Had some fun with a new sketch yesterday, one that i always wanted to do - a "What's in my handbag" one.
This little combo is, what i mostly have with me, when o go out these days:
A little light orange basket, kitted out with an even lighter fabric shopping bag and a small umbrella (it rains a LOT here).
And a handbag i found in my favorite shoestore
BURRESI. The handbag is not big, but magically, all i want to put in fits in, even a light coat or cardi, all the while it still feels light on my arm. It consists of brown quilted fabric material and colorful leather parts, and it helps to set a chic and playful accent to almost every outfit i have. In summer, it went well with white and brighter shades, in winter it adds some optimism and good mood to darker and neutral colors.
In the sketch, you see the things i carry in it:
- Some pens,
- a timer - handmade by a dear friend,
- my i-phone,
- my orange cell phone holder, filled with not my cell, but some make up items like a small
Dr. Hauschka Handcreme, 2 lipsticks, on in a very soft, peachy pink, on in a darker, berry pink,
When i'm in town, i always seem to walk a lot, so it's important, that my "luggage" is light and easy to carry. The basket is very practical in case i want to pick up some fruits or veggies on my way home, which i often do, and for additional purchases, the fabric bag comes in handy.
If you're a bag lady, like me, you might be interested to dwell a little in the Rue La La Style guide for
handbags. Care tips, a history of handbags and lots of info about our fave accessoire - have fun!
Meanwhile, i hope your week is moving along nicely and swiftly, leaving you time to enjoy the colorful leaves outside. See you soon for a hot cuppa something - and a little chat!
