Spring cleaning my laptop...

It was around 2 years ago that I styled this outfit. In fact, the accompanying notes (including who designed what) are long since gone. The only piece I instantly recognised, as the ladies style geek I am, was the bracelet by Mary Katrantzou.
Anyway, I digress. I may not be able to remember who wisely designed the other pieces, but I know they came with a similar price tag, so clearly not the cheapest accessories out there at the time, but it just goes to show that investing in the right things is worth a little extra thought and sometimes money.
How long ago was it that I spent time writing the ‘Investment Pieces’ article? A couple of months perhaps? Maybe in a further 2 years it will still be as fantastic… Who knows!

Handbag SOS Kit

“I might pass        in the corridor at work!”… And so a full-size perfume, lip gloss, lipstick, mascara, nail file, and hair brush go into your bag, along with everything else but the kitchen sink!

Need I explain the point I am making here?

Keep to these few basics, and come every wardrobe dilemma or clothing catastrophe you’re pretty much covered.

  • Tissues
  • Mini Lint Roller
  • Tweezers
  • Spare pair of tights
  • Chapstick or pocket size Vaseline
  • Antiperspirant roll-on
  • Small bottle of fragrance/perfume
  • Emergency sanitary wear; 2 tampons and 2 panty shields
  • Travel Mirror
  • Small handful of change (or familiarize yourself with the wonders of chip & pin)
  • Nail File
  • Small umbrella (unless by some miracle it’s a heat wave)
  • Small brush/ comb
