whats in my bag

Whats in my bag?

we will start from left to right shall we?
my mullberry bag. i will never in my entire life want another purse, my aunty bought me this purse for my 18th birthday along with my mulberry bag, but the bag has an akward handle so i dont like to carry it much but its so nice. I love the purse so much, it smells so nice everytime i open it ahah mm leather!
My IPad. this is the best purchase i have ever done. I bought it using all of my birthday money when i was 17. and i love it take it out with me everywhere! when my ipods flat i even use this as my ipod for the day hehe. seriously recommend the IPad to anyone. i love it.
The paper is just my assesment sheet from thursday. thought id add it to whats in my bag, because...it was in my bag.
Chewing gums, i'd had a sandwich with onion on and its not the nicest thing to go and meet your boyfriend after so i ran in the shop and got some haha.
college pass, photo is awful, was taken after a day of my friends parents being away and had a house party. rough as.
my house keys, with a photo of my beautiful niece on it.
Keri Smith book. these books are so inpirational. i love them. mess, this is not a book, wreck this journal and how to be an explorer of the world. each of her books ask you to be different, like chew on the page. or look at the ground beneath your feet and write down what you see. make sure i have one of her books in my bag when i leave the house.

Memory card, used this so much this week. left it in college and nearly cried abit when i thought id lost it.
3 photos i have in my purse and carry with me everyday. One of my gradma as a child (the photo you can see), one of my granddad when he was in his 20's pulling a funny face and one of my grandma and granddad together on their first date infront of blackpool tower. these two people mean so much to me and they come everywhere with me. i phone them everyday to check on them. i love my grandparents.
niveva cream
mac blush, which i spent alot on and then dropped and it smashed so i only have a tiny bit left as gradually all the bits have fallen out.
dior mascara, best mascara ive ever used. recommend.
dry shampoo because i slept out lastnight and didnt feel like walking home with greasy hair, so good this stuff.

keri smith- how to be an explorer of the world.

the three photos of my grandparents.

got this bag given to me, its been a life saver the past few days.

vintage coat- ryan vintage manchester - £20

Been so long since ive blogged again, im so sorry! not lost any followers though so thankyou. been so busy, and getting pretty drunk everyweekend which has made my work slack alot, so ive been trying to catch up on all my sketchbooks. got assesed yesterday, did pretty well considering i did most of it in the past 3 days.
thought id treat myself to a few things from the charity shop, the top 4 items are from yesterday the coat is from a few weeks ago in manchester.
i love this cardigan, it was in the mens section of oxfam. smells abit like cigs aswell but nothing a wash wont get rid off! been wearing it all day today it looks so cute! wore it with my DIY peter pan collar top i made (might make a tutorial sometime) and my jeans and my red boating shoes.

Which is my next item im going to talk about. these are so cute im a size 7 feet. these are a size 8 so they flip off a little but i can still walk in them and love them so im not scured. ahahah! new little saying i have. sorry. ahaha. i write as if im talking to you all. need to sort it.

my black boots are so cute! i had a pair like this from peacocks last year but they are now ruined. i was in my 3d class and stood on a craft knife and thankfully it didnt slice my foot open but it did slice my boot. gutted i was but yesterday i found these cheeky monkeys ahaha! bought them, although they are a size 6, they're abit tight but ill make them fit. 

just bought this cute little jumper with flowers on, it will do for college.
my addidas bag, my auntie gave me a few things in this bag, but i liked the bag more than the things. so ive been using it to take all my sketchbooks to college. actually got a few compliments on it. ahaha i think they are only like £3. but its such a good simple bag. i love it. must invest in some more shopper bags.

this coat, fell in love as soon as i saw it, was supposed to spend the £20 on some food shopping for home, because im on a diet where i buy my own teas like weightwatcher meals. but i just had to have this coat instead of them! best buy ever. if you live in manchester go to ryan vintage its amazing! also abit furthur up is the £3 and under shop. amazinggggg shops.

i bought this cheeky little quilted jacket from the charity shop on the way to the market for £2.99 im in love with quilted stuff at the minute. just bought a green one like this from international for £14.99, it makes me look like a farmer but i really wanted one with the patches on. was so excited when i found this on the rail.

my aunty gave me this scarf this afternoon, yes its real! shes kind of loaded. im in love with it so much but its one of those things when people dont expect you to have something so you dont want to wear it incase people think its fake haha. got a bag to match this a few weeks ago too.

bought this scarf off the market for 50p. its so pretty. i doubt its going to keep me very warm, but hey it looks nice.

i also love this one i bought for 50p. its different animal prints. some shinny some not. eee im so in love.

my favourite buy of the day.

this huge coat. its such a nice material i cant even explain. its from the company 'mandarina and duck' its so big on me but i lovvvvve it! its not one of those raincoats what you sweat your back out wearing either. i cant wait to wear it to college, its going to be like heaven in this horrible weather were having at the moment.

my pocahontas shoes! i bought these a few weeks ago from ebay! i dont think ive taken them off yet. ive been caught in the rain a few times in them so there abit worn already. im going through a stage at the minute where i just wear one pair of shoes at a time and nothing else, not even slippers. these are the shoes ive been wearing constantly. had so many lovely comments too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so glad i found the good in goodbye

     i am so sorry ive not bloged in forver. i totally forgot i had one. before i went on holiday i was on it everyday and now i think its been nearly a month since i blogged! aaaaaah malta has made me crazy. i hope your all expecting a hugehuge post, because its coming your way right now.
ill start with malta. its the most beautiful place ive ever been, we flew on a private plane, just before people go on or think im up my own arse, im not. my auntie married a footballer and he happens to play for manchester united. he's the reason for the holiday, it was a testimonial dinner. anyhew so the plane and the flight altogether was amazing! we landed about 4am and about an hour in a coach and watched the sun rise and all the buildings looked like aladdin was about to walk out of them, everything is just made to perfection. the hotel was mind blowing. i know im going on as if ive never been on holiday, ive been to some nice places in my life but this holiday was just amazing! we ended up not going to sleep staying awake the whole day and the beach for a bbq that night, then the next night was the testimonial dinner, where the primeminster of malta was there, it was on a roof of a castle it was just so amazing! then on the last day snoop dog walks into the hotel reception and i nearly died. i can not get over how good it was.

 me, david beckhams dad (ted), mother

i have a boyfriend too now,.
weeks and weeks ago i was in manchester in urbanoutfitters looking at the books because theyre always so interesting, and i picked up one by keri smith.... wreck this journal its called and its a little journal that has things to do on every page and its to make you abit more reckless and ive got a thing at the moment where i want to look at things totally different and this book might help me do this. anyway its £8.99 and i didnt have enough (im poor okay?) so i look on ebay and i find 3 of her books for £21 so ive ordered them, my mum obviously buying me them hahaa and im waiting fot them to come but im going to show you all like each week what ive done in them. im so excited i feel like its christmas. please look at her books and if anyone has other people like her to reccomend or even art work like that or anything please tell me im in love.
