    Tote of the Week: New York City Canvas Bag via Famille Summerbelle

    I came across Famille Summerbelle when I began blogging back in 2010 – oh how the years have flown by. Their combination of French and British inspired gifts and homewares had me hooked then and now. Available in three designs: New York, Paris and London, the City Canvas Bag is a worthy purchase to celebrate the city you love. Oh New York, how I love thee. Make it yours for £19.  ♥

    Tote of the Week: Cinema of Love Canvas Bag by David Austen

    Gimme, gimme, gimme this bold and beautiful tote by David Austen via Culture Label. Isn’t it lovely? For £10 it makes a great gift for budding film makers/lovers/geeks (hands up to the latter). It’s just a shame there aren’t as many places to go now to fill it with your latest DVDs. Drat and damnation. A serious catch up with my favourite characters is most definitely in order this weekend. So I’ll be honouring this tote by spending one day…

    Tote of the Week: Canvas Weekend Bay via Baggu

    Cor Blimey do I love this weekend bag from Baggu. Simple, classic, chic and yes, ideal for a weekend away on the coast. Although I’m heading home to the grassy hills of Hebden Bridge tomorrow, the sea and sand will be in my thoughts for a long time to come (plans next trip to the sea!) and this Bag from Baggu would very much like to accompany me. Indeed it would.  ♥

I’m off to two weddings this year and know one of the brides would love one of these, if only to carry her wedding heels in whilst dancing! Make it yours for only £14. ♥

    Tote of the Week: Smile for the Camera Shopper via Mr. PS

    The Smile for the Camera Shopper from Mr. PS, priced £14.75, is my latest offering for  Tote of the Week. I’ve long been an admirer of Megan Price’s screen printed brilliance which comes in the form of Shopper Bags, Tea Towels, Screen Prints, Homewares and Accessories – I think you should too! Screen printed on both sides by hand, the shopper includes an image of a vintage camera and on the reverse a typographic message: SMILE. Oh go on then. Happy…

    Tote of the week: Tatton Bag via Monsoon

    This bag was made to be touched. Just like my super soft dressing gown, my cashmere jumper and my fluffy Winter bed socks. It wants to be part of the ‘feel me’ gang. I’m willing to forgo this totes pervy tendencies though because it is very pretty and chic. Purple suede is all kinds of right – ideal for this season (minus the rain) and a great match for many winter outfits. I love the wine/plum/berry look I’m seeing everywhere…

    Tote Of The Week: Bicycles Foldaway Bag via Paperchase

    I might be flaunting my old lady sensibilities here but foldaway bags are handy little things aren’t they? I promise I am only 32 years old. Promise. Ah, sod it. I am a Sherry drinking, Miss Marple watching sentimental so and so. I am still cool. I am. The bicycles foldaway bag via Paperchase is £4 and is a strong durable bag that can easily pop in your satchel. What a delightful print! Happy Friday folks! ♥

    Tote of the week: Book Club Tote via New Leaves Studio

    This Book Club tote puts me in mind of quiet nights in snuggled in the arm-chair, with blanket and hot chocolate in tow. Not forgetting a good book of course. I’m a seasonal reader, I read more books over Autumn and Winter than the rest of the year.  I’ve come to terms with that rather than feeling bad that I don’t read as much during the Spring/Summer. I guess, it’s a good way to distract yourself from all the naff…

    Tote of the week: Rocket Ship Tote by Sam Osborne

    Sam Osborne is celebrating the end of Summer with a tote bag sale – hurrah! A hop, skip and a quick gander later I decided mt favourite is The Rocket Ship tote bag, and in my mind pays homage to the late Neil Armstrong (wink at the moon!). Her hand-stenciled totes are only £5.50 and make a perfect gift to the explorer and star-gazer in your life. For a further peek at her colourful prints, totes, cards and homewares visit…
