I’ve
been hovering around the blogosphere for months now. Stalking almost. Becoming
immersed in the culture, the style (oh, the style) and subjecting my poor bank
account to rigorous workouts in an effort to keep up and emulate what I’ve
seen. Of course it was only a matter of time before I tried dipping my toe in,
which I have at times, and other times chickened out. But then I found an
excuse to really push myself and dive right in at the deep end.
Dundrum Town Centre have announced an incredible competition in
search for their own “Blogger in Residence”, and with that amazing opportunity
comes a Prize “Vault” full of Must-Haves and Do-Wants! For the first round
we’ve been asked to choose one item from the prize vault and write a 150-word
blog post about one fashion must-have we couldn’t live without it – so if I was
to pick one thing out of this treasure trove I would have to go for the
handbag. So here goes nothing!
Ode
to a Handbag
 |
If there’s one thing I can’t do without it's a handbag, and a sizable one
at that! While I have reigned in my oversized habits, I still manage to carry
an alarming amount of stuff around but believe me from hairclips, make-up, books,
pills and potions I’ll need them all at some point.
Coco Chanel said “Elegance does not consist in putting on a new
dress”, I’d like to think a great handbag plays a role too.
Let's not forget how our trusted handbags are fashionable as well as
practical. Be it a clutch, tote or a satchel, that pop of colour, extra embellishment,
or a knowing nod to a trend - I can rely on it to keep me both organized (albeit
organized chaos) and fabulous.
Shoes may not always be comfortable, you can’t wear a fur coat in
summer; but you’ll never go wrong with a good bag.
