Designer Inspiration- Doing it Bulgari Style!!

Well, didn't I say in my last bag post that my next one will be a nude/beige carry style, but I must admit I didn't think I'd find or get one this quickly!!

Eva Mendes and Frida Pinto with their Bulgari Dahlia bags

Inspired by this gorgeous Bulgari Dahlia, I knew I wanted something similiar, that was a carry style, slightly slouchy and big enough, as I've been buying tiny bags recently.

So, I was pleased to come across this lovely Jasper Conran bag at Debenhams, which had been reduced from £85 to £68, is leather and certainly big enough for all those essentials.

So another item ticked off the wishlist-I think I may have enough bags for the moment, LOL!!

Bag Lady

Hi everyone!! Its a fresh spring morning-yes the clocks went forward today, so one less hour in bed. It didn't stop me from heading for the boot sale this morning, although due to all the rain yesterday, it was rather swampy and there wasn't many stalls about.

Still, I'm like a magnet to good quality bags and had to get this navy leather quilted bag and the snakeskin leather bag, both for a total of £6!! Both are across the body bags and are in fabulous condition. I think I've most probably bought enough of this style now, I really am on the look out for a beige or nude colour bag that is a carry style, another thing to hunt down for summer.

Whats on your summer wishlist?
