Sorry landlords, there are far more important things in life than getting a rent cheque in on time. Forgive us, but it’s no contest when it comes to our dedication to arm candy.

There are hundreds (believe us, we’ve counted) of bags out there that have the power to make us salivate, from clutches to totes to all else inbetween, but we found that our particular weakness lately lies in shoulder bags.

Here’s a list of 5 shoulder bags that are really testing our willpower right now. Apologies if you aren’t as strong-willed as us and end up splurging…
