HOUSE OF FRASER - PIED A TERRE CLUTCH

Its safe to say that I am a handbag girl. Clutches, totes, shoulder I own an array of different styles flittering between them every month or so, I absolutely love the feeling of changing bags and arranging all my bits and bobs (aka junk) into a fresh bag. When it comes to a night out however I tend to stick to what I know and always go back to my trusty clutch (a River Island number FYI - post here). So when House of Fraser got in touch and offered me a chance to test out a bag from their Pied a Terre range I casually agreed (ok I excitedly said yes :-)) What I was sent was a gorgeous clutch bag* a far cry from my usual simple style. Electric blue snakeskin, with suede detail and silver hardware this clutch is definitely a distinctive change - but you know what I like. Big enough to hold the evening necessities (5 lipsticks anyone?) with a secure clasp this is a welcome addition to my collection. Inside there is even a zip compartment and several card holders - a rarity with clutches which allows the usually anal Virgo in me to me that little more organised. OK its not the most versatile bag colour wise, I am thinking all black ensemble, killer heels it will definitely make a statement. 

The Pied a Terre clutch is currently on sale for £49.50 having been reduced from £99 and is available now from House of Fraser here.

House of Fraser are currently running a blogger challenge to win a whopping £200. I love these types of challenges the chance to add items to my virtual shopping bag without the guilt! Plus there was no price limit therefore you have free reign to the entire shop! 

The challenge is to head over to House of Fraser and pick up your key pieces for this season. 

So what do you think of my outfit? I am definitely a casual girl during the day. I like to be comfy but then smart enough to take me into the evening if the occasion arises. I practically live in ankle boots and this pair from Dune, albeit pretty pricey look pretty darn comfy but smart whilst being on trend for the autumn/winter season. The AA disco pants have been working their way around the blogging scene for a while now but these high waisted coated jeans make a good alternative for a similar price. Teamed with a casual tee with a slight edge this outfit is definitely something I would wear! The MK watch is a lust of mine and yet another beauty blogger cult item! I love the darker colours in the new NAR's collection and Diamond Life is right up my street. I can't go anywhere without a handbag, which usually entails lugging everything bar the kitchen sink around. This quilted number from Jaeger is smaller than my usual preference but has a real Chanel feel about it and the chain detail is to die for. I want!
