My Basic Handbag Essentials / Michael KORS Jet Set Medium Travel Tote Review


The contents of my bag can get pretty crazy when dealing with a toddler - Mc Donalds Happy Meal toys to random baby socks can be found hidden away in every nook'n'cranny by the end of the week. I hardly change or switch between bags therefore the never-ending pit of receipts, soviets and crayons can also be a bit embarrassing whenever I ask my friends/family to grab something from inside. If I have lost a specific shade from my MAC lipstick collection - it's most likely in there too.


I own the Michael KORS Jet Set Medium Saffiano Leather Tote which is surprisingly very big for a size medium. This stylishly-sleek and multi-funcational bag is such a classic and is the ultimate get-away tote for any occassion - to the beach, maybe a date with your boyfriend? Or how about a night on the town - enough space to keep your flats. The bag consists of three slots, all very spacious and ideal for on-the-go office workers or bloggers. (insert winking emoji ) a great accessory holder for laptops, books (nappies and wipes) and tablets. The middle part is the only zipped compartment (such a shame since it is the only downside for me) leaving your contents exposed. Therefore, I use the zipped area for my phone, wallet and other valuables. 

This bag retails for £250 and comes in various sizes and colours.

-Saffiano Leather
-Two Top Handles
-Interior Zip Divider, Interior Zip Pocket, Two Interior Pouch Pockets
-17 x 11.5 x 5"
-Compatible with with 12" Laptop -Open Top
-Fully Lined





MY BASIC HANDBAG ESSENTIALS
These are my basic bag essentials, believe me, my bag is never this tidy but for this particular post, I decided to de-clutter my dirty little secretsI love large structured bags as I find it suits me more (being a plus-size and all) and also allows me to stuff a lot more unnecessary (but necessary) items such as three more lipsticks and an eyeshadow palette that I will never use throughout the day. #GirlProblems

Hand sanetizers, wipes and a few other baby bits not included since I will be posting a What's in my Baby Bag very soon!

  13. Love how your handbag essentials are all black like your MK Bag. It just makes me smile, i have no idea why!! I have trouble with fitting umbrellas in my bags, so i never bring them out (only to regret when i am in the rain!) I definitely need a bag like this.
    That bag is one lovely investment, its beautiful!

  16. haha! I never even realized how my things slyly matched the color of my bag.. I agree. I used to hate bringing my umberellas out since it takes up so much room in the bag, sometimes I won't bother bringing it out... then the rain comes. lol.
