Clutch Time

In the last month I bought 2 clutches; I'm really into this type of bag, lately - usually, I always have big, huge bags to carry around all my stuff... but now, I've been trying to only take the minimal possible with me (my posture and back should also benefit from this!).

I got this first bag in Italy - the shop is called Stradivarius and it's a spanish chain, similar to Zara or Mango. Very affordable and contemporary; this clutch costs €15.95 which is about 12quid.
I like the blue e red lining and it also got 2 pockets and a zip compartment inside.

Then I HAD TO HAVE the Ted Baker Pajak Cutout Detail Clutch too.
I've been eyeing this bad boy for months - since I saw a preview on the website - and as soon as It was available to buy, I had to grab it.
I know, Ted Baker so it's not cheap: this is 99quid (but got a tiny cashback and free delivery)... but the quality is amazing.
First, let's start with the simple coordination of colours between carrier bag and the dust bag - HONESTLY!!! I love you TB!!!
Let's move to the lining which is a silky butterfly print with zip pocket in the back and cards compartment in the front.
Then, I'm a sucker for everything laser-cut... it's something that I really like a lot (see previous clutch as well ;))
I mean, I really want one in every colour: this one is in dark orange (although it looks pretty red to me) and it was difficult to decide which one to get (black and natural top of the list!) but I can't have three :(

Do you like clutches too??

Primark' Vivienne Westwood-eque Boots

I couldn't resist for a tenner. I've been looking for ankle boots and black are perfect to match with every outfit. Isn't the wee bow cute?

I, normally, don't go for imitations or fakes but I can't justify to buy these original: they are PLASTIC, I mean PLASTIC (or RUBBER, if you wish). I don't mind to pay more for designers if it's leather or suede or you can feel the quality of the material.

New Look' Snake Patterned Clutch Bag

This clutch was also 10 pounds and change.

I love the orange/fuschia colour-blocking so much - definitely, my favourite trend since last year.

The bag also got a gold chain shoulder strap.

Versace for H&M

So, finally I managed to buy something from  the H&M Designers Collaborations.

Two years ago, quite naively, I went queuing for Jimmy Choo but invade. 

Santa was very generous tho as he brought me the clutch that I wanted. :)

Then, last year I gave it a go on the website - I wanted the earrings from Lanvin line but I had no luck. 

Again, this year I tried to buy few bits online and surprisingly I managed to get THE 2 items that I wanted. Hurray!!!

Btw, the order took forever to arrive. I thought it went lost in the mail because it was supposed to arrive between 21st and 25th and I just received today. On top of that, the box wasn't even sealed!! What a disgrace.

I, mainly, wanted the ring and I'm glad I got it in gold (I could have chosen the red version but, having seen the enamel flower on the bracelet, I'm happy with my choice). I thought I needed a L but it was sold out so I ordered the M anyway. Good news - it fits perfectly on my index finger!

It's probably more 'bling' then my usual style but I like it.

I like the wee colourful box too. :)

Unfortunately, the bracelet is going back!

I tried it on but as soon as I move my arm 1 flower slides on the left and the other on the right, leaving the gap in the middle... I feel it doesn't sit properly and simply don't like the look of it. I rather have my money back.

Plus, there's another collection coming out in January - I already have my eyes on some nice floral pumps instead. ;)

What do you think, girls? Should I have kept the bracelet?

Tk Maxx & Warehouse Deliveries

WOW... finally, tk maxx is available to shop online too... sure, they haven't got a wide selection, like in store... but that way you also avoid all the cheap, crap items (I haven't been in one in ages because I can't be bothered to go through all the stuff)

Been looking for a purple clutch for a while and liked this model, when I saw it in pink in Dorothy Perkins some months ago... paid it £14.99 (Y)

Max C Pyramid Studded Clutch

it comes with three straps: wrist, shoulder and across the body.

Also, received another clutch that I bought off ebay: been looking for a red snakeskin small bag to go with the shoes for a year!!! It matches perfectly.)
