CLUTCH COLLECTION











Black, grey and silver sequinned overlap clutch- MATALAN
This is a great clutch for those more dressier evenings and because of the many shades of black, grey and silver it will match any outfit. The size is also perfect as you can get your main necessities in without the clutch looking bulky.

Colourful beaded overlap clutch- MATALAN
I bought this clutch at the same time as the one above because of an offer! Yes I know, I have an unhealthy relationship with discounts but how could I resist. This particular one is so versatile due to the different colours but it's also good to wear as a bold statement piece or if you want to wear it as clash accessory against other coloured clothes. I love this bag because it looks so different to other clutches that I have seen before, it's so simple yet so unique and pretty.

Zipped Wallet in Black and Orange- WHISTLES
I love this bag so much I've got it in two colours! These two Whistles wallets are usually used as a purse or bag storage for important documents but sometimes I can't help using it as a clutch because of the detail and size. This is great clutch if you want a simple bag just to wear as an accessory and not as a statement.

Black satin and silver hardware clutch- LK BENNETT
This clutch is definitely used as a formal event bag because of the classic shape, material and colour. How can you go wrong with black and silver?! The satin material also adds quality to the bag and outfit which is perfect if you want your outfit to say sophistication. 

Black oversized and overlap leather bag- TK MAXX
Ahhh this bag! I don't think i've ever used a bag so much in my life. This was definitely my go to clutch whilst I was at University, purely because it was so big! I could fit pretty much anything in it; my makeup, perfume, money and anything else I wanted. It also has black hardware, what more could I want?! I love black hardware because I hate feeling like I am forced to wear either gold or silver jewellery and you know how much I love my silver.

Black leather oversized and overlap rolled bag- HELLO PARRY
This oversized bag is probably my favourite clutch right now. I love the detail to this clutch, the way it double rolls over to create a kind of handle is so ideal and cooooll. Yes I'm emphasising cool. The one personal issue I have with this bag is it's gold hardware and there is something I just don't like about gold. However what makes me still love this bag is the fact you cannot see it when it's rolled over, so that's justifiable right?.   

Neon Green/ yellow zipped clutch- KURT GEIGER
I received this clutch as a present when I was caught lusting at it for ages. It is a bright neon colour; something I don't usually wear but there is something about it that I love, maybe its the black and silver zip or the size and shape but whatever it is I love it.

My Two Favourites Right Now



If you're looking for a cleanser that hydrates your face as well as dissolves your makeup I would definitely recommend this product. It is so light and refreshing on the skin and you actually wake up with that baby soft skin!



Since purchasing this balm with the Space NK goodie bag it has not left my side! It's the perfect hand cream for hardworking dry hands as it leaves them feeling hydrated and smelling of lavender. The best thing about it though is it does not leave the hands greasy. WIN!
