OK, we’ve saved another one of our best outings for last (Knightsbridge being our favourite).
In association with Kenco Millicano, the latest trend in instant coffee, we’ve been looking for the latest trends in handbags! Kenco Millicano’s exciting new addition, the stick packs, are cute little packs of ten individually wrapped servings that fit neatly in your handbag – giving you that smooth, full bodied taste and rich aroma wherever and whenever you want it. Our findings have certainly been very revealing in terms of the choice we ladies make when it comes to our handbags.

Practical, functional black or tanned bags have been top of the list. Our final trip in Angel definitely confirmed our earlier findings. But boy did we LOVE the bags we found. Lots of oversized beauties. While Mulberry has also been a big favourite, we also managed to find a couple of Michael Kors fans. These Kors bags were both classic black shoulder bags (we would have liked to find some other colours but the majority rules…black is the colour of choice).
Yes…we have yet another tanned satchel…but this time it was an oversized satchel that we just had to share.

In terms of “something a little different” we have a cute small burgundy bag which we couldn’t imagine carrying simply because we couldn’t even fit half of our daily items in! But it was cute nonetheless, and a leopard print bag – again we weren’t too sure about this bag BUT we loved the fact that it was a welcome change…thoughts?

Finally we did love this felt handbag which we can only describe as gorgeous and totally unique. Where do we start? The shape, the fabric, the detail…everything, and it perfectly complements the wearer’s hat too! See we told you Angel was a great spot for finding bag inspiration.
And if you’re in need of some more check out our coverage at Carnaby Street, Convent Garden, Camden Passage, Knightsbridge, Oxford Street and Bond Street and Spitafields!

So last week saw us camping out in Carnaby Street, Covent Garden, Camden Passage, Knightsbridge, Oxford Street and Bond Street all in the name of finding the most stylish handbags in London in association with Kenco Millicano.

Why Kenco Millicano? Well, like most women, the Kenco Millicano drinker is a busy woman, always out and about, so her handbag needs to be as versatile as she is. After all, it holds all the little things that make life so special, a bit like Kenco Millicano. The brand has now added an exciting new addition in the form of stick packs, which fit neatly into your handbag, giving coffee lovers delicious Kenco Millicano whenever and wherever they want!

Now…on to our findings. Sadly we only spotted three bags worth snapping at Spitafields. However all three were great pieces…definitely pieces we’d add to our collection. We’ll start with our favourite – this olive green tote (pictured above). We love the shape, size and colour. Most of all we love the front panelling and the front pocket – perfect for holding our “stick packs” *wink wink*.

Next up is this black bag with gold metal hardware. With less structure than most of the bags we spotted last week it’s perfect for holding all our numerous gadgets including our notebook (which we couldn’t live without). But most of all we love the printed lining.

Finally….yes yet another tanned satchel. If you’ve been following our coverage, you’ll know that the satchel has been one of our most popular sightings. But we just had to take a picture of this bag. It’s simply perfect. The contrast of the dark brown detail gives it the extra edge needed to make it stand out!’

So tell us…which bag out of the three would you add to your wardrobe?

For our fifth instalment of handbag hunting in association with Kenco Millicano we took a trip to Oxford Street & Bond Street. For all non-regular readers of MFL we’ve been hunting for London’s most stylish handbags!

We are on the hunt for the best handbags we can find, and it’s all in association with Kenco Millicano, the latest trend in instant coffee. Like most women, the Kenco Millicano drinker is a busy woman, always out and about, so her handbag needs to be as versatile as she is. After all, it holds all the little things that make life so special, a bit like Kenco Millicano. The new addition stick packs, individually wrapped servings of Kenco Millicano, will be the perfect addition to all busy women’s handbags.

We’ve had heaps of fun searching out cool bags (especially as we’re bag lovers) and we were pleasantly surprised to find a deviation on the usual practical and functional bags..…instead we were lucky enough to find some quirky offerings. Here’s our top 5…

1. We found an animal print fan! Check out the Zebra print bag
2. A vintage box bag which had our name all over it…(can you spot the owners yellow headphones? We just had to get that in the pic)
3. An adorable printed bag with a deer cute enough to rival Bambi…
4. Pink checked shoulder bag
5. Our ultimate favourite from the day – a bowling bag with sticker prints

And that’s a wrap folks. We’ll be back with a stint at Spitafields in two days time

So we’re gearing up for London Fashion Week here at MFL HQ. We know that there are lots of things which women absolutely love – fashion and accessories being high on the agenda. We also know that busy women love coffee, and thanks to Kenco Millicano, the latest trend in instant coffee, women can now enjoy the luxury of the taste of freshly ground coffee in an instant form.

The launch of the new stick packs means that it can be enjoyed whenever and wherever you want.
In association with Kenco Millicano we hit the streets to find some of London’s most stylish handbags. So far we’ve stalked women at Carnaby Street, Convent Garden and Camden Passage.

We thought Camden Passage would be our overall favourite but boy were we mistaken. Knightsbridge was definitely a great stalking spot! We found a number of various gems including many Mulberry lovers.

Right…where do we start. Firstly as expected there was a sea of black bags. Satchels were a familiar sight, making us feel as if we were back at school but it was this bright Fuschia offering (see pic below) that really put a smile on our faces. Can anyone say “gorgeous!”.

Thanks to our photographers keen eye we also spotted a fab vintage find in the form of a tan shoulder bag. Love, love love. Our editor is still swooning over this ridiculously cute luxurious beige croc embossed tote which would look amazing with any outfit.

Combining two of the most popular colours we’ve seen so far, fans of more practical and functional bags will fall for the black and tan structured tote.

We also spotted another Louis Vuitton fan, this time in beige with a very glamorous owner. Favourite handbag sighting of the day though has to go to the “tanned satchel”…

Agree? Disagree? Leave a comment and let us know!

Interesting finding? Quite a few women own at least 30 handbags and use maximum of 5 -10 on a regular basis….

Spotted: One of the coolest vintage totes with a fun floral print. Where? Camden Passage. If you’re in the need of some style inspiration, you definitely have to head to Camden Passage. Not only will you leave inspired, you’ll also find some of the coolest antique shops.

We’ve been on a mission to find some of the most stylish bags in London in association with Kenco Millicano. With the busy Kenco Millicano woman in mind the brand famed for its delicious instant coffee has recently launched “stick packs” – ten individually wrapped servings that fit neatly into your handbag – giving you that smooth, full-bodied taste and rich aroma whenever and wherever you want it.

So with this in mind we’ve been street stalking looking for the most stylish and versatile bags to slip a couple of “stick packs” into whilst snapping some great pics to share with you guys.

After paying a visit to Carnaby Street and Convent Garden where we found a ton of black and tanned bags we moved on to Camden Passage hoping to find more unique offerings. Definitely a good decision!

Aside from the floral beauty (pictured above) we also spied a cute bowling bag embellished with a multi-coloured “car” print. Different and pretty cool may we add. See pic below.

Also on our hit list was A black and white checked bag. Oh and we love the way the owner has accessorised her outfit with the gorgeous brown hat. Quirky and fun!

We did also manage to find a couple of classic bags. Case in point – a dark green tote which we literally wanted to run away with and this lovely beige beauty.

Our next stop? Oxford Street and Bond Street!

OK, so moving swiftly on to part two of our street stalking activities in association with Kenco Millicano!

Regular readers of MFL will know that we’ve been hunting out the most stylish handbags in London all in the name of instant coffee. Oh yes, we do have tough job! *wink wink*

If you haven’t already heard, Kenco Millicano has revolutionised the concept of “coffee on the go” with the latest addition to their family titled “stick packs”. What exactly is a stick pack I hear you cry? Well it’s a cute box of ten individually wrapped servings that fit neatly into your handbag allowing even the busiest of women to indulge in a cup of coffee whenever they need a quick pick me up!

Naturally we’ve had a pack in our trusted Mulberry while roaming the streets in this dreadfully cold weather and it’s been perfect for keeping us awake and on the ball.

Part 1 saw us doing the rounds in Carnaby Street and for our second instalment we moved on to Convent Garden. Despite the horrendous weather (did we already mention this) we were lucky enough to find a number of very willing ladies (who we must say a big thank you to!) whom were kind enough to let us obsess over their bags.

Alright now on to our findings…

It’s very true that the handbag says a lot about the wearer. Busy women who need a lot from their bag were prone to the over-sized bag which we’ve seen in abundance. Just like Carnaby Street brown and black bags were super popular. We don’t see this trend fading anytime soon. The more stylish the outfit the more stylish the bag – case in point the lady in the image at the start of the post with the fab faux fur coat.

The most interesting item we found in a bag? Mario Puzo’s novel, The Godfather…..spotted in a lush tan rucksack.

But it was the animal print shoulder bag that really caught our eye. See the last pic in the post.

Stay tuned for part three. We’re now off to scoff a Danish with our Kenco Millicano!

Shoes or bags? Give us bags! We’re major bag lovers, so when we hit the streets of London of last week in association with Kenco Millicano in the search of the ultimate handbag we were literally in handbag heaven.

Understanding that we ladies are super busy and that our handbag literally is our life and contains everything that keeps us organised, Kenco Millicano has added an exciting new addition to its collection in the form of stick packs – a cute little box of ten individually wrapped servings that fit neatly into your handbag thus allowing you to have a cup of coffee whenever you want.

Sounds pretty cool right?

So in a bid to find the most stylish handbags perfect enough to hold Kenco Millicano’s “pick me up” stick packs, we made Carnaby street our first stop. Home to some of our favourite stores, we found a great mix of medium sized to over-sized bag wearers and mainly black and tanned bags (although we did find the odd colour…see the green bag above)
After quite a bit of stalking we also managed to track down a fan of the smaller bag. With a twist of vintage we had to take a pic of the cute multi-coloured bag below.

But the gorgeous cross over tanned satchel below was definitely one of our favourites from the day.

And what do we ladies carry in our bag? Lip gloss, gadgets, gum, personal diaries and notebooks.
Which is your fave? Tell us!
