A Glasgow Girl

I had been searching for a matte top coat for a while and could not find one anywhere, I had been to Boots, Superdrug and Tesco and, maybe I was looking in the wrong places but I couldn't find one. So, as I was shopping at my local Asda post gym session, I decided to pop down the aisle with all the shampoos and make-up and there in the George (Asda's own brand) section I saw it!

I did this for a couple of reasons: 1.I graduated from uni last Summer and therefore probably shouldn't be carrying as much as before (e.g. I don't need to carry my laptop every day anymore) and 2. I have a back injury and the bag wasn't really helping that too much because it allowed me to stuff so much into it. I chose this blue colour (or 'Jeans' as it's described on Zara's website) although it also comes in a lovely baby pink colour which I would have got but I always wear a baby pink River Island jacket just now so I was worried I would look like a marshmallow and it would probably get it dirty really easily. It is much smaller than the City Office Bag (I would say about a third of the size) but
