What's In My School Bag 2015

Tuesday, August 25, 2015



As it is the final week of the summer holiday's (cue cries) I have decided to share with you what's in my bag which contains a lot of essentials for school seeing as I am in my final year of doing GCSE's! This year is going to be very important for my future and unfortunately dictates what I do for a living.

My bag is The Fjällräven KÃ¥nken in the colour warm yellow, I've wanted this bag for ages and I found it for £52 on the website A.S.Adventure and I got that. Due to there being many fakes of these going cheap I've had to check all sorts such as the stitching, tags, logos and more and I can confirm that it is a real one.

In the main pocket I have an A4 folding Cath Kidston folder which I use to keep all of my homework which shouldn't be folded in there and other bits of paper which I need. I've already had this a year so it's not available any more but I do recommend getting any type of folder. In the pocket right at the back I keep the foam insert which it came with in it and a 30cm ruler as I hate having to draw a margin in two sections.

Also in the main pocket I have two pencil cases, one for the normal pens and stationary and another for my sketching pencils and fine liners as I am an art student. I also have the One Direction Our Moment sketch book which came with a perfume for little doodles. In my school it's a requirement to have your own scientific calculator for maths tests and exams. I also like to keep a little coin purse with 5p, 10p, and 20p's in it so on a day I could treat myself because my school makes the nicest cakes!

In the front pocket of my bag I have two Bath & Body Works hand sanitizers which my friends have brought back from America, one in Pretty In Pink and another in Swingin' Vanilla. I also have two lipbalms one it Maybelline Baby Lips Intense Care and another in Vaseline Pink Bubbly. I also have a little hand cream which is the Aveeno moisturising cream, I'm thinking of swapping this for The Body Shop's hand cream in pink grapefruit. I also have tablets for my shin splints as I do dance in and out of school and they are a pain! I also keep my phone, ear phones and my house key in there while I'm in school. If I wear a lipstick to school I also put that in there so I can top up as the day goes on.

In the side pockets I like to keep some colourful sharpies but I'm thinking of moving them to my art pencils case so they don't fall out and on the other side I keep my water bottle.

I hope you liked this post I might do some more school related posts at some point.

There isn't many pictures of my actual outfit but I am in love with it! You may or may not have noticed that I have been posting a few outfit posts recently and I enjoy doing them even though I have no modelling skill and I'm insanely awkward in front of a camera.

This post has been sitting in the unpublished file for a few weeks now but I'd like to thank Georgina (former blogger) for taking these pictures of me and telling me what to do. It has also been one year and 10 days since I started this blog and even though not a lot of people view my corner of the internet I'm very grateful for everything!

Pedal 'round This Lonesome Town

Today, some of my friends and I went on a bike ride to a town where one of our other friends which was just under 4km away. While we were on our way back I got Paige to take some quick pictures of my sitting on the bridge in the sun. It was slightly windy which meant my hair was going everywhere and my top sleeves flew up! You are suppose to wear the top around your shoulders but it's difficult to ride a bike and keep them down so I just let them sit on my shoulders and I think it actually looked quite nice.

I've had such a lovely day as the weather was really nice apart from a few drops of rain but I've been pretty content with life recently. The only other things which went wrong was that on the way back I ripped hole in my jeans (but it was near the seam so I can easily stitch that up) and I fell off of my bike in a dip in the ground between gravel and tarmac but I only have a few bruises.

At the end of the summer holidays I'm going to upload a summer snapshots post with a load of pictures of what I've done!
