purchases | prada minimal baroque sunglasses

I've been wanting the perfect pair of black sunglasses for absolutely ages now and I really wanted to splurge on a good, designer pair that's going to last me a long long time (hopefully). I toyed with the idea of a pair by Miu Miu or Karen Walker, but after having my heart set for months on the Prada 'minimal baroque' design, I finally just bit the bullet and bought them while in London and oh my gosh they are the most beautiful pair of sunglasses ever; I feel like Kourtney Kardashian wearing them (yes I realise how lame that sounded), I can definitely see myself becoming one of those people who wears sunglasses come rain, wind or shine!

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?

Mulberry Continental Wallet in Dark Blush - Mulberry

The list of designer items that I dream of owning is literally longer than the M6 motorway (maybe a slight exaggeration) and one item that's been top of that list and on my mind for a while now is the Mulberry continental wallet, in particular, the blush pink/rose gold style. With handbags, I'd quite happily own a hundred and one and change them up on a daily basis but when it comes to purses, I really wanted one that was good quality, classic and would last me a good few years, so introducing my new purse and my first ever (but hopefully not last) purchase from Mulberry.

Last week I found myself with enough available funds to finally buy my dream purse and thus begins the Mulberry affair. This purse (or wallet) is perfect for me as it has a lot of space for cards, money, receipts and even a handy back pocket for cinema tickets or coupons etc. The outside is goats leather with rose gold hardware and the inside is a mix of leather and canvas with the iconic mulberry tree print. I absolutely love this purse and I hope to have it for many years to come; it was totally worth the price for such a classic and well made piece.

Do you own anything from Mulberry? What is your dream item from the designer?

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!
