CarrieMe gives a glamorous touch to spring handbags!!

Its gorgeous out there!  We say its time for colour - say bye bye to Winter, and hello to Spring!! 

Metallics such as gold and silver; warm tones such as mustard yellow, camel and tan brown; and bright colours such as indigo blue and emerald green are trending in the high street shop windows right now... making fabulous accessories. 

This contrasting colour blocking inspired by the 1960's style, caught our eye - mixing and matching bright colours and using the current geometric shapes' trend to give a more sophisticated look... and perfectly matching Rakhee Bhatt's nails!

Our favourite though is this brightly coloured bag and with gold trimmings, elegantly modelled by Laura Berenguer!.

Also don't know about you, but the size of my bag seems to be ever increasing - obviously I need absolutely everything in there you understand, but now can I find anything? No! So here is where the Classic Heart Mobile Finder does its magic with my mobile, shown with the Amber Gold which is right on trend!

How embarrassing!

My last blog post just brought back a lot of embarrassing memories of me looking for my keys. Way before the CarrieMe key finders came along I’d been on a few dates with this guy I really liked and when he walked me back home disaster struck…. I couldn’t find my keys!! I tried reaching into my favourite huge oversized bag in the most lady like way possible a couple of times to no avail so ended up with all the contents of my bag on the floor before I finally found them.  Not the prettiest of sights.  Lets just say he didn’t ask me out again!

Another rather memorable moment was when I returned soaking wet and furious after a trip to the local Tesco’s.  It was still pouring when I returned to my car laden with shopping bags and armed with an umbrella, but as I rummaged around in my bag in vain for my keys, I let slip one side of the flimsy plastic bags, and the whole thing crashed to the floor including the yummy looking bottle of Merlot which I’d bought for a cosy dinner that evening!  Double whammy when I couldn’t find my keys, as I returned absolutely drenched and without the Merlot, I was not popular when I got home.

A friend of mine had a similar experience with the rain but I think hers trumps mine any day. She was taking a team of wealthy VIPs round a property they were interested in investing in, but unfortunately returning back to the office, she had completely buried the keys somewhere in the depths of her bag.  Frantic searching whilst trying to look calm and collected just did not work.  She ended up emptying the contents of her bag on the floor and trying to hide the most cringe worthy items left over from a heavy week of partying. How she managed to close a deal with those clients is still quite a shocker.

Let me know your embarrassing key stories!

Can't find your keys in your handbag?

Do any of you girls share my taste in bags?

Having told you all of my favourite handbag designers, I now want to share with you why my CarrieMe handbag accessories are perfect for all you bag lovers out there.

My CarrieMe accessories aim to be practical, working hard to save you time and effort whilst still looking equally as fabulous as your bag.

As mentioned in my previous post, large bags are in this season, especially those from the Fendi and Mulberry collections, designed so that there’s a lot of room to carry everything, but equally a lot of room for your keys to get lost in.

In light of this, I would like to introduce an accessory that I think will be a godsend.

The new CarrieMe key finder is perfect for keeping your keys safe and easy to find at a moment’s notice, whilst adding style to your bag like an elegant charm.

Watch this video to find out more and to learn how they work.

The key finders in the video are from the Classics range, which as you just saw come in a range of colours and styles that are perfect for any occasion. There’s shocking pink for those girly girls, sage green for serene fashionistas, papal purple - which is the latest trend off the A/W catwalk, indigo blue the colour of Kate Middleton’s engagement ring.... and of course cranberry red, charcoal black and argent silver work with all handbags, especially those from my previous post.

If you look closely, all the CarrieMe Classic bag hooks and key finders have my signature, tactile aluminium face which reflects an understated, yet irresistible shine.

If you like any of these accessories you can find out more about them on my website - http://www.carrieme.co.uk/
