The New Find

Accessorize Tote Bag, from £45 to £30.
Accessorize Tote Bag, From £45 to £30
After weeks of searching, I finally found it… my perfect handbag! When it comes to clothes, shoes, bags and the rest, I am really quite fussy with what I want but I suppose you could always just say that I am a woman that just knows what she wants and knows her own mind. Now, when its comes to a handbag, it must have some basic requirements like a zip for starters; during my time browsing for a new bag, I’ve noticed that bag manufacturers must have a problem with zips these days as I struggled to find a bag with a zip and that was big enough to fit all my university books, notepads and other junk into. Although, I wanted a big enough bag for all of that stuff; I didn’t want to feel like I was dragging around a suitcase all day, everyday. Also, a bag must have pockets (inside and out) and finally, it must be a practical colour (by practical, I mean something that goes with near enough every outfit). Not too much to ask, right? Wrong, it took me six weeks to find a bag that fit these requirements and time wasn’t exactly on my side as everyday, my handbag was ripping more and more until finally, the strap snapped. 
Anyway, after strolling around Exeter all day, I came across Accessorize (a shop, I’ve really thought about looking for bags in, but I had been in every other shops going, so this had to be worth a shot). The main pocket of the bag is the perfect size for getting all my university books and notepads in and the front and inside pocket are perfect for storing all my other handbag essentials; keeping my bag organized and neat. This perfectly sized bag with a black, decorative interior and a large, practical yet stylish front pocket is the perfect addition to any outfit, especially if you put it with a black leather jacket. As a lover of a good bargain, this beautiful Accessorize handbag had £15 off; reducing it from £45 to £30, which for a good quality handbag isn’t bad at all and saving £15 is a bonus – making the bag a must-have in my eyes!

#SpringEssentials

Untitled-1Flowers blossoming, birds tweeting and shades on; it all means one thing… Spring finally is here! I am getting rather excited for all the plans that I have to come this year, once all my work is finished, I can start to enjoy the sunshine and Spring-time fun and before we know it, Summer will have arrived! My Spring-time excitement wouldn’t be complete without a few #SpringEssentials; here are just a few things that I am lovin’ this Spring.
  1. Barry M Prickly Pear Gelly Nail Vanish (I am lovin’ Pastels!) 
  2. Flowers (Specifically Daffodils!)
  3. Vaseline Rosy Lips (Perfect!)
  4. Garnier Hand Repair Cream (time to rid of those horrible wintery hands!)
  5. The Body Shop – Vitamin E Moisturizing Cream (so soft and silky… LOVE!)
  6. Summer Scoop Yankee Candle (which arrived TODAY, might I add and its smells BEAUTIFUL!)
Spring Essentials
These are my #SpringEssentials, What are yours? 
Now, my #SpringEssentials are out of the way, it's time to look at why I LOVE Spring! Normally, Spring is a time for that spring clean and a time where lots of little lambs are starting to run around in the fields again (I live in Devon, so this is something you look forward to in the Spring!) but for me, Spring is more than that; its about new beginnings, a fresh start and about getting yourself out there and having fun. I am currently sat in my garden, enjoying the sunshine; munching on some Summer berries, drinking some freshly made cucumber water whilst attempting to write my next chapter for my dissertation – as you can probably imagine, its not the easist thing to be doing, whilst outside in the sunshine. But the truth is, I cannot wait to finish all my uni work and get out and enjoy this sunshine and the time, I have left before my parents start on the ‘job talk’ as I like to call it - I’m hoping the weather is going to be nice to me this summer – optimistic, I know! Anyway, that’s enough from me today I think and all that’s left to ask is… do you have any #SpringEssentials that you would like to share this Spring time?
