Happy Mint Hares

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Aloha Sprinklerinos,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before Christmas, on one of my many jaunts through ASOS (an online clothes shopping haven), I stumbled across a bag that embodies everything I look for in a piece of arm candy and snapped it up quicker than you could say, 'Shouldn't you be saving for a holiday?".</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">ASOS Mint Hare Bag </h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJKkS6JM1JCDevpod-dzwOnQ1YaSwecMYrKGQY5fbhwsuDRnKcH1ZheTD6jxf6wYApTsZe0WUwmaQ2W7kA2uAd4EKryquVUn8uG1lrgilNHd6GQE_cN4nxWFDS8eDGbIiqTTsIoCmgJD3v/s1600/Mint+Hair+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJKkS6JM1JCDevpod-dzwOnQ1YaSwecMYrKGQY5fbhwsuDRnKcH1ZheTD6jxf6wYApTsZe0WUwmaQ2W7kA2uAd4EKryquVUn8uG1lrgilNHd6GQE_cN4nxWFDS8eDGbIiqTTsIoCmgJD3v/s640/Mint+Hair+1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh hello <a href="http://www.asos.com/ASOS/ASOS-Tassel-Bowler-Bag-With-Rabbit-Fitting/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=2544688&SearchQuery=mint%20bag&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Mint" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">beautiful mint green bag</a> with (faux) gold hardware, tassel and a embossed hare detail. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUehmfxLcStRrntDwy1T8Bz7UOySpgjCfuBAJkH6xpv7UOL3L7WYfnVknlooDg-5eXpC7yOk07auiR3VsCByO17YXWIbxrX4pdW0ZB1ThowLqAsWetk2-63dhOA4D0zoEldWUXdRKaLqG/s1600/Mint+Hare+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNUehmfxLcStRrntDwy1T8Bz7UOySpgjCfuBAJkH6xpv7UOL3L7WYfnVknlooDg-5eXpC7yOk07auiR3VsCByO17YXWIbxrX4pdW0ZB1ThowLqAsWetk2-63dhOA4D0zoEldWUXdRKaLqG/s640/Mint+Hare+2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This bag is described as a 'Tassel Bowler Bag" but in my humble opinion it should be the Mint Hare Bag- far more whimsical. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Retailing for £35 for not real leather, I do think the pricing is a little steep. However, the fact that it is mint & gold, has forest animal detailing (I have a love of woodland creatures), is large enough to fit all my mummy junk and regular stuff in it, can be held with short handles or long straps and has a tassel....well that makes up for it for me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjieLs1nnoFkVW5inBv-L84mSJefWB-U255uo4KPcoc5pqY23iaWT8DG4TXWLRRUqvnx8kFfX2RC_24cs2gSphMW1H11EoO2ihyVYGZBr7yvIe8_c-BglX3mSCE-ZCncXmA4AgaOsK9S7BL/s1600/Mint+Hare+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjieLs1nnoFkVW5inBv-L84mSJefWB-U255uo4KPcoc5pqY23iaWT8DG4TXWLRRUqvnx8kFfX2RC_24cs2gSphMW1H11EoO2ihyVYGZBr7yvIe8_c-BglX3mSCE-ZCncXmA4AgaOsK9S7BL/s640/Mint+Hare+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This bag is just what I needed to brighten up a grey January and look forward to Spring with. I tend to wear a lot of pastels and florals from about February-August, so with any luck, this will see me through. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I haven't had an opportunity to take it outside a lot and really road test it so at the moment, on the durability front, the jury's out. I've never had a 'big bag' from ASOS before so I can't even look back and compare, but based purely on aesthetics, I LOVE IT! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think? How much do you allow yourself to spend on a 'big bag'? I think my limit is about £60 if it's very, very special. Let me know in the comments, I'm interested.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Toodlepip!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">xx </div>
