My Pillows and Handbags

I’m feeling materialistic lately.

First off, there are the pillows. If you saw my room before you would notice very little in terms of pillowage. The pillow was the one provided by the university, and thus shit, to be honest. So I bought pillows. And napkins. Napkins?? Yes, napkins. And at £2.33 apiece from Marks & Spencers, throw pillows. A couple of hours later and a grand total of £3.29 per, I have amazing pillows, a prettier room, and neck support for when I sleep. What a concept.

Then there is the bag. Do you remember my obsession with trying to get the perfect laptop bag? Well, I decided I needed a good black purse. Walking around York with Ros, I found one, though at a price I wasn’t willing to pay. Days later, after emails and posts trying to find out the style name (”Horizontal Stripe” by Radley) and stalking online shops and eBay auctions, I found it. It is perfect. Amazing quality, A4 size, perfect pockets, classic style… More pictures on my flickr.
