New Handbag

Hi Guys!

Hope 2014 is going well for you all. I got another new year present - a handbag from Clarks. I did pick this out myself after seeing a colleague at work with the bag (yes I'm copying a 60 year old woman).

The bag is called the Miss Chantal and I got it in black, rrp £39.99. I really really wanted the tan bag but black was more practical. 

I'm not sure how to describe the style but it's kind of similar to the infamous zara city office bag - it's got a main zipped compartment in the middle and then two open bits either side. This bag has a little flap closure, gold hardware, an arm strap and a shoulder strap, and it also has those little studs at the bottom which I love cos it the bottom of the bag isn't going to get wrecked as quickly as usual!

This is me posing with the dark tan in the shop. Taking a selfie. Cos I have no shame!!! I think my outfit for that day really suited the tan but baring in mind for work I'm usually in all black so I think I made the right choice...?

I really like the size of the bag. It's big but it's not massive. I can fit in my big purse, umbrella, make up bag, bottle, a few documents and all my other crap. The only thing I've noticed is that the bag is heavy. And no I'm not being thick - I do realise I've got loads of stuff in it - I mean the actual bag even when empty is quite heavy and so even heavier when full. But I'm really happy with this bag and so glad I copied my colleague :)

(If I win the lottery I'm going back for the tan!!)
