What's in My University Bag?

Hey guys! So, as you can see from the title this is going to be a 'What's In My Bag?' University Edition. 

My going out / non-Uni bag isn't too different from this with a few exceptions, but I will at some point probably do a post on that as well. Anyway, enjoy!

River Island Bag - £25.00

So, this is the bag that I will be using for University for now. It's from River Island and I got it as a Christmas present, as I chose it however, I know it was purchased for £25.00! 

What I really like about this bag is it's simple, classic design. I really like plain, black bags just because they pretty much go with anything. It's also surprisingly big so I can fit everything I need to in it easily which is important for me. I love shoulder bags as I find them the most comfortable to wear and I like the additional chain detail on this one.

CASTELLI 2015 Diary, WHSmith - £9.95

The first two things I'll be keeping in my bag are my diary and pencil case. I was looking around for a good, quality 2015 diary which had all the dates laid out within it and I found this one whilst in WHSmith. It has everything I need with room for notes under each date as well a whole page to jot stuff down. It also has a calendar within it, as well as other useful information!

 Second is my pencil case which I also received as a Christmas present. This is a Cath Kidston pencil case and is only the start of many other CK things you'll be seeing in my bag...

Vera Wang Princess - £39.50
Cath Kidston Makeup Bag - £12.00

Next off, I have a perfume and my makeup bag. The perfume is Vera Wang's Princess and it's one of my all time favourites. I keep this in my bag because it's such a cute, petite size and so it fits perfectly. It's handy for days when I perhaps have forgotten to put any perfume on or when I need freshen up! I got this in a recent haul from Debenhams for just £20 as part of a gift set!

Yeah, so I wasn't kidding when I said you'll be seeing more Cath Kidston in my bag - I'm pretty obsessed with the brand. This is my makeup / essentials bag that I carry all sorts of things in. I'll probably do a post about just what exactly is in it so stay tuned for that!

Pukka Pad 200 Page - £8.29
Cath Kidston Notebook (Part of a set) - £10.00

Of course, at University you take a lot of notes so a notepad is a necessity. I recently bought this massive Pukka Pad from Tesco and I really like it particularly because it has dividers in it as well as slots for spare bits of paper. This means I can keep myself organised which is something I love to be!

And what do we have here? Oh.. another Cath Kidston product. This is just a cute little notebook I bring with me for any Uni related notes I need to make; whether it be on assignments or things to remember!

River Island Purse - Old!
Cath Kidston Lanyard - £3.00
Cath Kidston Key Fob - £4.50
Cath Kidston Bus Pass Holder - £6.00

In my bag I also carry this super old wallet that I got a while back from River Island. It's just a purple purse with hearts stitched in it as well as some studding. It's a great size for carrying what I need with room for change, too!

I also have my bus pass and keys - the bus pass case and lanyard are both (shockingly) Cath Kidston purchased from Selfridges! I also have a cute little key fob from her and probably my favourite ever key chain: a little Thor's hammer!

Beats Solo HD's - £170.00

Bus journeys are long and I need something to wake me up in the morning. That's where music comes in and of course with that, comes headphones. I'd been debating over Beats for a long time and finally last year, I got some! I absolutely love them but don't wear them enough for the price so I've decided to make sure I always bring them with me so I will!

iPod Nano 4th Generation
Forever21 Compact Mirror - £3.00
Lint Brush - £4.09

Now we're getting into the last few things I keep in my bag... I firstly of course have my iPod to go with my headphones this is just the 4th or 5th generation Nano. I have had this for years and I've kept in mint condition. For me, it was the perfect size and I will be using it for many more years to come until it gives up on me!

I also carry a mirror because you know, I can be a little vain and like to check my makeup and hair now and then! I also carry a little lint roller just because I have animals and animals mean fur on my clothes!

Gloves - £7.00

And that brings us to the final item in my bag which are these cute, knitted gloves from Forever21. It's cold in the UK - need I say more?

That's everything in my bag - thanks for reading!

What's in my bag?

Hey! So today I thought I would do something a little bit different. I don't know what it is but I love what's in my bag posts and videos and I am always looking at them. Therefore, I thought it was time I joined in and did one myself! Let's get started..

So, first off this is my bag. It is a tan coloured messenger bag from River Island. It's a medium sized bag and has a zip all around it that allows for a little more space if needed. I love this bag and the colour especially - it goes with basically everything. I accessorised the bag a little I guess you could say by adding some badges of my favourite bands. Now - what's inside?!

So, the first thing in my bag is my make up bag. This bag is from Cath Kidston, it so pretty and I love the design. I just carry in it things to touch up my makeup with! I bought this from Asos.

I also have my purse in my bag. I got this as a gift but I know that it is from River Island. It has loads of card slots and compartments and I love the design of this purse. It also has a pull out strap so that it can be used as a clutch!

Next off I have my glasses. I got this cute black rose case from eBay and my glasses are from Optical Express. They are Dolce and Gabbana frames and of course prescription lenses.

Also in my bag I have my umbrella. I love this umbrella so much, it is polka dotted which is also a winner for me and I think it looks really retro too. This is from Cath Kidston and was bought from Asos.

My iPod is something I always carry around with me. I love this thing and considering commuting to Uni means buses everyday - this is going to be with me daily!

I also carry with me hand cream and hand sanitize. Germs are everywhere and it also good to have clean hands so that's why I have my Soap and Glory Hand Maid with me. I also sometimes get quite dry and sensitive hands which is why I carry with me this mini Cath Kidston hand cream.

I have this little rose shaped contact mirror which is also a brush. This comes in handy if i wanna put my hair up or need a mirror to touch up!

In my bag I also carry this cute little tin with me. It used to have mints in it and now I just use it to carry some aspirin and stuff in as I tend to get headaches.

I think there's a certain brand trend in my bag because I have yet another Cath Kidston product in it! This time, I have cute little floral bus ticket holder.

I also have this Simple body spray which doesn't really need much explaining! It's in the scent True Love.

Finally, I have this super cute USB in my bag. I will be using this for Uni work when I start in a week or so and I absolutely love it. I am a massive Batman fan so this is not only useful, but pretty cool too!

There you have it! That is what I currently have in my bag. I hope you liked this post and found it interesting to have a little peek into what I keep in my bag! If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them down below as i LOVE to hear from you!
