Superficial Sydney: What's in my Purse/Handbag?

In short? A bunch of sh*t.......

Please don't judge me, ordinarily I am a very well organised person... My handbag however NEVER reflects this, I could reorganise it every day and by the end it will always look like this. I can't help it, ok?

My Purse/Hangbag - Louis Vuitton Monogram Speedy 35

My first ever "designer" handbag purchase I have swapped out my bag maybe 4-5 times in the past 8 months since purchasing. I really love this bag and suits me so well - just chuck and cram as much stuff in the big opening as possible haha. I find the canvas exterior very forgiving and easy to clean (I use the baby wipe method). The only downside is it really lacks any "built-in" organisation, there is one small pouch on the inside which would fit keys, a debit card and a lipstick. I would LOVE one in every colour!

Wallet - Yves Saint Laurent Y Mail in Patent Leather

I'm not sure if this is still available, I know it was definitely a limited release in Australia. I am so proud of this thing - I can't express. My first "big girl" purchase it is almost 2 years old already! I love, love, love that the front is adorned with YSL's address in Paris, just perfect. The quality is exquisite, just like everything else from YSL. I have been contemplating buying a new wallet, just because I really want to hold on to this forever and I am very hard on my things... I don't want to eventually destroy it from too much use!

Clutch - Louis Vuitton Mini Pochette Accessoires Illustre

Again, I'm not sure if you can still purchase this. I bought it just before Christmas so there is a good chance it is still available. The pink leather and cute little illustration from LV's original advertising artworks make me so happy. As you can see it fits just the right amount - keys, lip products, hand cream (mini) and it usually holds my iPhone, train ticket and debit card too. I love having all my regularly reached for things in one place, this way I can also just grab it and go.

Sunglasses - Tom Ford Rickie TF 179 57F

No longer available in this shade. So beautiful I feel amazing and "stylish" whenever I wear these. The strong metal frame with Tom Ford's signature cross over bridge is a perfect mixture between style and practicality. if, like me, you are a fan of the Whitney which is a favourite of countless celebrities but you feel size/shape is a little overwhelming please give the Rickie a try - they are suttler and more flattering to different face shapes.

Amazon Kindle KeyBoard 3G in White and Leather cover with light

Christmas gift from my lovely boyfriend, although I miss the nostalgia of a "proper" book I do enjoy it. Follow me on Goodreads to see what I'm currently reading!

Chanel Makeup Bag - Gift with purchase

Way too small for my needs and terrible quality, I know it's only a GWP but come on... It's still Chanel.

Keep an eye out for tomorrow's post for what I keep inside.

Headphones - Beats by Dr Dre Diddybeats - Powder Pink

After years of struggling with sh*tty headphones I finally have a decent pair. I have no idea about the technical aspects of headphones in general and what makes one pair better then the other so I will just say this - I feel like one of the cool kids when i wear them, haha.

Model Mirror - "Good as Gold"

I've used the lights maybe once of twice for novelty sake when i first got it, so i'm not sure of the practicality of that... I like that it has a normal mirror and a magnify mirror. The design is very sleek.

Digital Camera/Case - SONY Cybershot DSC-W570 - Miamica Embroided Case

I generally like to keep my camera with me most of the time, no idea why - I don't have anything interesting going on 80% of the time. I like this camera, easy to use etc. No idea about quality etc.

How freaking cute is this case? I love everything Miamica make and I own a LOT of it. I think I'll do a separate post on this. Check out the website http://www.miamica.com/

Beauty product's I must have easily accessible at all times:

1. Handcream - The BodyShop Hemp Hand Protector is what i'm using at the moment, I do like it however i'm not very loyal to any one hand cream... I grab whichever and go really. As long as it's non-greasy and super moisturising.

2. Hand Sanitiser - Any will do, I would love to try some of the cute Bath & Body Works scents. Unfortunately they aren't available in Australia. It's actually REALLY hard to find any nice scented hand sanitisers here. I'm currently using the Dettol Moisutising with aloe & chamomile - but I don't see the moisturising benefits at all.

3. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream - Sheer brilliance in a tube. This stuff can be used as a lip balm, applied to ANY part of the skin to protect, soothe and moisturize, slather on burns, scrapes and abrasions and watch its anti-inflammatory benefits go to work. I absolutely love it. At the moment I've been using it on my lips a few times a day, around the sides of my nose (major cold/flu germs happening in Sydney right now - I'm blowing my nose constantly) and finally on the back of my heels - this stuff is amazing for preventing blisters.

4. Deodorant - Must be Lady Speed Stick Invisible kind. Good and reliable. Smell is nice too.
