My Clarks Shoulder Bag

The spirit of material consumption almost never departs the mind of a fashion Blogger. Lord alone knows how much I’ve acquired in the past few weeks but this Clarks shoulder bag is one of my darlings. Got it at my roadside retailer’s stand and im still loving it. Will try to document all my recent purchases overtime on here….P.S: today’s my birthday, maybe a lil shopping will not be bad :o)
