What's In My Bag?... My Tools for Weather Survival

As my ultimate weather-navigating accessory, my handbag holds the essential items needed for me to avoid any mishaps when out and about. With a few exceptions which come and go from my staples  (such as pens, painkillers etc.),  I largely carry around the same things daily. So, I thought I would do a 'what's in my bag' post today to show you what lies in a fashion meteorologist's hangbag...

1. Umbrella - no explanation needed! / 2. Purse - This one is by Michael Kors and has endless compartments so that everything is in order /  3. Hand Cream - I have super dry hands and cannot leave the house without it! / 4. Make-up Bag - I keep all the little cosmetics items in this so they don't get lost / 5. Travel Perfume Atomiser - So that I can carry my fav scent wherever I go! / 6. Comb and Brush - For those windy moments / 7. Hand Sanitiser - Bacteria is not your friend... / 8. Vaseline - All purpose essential / 9. Carmex - Dry lips caused by hot or cold is not an option / 10. Nail kit - For those nail emergencies / 11. Tissues - Cold, hayfever, nosebleed...need I say more / 12. Hand wipes - For those sticky moments / 13. Keys - Gotta get in, right? / 14. Diary - I'd pick paper over electronic anyway / 15. Oyster Card + Holder - For getting around / 16. Handbag Hook - Who wants to put their handbag on the floor? / 17. Glasses - Blind without them! / 18. Spare Phone Battery - Smartphone batteries have notoriously short lives.

A bag organiser holds all of my handbag items making it super easy for me to change handbags at will. It can actually fit into a pretty small bag (think iPad/tablet sized) so is very useful! This one was from Primark and cost around £3.

What do you carry in your handbag? Do you have any weather-busting essentials? Let me know!!!
