What’s in my bag?

Ive seen a lot of people doing this type of thing lately, on youtube and on blogs, so i thought id show you what is in my bag! I don’t often use a bag when I’m out and about, as i only really bring my purse with me. However, when i do bring my bag with me, if I’m going out for the day, this is pretty much what’s inside… plus 20 old receipts and chewing gum wrappers, but i’ll pretend i keep my bag suuuper clean for the purposes of this post.

The bag i use is the one pictured above. I bought it from Urban Outfitters a few months ago and i absolutely love it, i believe it was roughly around the £60 mark. Its not too small, but its also not big either. The size is perfect for me as i don’t often carry a lot of things so it fits everything i need. It has a long silver chain so it can be worn either across the body, or on one shoulder, i like to switch it up. Im not a huge bag person, so when i buy a bag i usually stick with it for about a year or so before i get a new one. And this bag seems to be doing quite nicely!

Purse: Carvela Kurt Geiger

The one thing i ALWAYS have in my bag, is my purse. My purse if from ASOS, but the original brand is Kurt Geiger. Im in LOVE with this purse. It fits cash, cards and coins in it but is so sleek and small as well.

Sunglasses

Sunglasses are another must have in my bag, as i never know whether the sun is going to pop out. The tortoise shell shape looks great with anything I’m wearing and the pattern makes any outfit look classy, i adore them.

Phone & Headphones

These items are absolute necessities, i must always have my phone on me anytime, anywhere. And headphones, well, you never know when you might  want to block out the world and listen to your fav songs!

 

In my bag i also keep a smaller bag, this bag has the more boring things inside that are necessary on a day to day basis. The marble pattern bag itself is from primark, and holds basically everything inside it.

Extra Chewing Gum

You always need gum with you, ALWAYS.

Nurofen

I always make sure i have nurofen on me, as i tend to get a lot of headaches, so it really comes in handy!

Palmers Cocoa Butter Lip Balm

Now that its winter, and the days are much colder, my lips really need some TLC. I try to make sure i have lip balm in my bag, so that if my lips are getting chapped i can moisturise them and carry on with my day. I especially love this lip balm, as it smells AMAZING and really helps to hydrate my lips!

Hand Sanitiser: Bath and Body Works

Hand sanitiser is also a must in the colder months. The one i carry around with me is the pocket size from bath and body works, in the scent ‘Pumpkin Cranberry Cider’, which smells exactly like spiced cranberries and reminds me so much of christmas.

Hairbands

Everyone with long hair knows that you can’t go anywhere without hairbands! I have naturally curly hair so i HAVE to carry hairbands with me incase it rains, otherwise i turn into a complete frizzball.

The last things i like to keep inside my bag are make up bits.

Nars Concealer: Vanilla

This concealer has saved my life, literally. Its coverage is A-M-A-ZING. I always take a concealer with me in my bag just incase a blemish appears or i need to touch up my make-up, and this concealer is perfect.

A Spooly

Because i have eyelash extensions at the moment, i take this spooly with me incase any of my eyelashes need to be tamed.

Mac Lipstick ‘Velvet Teddy’

This is my all time favourite lipstick, so i also take it in my bag. The shade goes with absolutely any outfit or make up look, so its perfect for everyday use.

What are your necessities that you always have to take with you in your bag? Thanks for reading!

Fall Fashion Favourites

One of the biggest things i love about Autumn, is not only the colder weather and hot drinks, but the CLOTHES. I love clothes, so much. My wardrobe expands every single season, but in Autumn time i can’t seem to stop shopping. Layering is my favourite thing to do, especially at this time of year. My outfit choices are quite simple, and I’m not an ‘out there’ type of person when it comes to clothes, so i thought i would share with you THREE of my all time favourite outfits to wear this Autumn. As we are approaching Winter, and in England the temperature drops like craaazy, these outfits are perfect for this chilly time of year, but can also suit warmer climates. The sun is still shining, so sunglasses are necessary, but the temperature is so cold, warm clothes are NEEDED.

Stripe Trousers: New Look £19.99

These trousers are perfect for this time of year, with a simple plain top, they make any outfit look smart, yet super comfy. As the weather still has no idea what its doing, these are a must have, as they are light but long so they can keep you cool whilst covering you up incase the crisp breeze gets a little too much. I absolutely adore these trousers, they make any outfit look like a lot of effort has been put in!

Black roll neck: Topshop £25

This is a new purchase i made quite recently, but i am so in love with this top. Its quite thick, but cropped, so it matches with the trousers perfectly. The colour black goes with practically everything, so you are making no mistake when adding this to your autumnal wardrobe. Also, roll necks are SO in at the moment, and they give a little ‘class’ to any outfit.

Shoes: ‘Amberlight Light Gold’ Converse £59.99

Although on the pricey side, these shoes are perfect with this outfit. Adding a pop of rose gold colour to all the black, i personally think they are the coolest shoes i have ever owned. Plus, you can never go wrong with a pair of trainers!

Hoop earrings: New Look £5

I LOVE silver and gold jewellery in the Autumn. I feel like hoop earrings are also a must have for any woman or girl at this time of year, i never leave the house without my hoops in! They make every outfit look more put together and slightly more ‘feminine’.

Tan jumper: Topshop £36

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this jumper. It is a perfect staple for any wardrobe. I love all of Topshop’s sweaters and jumpers, but this one if by far one of my faves. The colour is so autumnal, and looks amazing with a pair of black jeans. Tan and beige are really in style this year, and i adore them. Its super simple, but paired with boots and sunnies, looks amazing.

Leopard print sunglasses: Urban Outfitters £5

These sunglasses are INCREDIBLE. The colour, the style, the pattern..EVERYTHING. Honestly, these sunglasses go with absolutely anything, and give every outfit a bit of ‘sass’. Also, the sun is still shining on the odd occasion, so pair some sunnies with a warm jumper and you are good to go!

Black chelsea boots: River Island £40

I bought these boots well over a year ago now, and i get SO much wear out of them. I feel like a classy pair of black ankle boots, never go a miss in Autumn and Winter. They literally go with anything, jeans, a dress, a skirt, whatever you fancy! Plus, they keep your feet so warm. This whole outfit is to die for, and definitely my all time favourite at this time of year.

Topshop ‘Ruthless’ nail polish £5

Another thing i have been absolutely loving this Autumn, is black nail polish. I feel like this colour makes any outfit look Autumnal, especially when its paired with a tan or beige jumper, really bringing out the Autumn vibezzz.

Grey jumper: Topshop £39

Oh look, ANOTHER Topshop jumper! Its safe to say, when Topshop bring out their winter jumpers i am the first to make a purchase. This jumper has gold zips down either side of it, and i LOOOVE it. Its super cosy and warm, and this colour goes with everything! Yet again, i love to pair this outfit with some gold or silver hoops, to really make it pop.

Black denim skirt: Urban Outfitters £35

Im not one to wear skirts, but as soon as i saw this i HAD to have it. For shorter girls like me, it is perfect! The length of the skirt isn’t too long so it actually doesnt come past my knees, but it happily sits below my bum, covering all the right areas. As its black, it goes with anything and everything. I can literally wear it with a colourful top, jumper, a stripe top, bodysuit, ANYTHING! Also, pairing it will a black belt gives it a more casual vibe but also makes any outfit look super preppy.

Nails Inc ‘Uptown’ nail polish: £15

As well as black polish, nude is definitely another one of my favourite shades of nail polish. This pinky nude is perfect to wear in the Autumn, as its not too bright but not too dark, and matches with any outfit, especially this one!

My FIRST blog post!

So, here it is, my first EVER blog post. I am so eager and excited to start blogging, and i can’t wait to start sharing my adventures and ideas on this page. Ive been pondering the thought of blogging for a while now, but never seemed to be able to persuade myself to start up a blog, but finally I’ve decided that now is the right time to do it!

As this is my first blog post, i thought i would let you know a little about me. My name is Zoe, evidently as you already probably guessed. I am 18 years old, and i currently live in Cornwall, that tiny little county at the very bottom of England. No i don’t surf, and pasties aren’t my favourite food, but i do LOVE the seaside. One perk of living in a small coastal area of Cornwall is that i have learnt to develop a love for photography. Taking pictures is a small passion of mine, whether its taking photo’s of my friends sipping on hot chocolate, or taking photos of distinct country landscapes, i LOVE it. Because of this, this blog will be mainly derived of photos from my day to day life, followed with beauty, fashion, travel and lifestyle posts. As well as my love of photography, i also love fashion. Hopefully you do to, as this is what my blog will be based around. I find expression through clothing and make up so interesting, i love how every unique individual has a different idea of beauty, and how each person will put together an outfit or make up look and make it represent themselves.

I don’t want to babble on for too long, as it is my first post, i wouldn’t want to bore anyone! If you are reading this, WELCOME to my blog, i hope you enjoy reading and please leave me a comment and let me know something about you!
