Modus Press Day: Cambridge Satchel Company


Anyone who works in PR knows the whirlwind press days bring. Even when you are not heavily involved there is always a sense of panic and frenzy around London. I was lucky enough to be a part of Modus press day for work with Victorinox but in between welcoming guests to our stand I took the liberty to take a sneak peak at all the brands on show.

I'm not going to lie, I made a bee line for The Cambridge Satchel company. Though I don't own one (or a cheap knock off) I'm always drawn to the beautifully leather crafted bags and admire the company's development. And yes, the google ad had a lot to do with that.

I love the transformation from classic styles to quirky, on trend pieces. This Autumn Winter expect berry, cream and deep purples. For the more adventurous find animal print patches and those who just sit in between, two tones hit the middle road nicely.



I have never had a favourite colour but I am definitely drawn to violets and purples. The sophistication in the colour range is right up my street and the cream will be great for brightening up the dull autumn winter and carry you through to summer.

To say the least, I'm sold. I'm counting the pennies and entering them into the piggy bank and I know I won't be disappointed with the investment. Now the decision.... which colour? Expect a Cambridge Satchel featuring soon.

Spending splurges: #4 Jewellery special

Yes, I am still rattling through some recent spending splurges despite currently being on a lock down. To be honest something quite miraculous has happened which makes the post just a tad more interesting. I have spent a hefty amount of my recent wages on jewellery. Yes I said it, jewellery. I am serious. For all those of you are a bit confused by this statement, staring at the screen doing an unimpressed 'yer and?' sort of look -this is big news. Let me explain.

I may have mentioned this before but I normally avoid parting with my cash on accessories due to the cost. I love necklaces, rings mostly and bracelets. I AM a magpie to all things shiny and sparkly but I just find the cost of it unjustifiable. I am a clothes junkie and would much rather that £15 go towards a new top than a sparkly chain or similar. Fact is I am being completely ignorant to fashion. We all know accessories can transform an outfit and this is a big lesson I have learnt recently. And I've gone crazy. Ok, so a little confession, all these purchases have been influenced by red sale stickers helping ease the pain but nevertheless, I have invested and my accessory hooks are bulging by the day. So take a look and let me know what you think. You may notice a few from my previous posts but I have put them all together to highlight my spending splurge. I am officially over the jewellery virgin label. Someone pass me a gold medal!

I am really getting into the 'cross' trend and have about 3 cross rings in total now. I have been wearing the Outfit multi cross chain quite a lot, I love the turquoise and white crosses that have been added to the typical gold chain and the funnel shape is really flattering on plain tops. My biggest disappointment was the layered wire Topshop ring. Ok, so its a cheapy but I was still shocked with it tarnishing after just a few wears.  I think I can just about get away with wearing it and maybe flog it as a new jewellery colour? 

Whats your favourite from my collection? Any jewellery magpies out there?
