Which would you buy? A or B?

I have a £50.00 House of Fraser voucher to spend left over from Christmas and I want to spend it on something slightly frivolous. I need new jeans but I'm determined to buy something I love. Looking online I have seen the following:

Option A - small cream Radley crossbody bag, this is a good size for me as I only like to keep a purse and keys in a crossbody bag.

Option B - Lucas Jack ring (I love his designs and ethics) plus a Clinique lipstick

Which would you choose? Thank you.

I love the rings. Very distinctive. Did you have a particular one in mind? Your link just seems to bring up all the Lucas Jack rings.

It is a dificult choice but I would go for the rings because they can be more of a personal signature piece than the bag.

Rings-the bag is great but have seen many like it. Those rings are spectacular!!!I think they would feel more like a treat. The bag is so practical

Wow. A really tough decision! The rings are fabulous, but there is something artistically appealing about the shape and simplicity of that cross-body bag. I think it has style statement potential.

I vote A along with nancylee. That curved seam on the bag is so simple, yet you never really see that on bags. It really stands out to me... kind of reminds me of the Getty Center here in LA.

Oh no! Both are very fab and a lovely statement. Which do you see yourself using more, Julie?

I'm not a bag lady--yet. I'd go with the ring and lipstick for an instant spring pick me up!

i would go for B. The white bag looks like you might be able to find just about anywhere but the rings are very different and not something you can stumble across in just any store.

tough choice, but I think I'd go with the bag. The lines are simple and elegant.

This is the ring I most prefer

My wedding ring is gold and grey is my preferred neutral so this ring makes sense.

Neither the bag or the ring would be worn everyday but they would both add something to my weekend outfits. I think I will have to see how the Lucas Jack rings look on my finger.

Wow, that is a tough decision. I think I'd go for the ring. I have a cream bag and while I love it, I don't love trying to keep it clean. Granted, I used the bag daily so yours may stand a better chance but that's my 2 cents.

So torn...lovely cream cross body bags are so hard to come by but those rings are spectacular. Sorry I'm no help Julie!

Debbie

I love the ring. It is beautiful!

Polly (thunalata)

If it were me I'd choose the ring.

Claudia

Veteran

Wow, that is a tough choice. Both items are really nice. The ring is beautiful and unique, but the bag is more useful... I am not any help here.

Julie, model both if you can over the weekend, and make an impulsive decision straight from the heart right then and there. Perhaps you'll come home with entirely something else

Good advice from Angie.
I have a slight preference for the ring, but spring is coming (so they tell me) and that bag would be a workhorse!

Lynne

Veteran

Julie, I was firmly in favour of the bag...until I saw the ring. It really is different, and will outlast the bag...and a new lipstick is a fabulous pick me up. So I am team ring at this stage...pls do post pics when you decide!

Aida

Veteran

I vote ring, but I love Angie's advice to make an impulse decision in person

Lori

Ring!

AJ

Veteran

Ring and new lipstick = instant pick me ups! The bag is cute but doesn't stand out like the ring does.

Kyrania

I really like the bag BUT I LOVE Angie's advise.....from the heart! ^__~

Jonesy

Veteran

I would go with whichever one makes you the happiest at the store! Maybe the bag will feel luxe and fab once you try it on, or maybe the ring will just scream "Take me home!"

Scarlet

Veteran

The ring and lipstick!

Ring.

Bag. But I need a cream bag for Spring.

Thank you ladies, once I was in the shop and slipped this ring on my finger I knew the answer, the colour is more flat cream (think cue ball) than the colour on screen. It looked good but not matchy with my pearls and will look fresh through spring and summer. I hope you approve.
