Clutches to get your hands on

I don’t think I’ll be alone in saying that us girls tend to carry around a bit more than can fit in our pockets (if we have them)

In fact, I’m not even sure some of the handbags I carry would even pass for hand luggage on those budget airlines, with an almost certain excess baggage weight charge! My back and shoulders will likely be broken by the time I’m 30.

In an effort to downsize, I’ve been looking for some of the niftiest clutch bags you’ll want to get your hands on!

The winner for me was this beauty from Lola and Me, a fun company based in Wales designing Textiles and homewares by Heidi-Lou. I love how fun and bright their designs are, and I’ve already snapped this one up!

Lola and Me Beatrice Folded Clutch – £25 (on sale)

These were my close runners up!

River Island purple embellished clutch – £15 (on sale)

Biba Ruby clutch bag – £90 (on sale and other colours are available!)

New Look blue tectured clutch – £15.99 (other colours available!)

oasis kimono print clutch on asos – £25

Those Summer Time Blues

Aloha from sunny Stirlingshire!

It has been a very busy month or so for me, and sadly that has meant not much time for my little blog. However, after attending the Scotstreetstyle Gathering in Glasgow on Saturday and a few recent exciting projects, I’m back on it again! I’ve rediscovered my creative mojo and it’s pretty darn exciting!

So before I go on with posts about Styling, Tough Mudder, The Gathering, a cheeky hair change and the build up for my first time at T in the Park, I’ll share my little outfit of the day!

  

Sunglasses – Honour Over Glory

Necklace – Primark

Dress – Dunnes

Bracelet – BlackTied  (currently doing 2 free midi rings with all orders over £10!)

Bag – Bessie at TK Maxx

Shoes – Next

Today was really rather hot in sunny Falkirk (that is actually true, I feel like it should be sarcasm!) and as I woke up on my day off I saw the cloudless blue sky through my blinds and decided it was time to get summery! My mother dearest had bought a dress from Dunnes a while back and decided she didn’t like it on her, so gave it to me to see if I liked it. I wasn’t so sure at first, but I have to say, I feel rather fabulous in it! It’s so light and bright! It also went well my attempted home tanning which, thank goodness, has faded from a ghastly shade of tangerine. Since I was going Silver with the accessories I dug out my spiked heels from Next. These were my first platform heels that I got when I was 18! They’ve lasted well! I wore my Honour Over Glory sunglasses and Black Tied “The Possibilities are Endless” bracelet to give me a bit of encouragement since I had a rather important meeting to attend for a super secret project I’m working on!

My outfit choice today, I felt not only made me look good, but it made me feel good.

And that’s what I believe fashion is all about!
