Bag candy that's good enough to eat at Dollydagger

I love that retro clothes and accessories store Dollydagger has a section entirely devoted to pretty things for your handbag. I love it even more that they start from a mere two quid.

This Cherry Chocolate Truffle Lipbalm (try saying that with your mouth full) is certainly more interesting than a tub of vaseline. Probably tastes nicer too.My favourite is this Cherry Red Lipstick Pen. It's bound to raise a few smiles when you take this out of your handbag at the bank instead of a grubby biro.
They are hardly sophisticated and would probably look out of place in a swish designer handbag, but sophistication is a little overrated. Who needs to feel like a grown-up when you can have lips that taste of dessert and a kick-ass writing implement?

Design Porn: Owls galore at Paperchase

You can never go far wrong with Paperchase if you're looking for a quick visual fix, but last time I entered the shrine of design that is the flagship branch on Tottenham Court Road, I was just floored by the amount of cool new stuff they've got in store. Just check out this adorable 'owls' design, covering stationery, crockery and even this cute overnight bag!

I've already got the luggage-tag, am eyeing up the bag and mug and am virtually stalking the designer since stumbling across her site. Now all they need do is make a matching Oyster Card holder to add to their their must-have collection of pass cases and I'll be in owly heaven!
