DE-BUG YOUR BAG

In icky science news, this month we’ve learnt our handbags are hoarding more than just our wallets, sunglasses, keys and lippy. If you’re guilty of occasionally placing your purse on the floor of a public bathroom or on the floor of the car whilst driving you’re exposing your bag to harmful bacteria which in turn can be passed on to you causing anything from food poisoning to nasty eye infections. Read our guide on getting rid of harmful bag-teria now – your handbag (and your health) will thank you for it:

THE WOMEN’S FASHION BAROMETRE OF COOL: Spring florals

Women’s Fashion LOVES: Miniature floral-print dresses and shirts taking us romantically into spring. Wear in creamy, pink shades for a vintage touch with pale denim or go all out in a floor-length maxi dress and ignite the bohemian princess within.
Women’s Fashion LOATHES: Large-print florals may have been groovy in the 70s but wear them this season and risk looking like you’ve taken a pair of scissors to granny’s curtains; approach with caution.
