I don’t know about you, but I’m what you would probably describe as a little bit nosey. I love getting an insight into how other people live and it’s safe to say that people watching is one of my favourite hobbies. I think that’s probably why I love watching crappy reality tv shows so much!
I also quite like it when fancy flat lay pictures pop up on my Instagram or Pinterest feeds. You know the ones where people have randomly and casually taken a pic of important things in their life, like the contents of their handbag?
Well this one’s odd. There’s not a wallet in sight. How’s she meant to pay for anything? I’m guessing she just flashes her very clean hands as she struts out of the shop/restaurant/petrol station and she’s good to go? (photo source)
And how about this one below? Fabulous picture, but she must be some sort of handbag ninja. I mean, how the hell does she fit all of that stuff into that teeny tiny clutch?! Maybe she uses those clever plastic space bag thingys that travellers use? Or perhaps she wears the t-shirt and the heels? But where are her pants?! I’m so confused.

In keeping with this borderline obsession I may or may not have with fancy handbag flat lays, I thought I’d attempt to have a crack at one myself. So welcome to this week’s Friday Five. The What’s In Your Handbag edition, where there’s not a tube of hand sanitiser or spiked high heel in sight!
What’s In Your Handbag?
- A wallet. Carried only to ever pay for things like loaves of bread, litres of milk and other essential items such as nail polish and shoes!
- Clinique lipgloss which is my all time favourite lipgloss brand, closely followed by Chanel (exie, so I only own one tube and wear it on special occasions!) and a swarovski pen, a 40th birthday present from my gorgeous Aunty last year.
- A little K card holder from Typo. I keep my blog cards in there and hand out approximately 2.5 cards a year.
- A customs declaration form, which I picked up on Monday and am yet to fill out. Various family members quite often engage my services as their personal shopper and as a result, I have a rather large collection of baby clothes purchased from the US waiting patiently to be sent across the ditch to my cousin!
- Tiffany and Co. sunglasses. Got them in LA a few years ago but will stop with the details now because the label dropping is making me sound like a bit of a dick.
- Scarf from Target because layering is essential in Winter. It’s in my handbag because scarves make my neck look even stumpier than it already is, so I hardly ever wear it. Would rather be cold than look like a wrestler!
- A receipt from the glamourous task of grocery shopping.
- A bag of US coins that belong to Sophie. She wanted me to get them changed back into Australian currency, but the bank doesn’t do coins, so it looks like Soph’s stuck with a bag fill of pennies, dimes and quarters.
And that’s it! More of a Friday Eight than a Friday Five, but who’s counting?
Ok, over to you. Tell me, what’s in your handbag at the moment? Or maybe you’re a bloke who carries a manbag? Don’t be shy. Join in the convo and tell us what’s in it!
