School-style satchels

Satchel style bags seem to be very popular right now - whenever I have one for sale at any of my market stalls they're snapped up right away. These are usually 1970s or 80s era fashion bags, made for women and mostly made from tan coloured leather. This one by the Cambridge satchel company is great because it's true to a traditional school satchel bag, no fussy styling, but comes in the perfect choice of colours both traditional and bright. At around $150 aud inc postage for the smallest handbag size it's pretty good value for a unique everyday bag.

Desert boots

It seems like it's getting colder and colder by the day here in Melbourne and my converse just aren't cutting it. Just in time I found these cute desert boots from Hobes which should provide better Winter warmth and a bit more style. Still can't quite decide on black or beige. Or both. From Obus or online.
