The weather nor the lighting was wanting to play game so click the photos and they make look a little better ~fingers crossed~

It's not often that I'm contacted by lovely PR people, let alone PR's that actually know my name and are really interested in my blog, so I was pleasantly surprised when I was contacted recently by Clippy. They showed a real interest in my little V and had actually been reading it for a year! Eeep. Clippy is a brand based in London that enable the masses to create unique bag designs to show off to their peers. You receive the shell of a bag and then you get to design it to your heart's content. You can choose from a range of bags including handbags, totebags, washbags and even pencil cases! I'd never heard of the brand before so I scoured their website for information and was immediately sucked in by the history of Clippy.

The first bag was made by Calypso Rose on her kitchen table many moons ago and the brand has since escalated and even gained the custom of none other than Helena Bonham Carter! If it's good enough for Bellatrix; it's good enough for me! I love how easily customisable these bags are. If you're anything like me, the faintest bit of creativity makes you nauseous. No worries - you can either do a bit of DIY or you can customise them online so that they arrive at your door with your photographs in. I uploaded my photographs online and was surprised to see how easy it was! A few clicks and it was making its way to me. The photographs were also really good quality.

I'm moving out soon so I wanted my bag to ooze the familiarity of home and the people I hold dear. I'm pretty chuffed with how its turned out. Even Luke was impressed and that's not an easy thing to achieve! I'm definitely going to be carting mine round at university and using the little pockets to store my train tickets that I always misplace. It's the perfect size to conceal my folders and it's also waterproof - ideal for the Great British summer we are having! I think I'm also going to mix it up a little and store cute postcards or fabrics in the pockets.
