Cambridge Satchel 15"

So I did a bad thing.. I bought another bag!
Once again, it's a structured satchel, this time I got it from the Cambridge Satchel Company and it is b-e-a-utiful! I really am so pleased with the quality and size of the bag. It's a 15" in the colour Vintage and it has my initials embossed on the front. I ordered the bag exactly a week ago, and it arrived yesterday, so I am incredibly impressed! The company suggested a manufacturing time of two weeks, even before it was shipped, so you can imagine my surprise when the bag arrived on my doorstep yesterday! It cost me £114 + shipping which equated to roughly $204, which is a little pricey, but I think this bag will last a really really long time. So I've kind of justified it to myself.

Kikki K Time Planner: Cute - Review

Hey there!

I've always been someone who got overly excited over stationary. I compulsively overbuy. Even with items like sticky-notes. They take FOREVER to finish, and I have backups for backups. It's ridiculous. But I digress.

This year, I decided to eschew from purchasing a pricey leather Kikki K week at a glance diary like I usually do, and instead, purchased a Kikki K planner (Did I mention they're the same price?).

Isn't it marvellous? I have only one major problem with it, and it's this: It's a little embarrassing to take out in the middle of university. It's a problem I didn't foresee. I have no problem flashing this about in public.. but there's just something about being in close quarters with snobby intellectuals and hipsters that makes me cringe when I have to get this baby out. But: external appearance aside, I love it!

Jendi Double Strap Small Satchel

Hey there!

I ordered the Jendi Double Strap Small Satchel recently and it arrived today! I'm so pleased with it! It's the perfect everyday kind of bag, since I'm really not to the type to carry a million things inside my everyday bag. However, especially because I live in Australia, it is a little annoying that I can't carry a book AND a water bottle on really hot days.

The fact that it has a long strap though does make it super versatile, and I think it will be the perfect festival bag as it is quite thin, and the main compartment has a zipper to ensure everything is really secure.

It's not real leather, but it feels to soft, and it cost $59.95 off the Iconic website, however I did get $10 off due to a UNIDAYS discount, so it wasn't too expensive! It's this lovely worn brown which is so beautiful and I love how secure it is!
Measurements: H21cm x W28cm x D9cm. Strap Drop: 55cm.
