Rachael Ruddick Clutch

When I saw this clutch in a magazine a few days back I instantly fell in love. Maybe it's the size, maybe it's the colour, maybe it's the texture, who knows? (and who cares!) all I know is that it would look spectacular on me.

It's the Castlereagh clutch in Lilac Grey Parrotfish and can be found online here.

Handbag hangers

The dilemma when out and about is what to do with your handbag. Do you sit in on the table where is takes up room? Do you place it over your chair where it risks walking? Do you place it on the floor, to get scuffed and dirty? There's a cute and efficient answer - the handbag hanger!

Your biggest dilemma will be what style and then what design.

This is the style I have been using for gifts, as it's compact and less likely to snag on something.

This is the style I own, which is easy to use, but can get caught on items or pockets in you're bag.

Kate Spade Handbags

While most women have a collection of shoes, I seem to have a collection of handbags. Ahh, we all must have our vices I guess!

Until recently I hadn't even heard of Kate Spade, I don't know what planet I was living on, or what actually got me initially attracted, but on my visit to Princeton in May 2010, I decided I just had to have one.

The problem is which Kate Spade do I want/like/need the most? Do I go for a leather or one in fabric? Once I've made that choice, what colour? Red, black, gold, yellow? Then onto style, do I need it for a weekend of the beach, work, that bridal shower or for running errands? What is a girl to do?

Below is the two beauties I have on order (I did have it down to four, but (un)luckily they ran out of the other two before I made my payment....
