My bag

I love it when people post about the contents of their handbag. I'm not sure why I like it so much, but I really do. Inspired by the recent post over at Krims Krams, I emptied mine out tonight when I got home from work and here's what was inside...

Black Porter tote bag for Monocle containing iPhone with red leather Ordning & Reda cover, Cath Kidston cherries button mirror, Aesop rosehip seed lip cream, Liberty gift coins, Keys on a Hermès leather apple key chain, Keepcup, Marimekko umbrella, Nail file, Mason Pearson comb, Antibacterials wet-ones, Blackberry, Postalco pass case, Comme des Garçons wallet, Cutler & Gross sunglasses, Rennies, Rob Ryan for Afternoon Tea shopping bag, Sony Ericsson phone, Mont Blanc Bohème pens and pencil set, Moleskine diary, Coq en Pate pencilcase (plus photo of contents), Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX38 with case and MMMG wrist strap.

Oh, and a peek at the bump!
