hand bags | Key To Me

Hello beautiful,

How are you? What have you been up to since your last visit here? If it is your first visit, tell me about yourself.

Today I have some super exciting news to share with you as well as a little surprise for you (so keep on reading ;)).

This week I went to pay a visit to Serena at Stellar after getting a message from her about going online in matter of days. I came to see the newest collection and chat about all the excitement.

You can see some of the amazing style available at Stellar in the following pictures.

On my way to Stellar I was wondering what I am interested in most, for myself as well as for you all. Quickly it became pretty clear that I need to see what they have to offer for us mothers. My style has evolved a lot since becoming a mother and my needs in terms of bag I choose changed dramatically. I know that I am not unique when I say that practicality of the bag is at most priority.

When thinking about it and chatting to Serena during my visit I discovered that there is plenty to choose from. I see how huge my bag had to be when Beno was 0-2 years old. Right now (he is almost 4 years old) I can get away with a little cross-body bag and see how that changes since he can carry a little backpack on his own ;). Having said that, I will soon be back to baby things everywhere plus Beno so I am already exploring new options. Hopefully some of you mamas of many children can help me choose (pretty please:)).

During my visit I was overwhelmed with the choices and very pleased to discover how comfortable the bags are. I was testing how much I can do single-handedly, without taking the bag off the shoulder, many bags passed the test.

All the pictures include bags that in my believe have a potential to being a ‘supermother’s bag of style’.

I also have been realizing how much power a great accessory holds…. and what is the one accessory we all need with us basically at all times? Exactly! Even husband has a question the minute you leave the house for a family trip.. ‘Did you take…. . Do you have… .’right?

So how about we treat ourselves to a bag that speaks our style and always makes us feel fabulous. Remember that you can rock a great bag even when running errands in you ‘tee and jeans’ combo or ‘trainers, leggings and a tunic’ set.

Enjoy browsing through the pictures bellow and here’s the news: on Friday the 18th of May Stellar launches their own website (www.stellar-shop.com) that will ship to all over Europe. If you want to read more about the business itself (who, how and when it was set up) here is my post from January when I visited them for the first time. http://www.keytome.co.uk/2018/01/13/key-to-finding-a-bag-of-style/

…and as my gift to you I managed to get an exclusive 10% off for you. When you go online simply enter the discount code ‘KeyToMe’. You can also use it in store (mention the code to ladies). Discount is not to be used in conjunction with other offers.

I am so excited for Stellar and for us ladies to have the Italian style at the doorstep. This is the only place in Scotland to have these particular Italian brands available for us.

Also follow Stellar on Instagram (Stellar Aberdeen) and on Facebook and make sure to tag them and me in you purchases, cannot wait to get inspired by your style.

Love you,

Gosia

Hello lovely people,

How come it’s Sunday already?

We are in what is statistically the lowest week of the year but I am not one to care about such things so let me share something exciting with you today.

I have recently met an amazing lady who happens to live in Aberdeen too. Serena Venegoni (oh how I love the sound of her name) is an owner at Stellar Aberdeen ( on Chapel Street ).

I love Serena’s story. She has lived in Aberdeen for 10 years (I can relate to that ;)), she worked corporate jobs for years and then went to have family and for almost 7 years looked after her children (I love this part too obviously). For her return to workplace she didn’t just choose to get a job, she chose to set up this stunning business and it is going strong. The name of the place is inspired by Serena’s daughters; Stella and Lara (that warms my heart so much and I really love the sound of it ;).

I love seeing women entrepreneurs and the fact that we can all get inspired by her.

In October Serena opened the boutique with most gorgeous Italian bags and accessories. I went to visit her this week and fell in love with the place, the atmosphere and the bags of course. I love that there is something for me and for my clients as well as YOU, reading and following my journey ;))

Serena’s knowledge about her product is insane. Brands that sell at Stellar include Tosca Blu (gorgeous colours), Trussardi Jeans (more casual trends), Cochinelle and Furla (designer’s classics) as well as Piquadro (incredibly practical high tech business bags and briefcases). Apart from that Serena designed her own Stellar silk scarfs, each pattern is inspired by different Italian City.

I love the classic pieces, the softest leather and sometimes a pop of colour. I already own an incredibly soft and beautiful scarf and leather gloves and will be returning for more soon ;)))

These are my personal favourite day to day bags. What are yours?

This time of the year is amazing to refresh our personal style, adding some investment pieces to make the style stand out (and taking advantage of sales ;))
