I'm Almost Through My Memoirs, And I'm Here...

Monthly Want - November!!

Vintage Black Shoulder Bag - £20 / Beyond Retro

Hey everyone!!

Hope you're all well!!

Long time no see!

I know I've been terrible with the leaving the blogging world behind when I came to uni, but I actually didn't realise how much work it would be.  I know you're probably giving me a disapproving look right now; but I suppose I was caught up in the world of late nights, no parental supervision and endless supply money.  Of course reality has set in (hence the absence), but I wanted to pop in and share my love of vintage with you again.

How amazing is this bag??

I don't know about you, but I am a sucker for a bag that is black (check), quilted (check), chain handle (check) and of course - vintage (double check).  So I think it's easy to see why I love this bag so much. It is perfection and it's affordable! I think I'm spending my life filling it with substitutes for a classic Chanel bag, (the one I want is £3,500 - anyone want to lend me that amount). I know it's crazy to spend that obscene amount of money on a brand new handbag, so why not look to a similar handbag that has already had a long life and is looking for it's next adventure. I love looking at vintage bags and wondering where it's origins are.  I think about all the wonderful places it's been to and all the amazing sights it might have seen. I know it's just a handbag; but to me it's not just that, it's a part of history - first it's original owners and now mine.  This bag is the perfect accompaniment to any outfit.  I love wearing vintage bags with a more relaxed outfit, it instantly adds a more expensive look to the ensemble. A vintage bag instantly excites me! I love finding them online, in vintage shops and charity shops, they are my favourite things in the world. I have a small collection building up and this would be the perfect addition to it.

Everyone needs a vintage bag - but I have dibs on this one!

Until next time…
