What's in my handbag?

My handbag is always bursting to the brim with things that I don't even need in there, whether that's college work, old receipts, random bits of paperwork. So I've cleared out my bag of all the junk, and here are the essential things I keep in my bag on a day to day basis.

The handbag itself is from Matalan. Extravagant right? I like it because it's simple and goes with anything, that way I don't have to keep changing bags and switching all my stuff around. It's also the perfect size to fit my college books in. 

First the boring things. 

Always carry a notebook with me for those times when I come up with things to write about, or if I have some inspiration for a novel to write. This pretty little one is from Sainsburys. 
I'm currently studying the Wife of Bath in English Literature so I always carry that with me, don't really understand it but I'm sure I will eventually. 

Then there's my ancient Marvel pencil case that I have used for the past couple of years. Well lets just say it has seen better days.

Can't get enough of Elle magazine! I'm subscribed to it and I constantly look forward the next issue. Especially loved this months issue with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, she's so beautiful it's crazy! 

My Ted Baker make-up bag comes every where with me. I'm so pale so I'm constantly having to put powder on so people don't think I look ill. 

Hand cream and hand sanitizer never leave my side. I hate having dirty and rough hands so I'm always applying these. The hand cream is from Soap&Glory. *shocker* 

My purse is from Next, and is honestly one of my favourite things in my bag. It's in a pastel pink colour,and is very simplistic but also very pretty.

I always carry a little snack with me in my bag for those peckish moments. This week just happens to be skittles thanks to Mark as he got me addicted to them. I also like to keep food with me just in case I get stuck in traffic in my car and then I get hungry. It would be a crisis.

So that's what I carry round in my bag on a day to day basis. What do you carry in yours? Do you carry snacks too?
