The bag itself is from River Island and was £45, I love River Island bags as they are really good quality at an affordable price. They're usually made from durable material and don't tend to break or scratch easily. I picked this bag as the colours will go with any outfit, I also wanted a bag with a structured shape as I think they look slightly smarter than a slouched bag. This bag has a different design on each side, so depending on my outfit, I can switch sides. It also comes with a long adjustable strap which is handy when shopping or walking a long distance with my bag.
It's got 2 large pockets either side that are handy to throw things in, it's also really handy to keep my paperwork for work in. Inside the main section there's the usual little zip pockets and 2 pouches, so there's plenty of places to keep things.
In the pocket of the side that I usually have on show, I just keep a lipbalm, some chewing gum and my phone.
In the main pocket I keep the majority of things that I use day to day. My purse, diary, a notebook for anything from blog ideas to things I need to remember for work, hand cream, plasters, pain relief, indigestion tablets, eye drops, tissues and my EOS lip balm. I also usually keep my keys in the main section.
In the pocket shown in the first picture, I just keep the long strap for my bag so it's easy to find if I want to pop it on. After writing this post I feel like I keep hardly anything in my bag, but since having my car I keep all kinds of junk in there so it's reduced what's in my bag - not a bad thing I guess!
