Day Trip to Paris

My dad lives just outside of Paris and we decided to visit him. We took the train, which took about fifteen minutes, because driving in Paris on a Saturday is not a smart idea. The first thing we did was hop on another train that took us to the Eiffel Tower. We had a quick lunch and then wandered around to see the tower when it started pouring with rain and hailstones. Naturally we hid under the tower for a few minutes until it stopped. Best umbrella ever! 

Once the rain had stopped, we walked to the Trocadéro area, taking a lot of photos on the way, when it started raining again so we stopped for a coffee at the Café le Malakoff. I had a cappuccino and Stefane had a hot chocolate. It was basically melted chocolate and you add steamed milk to it. It tasted amazingly rich and delicious. 

Next on the list was shopping, because you can't go to Paris without a stop in one of the Sephoras. So we made our way to the Champs Elysées and I surprised even myself by not buying anything in Sephora (although I did get a few bits in H&M). Then, after a day full of walking and feeling exhausted, we got the train home. One day is definitely not enough to see a lot of Paris but I think we did pretty well. 

Updated: What's in my bag?

Hi everyone,

Back in March I did a 'What's in my bag' blogpost and have decided to update it because I've changed my bag and have a lot more stuff that I carry around. I really love seeing/reading these kind of videos/blogposts, as I'm quite nosy and it also gives me ideas of essential things I should carry around.

I got this bag from Next. It's a really gorgeous stony beige colour and has polkadots on the inside. It also came with a polkadot black and white scarf attached to one of the handles but it fell off. My nan gave me a replacement polkadot scarf, but that one conveniently decided to fall off today too and I can't find it, although it's definitely in my room somewhere. It's a good size bag and fits all my essential bits and bobs.

In the main compartment: tissues, Impulse body spray, medicine bag, notebook, phone, purse, Tangle Teezer, camera

In the little side pocket: key and keychain, Vaseline lip balm

In the side zip up pocket: eye drops, Caudalie lip conditioner, Collection 2000 Cream Puff lip cream in Cotton Candy and a pen

In the middle pocket: hand sanitiser, hand cream, H&M passport cover, Accessorize card holder, H&M clothbrush

Let me know if you've done one of these posts, I'd love to see it!

What's in my bag?

Hi everyone! I've wanted to do this blogpost every since I got this bag, back in January, but never really got around to it. I saw this in Pronti, which is a shop that sells shoes and bags, and it had a sticker on it, saying it was 70% off, which made it 7,50€! My boyfriend's mum ended up buying it for me, because she's lovely. I'd really wanted a new bag, since mine were all handed down to me. I wanted one that wasn't too big, but big enough to fit all my essentials in, especially my camera. So this one was perfect!It's a lovely dark brown colour, probably not real leather, but it's still nice. It has a zip compartment inside the middle bit, and two little pockets at the front.

In the main compartment:

Guess purse;Harry Potter notebook;pen;Sephora blush brush;M&S lipbalm;Labello lipbalm;headphones;Marc Jacobs Daisy;bangle;sweets;Chanel blush;phone;card holder

I got this purse the day after I got paid, which means it's more expensive than it should be, and I probably didn't really need to spend so much on a purse. And a Guess purse! I don't even really like Guess. We went to a Guess store and looked around, and to be honest I found all of the stuff quite tacky. I'm not saying all Guess stuff is tacky, just in that store. Then when we were in a department store, I saw this purse, and I thought it was lovely. Then I looked inside and fell in love with it. Then I saw the price and mentally threw up. 55€ for a purse. EEK! But then I thought, why not treat myself a bit? I did need a new purse and it had a lot of room, for everything I needed. So I bought it and that's that.

My Chanel blush, which hasn't left my bag since I bought it, is perfect for touching up blush or just for the mirror! And I always have a few lipbalms with me, I got the left one from my nan, which was an absolute bargain, as she got it for 25p from M&S! It's a gorgeous peachy orange colour, that really moisturises my lips and also makes them a bit peachy coloured too. The other one is a Labello cherry flavoured lipbalm, but I'd describe it as a lipstain. It doesn't moisturise my lips as much as other Labellos do, but it leaves them red and tastes amazing!

In the zip compartment:

 keyrings;pencil;highlighter

I've mentioned this in a tag about me, I have a little collection of keyrings. I don't even know how it started. I just realised that I have one key and seven keyrings. Oops.

 In the two front pockets:

In the left pocket, I keep my medicine stuff, eye drops and starbalm, which helps with headaches, muscle pain and insect stings. In the right pocket, I keep hair stuff like clips and bands, and my cute contact lens case, just in case I need to take them out.

Other things I usually have in my bag include my glasses, my camera and hand cream.

 What are your essentials that you wouldn't leave the house without?
