zip bag

With the weather having been beautiful for the last few days (albeit very chilly!) it's getting me really excited for spring to arrive, and eventually the summer sun! One of the things I love most about spring is that I can wear floral prints and pastel colours without feeling out of place. Admittedly I still wear florals in winter, but it's not quite right is it? I'm sure you're all well aware that the majority of my wardrobe consists of floral tea dresses so I cannot wait to start wearing them all more often!



In keeping with the floral theme, I have a beautiful new handbag to show off to you! This was very kindly sent to me from Lifestyle Boutique who stock an enormous range of pretty things on their website! This bag is the Cath Kidston Large Zip Bag in the brand new Daisy Rose print. 

I've been using this bag non stop since I've received it, as it's so large! Since summer is approaching and I have a whole stone to shift, I find it perfect to take to the gym with me. I can fit in my trainers, towel, water etc all inside, with lots room to spare! It's also much more attractive than a smelly old sports bag! I also wear an oversized CK tshirt to the gym with leggings.. they must think I've fallen out of the ditsy tree!

The large bag is made from a really durable, strong, and water resistant oilcloth fabric. I have a Cath Kidston tote bag too which I actually use as a laptop bag, and I've been using it for years and it still looks brand new! The oilcloth fabric can be wiped clean to keep it in perfect condition. 

 

The Daisy Rose pattern is set onto a navy blue background, and it has spray burst of pretty rose and daisy (of course!) bouquets all over. It's such a pretty design, and I like that it's on a dark background as it makes it a big more 'serious' than just a pretty girly bag! 

It's also very practicle because of it's large size, as well as its internal pocket and secure zip fastening, making it perfect for everyday use. The long handles fit snugly over the shoulder too, and they're sewn into the base of the bag rather than at the top (ever had a handbags handle decide to break off at the wrong time?!) which keeps it very secure.

Room for all my gym kit.. and space for more!

The quality of this bag is just amazing. And I bet you can't guess the price... this big, excellent qualityCath Kidston bag is only £30! In comparison to some other CK bags, this price is fantastic in my opinion and worth every penny! I'm sure that this bag will last me many, many years to come, and so I think it's a very worthwhile investment. And florals never go out of fashion, right?

You can purchase this bag from the Lifestyle Boutique, as well as a huge range of other gorgeous products (perfect one stop gift shop!). They offer free gift wrapping in pretty blue paper on every order (saving you lots of time and hassle!), and free delivery on orders over £30!
