Hi my gems! I don’t know about you but I love the feel of having a brand spankin’ new bag on my shoulders or, for the sake of GORGEOUS clutch bags, in my hands! I seem to have bad luck with bags that I love… Which happened to the satchel I bought from River Island. I did a blog post on it HERE. It broke a while back & I popped back into River Island to sort things out… I know I’m showing you VERY late but this is what I came back home with…

I got a gorgeous little bag which also doubles up as a clutch… But I NEVER thought I’d come out of River Island with a book!!

RRP: £12.99

This is more of a picture book rather than a story! It’s by Gisèle Scanlon who seems to be an EXPERT in many Goddess-like micro pleasures (well over 1000 actually!)  This little book is a guide to all the things she has experienced in her life which she loves & wants to share with the world. There are various sections inside which include fashion, shopping, travel, home, food, beauty & other things which make her happy & feeling like a GODDESS It’s a great girly read that’s for sure.

I thought I’d show you some of my favourite pages in the guide

This book has lots of websites, shop addresses that would tickle any girls fancy! I’m still in the process of finishing it but when I come across any AMAZING websites, I will be sure to let you know

YEP! She even has baking recipes in here! How SCRUMPTIOUS do those marble cupcakes look?!

There are some brands in the book which I’ve NEVER heard of, which is always good to know of (especially at a time like Christmas!) I absolutely love chunky rings so had to put this picture up It has definitely INSPIRED me to keep a note of all the micro pleasures in my life

RRP: £29.99

I didn’t want to get the Satchel again in case it broke so I went for a cute gold clutch! I’ve been looking for one of these for AGES & managed to find one as soon as I was going to give up! It’s gorgeous & shiny - I can’t wait to take it out The exterior is very strong & sturdy. I love these bags where you can have the strap out or even hide it inside… Best of both worlds I say

As you can see, my iPhone fits PERFECTLY inside & there’s plenty of room for my camera, cards, & some sneaky make-up bits & bobs too This is on offer for £15 at the mo - If you’re struggling to get your loved ones any presents for Christmas this is a FAB clutch!

I’m not sure if this is in all of their evening bags but I love, love, LOVE this quote which is secretly sewed inside the bag

Has everyone done their Christmas shopping? I hope you’re all having a fabulous weekend
