When it comes to accessories I’m not an obsessive, I tend to overlook new collections in favour of dresses or shoes, but sometimes you can’t help but take notice and that’s exactly what happened when I got an e-mail introducing a gorgeous range of metallic pieces from Mint Velvet.
Mint Velvet is a website that is reserved strictly for window shopping. I own a couple of pieces and can confirm they are well worth the price tag, but sadly that price tag is a bit out of my current budget. Accessories however, well those can be a little more justified in my eyes- I don’t own many and therefore it’s totally ok to collect a few more eh?
Isla oversized purse, £59
Kate blocked clutch, £89
Olivia phone case, £19
Ali makeup bag, £39
Ok, so these aren’t the cheapest accessories on the block but they are both beautiful and functional and going on previous quality from Mint Velvet they will last a heck of a lot longer than ones that cost a tenth of the price, probably so much so that their cost per use will actually be cheaper! How’s the for justification?
I’m especially loving the makeup bag and oversized purse, I can think of a million and one uses for both of them and just love how luxe they look without being OTT.
Are you an accessories lover? Do you prefer to splurge or save? I used to be a save/buy the cheapest kind of girl but now I’d rather own less and invest in quality.
I love that make up bag. Definitely choose quality over cheap alternatives! X
That make-up bag is so cute, I reckon you could use it as a little clutch to keep your money and phone in on a night out, and £39 is definitely reasonable for a clutch, right? 😉 xo

To be honest, I don’t often buy accessories, I usually get gifted bags and such, I’m all about the clothes, especially dresses!

That blocked clutch is beautiful! I like to save so I can splurge, quality over quantity. 😉
I love the make-up bag, it’s gorgeous! I tend to wear quite a neutral wardrobe most of the time, so I like to add colour and statements via accessories, so I’d rather spend say £40 on one handbag rather than one dress or top. I’m also trying to invest in long-lasting, wearable staple items. xxx

Sometimes it’s worth paying a little more and then the item lasts longer than two minutes! Love these picks as well. So chic.
Great post & Haaappy Spring!
