I know it’s early, but you need to start thinking about that summer carryall now. Luckily for us, it’s all about an oversized wicker bag that you can throw everything in – towel, books, iPad, kindle, sunglasses and suncream. But I also like the look of wearing it on home turf, with jeans and trainers – after all, it is weekend size. Pop to your local coffee shop with a new book and fresh flowers poking out – how Parisien.

I can't wait to start using mine-I bought in in St. Tropez (I love to buy bags/shoes as souvenirs)-but it seriously won't stop snowing here in Switzerland!
Great selection, cannot wait to dust off the Primark one I picked up last year, used it all summer.

Loving Primark at the moment!
I know, so hard to picture basket bags when it's still pretty much winter in the UK too! x
I have the *smile* one from The Jackson's….can't wait to use it again this year….though if I won the lottery I'd be trading it in for a Rae Feather monogrammed one! ;0) xx
Please can you repost link to ASOS pinaform dress or any similar to the one you're wearing. Just out of interest what size is your H&M one? Xx
I love these type of bags when I'm on holiday but not when I'm on the London tube and using my armpit to *close* the top of the bag from wondering stray hands!!;/

Love my Bonjour one! But yes agree – am still owed a bday pressie but not sure if I need it xx
Thank you, keep up the awesome work x
Love the new bomber on your Instagram, you mentioned it comes up small, which size did you go for?

I bought a medium, which is perfect – but could've even done a large
