What's In My Bag? [2016]

It's been a while since I did a "What's In My Bag" post – last time was way back in October 2015! So, I thought it was about time for another peek into what I carry every day. Today, I'm excited to show off my favorite bag for outings – you know, the one that goes with every outfit? Yeah, that's the one!

I've got a bunch of bags, but this one has become my go-to whenever I'm out and about. It's like my perfect match, always matching whatever I wear. I call it my 'going-out bag.' I love it so much, it's practically my baby.

So here it is! This is the Melody Backpack from Cotton On. I remember spending about 80 plus ringgit on it, which felt like a splurge for such a small bag. But let me tell you, the quality is really good, so it's totally worth it.

Even though it looks small, it surprises me with how much I can fit inside. I decided to switch to a smaller bag because, let's face it, lugging around a huge tote means carrying way more stuff than necessary. Who wants to deal with that heavy, arm-aching situation? Not me!

What I love about this bag is its shape – simple yet stylish – and it keeps its form really well. It's become my go-to companion for cute and casual outings. Plus, it helps me stay organized by making sure I only carry what I really need. No more dragging around unnecessary stuff – seriously!

Let's get into the main part: the big section! I keep all my essentials in there – my purse, makeup kit, allergy meds, and of course, my apartment keys.

Now, let's talk about the struggle of fitting my makeup kit into this 'huge' compartment. Honestly, it's a bit tricky because, let's admit it, I practically carry a whole beauty store in there LOL. Sometimes, I keep it simple and just grab what I really need: eye drops, my favorite MAC Velvet Teddy lipstick, and a handy compact powder. And that's about it!

Now, let's peek into the smaller front pocket. Inside, I keep my on-the-go perfume, some blotting papers, my boarding pass, my trusty ID card, and a few coins. Wondering why my ID isn't in my purse? It's because I just got back from Sabah to Shah Alam, so it's easier during airport checks this way!

There you have it! I really love these kinds of posts. They're just so much fun! If you've done one yourself, drop your link below – I'd love to see what's in your bag!
