Favorite hight street handbags of the moment!!

Of course we all don't want to folk out loads of money for designer handbags all the time so I decided to show you some of my favourite picks from the high street at the moment!

All Saints Kita Rucksack
Now who doesn't love a rucksack? All saints have killed it with this bag! So easy to wear, effortlessly and chic anyone could rock this bag. Not only being able to wear it as a rucksack you can also wear it as an shoulder bag, This could come in so handy and could dress up or down with any outfit. Its a great size and you could fit the whole world in this bag. This bag retails for £328 which is quite pricy for the high street, but this bag would be one to keep in your collection forever. Also All Saints leather is gorgeous!

Zara quilted cross body bag with scarf 
Zara has totally got this bag right! This bag is a great one to have in your collection, its super basic and would go with anything. I love how Zara have used the scarf detailing in this it makes the bag look more expensive and super cute. This bag retails for £22.99 which is an absolute bargain and you just couldn't got wrong with this one!

Whistles Hamil Unlined Stud Tote
I have always loved Whistles bags they just do them so right! When I first saw the Hamil bag I fell in love. This is the perfect tote, I just love the simplicity, this would be one to keep in your collection forever. This bag has two handles each side just to make it a little bit different to the standard tote, it also comes with an internal pouch and a slip pocket which is great for organising. This bag retails for £195 which is a great price for a classic bag that you will use forever.

COS Soft leather shoulder bag
Cos always slay the bag game, they can make the simplest bag look so classic and yet so stylish. Using soft grained leather and raw cut edges it gives this bag a distressed but yet still very structured look. This bag is perfect for any occasion and is a great size for a cross body bag. This bag retails for £69 which is a great price for something that would go with anything.

Handbag wishlist for 2017!

Here's a few of the bags I'm dying to get my hands on in 2017.

Louis Vuitton Palm Springs backpack mini

I first saw this bag on the 'thepersianbabe's' youtube channel and omg I fell in love. It is quite unusual and not everyones cup of tea but I love it. I wasn't sure on it at first but as soon as I saw her wear it I just thought that has got be mine. This would look so cute in summer and would go with any outfit, it kinda has a retro vibe but at the same time looks so modern. This bag retails for £1,300 and I have heard they are quite hard to find so start looking now.


Saint Laurent Monogram medium leather shoulder bag

I have been eyeing this bag up for quite a while now and everyone seems to have one. Im off to Las vegas in September and I thought this would be the perfect evening bag. It's a great investment piece, this will go with everything and Saint Laurent always make their bags looks so classic and effortless. This bag retails for £1,245 which is a bit pricey but this will be one to keep in your collection forever.

Fendi Peekaboo Medium tote

So I have be dying for one of these for ages but sadly I just haven't been able to get my hands on one. Fendi is one of my fav designer brands and their peekaboo bags are just a dream! Having the one handle makes them look so classic but yet so modern. Fendi are also know for adding garish patterns to their bags which make them so versatile and different. This bag retails for around £2,660 + depending on the leather which is quite expensive, but hey who doesn't love a Fendi?? 

Prada wallet on a chain

Now this is one for you guys that aren't looking to spend a lot on a bag but are looking for something classic and can wear to death. I fell in love with this bag when browsing on net-a-porter it is just the cutest bag ever. This can be used as clutch or a shoulder bag so this is great from day to night and would look perfect with any outfit. This bag retails for around £820 which is an absolute bargain! It doesn't get any better then that.

Buying your first designer bag!

I wanna write this post because in 2015 I brought my first designer bag. I honestly didn't have a clue where to start and I remember reading blog posts just saying the same old things but since buying my first bag I have come up with some amazing tips that totally helped me along the way!

1. Watch youtube videos
Now I never actually did this till I had actually brought my first designer handbag but omg this deffo would of come in handy. Watch unboxing of the bags you a interested in, try and find reviews, first impressions and handbag collections videos anything like this can change the way you look at a bag. This will definitely give you an idea of how the bag will wear to the pro and the cons of the bag. Its also really good to hear other peoples opinions on the bag.

2. Go and see the bag in person 

Buying online might be the most practical and easy way to get the bag you want, but there is nothing like going to the shop to get it. This is going to be a big moment in your life that you'll never want to forget if you are an avid bag lover like me. You will  also get to see the bag in person this may change your opinion completely about the bag but if your like me you'll probs just want it even more!

3. Pick a classic style and colour 

I know I know you've heard it all before but honestly do you really wanna be paying out loads of money for a bag you will never wear? 

4. When to buy?

Buy as soon a possible every year bag prices are going up! So why wait? Some channel bags are nearly 3 times the price as they were six years ago!!! 

5. Wearing it to death!
You obviously have to pick a bag you are going to wear to death. I have always thought no matter what the price I will wear my first designer bag everyday. There is no point spending loads of money on a bag that will just live in a box!


Have fun spending!
