Number 1:
First and foremost I am a firm believer that your handbag says a lot about you. I would never and I mean NEVER leave the house with a bag that was worn out, frayed or missing a strap (as I have seen many times on the London underground) and my bag of the moment is my Michael Kors Hamilton Tote
(find here on their website http://www.michaelkors.com/p/MICHAEL-Michael-Kors-MICHAEL-Michael-Kors-Hamilton-Large-Tote-VIEW-ALL-HANDBAGS/prod12380001_cat3003_cat8501_/?index=106&cmCat=cat000000cat8501cat3003&isEditorial=false)

I call him Michael and he even has his own special place on my desk at work. This bag has structure, a shoulder strap and beautiful silver details.
I think above everything else you wear, your bag is your statement piece and this bag says "I'm a strong independent woman", without sounding silly. I can tell this bag will last a good amount of time, although I rotate my handbags like I rotate my tires!
Number 2:
My Tory Burch ballerina flats. The price tag (at £205) is something most people would fear when buying a pair of flats, but not for me (or my sister who bought me them for my birthday, shhh!). I am used to buying flats that will last me 3 months if that and then fall apart with London's unpredictable weather. But I must say, it is far better value for money buying an expensive pair which you can wear all year round and wear with any outfit. Mine are the Classic Reva Ballet Flats (found here on their website http://www.toryburch.co.uk/reva-ballet-flat/50008606,en_GB,pd.html?dwvar_50008606_color=002&start=6&cgid=shoes-flats&prefn1=color&prefv1=Black)
I will not lie to you, The first day I wore these I got the worst blister, but pain is beauty right ladies? We all know that new leather flats need to be broken in a bit (these were probably just the most painful so far!) but it is worth it in my books!
If only I had found this youtube link on how to break them in when I first got them, it's definitely worth the watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziSDIZ5hs5U
Finally, Number 3:
Finally, Number 3:
My Chanel lipstick. I used to think wearing "lipstick" was out dated and for elderly women (ya know, the ones who get it all over their teeth), but no! I love my Chanel Rouge Allure in Extatique (available on their website http://www.chanel.com/en_GB/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-Lipsticks-ROUGE-ALLURE-131548?sku=131559). It gives your make up a much needed pop, especially when I go for quite neutral eye shadow.
If you aren't sold on bright pink lipstick, look at how it has worked with the celebs below:
And that concludes my favourite things post. I hope you enjoyed <3
