2016 is definitely the year of smaller bags. I have always been a lover of big bags but after having a few back issues I decided it was time to down size for a little while. I am currently using my Michael Kors Small Satchel in the Navy Saffiano Leather which I was kindly gifted by Glen for out anniversary last year. Lets take a look at what I carry around with me on a day to day basis.
Michael Kors Jet set travel coin purse in the Navy Saffiano Leather to match the bag which has bank card and ID in it, KG for Kurt Geiger card holder which has my four most essential cards in; Boots, Superdrug, Nandos and Cineworld card. I am eyeing up a Navy MK card holder so I have the matching set. I then have a little pouch my sister bought me for Christmas and in here I keep some painkillers, plasters and hair bobbles. To go along side this little pouch I have some hand wipes, hand cleansing gel and tissues. I also have a mini hair brush, chewing gum, headphones and a mini note pad and pen. I also have my house keys on a Mulberry keyring.
On the front of my bag I have a burgundy pom pom which I am a little in love with.

Last year I was lucky enough to receive a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 instant camera. I had been eyeing one up for the longest time as I love taking pictures but always forget to get them printed so this was the perfect camera for me because as you have properly already guested the photos print instantly.
The camera itself is super easy to use you simply pop the film in the back of the camera and start snapping away. I find the camera to be quite lightweight and compact enough to pop in your bag so you can take it to capture memories if you are off out for the day.
I have the white camera and mine came with a film of 20 white boarder polaroid prints and 10 coloured boarder polaroid prints. I currently have my eyes on the Shiny Stars, Stained Glass and Candy Pop films. I love that the boarder just adds that little extra something to the photo. I don't have a case for mine at the minute I just keep it in a little draw string bag that came free with a beauty box I think but I am tempted to get the Leather Carry Case just so it has the proper protection.
Taking a selfie with the camera is not that hard you just need to make sure you have camera positioned in the right correctly but I recently a Selfie Mirror Lens which I am tempted to pick up as a lot of the polaroids we take are together. 
At the moment I store all the polaroids on our notice board but I am tempted to buy a Polaroid Photo Album for the other photos that aren't on display,
Overall I am super happy with the polaroid camera and would highly recommend one if you are a lover of having your photos on display. 

We all have that one list of items that we would love to purchase if money was not an issue or something we plan on saving up for. My list consists of beauty, fashion and lifestyle bits on. Being a bit of an apple geek of course there had to be some technology items on my list.
Lets take a look at what I am currently swooning after. 
Apple MacBook Air
We have a Mac but I am defiantly lusting after a MacBook. 
There had to be a beauty item on my wish list. A box of 10 Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks, What more could a girl want?!

What is on your luxury wish list?
