Olympia Le-Tan Book Clutch

I'm definitely not the only one enamoured with the creations of Olympia Le-Tan and I'm probably not the only one who would still never ever spend over a thousand pounds on what's pretty much just a book without any pages in it. Still, I'm kind of tempted by the idea of bringing a bit of literary chic to the discotheque (that's what they call it these days, isn't it?). 

I never really buy little clutch bags as I don't really go out that much now that I'm not in first-year anymore and also, they're just really impractical, yeah? Too small to cram even my keys in (probably my fault for putting on a varied selection of keyrings, including but not limited to: a LEGO Ron Weasley, a Spitfire, a Battlestar Galactica fighter jet and a yellow Barbapapa) and so I end up either

1) Stuffing my coat pockets full of stuff

or

2) Getting my boyfriend to carry everything

or

3) Staying in and watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Option number three wins in 95% of cases, I must confess.

Anyway, I am now torn between the urge to get crafty and make my own book clutch (can't be that hard?) and the horror of buying a book and then tearing out all the pages.

In other news, I am home in Sweden, doing nothing but eating the vastly-superior-to-British sweets that are on offer in the shops (salty liquorice and faux-fancy elephant-shaped chocolates) and playing with my new Nexus 7 tablet. Oh, and I should be doing enormous amounts of dissertation work but let's ignore that, shall we.
