Hello Bank Holiday weekend and hello May! As we speak, I’m travelling to sunny Brighton to a hen do this weekend, although the sun doesn’t seem to be wearing his hat today…hmm.

This floral offering from Boden is £49, includes leather handles, internal pocket and magnetic snap fastener; a perfect beach accessory for all your seaside essentials. You like?…

Via Tori Murphy (£52) It’s black, it’s white. It’s tote of the week! Which of course means Friday has landed. Hurrah! The weekend plans so far include Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Manchester, a little home DIY, roller skating, taking photographs for upcoming blog posts and watching Blade Runner on the big screen (I LOVE Harrison Ford). I’m hoping I’ll get a couple of naps in there too. Ah, sweet sleep. What do you have planned? Happy weekend! P.S On the…

Tote of the Week: Allotment Mud by Betty & Walter
Allotment Mud Tote Bag Via Betty & Walter (£48) Do you think this tote bag from Betty & Walter can count as part of my five-a-day? No? Oh well. There are many other reasons why the Allotment Mud Tote is Tote Of The Week! Firstly, its design is inspired by the illustrations from a 60s cookbook (I love old recipe books). Aren’t the vegetable silhouettes charming? Secondly, next year we’re sharing a greenhouse and allotment with our neighbours so we…

Tote of the Week: Trick or Treat Halloween Bag by Hannah Stevens
I have super fond memories of Halloween. That’s right, not just fond, SUPER fond. We didn’t wear fancy costumes due to lack of funds, only black bin bags fashioned into witches outfits, but our Halloween spirit was with us in force. We went trick or treating only on the roads and streets we knew well, and told each other ghost stories whilst making witch-like cackling noises (I’m a pro to this day). It was fun, harmless and celebratory of all things dark…

Tote of the Week: Lemon Slice Tote Bag by Skinny laMinx
Skinny laMinx tote bag (£22) via NOTHS Even though I’ve been wearing tights the last couple of days and a proper coat, I’m still optimistic that there’s plenty of time left to wear summer inspired clothing and accessories. Indian summer, anyone? This screen printed tote bag is a little ray of sunshine for pattern and colour lovers out there, made from a cotton/linen blend. It’s the type of tote that cheers any outfit and would make a superb gift too, especially if…

Tote of the Week and Giveaway: Jessica Zoob
Happy Friday folks! I don’t know about you but I can’t wait for the weekend ahead and spending some quality time relaxing with the OH. It’s been a busy week for us both so I’m looking forward to breakfast in bed tomorrow, reading my book, seeing family, watching Boyhood and perhaps going for a walk in this lovely town of ours. Or I might just watch a considerable amount of The X-Files, time will tell. Anyhoo! It’s tote bag time and this week’s offering…

Tote of the Week: Large Slouch bags by Tove Johansson
Via Tea and Kate Another week has passed and we have one more May Bank Holiday to celebrate – hurrah! I’d love for it to be full of sunshine but to be honest if it’s grey and miserable it gives me an excuse to read and write and quietly potter with jobs around the house. Grand. My week was a good one. Busy, but good. I received a lovely phone call from a client who was overjoyed with the copywriting…

Tote of the Week: Up In The Clouds by Bread and Jam
I’m finishing this week with what I think is a damaged nerve in my back. Sharp sudden bursts of pain when I laugh, twist, and stretch? Best not laugh, twist or stretch then, eh? I can walk though so it aint all bad. Dosed up on pain killers, I reckon I’ll be somewhat away with the fairies today so this tote by Bread and Jam reflects my hopefully temporary state. I’m looking forward to the weekend with glee, mainly because it will involve…

Tote of the Week: Ta-Da! Bag by Alphabet Bags
Ta-da! tote bag by Alphabet Bags A super quick post today whilst I’m heading to Leeds for the London train – choo choo! Excuse my excitement, I get ridiculously giddy travelling on trains, more than anyone should really. Ahem. Anyway, I’m carrying my sturdy leather tote with me today as it’s not the best weather for the humble cotton tote bag. If the sun was shining however I’d be all over this Ta-da tote bag from the always awesome, Alphabet Bags.…
