Most people would be on leave today as it’s another public holiday tomorrow for us here in Malaysia. So I thought why not blog about something light. I think most of you are not in the mood to read long product review :D. Hope there’s no Monday blue for those that are working today.

I’ve been wanting to do a “What’s In My Bag” for so long now but didn’t get a chance to because (1) my bag is small, old and dirty, (2) there’s a lot of junk in my small bag and (3) there’s nothing interesting in the bag but junk. LOL! Ever since I got myself a proper bag as a birthday gift to well…myself, I have then rearranged the content of my bag. Now is the right time to show you my not-so-interesting edition of What’s In My Bag ;). I refer this post as Version 1 because who knows maybe I’ll do another one and another one in the future?

My current bag is Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Multi-Function Tote in Medium size which I bought just early October 2013. The reason why I choose this bag is because of the quality and spaciousness in the tote as I need a bigger bag to bring to work. I am dealing with digital sales so most of the time I’m out and about with a MacBook Air, iPad and of course my planner which I can’t live without. I don’t plan to put weight in the bag with the MacBook Air (wouldn’t want to break my new bag lol) but I think I can live with iPad in it.

I like to keep my things tidy in a bag so I have only 4 main items – Michael Kors pouch, Dior pouch, Brigitte Bardot Lancel pouch and Marc By Marc Jacobs wallet

At the beginning I had a Clarins bag organizer in the bag. All was good until last Saturday where my shoulder was aching from the weight. I know it wasn’t the bag organizer that was contributing the weight but there is nothing that I can eliminate from the bag so I decided to ditch the bag organizer since there’s nothing much in it anyway and just store the bits and pieces in Estée Lauder by Michael Kors Pouch in Pewter. Honestly I’ve not seen the pouch for so long that I’ve forgotten how gorgeous it is! There is no Estée Lauder brand name written on the pouch. Even the leather tag and product tag inside the pouch is all from Michael Kors. The pouch itself is actually much more lighter than the Clarins bag organizer. The metal hardware with leather tassel on the zipper is a key ring which means it can be removed whenever I feel like it.

I was in a dilemma with this gorgeous pouch. A part of me wanted it to be as a lunch pouch and a part of me just wanted it to be as a pouch in the bag. I like that it’s quite spacious on the inside. In the pouch I store things like pen, Clarins card holder, Frozz mint, tissue and office keys. Okay, this pouch is so under utilized haha!!

Another essential pouch is the Dior half moon grey pouch. This serves as a quick makeup touch-up pouch and this pouch has been in my bag for months. I don’t usually bring makeup in my bag and that habit is slowly adapting. It’s quite dangerous for me to have this pouch because I can over-stuffed with lipstick without me realizing. I have thought of combining the stuff in this pouch to the Michael Kors pouch but the Dior pouch would be a waste later so what the heck

Here I have my favorite Burberry Lip Velvet Lipstick in Peony Rose No.302 which is the broken lippie, RMK Lip Brush for the Burberry, Watsons Green Tea wet tissue, Gatsby Powdered Oil Clear Paper, Laura Mercier Lip Pencil in Naked, Clarins red mirror, Mentholatum Maxilip Anti-Ageing Lip Balm in Caviar and Estee Lauder Double Wear Moisture Powder Stay-In-Place Makeup in 04 Warm Vanilla and Kanebo Coffret D’or Natural Clear Liner.

As for the Brigitte Bardot Lancel pouch, I used it to store receipts which will later be clip-on to credit card bills. It’s really dirty so I wouldn’t want to gross you out hehe

The thing about having a spacious bag but not being able to put much things in it because the leather itself is already heavy. I do wish I can put more things in the bag without adding the weight and that seems quite impossible. On the bright side, it is a good practice for me not to store too much junk in the bag

Hope you enjoyed the peep into my not-so-interesting bag. Will do update post in the future.
