Your life according to your handbag

We love handbags, they look great, we can have different bags to suit our changing outfits as well as our changing moods and we keep EVERYTHING in them. Including some, all, or more of the following;

Trusty Handbag

Trusty Handbag

  • purses
  • mobile phones
  • make-up
  • hand cream/hairspray/other beauty products we cant live without
  • lip balm
  • diary
  • glasses/sunglasses
  • hair bobbles
  • magazines
  • deodorant
  • jewellery
  • cereal bars/sweets
  • MP3 player
  • loose change
  • chewing gum
  • pack of tissue
  • pen

The list goes on. Forever. But heavens knows, if we were ever to be whisked off our feet by a gorgeous man or (more likely) end up stranded somewhere due to poor transport/volcanic ash, we know that we have enough things in our handbag to keep us entertained and looking beautiful for ooh at least a couple of days!! So there you have it the reason women love handbags, they’re practical AND fashionable which is a combination that doesn’t happen very often! Saying that, even the most organised of women can have the most disorganised handbag. You might know such a know woman, she has an immaculately tidy house, a perfectly mowed front lawn and always looks great herself, but take a look in her handbag and you’ll find chaos, the true reflection of what’s happening inside a woman’s mind! Even if she does carry all of her things around in a designer ‘IT’ bag!

Maxi dress, minimum effort

Maxi Beach Dress

Maxi Beach Dress

If you’re not quite ready to bare all this season and the idea of having bare legs fills you with dread, then a maxi dress or skirt could be the perfect solution to your summer wardrobe dilemma. Maxis are great as they keep you covered up but allow you to stay cool on a hot day. They’re also great for those of us that don’t like to show too much skin in summer but still like to keep on trend. Maxi skirts are also a key look this season and will carry over to your winter wardrobe too as long hem lines are set to be a trend that is here to stay!

Jersey maxi dresses are simple and comfortable but we like a maxi dress with a print, like our maxi beach dress. The subtle shell print has just enough detail without being too bold and the cotton fabric is sure to keep you cool. With a cross over back, lace and bow detailing this dress is feminine without being too girlie. The full support and extra room to accommodate your boobs will ensure this dress is as comfortable to wear as it is enjoyable to wear and is just as good in the city as it is on the beach. Wear this dress with simple sandals and a denim waist coat at home or over a bikini on holiday. If you think you might try a maxi skirt then make it a simple one. Long skirts that are too fussy and have a lot of fabric to them won’t do anything for boobier girls. Instead opt for a simple print, worn with a plain top or colour block your whole outfit to keep it stylish.
