You can’t possibly take your handbag to the beach, so thank goodness for all the basket bags, string bags and beaded bags doing the rounds this season. I’ve selected a few favourites in my Basket Case Edit. Beach setting not compulsory, but they’d definitely enjoy a sandy outing.

Hand luggage only? Prep your beauty kit for your carry-on.
Hurrah, I am finally going on holiday. I usually make a yearly pilgrimage to my aunt and uncle’s home in Southern Spain, and to keep costs low I travel with hand luggage only. But this does tend to thwart a gal’s beauty kit, especially if you’re a product junkie like I am. I have thrown […]
The Hemingway Day. Chills.

Echo.
Today’s Photography101 task… to capture ‘Bliss’. Echo. The silent canyon captured every grinding footstep and threw them back with avidity.
Hunger.
