How pretty is this mini Mulberry Zipped Bayswater! This small satchel has been on my wish list for roughly a year, and I finally snapped one up! I love the neutral color, thick and luxurious leather, impeccable craftsmanship, and timeless style. Love!!

The Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater is part of Mulberry’s Bayswater family which includes several styles and sizes of satchels and totes. The Bayswater style offers a more relaxed version of a structured handbag. It can drift easily between a formal office environment and weekend casual looks. I love the versatility!

This particular style is a mini satchel style which is more like a small handbag. It can fit much more than your average mini, making it easy to carry during any season. I can fit my wallet, phone, lipstick, and keys. In addition, I can add gloves, a thin scarf, and snacks. As you can see from the photos below, it is quite roomy for a mini bag!

what fits inside mulberry mini zipped bayswater

The Mulberry mini Zipped Bayswater offers one interior slip pocket which can be used for items such as receipts, a card holder, and more. I tend to just throw everything inside without using the interior pocket, but I should use it! haha

I love the luxurious feel, thick leather, and durability of the bag. It really is a workhorse! The larger size would be great for holding a laptop and larger items. I am adding it to my wish list! The hard part is choosing a color, Mulberry always has a vast array of colors to choose from!

The mini Zipped Bayswater comes with a detachable shoulder strap which can be used cross body or over the shoulder. This gives the bag more versatility as it can be carried cross body, as a shoulder bag, handheld, or on the forearm. Love that!

Casual daytime holiday outfit: earrings / velvet top / hobo bag / black pants / holiday nail polish / cocktail ring / black boots /

Can we all agree the holidays are fabulous?! I love holiday outfits, Christmas decorations, holiday decorations, crisp air, time off from work, and the ability to see friends and family it is difficult to visit with the rest of the year.

Over the Thanksgiving break, my daughter was home from school, and my friend Dawn (Fashion Should be Fun) was off of work. This meant we could take some time out of our busy schedules and visit! Loved it!

Since we knew the decorations were up at Santana Row, Dawn suggested wearing holiday attire, and I am so glad she did! It was my first opportunity to break out my velvet top. I was also able to dig into my sparkling holiday jewelry and add some shine to my all-black look. Pro tip: you don’t need expensive baubles to sparkle, Swarovski makes jewelry that sparkles, won’t drain your bank account, and is red carpet worthy. Love!

After catching up, and snapping photos in front of the Christmas tree, Dawn, my daughter, and myself enjoyed a delicious meal at Dumpling Time. They have really yummy xlb, shu mai, and shrimp toast. We had such a good meal! It was a treat for my daughter too who is accustomed to eating dorm food at school. If you are local, be sure to pop in for some yummy dumplings!

I am excited for the holiday season, and the opportunity to wear this velvet top more, as well as sparkling jewelry! What are you excited about style-wise this holiday season?

Thanks for stopping by!
