. It did have a rosette but I decided to take it off because I didn't want it to fall off or get damaged.

Patrick Cox Purse

I love this purse so much. Its a navy blue colour and it has studs that revolve around the centre. It has so many compartments and it has to be one of the best purses I've ever bought.

This is just a really cheap cosmetics case from Primark and it has seen better days to be honest but it stores quite a lot and it's  ideal for key cosmetic pieces.

I bought the latest Marie Claire this it was still in my handbag when I took these photos. I love magazines and its rare that my bag doesn't have a magazine inside. I love to read while I'm on the bus or waiting for my classes to begin and Maire Claire magazine gives me quite a few hours of reading. I also have "Touch" a fragrance  by the Sugababes, which is the big silver bottle. I've had quite a few compliments from this perfume and I won it in a blog giveaway. It's not something I would have to considered buying but I really love the scent. The little pink bottle is "Polished Body Spray" by FCUK. This has a lovely warm scent and I wear it most of the time.

 This months Marie Claire came with some lovely Cowshed body lotion, which is currently in my handbag.

I got the magazine which had the "horny cow" body lotion and it smells divine. I applied this product about 5 hours ago and I can still smell it. Cowshed's horny cow has a gorgeous cinnamon and rose scent that fades nice and subtly into the skin. My skin feels noticeably softer too but this is only my first day, so I'll be wearing it a  lot more to see if it lasts.

The floral pattern in the background is my notebook. I always carry one of these in case I need to write notes in class or on the bus and I have the pen. My poor Ipod touch is there, lying on top with the crack in the screen. Unfortunately, it got crushed next to an old perfume bottle but I'm considering buying a new one soon. The sunglasses were £3.99 from Primark. I bought these the other day because they suited me and I couldn't resist them but I could do with the sun coming out soon so I can wear them! I also have a random nail polish that must have fallen out my cosmetics bag.

The essentials - Hairbrush, body shop lipstick and my well used No7 natural blush.

I also carry my phone but I've been using it to take these pictures because my camera has run out of batteries. 

Well that's it. Today I haven't been carrying much because I've only been working a few hours.

What item can you not leave home without?
