YOUR DAY TO DAY BAG

Day to day you need a bag to suit your lifestyle; something to lug your bits and bobs about. From your wallet, mobile phone, keys, diary, handbag hook (do you have one?), make-up, hankies, notebook, sunnies, brolly, lip balm, hand sanitiser, medication, pen, comb, reading glasses, nibblies, water bottle, kitchen sink – just joking! Check these out:

THE SPECIAL OCCASION BAG

Every woman needs an arsenal of evening handbags in a variety of colours – gold, silver, black, a bright. Whether you are Mother-of-the-Bride, going to the Races, a charity event, the theatre or just out for dinner, it is nice to have a few to choose from in your cupboard. To be honest, with evening bags, I think I have bought almost all of mine on sale – so now is the perfect time to shop! Another good thing about these bags is that they rarely date if you choose wisely. You will have the same bag forever if you take care of it well.  Go for sparkles, glitter, glo-mesh, satin, embellishments, and a glamorous colour.
