It was kind of fortuitous that Guera tagged me to do this meme as I’d been meaning to show off my new handbag for a little while now.
A while back I mentioned that I wanted one of these bags and I did go ahead and get myself one for my birthday. I think it’s the most I’ve ever spent on an everyday bag. There was that time in London when I spent 130 pounds on an evening bag which, for me, is just absurd but then it was a very strange time in my life. It was around the time I got pregnant and I may have even been pregnant.
I’m like Guera in that I don’t have a gazillion handbags that I rotate all the time so the one bag I do use daily has to be very hard wearing and very functional.
Back to the meme. I’m supposed to show the contents of my handbag. All I left out was the snotty tissues and the tampons.
I’ve got a Coles/Myer voucher (a pressie from work), my sunnies case with my sunnies, mobile phone, earplugs, spectacles, Body Shop vanilla perfume, USB stick, stick-on tattoo, a box of dried fruit in case of emergency (my son’s stomach emergency that is) work’s access card, shopping lists and childcare bill, pens, green tea bag.
This closeup shows my lip balm – Carmex – the best lip balm ever, a couple of lipsticks and a lip pencil and my bus pass.
I try to keep my bag fairly uncluttered but it does also fit a bottle of water in it when needed.
I’m piking out by not passing this on, but please feel free to let us have a nosy in your handbag.

Have you entered my DVD givewaway? It closes on Monday night.
Thats alot of stuff your bag can hold, my wallet can only hold a few cards and thats it hahaha I cant carry cash because my wallet cant close so i use my credit card everywhere
Arfan, I was just talking about ‘manbags’ yesterday with a colleague. He was really against them and has the same type of problem as you but ‘manbags’ have improved a lot from 20 years ago and are a lot more – well – manly. Maybe that’s your answer!
Haha Jen I doubt I have the balls to carry a ‘ManBag’ I would probably be categorized in the Gay Section if I carry one lol
Oh my gosh! I want to play! This is – seriously – the coolest meme I’ve ever seen.
And I ADORE your bag. So what’s really, really weird is that I just dumped the contents of my purse onto the floor looking for my keys. I’m totally going to take a pic and send it to you on Twitter.
XOXO
Ms Single Mama, please do play. I can’t wait!
I had to dump my handbag out twice in one week. Once in the back of my fiancé’s truck because I lost his keys (someone turned them in at lost and found where I was shopping, thank goodness), and a few days later at a tennis court because, again, I couldn’t find my keys. That time they were just shoved in the wrong section of my purse. This reminded me of that week of losing things, left and right.
