'A woman's mind is as complex as the contents of her handbag...' (Billy Connelly)

Today I'm in the mood to shop (no change there) ...

OK, let's be honest, it is unusual that a day goes by that I am not in the mood to shop - but even so, today the urge is slightly stronger, so what better way to overcome that (or perhaps give in at some point) than to write about what I am in the mood for - BAGS!

Like shoes, I believe one can never have enough. Regardless of the outfit, the mood, the weather, the food one has consumed the night before - bags will always fit, look good and make one smile! Agreed?

So, as to not prolong this introduction any further - let me commence ...

Welcome to the wonderful world of handbags! From the hundreds (make that thousands) of bags I want and need to posses - I have whittled it down to my top five (for today, that is) :

1. Loving this tapestry duffle bag, very boho-chic don't you think?! (£22 - ASOS.com)

2. I could not believe my eyes when I stumbled across this red suedette tassle clutch. A real statement for a real reasonable price. (£20 - Dorothy Perkins)

3. There is nothing like a classic bag and to add to that, there is nothing like a classic designer bag *mmm* (£1,707 - Mulberry)

4. This chic retro purse is one for the collection. For a casual party or a formal soiree - this has a real 80's feel and will work well with either look. (£18 - modcloth.com)

5. Carry this investment piece to accent every look with a touch of luxe - it's Chanel - enough said. (£880 - Chanel)

Oh how the list could go on!

Arm candies - every girl needs one (or ten).
