Chit Chat Chunter # 7: On the most stylish response to the 5p bag tax

Hi All,

Just a very quick chirp from me today to share with you my ultimate response to The 5p Issue.

As I was dashing around The Asda (as my chum would say…) I was overcome by panic: no small fold-able bag had I about my person. What to do?

But then..of course…

IMG_3916I have been carting around the Largest-Handbag-Known-To-Man, to much general disdain, for the past 3 years and today, as I knew it would, came its glory day.

Not sure that Louis V had in mind that his bag would be receptacle to a dozen Muller Light Yoghurts and some Bernard Matthews chicken, but needs must, needs must.

Problem. Sorted. 

Catch you later my Chit Chat Chums!

Chit Chat Challenge #1: A reasonably priced travel jewellery box / case / roll please!

Hello Chit Chat Chums,

Here’s the thing… me and Mr. Chit Chat are heading off en vacances soon – yay! 

So, I’m in need of some sort of equipment for rationalising my jewellery on holiday.IMG_1985

Much as I know that the stars like to parade around the beach bling-bedecked, I just can’t… sand and sun cream and water and…real jewellery? Nope. Maybe they’re wearing cheap tat for impact? Anyway, I need it to be stored safely a la maison whilst I crisp…

What I’d like ideally is a medium sized leather case with a zip. Whilst I’ve seen just the thing at Louis V and Smythson, unfortunately, I can’t stretch that far…

Anyone seen anything suitable around the £50 mark that I could acquire online?

Hope you can help, let me know in the comments below!

Cheers Chums xxx
