What’s in my bag ?
Gina Tricot Bag: I have to be honest. Actually I don’t like Gina Tricot. Because the quality of their products is not up to my quality standard. The fabrics they use simply aren’t fabrics that I want to wear. The prices aren’t justified either, considering the really very low quality, and the shit working conditions the people who produce these products probably have to go through. Ok but I still go inside all the time. Why ? Because it’s so close to my uni, and the clothes look cool. Mainstream girl at heart. Yes, i think they look cool, but then I touch them, and I always get disappointed. I used to love their jewelry, but since I sell jewelry now, I don’t buy it anymore, unless I really really want something so bad, that I can’t forget it for days. Anyway, last week I went into Gina Tricot after an afternoon at library. I just wanted to get my mind off Chinese characters a bit, and checked out some of the stores around my uni, one of them Gina Tricot. Went in, saw this bag, tried it on, bought it. Because it fulfills 80% of the criteria I was looking for in a bag for uni ! It’s a shoulder bag, big enough to fit my Chinese book, my Macbook Air, and a whole lot of other things, without being too big, you know. It’s just the perfect size, no unnecessary details, just a plain black shoulder bag, which is easy to open and close. It’s no real leather, but the hardware is solid, and I can’t complain at all. I would have paid 400€ for the same bag in real leather, if I had found it somewhere. But I didn’t, so I guess I made a bargain for my uni bag. You can buy it here.
Macbook Air “11: The Macbook I’m using is the lightest and smallest Macbook in the Apple family. It weighs about the same as a normal iPad, and I love it so much, I don’t know how I would get my work done without it. I got it from my boyfriend on my twenty-first birthday, and I had never worked with OS X before at that point, and thought I’d never get used to it, and kept reminiscing about my Windows computer, but now it’s Apple or nothing. There is a reason why so many people use Apple Macbook’s these days, believe me. I didn’t want to believe it at first, but once you get used to it, you won’t wanna go back. At least I don’t. And the best thing about my Macbook model, it is so light, you can take it with you anywhere ! It’s lighter than some of my books, I never have to think ‘oh shit it’s so heavy, I’m too lazy to take my Macbook with me’. Never.
iPad Mini: The first iPad Mini model, without 3G, which I use in uni or at home, since I can only use it with wifi. I used to use it a lot for Instagram and my Floralpunk Facebook page, because I had a Blackberry before. But now that I have my iPhone, it has become a much less important product in my life. I still appreciate it when it comes to browsing though.
iPhone 5: OH-EM-GEE. I used to be sooo anti-iPhone, because everyone uses it. Yes I can. I hate because I want to haha. But now I’m addicted ! Seriously I use it all the time. All the time ! It makes me being able to work on the go, non-stop. While eating, on my way to the underground station, while shopping, all the time, anywhere. Anywhere, where I have 3G signal. I even stocked up my data allowance from 1GB internet to 3GB. (Oh Apple, you are so evil. Why are your products so easily to get addicted to?)
Floralpunk Daisy case: In case you still don’t know, I have an online shop called Floralpunk. And I sell this case. No I didn’t make it myself. If I did, it wouldn’t be that cheap. But that doesn’t make it less beautiful : ) You can buy it here.
Chargers: Iam always on the go, from dawn till dusk. Everyone who uses iPhone, knows that it runs out of battery extremely fast, especially if you are on Facenook, Instagram, Tumblr or Pinterest a lot. I never leave the house without a charger !
& other stories purse: My coins always get lost below the paper money, business cards, bank cards and ID in this purse, but I love the sleek design and the feel of the leather. It looks and feels expensive, but it’s very affordable ! Get it here.
Leuchtturm planner: What’s the big difference between Moleskine and Leuchtturm ? The size. Moleskine planners are a little smaller in width, that’s why I picked Leuchtturm. But except for the size, they are pretty similar. I don’t think the brand is important, but having one is ! It changed my life ! Buy here.
Eyeko mascara: I got this one from Nga : ) ! The reason I carry it around with me is that I usually leave the house in the morning, and don’t come home till late at night. I never go home to change or anything, but sometimes I want to add more emphasis to my eyes in the evening, so all I do is add more layers of mascara. Some girls have to carry around their whole make-up bag, I’m glad that all I need is mascara and eyeliner. Because I hate carrying heavy bags.
Pens & uni documents in a clear envelope: I usually only have one subject a day, so I never need to take more than one note book and different sheets of paper with me.
Ok, now you know what’s in my bag most of the time, and also what my perfect uni bag looks like : ) Part I in the title, because I will add more posts to this series. Of course I don’t want to wear the same bag all day everyday ! I’m definitely looking for more bags to add to my “perfect uni bag”-collection !
Cheers,
Julia
