I think by now we have all stumbled across the term "basic b*tch" and as much as I hate to admit it I do fall into this category on ONE occasion only...
...my handbag taste...
Oh how I love my basic b*tch handbags, these girls are on point with their make up and style, a little too perfect for me, I'm a bit more boyish (lazy) in my style, but I am the biggest and most fierce girly girl when it comes to my love for handbags.
Annnnnd, maybe also UGG boots (they're just so damn comfortable) and Starbucks, but I draw the line after that I swear!
Today I wanted to share with you my top 8 desired basic b*tch handbags and an advance warning...
I do have an unnatural obsession with Louis Vuitton, who doesn't?
1. Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM in Rose Ballerine.
This bag, this bag, oh my goodness this bag. The colour of the interior is so beautiful, not in this picture but in real life, seriously gorgeous. This however is not a bag that I have on my to buy list and only because I'm quite small and I feel this bag may be a bit too big for me, if they did this colour-way on the PM size, giiirl, trust me I would be snapping it up and quickly!
2. Louis Vuitton Speedy 30.
Now this is a bag I am seriously considering purchasing, it is the basic of all basics out there but it is a true classic. The design that all who are obsessed with handbags and Louis Vuitton covet, it is simply an essential in any Louis Vuitton collection.
3. Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere 30.
The less basic and more practical of the two Speedy's, this is the competition for the Speedy 30 for me for 2 reasons;
1. The strap, any avid Louis Vuitton window shopper will know, that the strap for a Louis Vuitton is of course relatively expensive so to get a neutral one essentially for free that you can use on your other LV purchases is perfect. Plus the regular speedy doesn't look particularly flattering with a strap because it's intended to be a top handle bag. (There is nothing more basic than attaching the straps to the links on the top handles, it makes me cringe so much! I remember this issue with Pauls Boutique bags, plus c'mon guys it ruins the shape!)
2. In my opinion this bag is just a little more elegant than the speedy, it looks waaaaay more finished and mature. This is the speedy superior.
4. GIVENCHY Antigona.
Oh the beauty, so understated, so demure, so luxurious. It's highly likely I will never be able to afford this bag and I don't do fakes full stop. This will never be my arm candy but will forever be my eye candy.
5. MICHAEL KORS Jet Set Travel medium saffiano leather tote.
I still want this bag, I have eyed it for years, and I think I'm going to buy it, I've been wishing for it for long enough, its just such a great bag! I love saffiano leather, I love how simple it is, I love that you can get it in such an array of colours and I love that it is an affordable high end product.
6. MICHAEL KORS Selma large Saffiano leather satchel.
Another classic from Michael Kors, originally I preferred this to the jet set, I have had a change of heart as I have changed a lot in the time I have been wishing for this bag, but it is still a bag I would like to add to my collection at some point. It's perfect for work and it looks damn good too!
7. Longchamp Le Pliage Neo large shopper.
I own this bag and I will continue to repurchase from Longchamp for as long as I live, the bags are lightweight, fold-able, durable, waterproof, easy on the eye and surprisingly spacious, think Mary Poppins, I'm deadly serious. The only thing that bugs me is the zipper, I carry on my right shoulder which means the zipper pull is behind me unless I wear this piece backwards, considering I live in London I would feel a lot more comfortable with the zipper being at my front whilst still being able to show off my beautiful handbag. I have had this specific bag for 1 year and 4 months, I use it 70% of the time and it looks like its been used maybe 4-5 times, these bags are heavyweight champions of durability.
8. LONGCHAMP Le Pliage small shopper in black.
Another bag I own and will repurchase. My mum actually gave me this bag and her friend gave it to her. This bag has survived 3 people and a fair few years of use, I have had this for about 4-5 years, I think my mum had it for a few years before I nagged her enough into giving it to me. It has held up well, the corners have gone and its a bit scuffed but it still looks decent considering how much it has been chucked around. It's been raving (clubbing), abroad, work, college its been thrown around, its even been used as an 'I'm running away!' bag. I still use this albeit less frequently than my other Longchamp but again, these bags are built to last.
I miss le champion bag! She also did festivals - the small interior pocket is big enough for your keys cards and phone. The rest of the bag is surprisingly flexible whilst being sturdy,it's easy to keep it organised.
