Accessories: Affordable Statement Spikes.

Hello everyone and a very warm Sunday to you.
This weekend has been a revelation because I’ve realised how much can be done when not wasting all of a Sunday with a hangover.
Yesterday I went up the mountain with my boyfriend and the dog and despite it being freezing I really enjoyed the walk. This morning I was in the gym hitting the treadmill at 10:30, it must be January fever that’s all I can put it down to.

I had to write a little post about these bags because their beautiful, on trend and really affordable. I’ve seen the a lot of similar bags out and about and they are dupes for some of Topshops and Zaras studded and spikes accessory offerings.


I bought these bags separately on two different trips to Primark.
The cream bag appealed to me because firstly I love gold and wear a lot of gold accessories when I go out. I also think the cream bags style could work very well styling future spring/summer months outfits (yes I am aware I’m getting ahead of myself a little but there you go!) it also has a cream tassel which is a nice added touch.

The black clutch on the other hand is a little more edgier, the eviler of the siblings so to say. Styled correctly this black number can be used as a nod to the spike trend rather than dressing head to toe in black and spikes. It could be used to crank up an outfit a notch. I also think this
bag would compliment my Jeffrey Campbell Damsels perfectly.
 
Both bags are PU leather and like an oversized pencil case. They are the perfect size to fit all of our essentials. I am not usually one to splash out on Primark bags but I have been very impressed with these two.
 

These lovely bags are available from Primark for £8 each.

What do you think of them?
