All wrapped up (and sweaty) waiting for Autumn Fashion!

Ok, now I tend to get a bit of stick about this from friends…but I’m just not a summery kind of girl. It’s either too hot, or too humid, and usually, following only a mildly energetic slow walk, I’m worn out!

My season is Autumn. Thoughts of clichéd crispy leaves, a golden haze and the prevalent need for furry woolies (specifically mittens – I LOVE mittens) leave me sat here in significant discomfort, in the sunshine, planning my toasty dream outfits…

Wicker Woman…

Accubation is the process of eating or drinking whilst lying down, both of which I am doing right this second as I write this post on handbags (I’m still having problems with the beginning of my posts, ‘hi’ just isn’t doing it for me and this turned out to be plan B – Sorry.)

I thought I’d write a bit about bags largely because Summer is pretty much here and as a die hard fan of Autumn / Winter fashion, I feel like I neglect my Summer wardrobe somewhat and need something to make it pop…

So, in an effort to calm the fashiony beast within I’ve been trawling the net in search for a cute bag to accompany me through the season ahead and I think I’ve found one!…

This handheld number may seem somewhat, ‘picnic in the park’ but I think it offers a fun and unique twist on the generic ’embellished, quilted, across the body’ clone you see so often both in the day and in the evening on girls all over the show.

To tell you the truth I’ve been looking for a bag like this for a while, having seen a picture of the adorable Audrey Hepburn, photographed for Vanity Fair, complete with her own little wicker basket.

Not only is this bag unusual, but it’s practical too (this is NEVER usually a factor I consider when purchasing clothes/accessories, take the CHANEL Hoola bag for instance, ridiculously unnecessary in the most fabulous of ways and I need it in my life). The interior boasts a cute floral print and is spacious enough to fit both my MAC essentials and broken down iPhone. It’s just been ordered from BeyondRetro.com so I’ll let you know how it fares!
