Trying to be effective and ask two questions in one post 
.
- Handbag dilemma
I need a new everyday handbag that looks professional enough to wear to interviews, etc. The bag I really want is the Mulberry Bayswater but the budget won't stretch that far right now (I bought a new pet pebble
, need a ton of other stuff, am leaving for a term abroad and yikes is Paris expensive).
The budget is preferably under $300. I really want leather, black, be able to wear it on my shoulder but still look good holding it in my hand. It needs to be big enough for normal A4 papers (so preferably 14in x 10in). Style wise I like classic styles, more structured than hobo, not completely a plain tote but not too much details. Any recommendation of brands, types, or stores (London) would be very appreciated. I am not a brand person so a good leather store would be great.
I did find a bag that looks nice by some brand called Tula (from the UK) it's called the Betty and I am trying to find if it comes in normal black leather with silver hardware. I did find it in black ostrich leather, which I like, but am a bit unsure if it would look ok for interviewing. What do you guys think?
- Shopping in London: Suit edition
Long story short I gained weight and am now working on losing it. My things from before the weight gain are too small so I need a new suit . I will be in London next week and am planning on getting it there since there is a lot more to choose from (Sweds think it is perfectly fine to wear jeans to the office for the most part).
What is a good place to find a suit under £200? I don't expect it to last for years but I don't want to feel embarrassed about the quality. I just need something for interview season. I have no problem with outlets, last season or even second hand as long as it fits well. The problemo: I am somewhat busty so I can't wear strait up and down blazers. I am hoping to find a dark grey/charcoal suit with a tailored blazer with a pencil skirt and in dream of dreams pants too. Oh yeah I think I am currently a UK size 14.
I looked at Hobbs but they seem a tad out of by budget, wish I was there for the sale. Any advice?
Also I lost my perfect mid heel courts , so I am in the market for those too. Any specific stores for leather shoes that you can recommend?
Just a couple of bad shots of my pet pebble who is currently being reset.
