It’s January, the weather is miserable, we’re all back to school and work, getting up with the alarms again, so it’s only fair that there is a smidgen of joy in the world, in the form of the best accessory known to (wo)man kind. Handbags. Handbags. Handbags. If you know me, you know. Bags are my thing. Well, to be fair, shopping is my thing, but I won’t be partaking in that much this month, cutbacks are us!
