a mid week treat

Today I've welcomed a new bag into the fold. I saw it Mango, instore last week, I was rather taken with it but that little voice in my head said nah-ah......you've had a very spendy month lady!! Anyway, it was still on my mind a couple of days later so I took to a bit of frantic eBaying to scrape together the funds. I'm still trying to work on the basis of the one in, one out so I sold another black bag to make room for this one.


Mango studded cross body bag Also comes in tan & white


I used the bag the minute it was in my possession.......

And what really makes my heart sing is that it matches my favourite sandals!

Whilst I've been lusting over my prospective purchase online all week I've obviously come across another bag or two that have caught my eye.

Starting with a bit of animal print


Mango fur panel bag

I really love a metallic bag....this silver leather shopper is so perfect for spring/summer


Mango leather shopper

Last but not least....a pop of colour. This would work wonders for lifting some of my neutral transitional spring outfits and it's such a bargain at £19.99!


Mango studded bucket bag

Onto my outfit round-up from the other couple of days this week.


Jaeger sweater, past season similar here
H&M shirt, current similar here
H&M jeans, here
Converse, here


Topshop jacket, past season similar here
Bella Freud sweatshirt, spendy alternative here, save alternative here
Zara jeans, similar here
Superga, here
Gap bag, past season but love this Mango one here
H&M snood, similar here

Have you treated yourself to something lovely as a hump day treat? I would love to hear!

A quick update from my last post on the Topshop grey slouchy trews....they are here and I love them! I will be sporting them tomorrow weather permitting.

Back at the weekend with a few other things that have caught my eye.

      I daren't say that's me for this month....famous last words and all that! How gorgeous are those Topshop sandals?! If I didn't have my KG Kad's the Toppers Nora would be winging their way to me and adding to my shopping woes! Glad to be of service Sue! :0) xx

    Aww loving that bag Michelle. I spotted it on your IG feed and thought ooh - when did that one pop in to the wardrobe! It's lovely - good choice! I think we're both going bag crazy at the moment.

      Do you know Sue......I wish I'd just bought it when I first saw it! It is totally brilliant! Great size for everyday, really good, strong metallic clasp means it feels really safe and it goes with everything! The fact it's perfect with the Kads is just the cherry on the cake! xx

    Love that! I was in Mango in Barcelona Duty Free last night ... the difference in prices would make you weep - it was all practically free!!! But no, didn't buy anything as was on limited luggage allowance :(

      Oh no! I'd have been gutted not to buy anything! :0( I do like to stock up on a bit of Zara and Mango when I'm away as the exchange rate is so good! There are so many lovely things in Mango at the moment....that must have been hard to resist! xx

      Thanks Frances! I've had such a spendy month that there was no other I could justify it unless I eBayed something! Luckily I made a little bit more than I expected....needless to say though that's already been spent too! ;0) xx
