The other friend has the smaller one but her kid is still a baby so she&#39;s got the baby bag and handbag thing on the go still. I would go with the bigger one myself.<br />If I were you, I&#39;d go to somewhere that sells them (or a friend who has one) and take pictures of you wearing both sizes before you make the decision. It really helps with a big purchase like that. Or if you know anyone travelling east - I&#39;ve a friend with an amazing Anthony she got in Hong Kong for £100! Hope that helps! xxschoolgatestylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11374320337030060565[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-25671712185676500652012-12-22T09:21:08.106+00:002012-12-22T09:21:08.106+00:00Hey Avril thanks for your post back. Do your friends have the large Antony ?.. I see mums with the little version and it&#39;s no way big enough.. At the moment I seem to have all my bag content everywhere . A disorganised twin mom : ).. I like the oak colour it can get bashed around a bit and look lived in. <br /><br />I am saving up for the big one &quot; lifetime purchase &quot;. I just always worry i won&#39;t look feminine. Any advice welcome - why is it so difficult to make the decision !

It is more of a casual bag though. Having said that, I have a friend who wears hers to work. It&#39;s just not really a going out bag I guess! If I could afford a Mulberry, it would be my first choice!

I love the house of fraser mustard color bag and the boden, i do love boden items, they are great quality. I dont like across the shoulder bags though i tend to shorten the straps and use a bobby pin to secure to my coat, this is because i am top heavy and i find the across the body bags make my boobs look huge and my belly protrudes out more (im trying to hide it lol) some fab choices though hun, love your posts xMissy Adamshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02708334070484959975[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-39859151677967352792012-09-07T12:10:20.319+01:002012-09-07T12:10:20.319+01:00Pity your next birthday is such a long way off!! lol<br />Callumtheredshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14492727323368459240[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-54605046597345351672012-09-07T12:10:08.854+01:002012-09-07T12:10:08.854+01:00Pity your next birthday is such a long way off!! lol<br />Callumtheredshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14492727323368459240[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1309613786929270593.post-31389097024914338152012-09-07T11:54:27.394+01:002012-09-07T11:54:27.394+01:00Would love one of the satchels, am always tempted by Orla Kiely bags (have a few already!) and love the tapestry print. I couldn&#39;t resist any longer and ordered a Richmond bag from Boden but in the tan option, and I could quite easily succumb to the Zara shopper!
