A Blogger Cliche
Next month I will have been blogging for 3 whole years..doesn’t time fly? Now, I remember when I started the blog there were certain conventional posts that popped up everywhere, and “What’s in My Bag” was definitely one of them – how many of you have one of these posts in your archives?! I see you nodding!
I posted my first over two years ago (I still use that pink hairbrush..) and was reminded of them recently when Susie posted her competition, so thought I’d do another (there is something about being home in Somerset that makes me want to “kick it old school”…roll on summer holidays!). Anyway, what better way to introduce you to my new favourite bag? Without further ado:
My bicycle tote was a gift (thank you thank you thank you!) from One Language. I’ve always professed a love for canvas totes, and this bag is the mother of all canvas totes..it’s huge! But until I have the time for summer picnics and outings, all that resides inside it are as follows:
1. My snazzy new sunnies – the first pair I’ve owned in years – but more on them soon ; )
2. A Marc by Marc Jacobs purse that I won a couple of years ago, still going strong!
3. My pencil case from Artbox, containing all manner of cute stationary, including the pictured Hello Kitty pen. Necessary for sketchbooking, unfortunately..
4. My Frankie diary – I’ve got past not ruining her pretty pages now..I have far too much on my to-do list to be too precious!
5. Technology! My phone with a pink polka-dot Cath Kidston cover, my clunky camera, and my old iPod that I use to listen to music so my phone doesn’t run out of battery…not very glamourous..
6. Essentials – Carmex lip balm, a miniature perfume (miss Dior Cherie is today’s pick!) and a pile of grips for emergency hair situations.
Needless to say, I could probably fit a spare outfit or two and my shopping in this Mary Poppins bag too..! I hope you had a lovely Easter – see you soon x
Awh I still love reading “What’s in my bag” posts as much as I did when I first started blogging, and yours was no exception- your bag is beautiful, the perfect tote
x x
Haha, gotta love the “what’s in my bag” posts! That tote bag is really lovely, and those sunnies are smokin’ x
Ah, I want a One Language bag so badly – I love the size, shape, and various designs!
And yes, I have a “What’s in my bag” post! :p
I love One Language ! And it’s comforting to know i’m not the only one still using the old ipod !
Loving the shades by the way, where are they from ? XX
This post is lovely and I love that you carry around your Frankie Diary, I am so used to technology I just make notes in my phone and my Diary is going unloved!
Everything you have in your bag is so dainty, organized and cute. That tote is absolutely adorable and that MJ purse is just pure love. And how beautiful is that shade of blue of your journal. LOVE IT!
A “what’s in my bag” post is always very welcome Carrie, especially if the bag is as pretty as yours
Look forward to see you wearing those gorgeous cat eye sunnies!
Enjoy the bank holiday!

hehe no matter how many times i see a ‘whats in your bag’ post i always find them interesting!
really cute pencil case & sunglasses ahh!
lovely post. i always love whats in my bag posts actually. they never get old. i absolutely adore the tote bag and that pencil case.
The way you presented all your bag’s contents is like an artwork in itself! I especially love the decorative pencil case
WOW! Three years of blogging, Congratulations. I’m only into my second month of blogging. It’s so much fun, so I can understand how you could be still doing it for so long. I love your bag, it’s so cute, and I love that it’s so big.

Congrats on this little anniversary!
I like the fact that all those cute things in your bag are not-brand new – when I see someone carrying the latest model of super-duper-cellphone without a single scratch it gives me a feeling that it’s still the property of the shop where it was purchased.)) The longer you own a thing, the more you love it and the more “you-like” (OMG, is there such an odd word in English or have I just invented it?) it becomes.
…and the sunglasses are to die for.))
I am still totally in love with your diary months after you posted about it!
With pretty pictures like that, a “what’s in my bag” post is always welcome and appreciated !
Aw I love your Frankie diary, so cute! And the Carmex lipbalm – what a classic! xxx
magic bags are the best!!!! That lining is just tooooo cute! I love these “what’s in my bag” posts!!
Love your bag! Yours is so neat and tidy… I’m afraid the bottom of all my bags is covered in tissues, receipts and pencil sharpenings – not very glamourous! xx
Such a lovely post. I really like that pencil case, it is time I got myself a new one..! Have a lovely day.
That bag is gorgeous
I love the inside lining!

I love those post. Never did one myself but I really think I’ll soon do one
xx
AAAH lovely post! When I did mine I drew all the bits and bobs in my bag hahaha! Have to stand out someway right?

3 YEARS!? Wow that’s a long time, I haven’t done a What’s in my Bag post for a looong time but I’ll have to do one soon! I love your diary that’s adorable, I always carry my filofax around with me xoxo
such a lovely bag and how I wish I had the Frankie diary!
sweet blog. glad to have found it. you have great taste.
gorgeous tote. bicycle motifs never cease to be lovely. I was just woundering, what lens do you have on your canon? I have an 50mm 1.8 which i love and is permanently attached to my camera, but am looking for something to complement it with. Could you recommend something? thanks. p.s. i love the polaroids in the background
I love posts like that! Keep posting more xxx
wow i thought the bag was cute on its own, then you showed the picture of the inside – the lining is adorable! love it!
the more I see of that bag the more I think I need it!
lovely precious things you carry inside, I adore how girly you are. I long for the days when I went inside public bathrooms to check my hair : ) it’s too bad I don’t have any anymore.
ok Happy Easter!
I still love these posts. The bag is lovely, especially the lining!
I LOVE your bicycle tote.
I love how big and beautiful that bag is!
However cliché these posts may look, I always enjoy looking at all these cute things people are carrying in their bags! I’m in love with your pencil case! Oh, and with the bag as well
xx
Such cute cute stuff!
love your tote! cant believe you have blogged for 3 yrs! i have only blogged for 3 months and it feels like much longer!

Think I have the same sunnies. Won the on Winnie’s blog competition a couple of weeks ago. Love them but not 100% sure they suit my face shape. Looking forward to seeing how you wear yours! xx
I love your pencil case! I love posts like this because i’m so nosy
xx
aaah i never figured you’d be an iphone-person haha
love your stuff, it’s all so pretty
AAAAAAAAAhh… I just love these posts, it’s like getting to know you better. That bag is utterly beautiful, what a pity, they’re quite expensive.
I’ve just found your blog and I’ve completely fallen in love with it! All of your posts are just so lovely.
Oh, and I love those sunglasses!
xx
That bicycle tote is so adorable!
The inside of that bag is sooo beautiful!
Thought it was time to start a style blog as well!
My film blog (www.themovieness.com) is turning 3 as well
hehe I have been meaning to do a post like this for ages but never find the occasion! Your bag is adorable and so are your belongings! I want a iPhone so badly…..
great bag and i love your sunnies
tell me what you think of everyday likes @
http://pinklemonincrystal.blogspot.com
I still have yet to do one of these! Makes me want to do one when i relaunch my site.
Crushing on those sunnies so bad, I have a collection of cat-eye sunglasses and these would fit in so well! Also I am super jealous of your Frankie diary, they sold out everywhere so fast that I didn’t get a chance to order one.

I love posts like that and I love that lovely bicycle tote too.
This is the most amazing bag I have ever seen!!
That’s such a cute bag! I love seeing your pencil case (totally reminded me of my year abroad in France, when every student had one!).
an amazing thing
I like the similar bags
I love that diary, so pretty

Really like the diary, so cute. And the pencil case of course!
I just wanted to tell you that I also have the Frankie planner, and it sat on my coffee table completely unscathed for about 3 months because I didn’t want to write it in!!
But, then I got over it, and now use it on a regular basis…but only with a black fine-tip pen and in my BEST handwriting….tee hee….
Love the bag! Love the blog. Just came across your site via gnomeangel. What a nice discovery for the day
what a lovely bag!!! And what lovely things inside! love love love it all xx
that tote would be so perfect for uni because its cute plus it fits a laptops and some (cumbersome) text books. it’s going on my wish list ASAP!
It migth be a cliché, but I still like this kind of posts!
I adore your bag by the way!
Where do you buy this bag?
I love these posts.. I’m a bit nosy and love to see how other people organise their belongings!
I found a tiny toy skull (?) and cinema ticket from 2008 in a bag the other day- I don’t really have practical items :S
I really love posts like that and the pics are lovely, too. Love the bag, the lining and the funky sunnies! Wow!
Actually, even though I was on my way too many times to count, I never ended up doing a what’s-in-my-bag-post. My bags are like black holes, endless use of space. Every time I shop for bags my major criteria is whether my camera would fit in it in a safe way, so quite funny to see how your camera travels sometimes
Love the idea ! I never thought of doing a post on what I have in my bag ! I might do that sometime soon <3
Looooovely camera,deary ! Love it ! Oh,and I have the same Carmex balm , and I have to say that it is the perfect balm ! It does miracles !!

What a cute bag, I love bicycle prints! Even the lining looks super
Artbox is the perfect place for a stationery fix, much cheaper than Paperchase!

I love your accessories, that is so funky
I love the bag with the bike on it
