Style Update: A tote monogrammed for one on show at Winter Wonderland

So I'll go more into Winter Wonderland tomorrow, people. For now, I'll concentrate on the attire for the day in a holiday pop-up. Mainly, I want to focus right in on one bag that I'm head over heels for at the moment. Over the years, I've made no secret of my absolute adoration of the Cambridge Satchel Company. This is a brand that is the brainchild of an incredible woman, who has turned one idea for a leather bag into a globally recognised brand. Not only am I impressed, I'm downright envious of her success. 

While the brand is most well known for its classic satchel, the Cambridge Satchel Company has branched out over the years and has grown to include a plethora of bags in all different shapes, sizes, colours and leathers. One of their latests additions, The North South Tote Bag, is one I haven't put down since adding to my bag collection two weeks ago. I've accessorised it a bit, of course, to make it more personal. I've put my furry pom-poms on the handle and jazzed it up from outfit to outfit, but I'm most impressed with the embossed monogram on the front. In store, when you purchase any leather goods, you can get your bags embossed on the spot. Now, as it's the Christmas season, I thought this was worth mentioning. Monograming often shows you've given extra thought to a present. No one need know you did it on your lunch hour, now do they?

Oh, and if you're looking for more advice on what to buy your loved ones from Cambridge Satchel Company this season, I've even written a little ditty for the Cambridge Satchel Company Journal. Check it out!
