I am in love.
Ain't she a beauty? The pastels, the adorable size, the gorgeous chain, I could go on and on...
But, before I do, one thing you need to know about me is that I'm not materialistic. At all. I don't want expensive make up or Louboutins or designer clothes. I will always prefer to save and spend money on travel.
But then there's Mulberry.
Their classic designs and gorgeous colours have always made me go full on heart eye emoji and I have always had my eye on one of their bags. I wanted the larger Bayswater satchel but their prices make my bank account and heart very sad.
Enter the mini Lily! This lovely sized version of the classic larger Lily is slightly more affordable at £350. If I put birthday money towards it and save up and don't buy anything for a few months that is!
I know I shouldn't lust after possessions but I do just keep coming back to wanting one special bag, a lovely piece that I can pass on and keep for years to come before that. I like the idea that owning a bag like this, or us buying anything we truly want because we have worked hard and saved up is a concrete reminder of the hours and effort we put in every day.
After all, life is hard, we work hard and our hard earned money is ours to spend on whatever makes us happy! So my point today is, treat yourself. Don't bankrupt yourself obviously and be sensible within your means, but it you want something badly, save up, work hard and then splurge, guilt free :)
So, I've managed to make myself feel better about my slight materialistic tendencies! But now I want to know, what's on your list?! What's that one item you really, really want?
Lots of love,
Sophia :) xxx
