This Topshop bag keeps appearing on Instagram for a very important reason
Must. Buy. It
Must. Buy. It
Just when I'm starting to feel a bit smug that I haven't bought anything new this month - I'm one pair of shoes away from a divorce on the grounds of 'unreasonable amount of clothes' - Topshop goes and ruins it all.
The high-street store has just served up a super cute beaded bag called the Mykonos tote and it's giving me all the holiday feels.
I spotted it on Instagram by way of a few of my fashion editor friends, and now it's taking off with the influencer crowd too.
It comes in two block colours, black and yellow, and then two multi-coloured versions, one in pastel tones of white and pink, and the other in green, black and white - my personal favourite.

I love it because it's a fun and purse-friendly way to tap into the beaded bag trend, so it's not like you'll regret it come next summer if they're not a thing anymore.
