Having had a fairly long stint of a block-colour trend in bags, it is now time for a little more experimentation with detail. Clasps, jewels and the odd ‘ornament’ aren’t strangers as embellished clutches are steadily growing in popularity.

In terms of shape; the clutch is bigger and bolder than it was last season with oversized clutches vying for dominance over the ‘big bag” whilst little box clutches beg to be noticed.

Hoodies

Unless you’re Victoria Beckham or her mini me, Chanelle Hayes (ex Big Brother UK housemate) there will be times when high powered dressing just wont cut it. So what options do we ladies have? Well there is always the hoodie. While some like it and others disregard it, the hoodie can be a lifesaver for those lazy days when you just want to chill and relax or have to pop out on an impromptu errand.

J’tote Designer Laptop Bags

I’ve never owned a laptop bag instead I prefer to use any one of the freebie bags that I’ve hoarded over the years from magazines. My laptop must hate me for my frugal ways and it’s accumulated a number of cuts and bruises as a result. But honestly I just can’t find a decent laptop bag. I’m fussy. What can I say? The bag has to do more than carry my laptop it has to look damn good too and be reasonable priced. Well it appears that I may have found a bag that ticks all my boxes.
