Shopping For: The Bag

With all this recession malarkey it has become increasingly hard to justify buying a new handbag on a 72-hourly basis. My bank manager/my father is not convinced that I really need this many bags when I'm living on an Island...Well, if my own father doesn't understand me, then who can you trust these days?

The last few days have felt like the end of the world for me, with all sorts of unnerving and hyperventilation inducing news flying around (I think my boyfriend has a new girlfriend), you know, that sort of thing.

I cried, a lot. Then I thought enough is enough, and decided that when I go back to the mainland I will need to buy a new bag, so I've decided to do some topic related research.

I need something that reflects my personality perfectly. I am a Gemini, so The Bag must reflect my dual personality...

Balenciaga Giant 21 Rose Gold Velo Anthracite - "I'm super Rock & Roll chic, yet conservative"

Del Rey Black Ostrich - OK, I've been holding out on the Del Rey craze as long as I could (partially because I'm not sure if Lana is an alien or not) - but this is super chic. 

Givenchy Nightingale - Dark, very dark, but totes glam

Victoria Beckham Leather Tote - at first gives an impression that you're a well mentally-balanced individual, but in reality a total control freak and have a multiple personality disorder

Alexander Wang Diego - bit of a wild-card...but! Red, studs, a perfect shape to sneak a bottle of Veuve Clicquot into a breakfast meeting
