Something For Me!

I mentioned in a previous post that I have always loved Valentine's day and I think that I have been lucky enough to never be one who worries about getting or not getting a valentine. I know some people really hate the "Clinton" effect of it becoming a huge marketing affair where you can throw money at silly things, making grand gestures that just don't need to be made. Well, I honestly don't think like that, It is simply another reminder to tell loved ones how you feel and celebrate together as couples. Much like an anniversary, exchanging cards and gifts is obviously a welcome treat and I for one love a little present to unwrap (well I like that any time of year really)!

This year my Valentine's treat came early, and no joke, it really is a beautiful luxurious treat. For me, as I have grown up a bit I have definitely become accustomed to spending a bit more on a nicer product and if you can afford good quality materials like cashmere and leather, then it is worth purchasing. 

When I saw the new season Cath Kidston products filtering onto the website I couldn't get over just how right they had got their colour ways for heading into spring. They have released some seriously stunning leather pieces that are the most perfect grey, blue and blush shade. 

For me, pink always has a place in my heart and the pale blush shades really get my heart all a flutter. This small leather duo bag is an absolute perfect piece for an organised handbag lover. I used to only ever carry around a large handbag to fit all the stuff I used to cart around but as my handbag has more respectfully turned back into a "Just for me" bag I have downsized and really love it. It is actually almost easier with the kids as I just pop it on and forget about it. It never gets in the way and leaves my hands and hip totally free for carrying tots when they get tired.

What I love about this bag too is that CK have also brought out some fab Leather charms and this tassle one perfectly complements the shade of the bag. It is also really nice to touch which I love, fiddly, tactile things; ahh lovely!

If you are thinking about a present for yourself, maybe just point the right person in this direction, this may be a wonderful little buy to make your Valentine's gift a very special one indeed!
