1951 Maison Francaise at The Dressing Room

I hope you are having a good week so far! The ever so trendy ladies over at The Dressing Room sent me this awesome leather purse on a string pouch bag, by 1951 Maison Francaise, to stuff full of things i can't be without if i'm heading out to a Summer event. The soft leather and pouch style means you can fit quite a lot inside - i've included my large Samsung Galaxy Note 2, sunglasses, card holder, perfume, lip liner, concealer, lip balm, blister plasters and a mini moisturiser! Make up touch ups are usually required so i like to carry a few basics with me to do so throughout the day, the perfume keeps me smelling nice and blister plasters are so handy if i'm wearing uncomfy heels.
The detachable chain strap means it can be carried as a clutch, slipped into a larger travel bag, or worn with the chain as a cross body/shoulder bag so it's extra versatile - i love the embossed leather zip pull, and the printed red cotton lining is so pretty! I recommend checking out the full range of 1951 Maison Francaise bags, there's so many colours to choose from, here :).

New in - Rebecca Minkoff Mini Zach Bag

I've been a fan of Rebecca Minkoff for a while now, her simple, classic designs and timeless accessories are just right for my style, so when this popped up on The Outnet i couldn't resist! The super soft, pebbled black leather is so supple and isn't too structured so slouches across the body (if it's not packed full) - and the silver hardware gives it a sleek, clean looking finish. I love the tassels too, it comes with a long arm strap, then has a little handle at the top if you want to carry it by hand, it also converts into a backpack which makes it even more awesome! This is the Mini Zach and is a decent size, there are internal and external zippy pockets so there's different compartments to store keys, lipstick, money etc. - and it has a fab blue and black leopard print lining which matches the dust bag, happy days!

The Monday Piece - Satchels and shoes

This week's Monday Piece is on Satchelsandshoes.co.uk. It's no secret that i love black, it's a colour that looks good with pretty much everything, it's universal and i can't get enough of it! So, it's always nice to jazz it up a little with some colour popping accessories like this bright, tangerine orange satchel. It has a long accross body strap, as well as a top handle so can be carried. The front buckles are magnetic so snap shut, the inside features a printed design, with a front pouch and large inside pocket which also has a zippy compartment - there's lots of room and the material is quite spongy so it's easy to fit things in. It's a right bargain and currently on sale for £15.95, it also comes in a protective bag. They have other colours and styles too, like this pastel nude version!
It's a fab bag to brighten my black outfits, do you like orange?
