Tote of the Week: Large Slouch bags by Tove Johansson
Via Tea and Kate Another week has passed and we have one more May Bank Holiday to celebrate – hurrah! I’d love for it to be full of sunshine but to be honest if it’s grey and miserable it gives me an excuse to read and write and quietly potter with jobs around the house. Grand. My week was a good one. Busy, but good. I received a lovely phone call from a client who was overjoyed with the copywriting…

Tote of the Week: Up In The Clouds by Bread and Jam
I’m finishing this week with what I think is a damaged nerve in my back. Sharp sudden bursts of pain when I laugh, twist, and stretch? Best not laugh, twist or stretch then, eh? I can walk though so it aint all bad. Dosed up on pain killers, I reckon I’ll be somewhat away with the fairies today so this tote by Bread and Jam reflects my hopefully temporary state. I’m looking forward to the weekend with glee, mainly because it will involve…

Tote of the Week: Ta-Da! Bag by Alphabet Bags
Ta-da! tote bag by Alphabet Bags A super quick post today whilst I’m heading to Leeds for the London train – choo choo! Excuse my excitement, I get ridiculously giddy travelling on trains, more than anyone should really. Ahem. Anyway, I’m carrying my sturdy leather tote with me today as it’s not the best weather for the humble cotton tote bag. If the sun was shining however I’d be all over this Ta-da tote bag from the always awesome, Alphabet Bags.…

Tote of the Week: Suede Leather Tote Bag by The White Room via DaWanda
Via White Room Founded in Berlin in 2006, DaWanda is an online marketplace selling unique and handmade items created by talented designers from across the world. After finding the perfect bag on the site for this week’s tote of the week (hello sunshine yellow!), I had a little too much fun choosing a small handful of my favourite homewares, gifts and accessories from the site. I discovered a notebook full of designer-makers that each deserve a shout-out individually, but for now…

Tote of the Week: Big Fish, Little Fish Bag by Hey! Holla
Big Fish, Little Fish Bag by Hey! Holla Although this tote bag reminds of PJ Harvey whispering ‘little fish, big fish, swimming in the water’ rather than 90s rave scene, I totally DIG IT! Funny how a little cloth and words can make a gal smile? Well, this one anyhoo. Other things that are making me smile today are a big bag of Haribo sweets and the start of a 11 day holiday spent at home working, crafting, organising and exercising.…

Tote of the week: Carry On by West Elm
Via West Elm Hurrah, huzzah, and fiddle-dee-dee – the weekend has landed. If the weather plays ball we’ll be heading out for a couple of local walks to capture all the bluebells that are popping up to say hello. A sunday roast here, chocolate scoffing there and lots of reading, writing and website building. I might do a spot of housework but probably not…meh! Whatever you’re up to, wishing you a happy long weekend. Happy Friday! ♥ P.S On the…

Tote of the Week: You Are My Dreamboat by Helen Entwisle
Via Talented Totes I’m feeling a tad giddy today. It’s been a pretty awesome week full of goodness and hatching plans, so awesome in fact I’m going to squeeze it all into one paragraph! The OH has now finished his work gallivanting, and I was rewarded with his ace face and Fortnum and Mason treats (tea, biscuits, champagne truffles and a tote bag – wah?!). Ooh, we ate out at our local pub this week and had the BEST meal.…

Tote of the Week: Je T’aime Shopper by Atsuyo et Akiko
Via The Pippa and Ike Show The first week of April has been rather kind and full of all of the good stuff; space raiders, fresh cold milk, Girls (as in HBO series), conquering a mahoosive to-do list, banana chips, planning trips, dancing in my pj’s to Tom Tom Club, kind and jolly people making me happy, Game of Thrones (new series next week!), ace emails, and a rather spectacular fish finger buttie. Not bad April, not bad. Happy Friday! P.S…

Tote of the Week: Chat Shopper Bag by Audrey Jeanne
Via Audrey Jeanne Well, my day/week/month/year has been made today. Kate Bush has announced a 15 show tour (in London) for later in the year. Oh my. She’s an artist I never thought I’d get to see live and next Friday, when the tickets go on sale, I will have the opportunity of listening to her awesomeness. Be still my beating heart. A weekend of Kate Bush classics me thinks? Happy Friday! ♥ P.S Don’t forget to enter the…

Tote of the Week: Random Crap Bag by Happy Jackson
Random Crap Tote by Happy Jackson via Ohh Deer Today, March 14th, is all kinds of awesome. Firstly, my friend Amy has launched her online shop, Clarence and Alabama! Not only is the shop named after the BEST film, True Romance, it is filled with vintage inspired dresses, for every occasion. I’m so chuffed for her – please go take a look and say hello. She’s a good egg. Secondly, I’m off to the movies tonight. Popcorn, Matthew McConaughey…

Bookmarked: Pull and Bear
I must have been living in a cave to have never discovered Pull and Bear before. Oh well, I guess living out of the city can do that to a gal. Must. Get. Out. More. Whilst browsing Pinterest one stormy evening a few months ago, I spotted this awesome sweatshirt. Ever since I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled to see what else Pull and Bear has to offer; a lot it would seem! Fun sweatshirts, chic trousers, stylish shoes and accessories,…

Tote of the Week: TOTES bag by OH NO Rachio!
Via OH NO Rachio! I’ve had a couple of realisations this week; I’m addicted to wasabi peas, banana chips and Easter Egg chocolate. I’m obsessed with Matthew McConaughey in True Detective (favourite TV show since Breaking Bad) and I’m counting the days till the next season of Game of Thrones. Food and good drama, it would seem, are two of my favourite things at the moment. Not forgetting tote bags of course. Here is another to add to the mix from…
