What's in my bag?

I've always wanted to do one of these posts because I always LOVE reading everyone else's!  So here's mine...


1. Post a picture of the bag, purse, handbag, pocketbook [whatever you call it] that you are carrying. Now, don't you even think about going back there to your closet and getting your very favorite one or that cute little vintage clutch that you carried the last time you went out...I want to see the purse that you carried today!

2. Tell us how much it cost. Oh my, I know what you are thinking - a proper lady would never discuss matters of money, darling. Well, yes, but today we are gonna break that rule and tell. Yes, tell how much it cost. We won't judge. This is for entertainment purposes only. And if there is a story that goes along with this purse, tell it.

This is the bag that I carry around most of the time just now.  It's from River Island and I think it cost about £36.99, something like that?  I love River Island bags.

This is what it's full of!  Let's have a closer look...

The evening after the night before...

Well last night was ok.  I spent ages getting ready and was really happy with how I looked.  I wore a little black skirt with small white hearts on it.  It is short and quite tight but has a little frilly bit just above the bum.  Maybe sounds weird but I promise it's nice!  I also wore a loose black top with black crystals stitched around the front tucked in to the skirt, with black tights and chunky boots with chunky heels, which were black with gold buckles & studs.  I was really happy with my make up.  I normally wear Benefit's Eye Bright on my water line which is a really light pink, almost white and really opens up my eyes.  Occasionally I will swap to Urban Decay's Electric 24/7 liner which is a turquoise colour, but that's generally as far as I go with eye liner.  But, the other day I bought a GOSH eye liner from Superdrug.  I think it's maybe called Dove Grey.  I still wore my Eye Bright on my water line but I went for the GOSH line on my top eye lid and I even attempted a sexy little flick!  Which I think was pretty successful.  On my hair I used a volumising mousse by Aussie, and blow dried it with a large round brush so it was nice and big.  Pinned my fringe to the sides and sprayed with Aussie hair spray.  It was the first time I used both those Aussie products and I must say I was impressed!


We went to Jamie's Italian, which is an Italian restaurant (duh?) on George Square in Glasgow.  Oh and it is owned by Jamie Oliver.  It was lovely but I don't think it was anything special and I wouldn't be back in a hurry.  After that we headed to The Corinthian which is a pub/club.  Looks lovely but was FULL of posers in suits.  Old sleazy guys and young sleazy guys that think they're something else.  Wasn't in there long.


Also yesterday, before I started to get ready I headed to Princes Street to see if I could find something new to wear.  I couldn't, but I popped in to Lush as I'd heard that none other than the best shower gel ever; Snow Fairy, was back out for Christmas, and the rumours were true :-D the Lush on Princes Street was actually having a Snow Fairy party, so all the staff were in pink and I was given a cup of pink Cherryade and a pink wafer!  I got a bit carried away and also picked up the Snow Fairy lip tint which is an amazing hot pink colour and of course has that beautiful Snow Fairy scent, which even my boyfriend loves!  I don't have to worry about him stealing my shower gel though.... due to the glitter! :)


Well, I'm away for now because I'm going to bed with a boyfriend and a tin of chocolates! ;) xx
