A Bag for Every Occasion

I remember carrying around one of my mom's old purses when I was a young girl. I'm pretty sure the only thing inside was a stuffed Dalmatian puppy and a Lip Smacker, but by God I carried that bag everywhere we went. Things haven't changed, much. I am still a purse lover and never leave home without one (or three if we're going on a trip)! I'm the type to buy a few really nice, high-end purses - a couple different colors, a tote, a cross body, a clutch and a shoulder bag - so no matter the occasion, I have the perfect purse to match. For me, it is about quality, not quantity, so I don't buy purses often.

What I've noticed as of late, though, is that I'm constantly changing purses...going back and forth from black to brown and from big to small in order to match different outfits. I end up leaving my license in one and my credit card in the other by mistake! When Radley reached out to me to collaborate on this post, I was sold in a heartbeat. Not only are their purses super stylish, but they are high quality and versatile, too!

I chose the Palace Street Cross Body in the Rose Gold and Snake Skin print because I knew it would match almost everything and work for every occasion! I love the cross body style because it is easy to carry when on the go (a.k.a. when traveling) and it is easy to dress up or down. If you took a peak at my closet you'd know that army green is one of my all time favorite colors. I love that it matches everything: black, brown, cream, pink, leopard, stripes, floral, snake skin, gold, rose gold, silver.......etc. etc. etc. But, if it isn't your thing, it also comes in white and pink! The bag is genuine leather, meaning it smells amazing, and it has built in card holders and several pockets to hold all the necessities.

Radley is a London based designer brand that creates handbags and accessories for women who are continuously inspired by life. They started in the 1980s when the founder opened a handbag business in Camden Market. Driven by a passion for color, design and luxurious leather, Radley officially launched in 1998.

I visited Camden Market when I was in London last year and I often find myself wishing I picked up a souvenir other than a coffee mug. This Radley bag will fill the void until I can make it back to London Town again.

I love that Radley offers such gorgeous and unique designs at affordable prices. I also really love their logo - the Radley dog. Hello, crazy dog lady! Their bags are elegantly chic mixed with fun and a little bit of edge, making them truly versatile enough to match any occasion perfectly and fit anyone's style. I know I'll be carrying this purse for years to come and maybe even passing it down to a future daughter one day, just like my mom did for me. 

Have you ever heard of Radley London? I hadn't until recently, but I am so impressed with the quality and design of their bags that I know they will be one of my favorite designers from here on out. Maybe I can even shop them in person next time I cross the pond? Here's to hoping it is sooner rather than later, but for now, I'm glad they offer free shipping on orders over $100. 

Thank you so much for reading and happy shopping!

Thank you, Radley, for collaborating on today's post! As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
