Whimsy Wear: Haul/// Accessorize Backpack + Tote + Scarves.

Hello!

I want to share a quick little haul from Accessorize.

I got these things nearly a month ago during the last leg of the Sales.

I got most of these things at 70% off and nothing makes me happier...well..almost nothing.

Let's jump in shall we?

I am having a total 90s flashback with these mini backpacks!

I have a motley collection going at the moment and this is a happy addition to it.

I love the colour and I think Navy Blue will work really well for Fall and Winter.

The bag is kinda tiny but I am sure it will fit all the things I need to tote around.

I love the flower details!!!

This Cat thingie opens up to a full sized tote bag. I got this for my sister to keep in her bag at all times. It's perfect to use as a reusable tote to cart groceries and other things. I like saying NO to plastic whenever I can, and having totes in our bags, just makes it so much easier to refuse a pesky plastic bag.

I got the cactus print tote for pretty much the same reason. Plus, I am loving all things cactus and succulent print. These totes also come in handy if you need to carry your laptop and charger and your handbag of the moment is a bit tiny.

Scarves!!!

Love love love them.

I got these for my sister too.

The bird one is especially cute!

How adorable are these little cacti and the pineapples!?!

A small but very happy haul!

Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend.

Bombay is seeing some random thunderstorms and bouts of rain. I am not complaining, anything is better than the heat wave we were melting under!

I spent my Saturday being as still as I can since I have managed hurt my lower back and my neck for no good reason! A pulled muscle spasm or something. But I am in so much pain!

So I've read- The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead which is gory, gritty and so heartbreakingly real. I am enjoying it...but man it's so hard to read at points.

I also got some colouring done today to distract myself from the pain. It kinda worked.

Watched India win a T20 match.

So made the best of a bad situation.
