Current Handbag Cravings

The Cambridge Satchel Company leather handbag / Miss Selfridge shopping bag / MARC BY MARC JACOBS shoulder bag, / MICHAEL Michael Kors leather tote,  / Mulberry crossbody handbag / MICHAEL Michael Kors leather tote

Recently, I have been so proud of myself because I haven't brought a handbag in a month because I decide to put myself on a spending ban for a few weeks. While on my spending ban it has given me a chance to think about the handbags I really want to save for and add into my collection. I have fallen in love with the Michael Kors zip totes especially the new navy colour added for the new season. I have also fallen back in love with the Mulberry Effie satchel again it so practical and a timeless piece that would go with any outfit. I also added on my list the Marc Jacobs Too Hot To Handle cross-body bag I just love the shape of it and I don't currently own a black handbag. I also have my eye out for a brown over the shoulder tote handbag for work and I came across this brown shopping tote from Miss Selfridge however for my height this handbag a little bit on the big side for me but I still have my eyes open for a similar one. The last thing on my list is a Cambridge Satchel I want one so badly I just love how the look.

Handbag Ramble: Designer Or Inspired Handbags?

Mango zipper top, $51 / The Cambridge Satchel Company satchel style handbag / Michael Kors white leather handbag, $440 / Lipsy mini satchel bag, $83 / MICHAEL Michael Kors crossbody travel purse / Mango zip top / Accessorize structured purse / MARC BY MARC JACOBS color block handbag / Chloé leather cross body handbag / River Island studded shoulder bag, $56 / Accessorize chain handbag / River Island faux leather purse, $42 / Accessorize pink crossbody / Kate Spade genuine leather handbag / Rebecca Minkoff black leather shoulder bag / Accessorize red crossbody bag / Michael Kors zip top / Mango flap bag, $29 / MICHAEL Michael Kors structured purse / Kate Spade bow handbag

Recently, I been thinking about buying a designer handbag however there are doubts in my mind whether or not a designer handbag is really worth the money, when there are so many inspired handbags around for a fraction of the cost. Because I'm the sort of person that changes my handbag on regular basics so will one designer handbag ever be enough? Also the idea that instead of buying just one designer bag you can buy a lot more different inspired handbags for the price of one, however will the designer handbag last longer?

At the moment I think the high street shops do amazing inspired designer handbags such as Mango and Accessorize which do really great affordable inspired handbags for the fraction of the price of a designer handbag.  Hmm but which is better?

Handbag Inspiration

Handbag Inspiration by fletchanna-1 featuring a vintage leather bag

Here are some of the handbags on my mind at the moment, I have to say that my favourite has to be the jet set rabbit pouch from Marc Jacobs it is so cute with the red limning inside. For handbags at the moment I love cross body style bags and the range of bright colours they come in.

Lace and Crochet Panel Trend

Mini Lace T-Shirt Haul

I am really in love with the lace and crochet panel trend in t-shirts at the moment and I really did need some new tops for spring so it gave me a great excuse to buy some. I have noticed that in every clothes store either in store or on online whether it's a top, skirt or shoes you can find this trend incorporated into these items. I also love the colours that the lace comes in and it's not just your typically white lace on tops but it you can find them in blues and pinks to.

Left: I love this top from New Look, I went for a size up so I can wear a top underneath because it is so see-through but I do love the daisy lace print.

Middle: I am a sucker for any top with stripes on and this is no different, I love the lace detailing with the blue and white stripes across it where I brought it from Dorothy Perkins.

Petite Lace Stripe T-Shirt (Link)

Right: This top also came from Dorothy Perkins and also comes in blue to. I love this top because it not see-through at all and you can wear in on its own without anything under it.

Spring Wish List: 2014

Spring 2014 Wish List

Shoe Wish List:

I seem to buy a pair of Converse every two months mainly because I am just so in love with the brand and the range of colours they come in. Since summer is on its way I really want another pair just to brighten up my outfits with. I narrowed it down on my wish list to either getting them in the colour lilac or in a pale baby blue colour.

Handbag Wish List:

The next items on my wish list for spring is a new handbag however I know that the Balenciaga Classic Mini City and the Mulberry Effie satchel are a bit out of my price range at the moment but they are two handbags I am really wishing and saving for. Another handbag that I really want to add into my handbag collection is a Cambridge Satchel  in a really neutral colour, because I just love how these bags look. The last handbag on my wish is the Nica Alicia satchel, I really love this brand at the moment and I have had my eye on the Nica Alicia satchel since Christmas however for the spring they have brought it out in new colours for the new season such as in peach, green and blue. I really love the detailing on front and the way it looks just like a classic vintage bag. 

Purse Wish List:

I really love Kate Spade wallets at the moment and the pastel colours they come in which make them perfect for spring, it's just a shame that her brand is not widely available across the UK like in the US. 

Other: 
The only piece of jewellery I have added onto my wish list for spring is an Olivia Burton gold tone watch, like Kate Spade she is a fresh new designer who has produce simple but elegant pieces that everyone wants to own.
The last item on my wish list is a perfume, called Hugo Boss Jour, this perfume reminds me of Calvin Kelvin CK in2U which is one of my favourite perfumes for summer and this has the same kind of scent to it but more stronger.
