bag lady

Last week or so Natalie Roos posted a blog post titled "what's in your bag?" and tagged some people on twitter to get involved mainly to have a nosy little peek into other girls bags...

I decided to do a triple whammy of bags -
1. the everyday lady bag.
2. the laptop bag.
3. the camera bag.

I bought this bag in Ilsan, South Korea - I also bought the two similar bags as gifts for my Mom and Aunt in South Africa. This bag is the perfect size for me and the colour goes with everything. During the purchasing of this bag - Me and two friends were asked to be filmed for some Korean TV show about being a foreigner in Korea. (It's not an unusual occurrence.)

The Contents:
  1. Notebook - sent in a package from my friend Angie from Canada
  2. Korean bank card
  3. Big heart ring

  6. Disposable travel cards that I keep meaning to refund. But then i forget.
  7. T-money card - used for all buses and subways around Seoul.
  8. Leather and gold chain wrist-wrap bracelet.
  9. Labello lip-ice and Lancome juicy tube. (I always lose lip-ice)
  10. Coffee sachet. (funny story... we actually bought coffee sachets from a 24 hour convenience store in Seoul because we wanted the paper cups that they come with. Just so that we could drink the "fancy" bottle of "Family Mart" red wine whilst sitting on the plastic chairs and tables outside the store. yip.)
  11. Gorgeous leather pen holder from my friend Laura - stocked with multiple pens and pencils.
  12. Turquoise headband.
  13. Eggshell shimmer stick from Skinfood. Works so beautifully as a highlighter and as a bronzy/creamy eyeshadow.
  14. Hairband. (not too good with wearing my hair down. [in the literal sense i mean. Figuratively - i'm ok. see #10] )
  15. Pair of black sunglasses that I bought on the streets of Seoul. (purchase may or may not have had something to do with aforementioned bottle of wine.)
  16. Pair of sunglasses I was previously wearing that day.
  17. Receipts and Korean money
  18. Camera keychain I bought
  19. Mini bottle of perfume
  20. Tomatoes and almonds. For snacking purposes.
  21. Mini Polaroid pic of the girls out for lunch.
  22. Travel stickers and stationery I bought
  23. Starbucks cup holder - which I hoard collect to use when I make "up-cycled" books and things.
  24. Random spoon. (?)
  25. Emirates flight menu. (used as a bookmark)

  27. Starbucks card.
  28. Nintendo Game boy. Just kidding, that's my iPhone. i know.

  10. Laptop bag. Did you miss it?
  11. Earrings given to me by a co-teacher.

This bag is amazeballs. But really. I got mine for my birthday from my lovely mom and dad.
And now you can get them in South Africa from Camera Couture.  They stock a range of beautiful ladies (and men's) designer handbags that are actually camera bags with padding and support for expensive camera equipment. And you can adjust the padding inside to fit your needs. They are awesome because instead of packing your big ugly black camera bag and lugging it around with you - you can pack it all into a really pretty "handbag" and not look like the Italian Mafia every time you want to take your camera's out for a ride.

Um-- I need an indieberries moo card stat.  I love them!   Also, Dom was carrying her camera bag around the other night and it was so full of stuff that she nearly clobbered me down to the ground with it.  That was not very GG of her...(I kid, I kid).

Che Kershaw said...

Weezafish said...

Okay, so I'm normally one of those 'camera must come everywhere with me' types and my very boring (now compared) black camera bag also carries keys, cards, cash etc. etc. because I don't want two bags to carry. And now? NOW? I just HAVE to have me one of those Camera Couture bags. I'll start saving up ... Turquoise is my favourite colour too, gotta be done.

Che Kershaw said...

you NEEEED one of these bags!! i promise you - you will not regret it! they are well worth the cash!! trust. me. :)
