My first post of 2015… like finally. (the previous 2014 recap post doesn't count)

It's been a busy week or two of settling the kids into their new school, tidying up around the house, and generally trying to keep everything in order. And… frankly.. just feeling a bit less chatty than usual! I blame it on my Facebook page, which I tend to do all my mini real-life chatterings on, and so never seem to be able to commit my time to typing out a proper post here.

Anyhoodle, guess it's good to kick off my first 2015 with one of my favourite topics – SHOPPING! And with a cheery pop of red, to start the new year off 🙂

Introducing the veeery soft and slouchy Givenchy Pandora!

I got the Mini size, which suits me perfectly. I like the thin strap, and it works well cross-body as well as on the shoulder.

It looks fairly stiff in this photo, because it's brand new here. You'll see in the photos below that it gets waaaay nore slouchy (as well as softer) after it's been used for a bit.

The back side. So far there's no colour ruboff on the bag or my clothes, which is a relief.

Worn cross-body style. It's a great size and an easy-access bag, so it's great for mums or people on the go!

This is after it's been used for a few months and well worn-in. It's very very slouchy, which is the point of the look (it's not meant to look like a stiff box sitting at your hip). LOVE the pop of red!!

It's considered a small size bag, but it fits in quite a lot thanks to the shape. I can fit in:

• iPhone
• fat square wallet
• tissues
• box of mints
• lipbalm
• hair comb
• portable phone charger
• sunglasses in case
• foldable umbrella (!)

Quite a lot, right?? I should've taken a photo of all the contents tucked into the bag, but I forgot and am too busy lazy to do it right now 😛

Super soft and slouchy. The Givenchy Pandora Mini makes a really nice casual outfit bag IMHO!
