Hot off the Press - Goodie Bag Winner

Thanks to all of you who shared with me the items of your desires in this week's Goodie Bag contest! There were certainly a lot of items there to drool for.

My shopping habits quite clearly indicate that I'm one of those people who loves a bargain. I very rarely spend more than £40 (mostly under £20) on any item of clothing, and especially my bags are quite cheap and cheerful. I think it stems from the fact that my tastes are quite fickle and I like to mix colours and styles up on daily basis. Hence I'd rather have a wardrobe full of different coloured and shaped bag options, rather than that one expensive staple that I would then feel obliged to use each and every day. Having said that, I do sometimes longingly eye out better quality handbags. I definitely see the attraction of quality materials and build. Even though I could never part with so much cash as to own a proper 'designer' handbag, I have been thinking about someday investing into a mid-range, good quality, leather bag. Here's the rub though, once you're thinking of dishing out over £100 for one single bag, it needs to be the right bag, and I'm not sure I could find one that was clearly better than others. There are so many different styles and colours that please my eye and would go with different things, that it would be literally impossible for me to choose. Here are a few examples that eye wouldn't mind carrying on my arm.

• Mogil Flamingo Bag £165.
• Jaya Accessorize Marilyn Bag £130.
• Matt & Nat Vegan Leather Jorja Bag £120.
• Mischa Barton Leather Flap-Over Shoulder Bag £145.

But I couldn't even make my mind up between those four! What are the chances of me ever settling on one perfect bag out of the gazillion that are out there? So yes, I think I'll probably just carry on with my H&M / eBay bulk buying, at least that way I won't ever have to make my mind up!

And now for the fanfare. The winner of this week's Goodie Bag was drawn randomly, and this time lady luck smiled on may! Congratulations! :) (p.s. Can you please email me your address so I can post your goodies to you.)
