A Mulberry handbag treat


Last weekend I did something pretty reckless. I treated myself to a new Mulberry handbag. It was completely on the whim as I wasn't really looking for a new designer bag. I had some Christmas money, early birthday money for my parents and a £2 money box a quarter full so I only ended up paying £41 out of my own money. So really it was practically free. Or something like that! I'd wandered into the shop in Covent Garden and saw my dream bag in the sale so decided to go for it. I haven't regretted it since. The Kitchenaid food blender I was saving up for will have to be bought later on in the year!




I have such a thing for red accessories and have lusted over a Mulberry Lily for a few years. I treated myself to a Bayswater when I got my first freelance gig three years ago so had been eyeing up a new bag. But I thought I had a lot more saving to do. My upcoming 27th birthday seemed like the perfect excuse to just go for it! I absolutely adore it. It's a fantastic size, such a vibrant colour and so versatile. There's just something about the Mulberry brand that sucker punches me. No one else comes close.

Isn't Lily such a beauty?!

New In - The Cambridge Satchel Company



I've had my eye on a satchel for a good year but like a lot of things I have my eye on, I just never got round to buying one. Things get in the way and as much as I;d love too, I just can't buy big purchases willing nilly. I have important things to pay out for like bills. And holidays. But I was browsing Covent Garden last Friday and thought I'd pop into The Cambridge Satchel Company shop for a mooch around. I was greeted by the SALE sign so obviously wandered over to have a look. This beauty caught my eye immediately and I may have let out a audible gasp when I saw the very attractive price tag. £37.50 down from £125. Bargain or what!

My mum very kindly said she'd treat me as an extra Birthday present and I paid the extra to have my initials embossed in gold. Isn't she gorgeous? I opted for a 14" so I could store my MacBook when I get it at the end of the month.  In a bizarre twist of fate she matches my boyfriends new car exactly. If that isn't fate then I don't know what it!
