‘But what if it-’ ‘Just in case I-’ Trust me whatever it is, I’ve probably already thought about it.
Every item has earned its place in my bag, and they’re not chilling there for no reason - forget the fluff, let’s unbag the toolkit to handling curveballs and keeping it cute - while staying totally functional.
What’s actually in my bag:
Weather or Not
(For When Life Gets Unexpected)
Life is full of twists and turns, especially when it comes to things like the weather or a bargain find. When it rains, it pours, no one wants to be stuck in a sticky situation, and the best things in life come when you least expect them - like a shopping spree… or three.
These items are the lifeline to keep you rolling with whatever punches come your way, without missing a beat; think of it as the emergency kit for natural disasters (because shopping is natural and runs in our blood, right?).
Stay Prepared:
Mini Umbrella
When the sky crashes out, don’t let it rain on your parade.
Wet Wipes
Let’s be real, when has a napkin ever been enough?
Foldable Tote Bag
Mary Poppins’ bag is yet to hit stores, but this alternative is almost better (Light, compact, but can hold almost anything? Genius.)
Strike & Pose
(For Staying Picture Perfect)
In a big, blue, technological world where moments can be captured in an instant, looking put together can make all the difference between an Insta-worthy snap & an unflattering flop! Stay put together, keep the cool factor on high, and prevent your self-esteem from taking a plummet.
These are the confidence boosters and feel-good spritz you need to stay camera-ready and strutting in style, no matter the time or place.
Finishing Touches:
Sunglasses
Protect your eyes & snazz up your glam instantly? Talk about 2-in-1.
Mini Perfume
Scents are a game-changer for lifting the mood! Smell good, feel good.
Claw Clip
Never let a breeze mess with your look + looks cute in your hair and on your bag!
Quick! Freshen Up
(For Staying Pretty & Polished)
When you're flustered, frazzled, or feeling overwhelmed, hit refresh! There’s always time for a little moment of self-care, no matter how packed your itinerary looks - keep that pout fresh, those hands soft, and fingers germ-free so you don't end the day feeling… icky.
These are the saving grace and moment of silence for the early night we wish we had, coffee we didn’t finish, and Vitamin C shot we forgot to take this morning.
Press Refresh:
Hand Sanitiser
Hygiene is everything - because who has time to play sick?
Hand Cream
The sensory pleasure of massaging a soothing cream into your hands >>
Lip Balm or Pencil
Makes all the difference to help you look and feel put together! Your lipstick champions and liner saviours are a must.
Plug It In & Keep It Together
(For Staying Connected & Collected)
With all the hustle and bustle in city life, the least we can do is befriend organisation to give us a hand! The key to preventing emotional overload and busy-girl burnout is having a little law and order where it counts: your phone battery on full, containing the chaos and helping the day run smoothly.
These are the tiny but mighty treasures that help you stay charged without being overstimulated and ready without the mild panic when you can't find your lucky hair tie.
Emotional Glue:
Portable Charger or Cord
The backup battery on your tireless day out will be exactly what you need when you’re stranded and on 2%.
Airpods with a Cute Case
The cute case is optional, but highly recommended, and the airpods are great for blocking out the city noise and staying focused.
Trinket Tin
Hair ties, safety pins, mints.. They’re all in the bag, so let's group it together!
Keychain Accessories
Because when has a cute keychain ever hurt anyone?
What's in your bag should be more than that empty wrapper from last week, but less than that backpack you took with you to your first day of school. Stay prepared, but don’t let life or extra baggage weigh you down! It’s all about bringing what you need so you can carry in confidence - literally.
Just the essentials, Beauties x
