New Boots, Water Rat and Check Mate

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope you all had a great NYE...I didn't do much except go for a lovely meal with my boyfriend, best friend and her boyfriend.

Today was a very good day...my Christopher Raeburn Water Rat bag from Matches arrived (I originally ordered the small floral Sophie Hulme envelope bag but I got told it was out of stock three days after ordering it!!! I was gutted!)
I love the Rat, it's so cute and so pink!! I wanted to show you it properly so here are some outfit pictures with my new vintage check co-ord that I purchased in the ASOS sale and my amazing monochrome boots from Schuh that I got for Christmas...

Co-ord - Vintage Renewal ASOS// 15 Den Tights - ASOS// Boots - Schuh// Bag - Christopher Raeburn (Matches Fashion)

I got the bag for an amazing £103 half price and then an extra 10% off of the sale. I know the bag definitely isn't everybody's cup of tea but you can't deny the cuteness! 

How cool are the boots?  I can't believe they're Schuh!

I also passed my driving test today so I am one happy bunny!!! 

I hope you're all having a great New Year so far! I start my new job at The Net-A-Porter Group on Monday so I'm very excited about this year!

Sale Wants

I'm so annoyed a lot of the sales have started before Christmas when I have no money until the end of the month and the fact that they aren't discounting things very much at all!

I'm after a pair of designer shoes or a designer 'weekend' bag. (I'm totally torn and not sure which one to go for)  I have the Givenchy Antigona in gold as my everyday bag but I just want something smaller that goes across the body for cinema or dinner trips as I don't like having to put my bag on the floor (I need to look after it)
A bag is definitely more practical as I have soooo many pairs of shoes but I loveeee them!

As sales have started on both Matches and my-wardrobe I have a few things on my wishlist...

I have managed to get list down to a single bag and pair of boots at Matches but with both items only having 30% off at the moment, I don't feel it's a good enough bargain, so I am praying they get reduced further (which I think they will - in time).

There isn't one single pair of shoes or bag that I want on my-wardrobe but there is a jacket...

Yet again this biker only has 30% off - I wasn't going to spend my money on clothes as I have so many but if this goes down lower it may just have to be purchased. 

Have you got your eye on anything already in the sale?
