I Want Never Gets... Bags

I used to be a crazy bag lady and own dozen and dozens of bags. About a year ago I had a massive clear out and now I have one bag I use for work (big enough to fit my whole world in), one across body bag for weekends (& usually nights out too as I'm lazy), and an assortment of random clutches and larger bags that I use as and when I need to. But lately I've caught the bug again and have found myself being drawn to look at bags online.. here are some that have caught my eye.


This simple, chic and stylish shoulder bag would be a great bag for most occasions, as I think the colour would compliment so many different outfits. It's a great autumnal shade. I'm actually on the market for a new work bag (but waiting for the sales) and I think something like this would be perfect for me! £169 from Number Eight. Click!


I adore the floral pattern on this Ted Baker shopper - it's quite muted tones so not too garish but I think it would be ideal for either winter or summer! I'd definitely invest in this if I needed to cart around A4 files and folders as it's the perfect size. £36 - Click!


Another from Ted Baker, how absolutely gorgeous and glam is this bow clutch?! This would be a perfect addition to any New Year's Eve outfit, it's amazing! I can't get over how sparkly it is, I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to a bit of glitz and glam. £79 from Number Eight. Click!


Another Dunbar bag (like the first), I think this bag would be perfect as your go-to weekend bag. The shoulder strap means you could easily carry shopping bags alongside it - an obvious priority! Again I love the green and brown tones of this bag, it's a timeless style. £149 - Click!

Have you invested in any staple bags recently, or even just impulse bought anything new?

I Want Never Gets... Winter Warmers

Winter is by far my favourite season. Not that I don't love a bit of sunshine, but I much prefer crisp cold days full of winter sunshine to a boiling hot summer's afternoon! Part of the reason I adore winter so much is because we can wrap up snug and warm in all sorts of lovely accessories! Here's a selection of my favourites.


These star print ear muffs will keep your ears toasty and warm on those extra chilly days that we seem to be having a lot of lately! I love the metallic fabric and star print - these little details make this pair a tiny bit special. Ideal to treat yourself or as a stocking filler this Christmas, £12.99 from Number Eight. Click!


I LOVE mittens. My hands always feel that much chillier when I wear regular gloves, which means my drawers are overflowing with gorgeous knitted mittens at this time of year! These ones would be an ideal addition to my collection - the multicoloured stripes mean they would go with lots of different coloured scarves and hats! Which is good as I do like to mix and match. £16.99 - Click!


I've never quite had enough confidence to wear a furry headband in winter, but I do get accessory-envy when I spot girls sporting them! I think this one is lovely and big and would look fab with long wavy hair to frame your face! The colouring of the (fake) fur means this would suit blondies and brunettes alike! £19 from Number Eight. Click!


If it snows this winter, stylish wellies will be a must have! If you don't own a pair of Hunters yourself, you could always fake it and invest in some Hunter welly socks - the branding on the cuff makes any old pair of wellies look like they're the posh kind! I love these cable knit ones, £28. Click!

What are your favourite cosy winter accessories?
