About Me
You might have noticed the absence of handbags from my wardrobe. This is because I don't do handbags.
Since my work requires me to carry a laptop most of the time, and my preferred transport is a bicycle, a handbag is simply not a practical option. I carry a plain black backpack to work (the sight of a well dressed woman on a bike with a backpack is commonplace around here) a nylon holdall to the gym, and a hessian shopper to the supermarket. On other occasions, when I really can't do without, I carry a plain black leather tote with silver studs from T K Maxx, chosen for me by my sister who was only too happy to help me around my fashion blind spot. But I am happiest when I can put keys, cash, phone and lipstick into my pockets and go about unencumbered.
I realize this will sound to many people here like fashion heresy, but I figure if that's good enough for Carine Roitfeld, then it's got to be good enough for me.
