		<title>Brand watch: Reiss Bags &#8211; A Royal Affair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reiss is experiencing what the press have termed ‘the Duchess effect’. Our gorgeous Duchess Kate has been snapped in this British brand at all sorts of public events. We would ultimately love to see a ‘Duchess Kate’ and Reiss collaboration. Earlier this week we visited Reiss in Wimbledon, London, and were made to feel very welcome by the lovely staff. We spent a fabulously fashionable morning &#8216;oohing&#8217; and &#8216;aaahing&#8217; over their simply gorgeous handbags and clutches which are in store right now for this season. So, down to bag business. Thank you very much Reiss for allowing us to test out this season&#8217;s collection. We opened them up, were able to see what we could fit inside them, and examined every inch of the bags and clutches. Then us BagServant girls played a game &#8211; we matched the current collection to each of our handbag personalities. Here are some of our favourites which are available right now to purchase from BagServant: This is the Reiss East West Moc Croc. This is a stunning Confident Classique as well as Boardroom Perfectionist. All your techy-gadgets you need to get you through your day will fit perfectly and neatly inside this easy to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Five Minutes with Bath Time Queen Claire Croft: The Big Bag Lover</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our lives are busy, our days are long, and our nights can be restless. There is very little time to treat ourselves; to simply relax into the day ahead, or unwind from the day we’ve just had. You run yourself a bath with a beautiful scent, sink into your warm tub surrounded by equally delicious-scented candles, and scrub, indulge, lather&#8230;.and shut out the world. Does this sound like heaven? Well, one thing that the BagServant team love, and always find time for is relaxation with a bath filled with heavenly scents and bubbles (and a glass of wine on the side of the tub). We’ve discovered a luxurious bath time range called ABAHNA &#8211; rich essential oils, soaps, gels, candles, and more for the mind, body, soul and home. All made in Britain, natural ingredients, complete with beautiful packaging. As you know we LOVE beautiful things, and we could not pass up the opportunity to introduce you to Claire Croft, one half of the husband-wife team behind this luxury range of bath time essentials. We were delighted to find out that Claire LOVES handbags just as much as we do. Claire, you&#8217;re a busy mum of two, does this influence [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nicky Hambleton-Jones: What are the wardrobe essentials every woman should own and why?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TV Fashion Stylist, Nicky Hambleton-Jones  tells us the secret to a perfect wardrobe. The key pieces every woman should own. The full interview to be launched soon. What wardrobe essentials do you think every woman should own and why? I think it’s important to have a variety of key pieces that can be mixed and matched throughout the year so that you don’t have to spend a fortune on a new wardrobe every season. Every woman should have a beautiful crisp white shirt to flatter and accentuate their best features – there are so many styles to choose from that it’s easy to find something that flatters your figure. A well made little black dress is a timeless and sophisticated key piece. It can be worn day and night and you can jazz up with accessories, or keep it simple. Make sure to choose a style that suits your body shape and you will be guaranteed to wear it again and again. A black or dark blazer is another key piece that matches everything. You can change the look just by changing the accessories. Everyone can wear a single-breasted blazer comfortably and have the option of wearing it over dresses, [...]]]></description>

		<title>L.K.Bennett: 20% off on selected bags for a limited time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello chic city girl! I love L.K.Bennett because that&#8217;s exactly how they make me feel &#8211; their clothes make you instantly look like you have an award-winning, successful career under your belt plus all the charm and grace in the world even if deep down, you really don&#8217;t. I think it&#8217;s best to snap up a few work essentials to keep me looking tip-top for all those important meetings over the coming months, so I&#8217;ve shaped together a little outfit to show you exactly what&#8217;ll be in my online shopping basket. The Davina dress is a tried and tested delight, she fits like a glove, and really shows off your hourglass curves, if you&#8217;re lucky enough to have them. I like this midnight shade as a bit of a change from black, I think it says Parisian lady, which is exactly what I&#8217;m after. The Shilo courts are again another favourite. Mostly because they last so well and are some of the only heels that don&#8217;t give me blisters, even when i&#8217;m running for the train! Although I love simple low-key accessories in neutral shades because they go with everything. I couldn&#8217;t help but fall in love a little bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>BagServant meets POP The Fashion Store</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday evening, we waved goodbye to a drizzly London for a few hours, and boarded a train armed wearing killer heels, a must-see new Riki Rosetta Orange Lizard Clutch, and of course our camera. Our destination? The charming village of Olney about 15 minutes by car from Milton Keynes? The event? The much #Tweeted about fashion event of the year &#8211; the press launch of POP The Fashion Store. POP&#8217;s owner and our lovely hostess for the evening was fashion journalist, blogger, fitness instructor and busy mum-of-three Kaisa Larkas-Mossop. We were greeted with full glasses of champagne and a delicious table of canapes along with colourful strawberry and mojito mini cupcakes. Surrounded by gorgeous jewellery, handbags, shoes, and clothing, we knew that this was going to be a very good night. We made our way downstairs to the main boutique area, but not before grabbing a second piece of the delectable peanut butter fudge. We were particularly keen to see the range of Jane Goodchild handbags, and we were not disappointed. From the oversized soft-leather clutches, purses and shoulder bags. In an array of hand-crafted and ecological pop-block colours of bright orange, blue, glittery gold and yellow. We love Janes trademark silver star motif and her liberal use of [...]]]></description>
