The Cambridge Satchel

VIA (Cambridge satchel/Fashion squad) 

Right I have decided I want all these bags- their super cute, colourful and best of all their affordable for a quality leather bag. Starting at £74 to £84 for the classic and I have my eyes on theses three colors but I just cannot decide which one to buy! The navy is practical and goes with most things, but the green will add a pop of exciting colour to any outfit but to be honest I cannot stop admiring the purple size 13’ with embossing blind style writing H.G. These are perfect personalized satchels and I cannot wait till I get mine.

Pandora

I recently bought this small diamond ring for myself a few months ago, I never knew how hard it would be to find a ring for myself which would be exactly what I wanted. I wanted something delicate but modern that I could wear for day to day use, I finally found this Pandora ring at my local jewellers. It is very easy and light on the finger and it is really rewarding to know that I bought a diamond ring for myself. On my trip to Milan I will be looking for statement jewelry pieces in vintage shops and I cannot wait.

Milan wish list

Missoni bikini/PRADA pouch/Miu Miu belt/PRADA broach/Gucci scarf & Miu Miu purse  

In less than a month I will be visiting Milan and Florence for the first time and I am so excited especially as I am going with a great bunch of girls. I have created a wish list of little bits and bobs from Italian brands which are hopefully cheaper in their home town. I will definitely visit Missoni and hopefully buy a gorgeous bikini which has been on my list for at least two years now. I also love the PRADA “pouch” and that colour is just amazing and would add a great pop of colour to any outfit. I also want to visit some vintage shops to see if I can find some little gems, not long till I can explore!     


ASOS

This is what I wore for New Years Eve, we went to a Hed Kandi bar which was very cool and had a stylish vibe with great funky house music. I wanted to wear something colourful and I just fell in love with this backless design of the dress, I also like that it had long sleeves as it was freezing outside. I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year so far and I will be posting more of these personal outfit purchases.

Saturday 7 January 2012

I have been searching for a new shoulder bag- a little black classic leather bag. I have been tempted for a while now to purchase this little number from Zara and at only £16.99 it is a total bargain but something is stopping me, maybe the fact that I am visiting Milan in less than a month and hoping to find a little gem in a vintage designer boutique. But I guess I need to decided very soon before it sell out and well I just wanted to share with you this super cute mini shoulder bag from Dolce & Gabbana but at £670 it is just a little bit out of my student reach. 

Carine Gilson

I have a near obsession with underwear I love silk and lace with beautiful details and this Paris-based designer Carine Gilson designs sophisticated and luxury underwear and these are my top three choices. One is playful, the second old Hollywood and the third is for everyday wear. These beautifully hand-stitched under garments are on my wish list for sure.

Bare Minerals

I need to tell you about these new facial cleansers I have been trying and I have started to see progress. These products are a 100% natural ingredient that purifies and soothes the skin- I have been using the bare minerals products for about 2 months now and they have made my skin more smooth and soft. In the morning I use the Purifying cleanser and after the purely nourishing moisturizer (combination skin) and by night I use deep cleansing foam. I also use the makeup products by day which hides blemishes but still make my skin looks fresh and natural. I will do a post someday that shows the makeup products. I advise you to try at least one of the skin products and you yourself can see the different in using all natural products.    


This is one of the recent photo shoots I did for my school project; this is one of my favourite images I have taken. I wanted to create a painting like “pop art” poster that I could display on my wall or I just wanted to play around with photo shop and this is what I ended up with but I kind of like it. Hopefully I will be doing more photo shoots this year, so keep an eye out for new pictures by me.

MINT GREEN

                                       From left: looks From Vera Wang (1 & 3) and Jenny Packham (2 & 4)


One of my favourite pastel summer colours will be everywhere this summer, mint green. It is fresh, light, feminine and somewhat powerful. It has been seen on a various of catwalks for Spring/Summer 2012 and I have started seeing it appear in some stores also. So I have created a outfit that is a magical mix of casual and glamour, and shows how I will include the colour into my everyday wardrobe. Oh how I wish I owned this outfit, one day....

Net-A-Porter

The January sales are now up and running and as I was browsing the wonderful Net-A-Porter I just had to share the great deals on offer on designer goods. I have created four casual looks that I would wear and buy, I hope you get inspired and check out Net-A-Porter for great deals. I also will be doing more of these outfit looks to inspire myself and others-

I am going crazy over these beautiful Edie Parker clutches, my eyes popped and straight away I needed to see where on earth I could buy one or put on my massive wish list. So I have posted some of the lovely sparkle clutches from the designer which would be perfect for any cocktail bar and my soon exciting trip to Milan.
