Always wanted to know what other women carry in their purses, clutches and totes? We take a look at women’s bags and their content. This time a peek Maaike’s bag (26), a managing consultant at a housing association.
Where did you get this bag from? I bought it at a wholesale. My sister has her own website, www.lemuguet.nl, where she sells unique handmade baby and children’s accessories and one day I joined her doing wholesale buying. What items are always in your bag? My cell phone, lip balm, tissues and lots of other stuff, I’m always the one who has everything with her. What is your favorite brand when it comes to bags? I don’t have a favorite brand, if I like a bag I’ll buy it no matter what the brand is. I do have a preference for big bags with pockets and it’s important for me that they are handy in use. Whose bag would you like to see the content of? Angelina Jolie And Johnny Depp if he’s carrying one. Any secret weapon you want to share with us? When you iron your hair, like me, you should definitely try the products from John Frieda. I’m especially very fond of the moisturizing spray.

Everyone has those days where you just don’t know what to wear. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a blouse for just about every occasion? We think this blouse fits that profile.
It’s casual and it can be worn chic as well. It really comes down to accessorizing it perfectly. Shorts, jeans or a waistcoast are great for a casual fit. For a chic look combine it with black or stay in the same color shades such as creme or grey. A high waisted skirt would look great with a pair of stockings. It all depends on the occasion!
