So a few months ago, I promised myself (and most likely hubby) that if I bought that lovely red Oroton handbag that I would be be good and not buy a new handbag for aaaaggges ;)



Well all good and well until this Basque beauty called out to me at the Myer sale... try as I might, even a toddler demolishing racks of bras could not up put me off from lining to buy it too. Its nice and big and I am sucker for buckles, chains and studs... (thats the horserider in me!). It has proven rather handy already for carrying all of my junk and Elka's and also almost blocks my big pregnant belly from the side. (This is useful as people love to stare at you when you are heavily pregnant and then make a comment to their companion - it gets old so shielding can be a nice break!)

Well, I don't even feel guilty since I can't buy lovely new winter clothes as I am way to pregnant to bother and don't want to be stucks with big sacks that I will never wear again, I have to put my shopping frustrations to accessories instead!

Oh that is gorgeous! I know why you couldn't resist. And don't worry, I love buckles and the like at the moment too - and I'm no horserider!!

I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte.

I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
