Boston! Spent this weekend there hanging out with my friend Daria. I layered up in two pairs of leggings and two grey jumpers over my leopard sheer dress (seen before here with wedges). You’ve seen Daria before in this post taken at Woodstock in the summer last year. Notice that we both love vintage Coach bags and beat up boots.

I think I just found one of my best bags ever. This bright kelly green leather satchel purchased from the UK over the phone. Let me tell you. This is even more gorgeous in person. Daria let me know if you cave and get the yellow.

If you lot order one, I find it’s faster with a quick phone call to them for some reason. Via the internet is not so quick. Shipping was mega fast too (I upgraded to a larger size and it arrived the next day).

    Hey, I thought you had a big giveaway for that dress and mentioned someone won after you did a random pick of comments?? So many of us really loved that dress and hoped to have won it, and it looks FAB on you, by the way! So whatever happened to the winner of the dress?

  44. Karen says:

    inside my head/wardrobe – customer service was excellent for me but I think it might be because I called them. The bag 1st sent was too small (my fault) and they IMMEDIATELY sent out the bigger size. I think they respond faster via phone.

    Thx everyone. I think the yellow and red are my next favourites.

    this bag gets A TON OF COMPLIMENTS. It’s TDF.

  45. mickey Vin says:

    I love you guys bag esp yours, and the shoes your friend is wearing

  46. Karen says:

    this green satchel is amazing! I was thinking about getting the black one. Is it too heavy?

  49. NRC says:

    Love the skirt might do a DIY, I’ll let you know if I do.
    Love the random greenness of the satchel!

  50. Hostess rimini says:

    You are a looking so beautiful, cool collection of photos….

  51. Karen says:

    HI Karen – no its not that heavy at all!!!

    NRC – yes I love the randomness of the colour too. It pops against anything so doesn’t ‘go; with anything. Perfect. Just how I like it.

  52. Connie says:

    Love the colour of the Cambridge Satchel Company clutch.

  53. Sia says:

    The colour of that bag is amazing!! You rock is well,love Sia x

  55. Anonymous says:

    Agreed with someone above. these colours do not all go together. the bag does not go with that look. Why is there an image of you eating?

  56. Karen says:

    Anon – there is an image of me eating because I WANTED it there. As for the colours, that’s definitely an each to his own thing.

    Personally, I’m more than happy with it : )))

  58. SpotlessMind says:

    what a lovely outfit! it’s all over cool – i love the bag, the skirt and the oversized sweater!
    really amazing!!

    love, isa

  62. Nici says:

    I really like your blog, great pictures! 🙂

  64. Karen says:

    Inside my head and wardrobe – I’ve read that but for me it was fab. But then again I called them up instead of ordering online. Even though it was an overseas call, they took the order in like 5 minutes and the satchel arrived approx 4 days later!

    Can’t beat that.
