Bag Lady

Remember that River Island satchel bag I was lusting after just after Christmas but couldn't justify after all the mad sales shopping? Well, I figured a suitable amount of time has passed and I've been quite good for a couple of weeks, so I gave in to the lust...plus it never did go on sale like I'd hoped!

It's a cross body satchel bag which is great for me as I'm so forgetful and always putting down bags and forgetting them inducing mini heart attacks when I think I've lost it!  It's not real leather but it does look more expensive that £36.99.  I've used it almost every day since I got it - to work, shopping, out at night and I'm so happy with it.  It vaguely reminds me of the Mulberry Alexa crossed with Miu Miu because of the buckle and stud detailing.

The only drawbacks are that for quite a small bag (33cm in wide) it is heavy, but even so, I worry that the handles are starting to wear at the side as the shape is already a bit distorted - but I do jam a lot of heavy junk in!
