What's in my bag? - Day Out Edition

Last week, I went on an exciting day out to London with my family, if you follow me on instagram you would have seen what we got up to (if you don't follow me you can find me at @carysjessican )

These are some of the things that I keep in my handbag: 

My phone - I never actually leave the house without this! 

Hudl /tablet - This is such a useful thing for on the road, I have lots of my favourite TV shows and it's perfect to get some work done.  

Camera - to obviously take pictures! 

Hand cream - Soap & Glory Hand Food
Lip Balm - Blistex Raspberry Lemonade 

Purse - Cath Kidston - to hold my pennies. 

iPod - when you run out of TV episode / want a nap / on the tube 

Umbrella - I live in England, do I need to say much more? 

Cough Sweets - I have spent most of the past few weeks, coughing up a storm! So these have become my besties.
