Mulberry Maisie Clipper - Black

I'll be the first to admit that when it comes to Mulberry bags, I've never been one to dream of owning 'the perfect Mulberry'. Now don't get me wrong, they are beautiful bags and anyone who owns one is very lucky, but the standard Alexa, Bayswater and Del Rey have never really made me really really want one. That being said, as soon as I clapped eyes on the beautiful Maisie Clipper in black I knew it had to be mine with its unique embossed leather detailing, suede side panels and gold hardware - it's perfect! And so you might have guessed, I bought it...oooops!

Now firstly, the above photograph do not at all reflect its sheer amazingness but instead do show just how difficult it is to photograph an all black object. Photos aside, this bag is literally my new prized possession and having used it once already, I can tell it's going to become my most used bag by a long way! It's super spacious inside but from the outside it doesn't actually look that big surprisingly. It has the main section and then a smaller phone pocket and zipped sections inside and on the back so perfect for people who like to carry a lot I'd say! A Mulberry really is an investment piece in my eyes one that is well worth it for me personally, these bags are beautifully made and the leather is the softest I've ever felt; I'm more than happy with my purchase and I still can't quite believe I own it in all honesty!

Are you a fan of Mulberry bags? Which one is your dream to own?

Zara Mini Shopper in Green

You may have seen my post from a few weeks ago where I showed you my new Zara braided handle bag (here), well,  I have a confession to make. I sort of bought another bag at the same time as that one because I totally needed yet another bag to add to my already extensive collection. I couldn't actually resist this bag though, it's the most perfect size (it's not really that mini despite the name) and the green colour is just amazing and so unlike any other bag I own. 

I took this bag with me to London last weekend and it was great; not too heavy, secure with a zip closure and a real stand-out colour that definitely got noticed by a lot of people! Zara are so on point at the moment with their bags - or they were until they all sold out - I can't wait to see what they get in with the new season stock!

Zara Shopper with braided handles here. 

Handbags are actually my weakness and this past week I seem to have given into this weakness a lot (four times to be precise). I saw this Zara shopper on the website a few weeks ago but found myself undecided after not being too keen on the brown-ish colour. I then saw a few people blog about it and saw that it was in fact nude and not brown and so I stayed up until midnight one night last week and ordered it in the sale! I love the size and the pinkish/nude colour of this bag and I also love the whole look with the braided handles and Celine-esque side panels. This bag is perfect for spring/summer and I can see this becoming a real favourite of mine, Zara is on point at the moment with their handbags!

DUPE | ZARA SHOPPER

Primark - £12

Pretty much everyone reading this will know the Zara bags I'm talking about; y'know the ones that everyone has or wants. Well, I too wanted one of those bags but unfortunately I couldn't justify the price, so when I spotted this gem in Primark last week, I had to snap it up!

Now obviously it's not the same and I know it's not going to be nearly as good quality and the 'real thing', but for a cheaper dupe/alternative, I think it will suffice. It's a bucket sort of shape with two top handles and a magnetic closure (I wish it had a zip!). It does also have a longer strap but I personally, think it looks a bit naff so I doubt I'll be using it - at least the option is there though...
