I’ve been a mum for just over 8 years now and like a lot of mums, paying the bills and providing for my children has always been my priority when it came to what I spent my money on. I have always admired designer labels from a far but instead of shopping at Prada, I would shop at Primark and find items that looked elegant and glamorous with a much, much, much cheaper price tag!
I was a housewife for a few years and then I got a part time job before recently taking a full time corporate role and to celebrate I decided to treat myself to a new Michael Kors handbag! #Exciting
My friend who has a huge designer handbag and shoe collection already, came along with me and I was pleased to discover that they had a sale on!
At the Michael Kors store on Regents Street, London, I got myself the Dillon Top Zip Satchet handbag in Black that was originally priced at around £390 or was it…. £410….? (I’ve forgotten the exact price) but it was now half of that price and I got it for £197!!
I just love this bag!
It is strong and sturdy and a perfect size that fits just enough in without tempting you to squeeze in your kitchen sink (something which I usually do but I am determined not to with this bag! I am determined to keep this bag clutter free and only carry around my absolute essentials!!) It also came with a separate strap so I can wear it either on my wrist, arm or over my shoulder!
Excitingly whilst there, my friend treated me to a new purse too as a belated birthday present!
I couldn’t believe it, I am so lucky!!
They didn’t have this design in the black so I went for this beautiful beige colour instead and what I love about this purse is that it can also pass for a clutch bag too:
I am so pleased with my Michael Kors items!!
I chose the classic design for both items rather than the more on trend designs because I feel that they will go with so many clothes in my wardrobe and will last a long time!
Do you like?
I think that I may slowly get the bug for buying designer handbags now but only once in a while… maybe.. I think so..
Let me know your thoughts in the comments below and I’ll look forward to reading and replying to them!

I love your purchases. In the first picture, the bag looks blue and in the second, black. Either way, it’s a beautiful bag. The purse (wallet in the States) is lovely, too. When you’re always watching your money, buying the occasional nice thing is thrilling. It’s probably more exciting than if you buy expensive things all the time. Enjoy your bag and purse!
