What’s in your handbag?
Flicking through The Chestnut's magazines, I stumbled upon this fantastic picture of the contents of Lily Allen's handbag in InStyle.
Note how clean and immaculate everything is (not to mention designer).
I was stunned.
And ever so slightly disbelieving.
I don't believe the contents of anyone's handbag actually looks like this, unless they're suffering from a severe case of OCD.
To prove a point, I present to you the contents of my own handbag.
I could have dusted the contents with an inch of cookie crumbs that were also to be found at the bottom, but I decided not to obscure anything.
Note I have enough Tampons to open a CVS pharmacy.
I also have no idea why I have camera discs, batteries, and a cable.
My favorite part is the beige pouch on the bottom left. It's called a VIP. It's supposed to keep the contents of your purse organised.
Ah yes. Now I remember why I bought that thing...
Your handbag is much more interesting, and looks a lot like mine!
Thank you for an early morning smile.

That must be why I was drawn to a "Chanel Bag" just like the one in the photo, in pursuit of an organized bag. The small, chic little timeless bag. I do however on the flip side, love your roomy bag, mess and all.

I just laughed when I saw this picture!
I think you're not the only woman with this kind of handbag... But I have to say, yours is pretty unusual! Of course everyone knows that having a camera disc in your handbag is always very helpful during a crisis or something of the sort - haha! You're irreplaceable, Jane!

Hahaha!! Jane, this is quality!!! The contents of my work bag look just like that!! I have 3 change purses. One has mp3 player, headphones for mobile and oddly, a pair from an old phone. One has sanitary supplies. The other has change in it. I have my wallet, filofax, 2 pairs of fingerless gloves, keys, 2 usb cables and one printer lead (???). I have NO idea how most of that got in there!! I suspect the pixies from our warehouse put them there!
My weekend bags (my nice ones) have nothing in them, until I'm about to use them. xxx

OMG. I kid you not, my bag is identical to yours - item for item - except for the batteries!!!!

Yeah but that is Lily Allen's 'going out' bag..... not her everyday one. I went out last night and had a posh neat bag too then today it was back to my normal cluttered purse.......v much like yours.

After breaking my back in 2006 - and being incredibly fortunate to recover completely - I was told not to carry heavy loads any more. As a journalist I was used to carrying a handbag, briefcase, tape equipment and so on...
I quickly realised that I did not need all this STUFF with me every day. (Admittedly I now work from home!). I carry a light backpack or across the body pouch which contains:
Small diary
Two pens
Notebook
Tiny make-up bag containing lipstick and concealer
Purse containing cash and cards
House and car keys
Dog lead and scoop bags
I too bought one of those in your handbag organiser things. Just something else to carry.... It now contains credit card slips and other paper bits and bobs and stays in the house.....
Feel a lot freer for not carting all this stuff about - now I just need to apply the same discipline to clearing all the rubbish out of my house!
