A New Teddy Blake Bag - Chic & Stylish Linkup

Hi there. 

Hope you’re all okay. 

Apologies again for a late post, life is so busy at the moment and I’m finding it hard to get everything finished!

In-between seeing the grandkids, going to my gym classes, doing my housework and ironing/cleaning the AirBnb I’ve been looking after my son’s dog. We’ve got Hallie for a week and it’s been lovely. She’s such a good dog and like most doggies doesn’t want much. I’ve been walking her every day which has been really nice. That’s one of the things I’ve missed since losing my little Candy and Roxy but I’m still not replacing them any time soon. Dogs are such a tie aren’t they!

I met an old friend today, she emigrated to Oz about 17 years ago and although I’ve seen her twice since she left it was lovely to catch up again. We went to a local pub with some other friends and had a super lunch washed down with a glass of spritz. Time soon ran away with us and we had to draw the lunch to a close before all of us headed off in different directions but I have to admit our chats were just like old days and ran smoothly as if we’d never changed! I had a delicious Caesar Salad which was just the right amount, I always cook in the evenings so didn’t want to have two meals! That would be greedy and would have filled me uncomfortably up!

Let’s talk bags. I have plenty hanging in my wardrobe but am always partial to a new style and this beauty touched a nerve, a nice one and I had to have it!

Items marked with * have been gifted to me, however these are 100% my own honest comments. 

So tassels, do you like them?

I love any sort of fancy detail like tassels, frills and chains so when I spotted the Aria from Teddy Blake * I knew it would be a welcomed addition and would look pretty fantastic on my arm. 🖤

The Aria is a good size, it’s what I’d call regular and can fit the usual crap I like to carry. My purse, phone, pack of tissues, lipstick and lip balm. I also need to store car keys too, anything else is a bonus!

I also love the one handle, which is a good length to carry both on the shoulder and left hanging loose. It’s not a bag I would carry across my body either, especially as the extra tassels on the sides create lots of volume, I don’t want to make myself look bigger and anyway hanging down is much more sophisticated isn’t it.

If black isn’t your colour what about a classic cream or wine red, both of these are equally as nice and will complement so many outfits, or take a look at the Teddy Blake website for some eye-catching beauties. 

See my other charming bags here is a pink one, here’s my white cutout beauty and this tan bag here. 

If I say the outfit came to life as a result of items sitting next to each other then that’s the truth, I grabbed this full skirt and next to it was the little red top - both from Primark, and the sandals were laying under them and everything just worked. I added the scarf and although I need to add more square neckerchiefs to my collection, thought this long tie worked quite well. I’ve had this one for ever and love the look the chiffon scarf produced.
