Happy Mothers Day

Everything good about me, came from my mom. If I can be half the mother that she is, I will consider Motherhood a success...

Wanderlust | ♥

wanderlust

noun

1. a strong desire to travel.

   "a man consumed by wanderlust"

I would love to travel the world. Unfortunately, my bank account says otherwise. I love scrolling through travel blogs especially on Tumblr and Instagram: spectacular landscapes, good food, great people, big smiles, picture perfections and amazing opportunities to travel the world. I, on the other hand, fall on the other side of that spectrum. I hardly travel and when I do, it's to visit family abroad. Don't get me wrong, family always comes first, but I dream of vacaying alone or maybe with the hubby (if he's lucky), away from all the nappy changes and troublesome tantrums, maybe in the white sandy beaches of Boracay or petting the tigers in Thailand. Just a quick getaway from my normal life - even if it's just for a day.

My Basic Handbag Essentials / Michael KORS Jet Set Medium Travel Tote Review

The contents of my bag can get pretty crazy when dealing with a toddler - Mc Donalds Happy Meal toys to random baby socks can be found hidden away in every nook'n'cranny by the end of the week. I hardly change or switch between bags therefore the never-ending pit of receipts, soviets and crayons can also be a bit embarrassing whenever I ask my friends/family to grab something from inside. If I have lost a specific shade from my MAC lipstick collection - it's most likely in there too.

I own the Michael KORS Jet Set Medium Saffiano Leather Tote which is surprisingly very big for a size medium. This stylishly-sleek and multi-funcational bag is such a classic and is the ultimate get-away tote for any occassion - to the beach, maybe a date with your boyfriend? Or how about a night on the town - enough space to keep your flats. The bag consists of three slots, all very spacious and ideal for on-the-go office workers or bloggers. (insert winking emoji ) a great accessory holder for laptops, books (nappies and wipes) and tablets. The middle part is the only zipped compartment (such a shame since it is the only downside for me) leaving your contents exposed. Therefore, I use the zipped area for my phone, wallet and other valuables. 

This bag retails for £250 and comes in various sizes and colours.

-Saffiano Leather
-Two Top Handles
-Interior Zip Divider, Interior Zip Pocket, Two Interior Pouch Pockets
-17 x 11.5 x 5"
-Compatible with with 12" Laptop -Open Top
-Fully Lined

MY BASIC HANDBAG ESSENTIALS

These are my basic bag essentials, believe me, my bag is never this tidy but for this particular post, I decided to de-clutter my dirty little secrets. I love large structured bags as I find it suits me more (being a plus-size and all) and also allows me to stuff a lot more unnecessary (but necessary) items such as three more lipsticks and an eyeshadow palette that I will never use throughout the day. #GirlProblems
