The TOTE Bag - a handy accessory!

Is it just me, or do we girls need a different handbag for every occasion? Clutch bags, over-the-shoulder bags, shopper bags, designer bags…the list goes on. No wonder men just cannot seem to compete in the style stakes, what do they get? Briefcases and backpacks. Not exactly high in the fashion stakes.

Taking the time to choose a handbag is a girl’s prerogative. We need to think about it. Do I really like the colour or is it just because it’s the latest recommendation in Cosmo? Will my £45 tin foil clutch bag still be in fashion in 3 months time? Is the suitcase-sized handbag on display going to fit all my worldly possessions in? You know, those sorts of things.

Oriental bags (Part 2)

orientalSo here we go again for the second part of the oriental handbags post. This time we will look at another five bags that match the look.

The first one is actually a Ted Baker handbag: Ted Baker Printed Large Slouch Bag and costs £60. I am not normally such a great fan of Ted Baker’s products, but I really like this handbag!

Oriental bags (Part 1)

oriental handbags
Oriental style handbags have this very feminine edge that many other handbags lack. This is down to a combination of the shape and material used in these bags. Oriental handbags either have ornate decorations and beautiful prints and are often made from materials such as silk and satin. If you are opting for an oriental-inspired handbag you should make sure that you do not overkill by dressing in more oriental style clothing. Go for something simple like a black dress or jeans and a t-shirt and give your handbag the opportunity to shine!
Let us have a closer look at these oriental handbags:

Old Imitation Leather Handbag

This is a lovely and very moving handbag related poem I found on the bbc website. WW2 People's War is an online archive of wartime memories contributed by members of the public and gathered by the BBC. The archive can be found at bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar.

Old Imitation Leather Handbag

'It sat through time, on top of the wardrobe in their bedroom
Always there, brown shabby bag

She kept her memories in it, birth certificates and such, a few faded photographs, old earings, used ration books

Seemed old fashioned to me, as a child
I suppose it was forties in style
With a broken clasp, worn out from past use

You:

No matter of the style, the size of your handbag will have an influence on how your body looks in line with it.

Some general advice:

Valentine's Day: Should you get a handbag for your girlfriend?

Valentine Handbag

It is that time of the year again! What does the partner get the girlfriend to make her happy?
Well, if she is a handbag lover I think I might have an idea for you – although consider the downside before you go ahead!:

Well firstly you should take her out for dinner, because love DOES go through the stomach, and although you don’t have to rip a hole in your pocket, I don't think the golden arches will do! This is a good investment!

What is in your handbag?

I will be honest – this is what I have in mine:

handbag content

Make-up
Mobile-phone
House-keys (hurrah!)

vitamins
