[unpaid/affiliate/ad] It’s a long time since I’ve bought a ‘serious’ handbag – I think I had a bit of a bag frenzy when I was working up in London more and it would be very safe to say I have a life-time’s worth of bags as it is. So, when I do buy a new bag, it’s much more likely to be something fun and fabulous from Accessorise than it is to be a sensible, big outlay bag. However, I have had my head very much turned by the Michael Kors Colby bags which have a Jackie O vibe with some modern updates.
First up, the Colby silver – this is the one that caught my eye first and while I’m easily swayed by something shiny, it would go with literally everything from jeans and jacket to a fancy black dress. It’s a good size (10.5”W X 6.75”H X 2.75”D) in that it’s capacious enough to carry your essentials without looking overstuffed or bulky, but it’s small enough to be a day or evening bag.
Bearing in mind my default outfit is blue jeans, white linen shirt and a black jacket, this could be the perfect Colby for me. But that said, any of the options would look perfect with that combination of colours.

I passed this one by initially but spring does strange things doesn’t it? I could suddenly see myself casually strolling down Bond Street (honestly, not something I do very often!) with this on my shoulder feeling very pleased with myself. If I had a wedding to go to, I’d be working around this bag with the rest of my outfit. The only problem with the Colby bags is that it comes in quite a number of colours – at £345, more than one isn’t an option – choosing is an issue. Anyway, if the Colby is solving any bag dilemmas for you, you can find it HERE and please let me know which colour you go for!

Wow, looks like perfect bag – size, shape, colors! I’d also, probably, go for silver (hot pink is lovely, but I have this color already) – it is truly universal (and I too have plenty of black, white and denim in my wardrobe). Said that, I’m not sure I gonna buy any pricey bags anytime soon – my lifestyle is too casual… But still fun to read about what’s new on the glamour shelves! 🙂
I hear you re bags but just sometimes you get the bag urge….
