and here is part two of the order. my little rocco baby is a tad battered, i've used it consistently every single day since i bought it (i'm not so great at bag alternation) and i thought he should get a bit of time off. and so i've been searching for a barrel bag that was similar but not too similar. checklist was as follows - black (any other coloured bags and i are like any other coloured bags with babies armed with pens), hard-wearing, grainy leather (easier to be less kind to), multi-carry option (short handles + long strap) and obviously it had to be very handsome. i've been keen on the givenchy antigona in the grainy leather but it looked so pristine i was scared i'd destroy it, and also the medium céline boston (i'm still pretty sure that i might have to save up for him. too yummy to dismiss). anyway, i found this beaut at burberry and knew she was the one. it's a mix of canvas with suede (the all leather wouldn't last my non-gentleness) and it's just so wonderful. i nearly cried with happiness when my 1.5 litre bottle of evian fitted in even better than it did in rocco. i'm still in the honeymoon phase and am quite happy and sure knowing it will take a while to get out of.

totes loving the resurgence of backpacks, which really is most ironic (specifically for my mama) as she used to carry this black leather rucksack around on our family holidays and i really thought it was very awful. and now i really would appreciate stealing the beast off her but as luck would have it, she spilt prawn juice on it and it was quickly dumped. anyway, asos obviously have the best selection, look at all these marvellous bag babies. however i'm still pretty content with my new wang child, especially as she does embody a backpack look to her, but these are pretty banging high street versions.

new child

(alexander wang)

i am quite the happy bean this week, so not only have i finished school forever but i have acquired a new bag baby. her name is jane, she is beautiful. sally and i poodled along to the selfridges sale after she finished work and we both saw the alexander wang bag sale stand. there really is nothing quite as exciting as that, well actually if celine or chanel had a proper sale stand i think i'd pass out, i'm even getting overwhelmed by the thought. anyway, we found ourselves walking around selfridges with a wang bag on both shoulders (we were coincidently wearing our first born wangs) and then, i don't really know how it happened, but i bought mine. rocco now has little sister jane. sally was a great role model for you all, she decided to save her money (she was carrying the jane shoulder bag, she bid a tough farewell). i however am a shameful human being, but i can actually justify this shiz - i needed a summer bag. and voila, i have one. and she's perfect. it looks like a backpack, but it isn't one. it is covered in wonderful gold zips. it has enough pockets i even have one to put my heinz ketchup sachets in (you can't risk a lack of good ketchup these days). it is a the most delightful toffee colour. and the leather is so soft that the man-friend will be sleeping in the spare bunk so i can cuddle/stroke her. aaah.

after my little (major) disaster yesterday with little baby rocco, i think this obviously means i need another day bag. i mean feeding my bag and electrical goods with a bottle of water was definitely one of my smarter ideas, so smart that it has confirmed the need for a new brother or sister for my bag family. this beaut is yummy non? it comes in black and grey also.

to keep myself going and to aim for something post-graduation, i would really like to treat myself to a bag. i've been saving for one and everything. anyway, this alexander wang beaut is in the line up. i love the souchiness and backpackiness of it.

i could possibly think of better ways of spending £250, but it is the season to be jolly and giving and all. i think my toothbrush deserves this wash bag to live in. anyone?

rocco

(alexander wang)

so since the evil slimy thief from work stole my precious alexa, i have been trying to think of what to replace her with. i guess it would have made sense to just buy a replacement alexa, but it just did not feel right. i had my alexa. and now she is gone. also it has gone up like £100+ since i bought it and paying extra for her felt even more wrong. so i have been on the search for my perfect black bag and the rocco won. i did a bit of research about him (he is totes a boy baby) and it sounded so beautiful with the squishy leather and the hardware, but the only problem i am came across was its weight. now i am no one to talk, i am not light in the slightest, but apparently rocco buyers of the world are complaining that he is heavy. i had been working on my biceps and my triceps before the slight life glitch, so the plan was to get back to the weights and take a trip to selfridges and test my bad boys out. i was really actually hoping that when seeing it, i'd despise it (therefore not needing to sell my arm for it) but i fell in love. yes, he is heavier than normal but he only seems to weigh a little more than my chanel quilted classic flap baby and regardless, he is a beauty. and mine (yay!). oh and close companions of mine will be delighted to know that my 1.5 litre bottle of evian fits like a dream.

if i didn't have to pay my mama back for my holiday, i would be spending my few pennies on these beauts. the asos sale is a dangerous place, but alas i will only lust over these bargained babies.

new baby boy

(céline)

um so this is my new baba. i don't really know how i ended up having it, it was all very random and some what weird. but yes, mama bear took me shopping (she is a recent graduate of my bag knowledge training, she now has a small mulberry army. it is wonderful), obvs felt i was deserved of leather goods after a series of recent unfortunate events and well, yes, now i have my new child. mama bear has given me a little loan which i am excited to pay back with my new job and well yay. the joy of bringing home a new baby brother for my little bag family and general loveliness from some of my old buds and the new job has resulted in huge happiness for me at the moment. so haters fyi, you can suck it. i have a northern friend and she is ready for you. however, lovers and happy people, thank you for reading the Q. project blog. it makes me eerily happy that people actually read this shiz. big love to you all.
