Top 10 bags of all time

Mulberry Leopard Print Bayswater
Was very disappointed when it was discontinued but had the pleasure of convincing a lovely guy to get it for his wife for Christmas. He also got his friend the bright pink bayswater, which I love as well. Absolutely gorgeous... sigh.

Hermès Kelly bag
I think its amazing that this bag wasn’t a hit until Grace Kelly was photographed wearing it in Cannes in 1956. I like it because it has a great shape and there's something really feminine about it.

Chloe Aurora bag
Gorgeous, a lovely structured bag!

Celine Boston bag
At first I didn't really like these, but they've grown on me - my favourites are the all black and the black and tan. I've also seen a beautiful bright pink nano one which I would die for!

YSL Cabas Chyc bag
Saw this in Selfridges first and then came across it loads on people's blogs and on lookbook. It is perfect - you can dress it up or down and I love the shape. Gorgeous.

Givenchy Antigona Tote
A classic bag. This one is fabulous in pebbled orange.

Miu Miu Glitter Satchel
Because who doesn't like a few sequins? It feels lovely too, all the sequins go opposite ways so its all different colours. Really pretty and girly - good for day and night.

Kate Spade 'Eat Cake For Breakfast' Bag
I have always loved Kate Spade, and all their bags at the moment are stunning and really summery. They have two new(ish) shops in London which I really want to visit.


Anya Hindmarch Valorie Glitter Clutch
Another glittery bag, which I like in all the colours I've seen it in - which is a lot.

Prada Saffiano Leather & Canvas Bag
Another classic bag with gorgeous detailing.

Of course there are many many more, but these are definitely some of my absolute favourite bags that I would get if I was rich/a secret heiress/won the lottery. A girl can dream...

What's on my wishlist: Pray for Anna Wintour T-Shirt and Marc by Marc Jacobs glitter mouse flats

Most-loved items this week


Printed t shirt
£30 - prayforparis.bigcartel.com

Zara
$80 - zara.com

Marc by Marc Jacobs ballet flat
£235 - net-a-porter.com

CAMISOLA DECOTE LÁGRIMA
€30 - zara.com



I have been in love with these amazing Marc by Marc Jacobs flats since I saw them on Matches ages ago; I also like the black studded ones.  The watch is something I have also had my eye on for a while, but I have no money whatsoever at the moment from paying for my ballet (I have teaching exams soon so the cost is outrageous) so don't think I'll be able to get it, however fun and sparkly. Something I may be able to afford, however, is the Pray for Anna Wintour t-shirt which I first saw on Alexandra Pereira from LovelyPepa. The t-shirts Pray for Paris have also feature Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Kate Moss and Terry Richardson, but my favourite is defintely the Anna Wintour one. I'll be getting it in a larger size I think so I can roll the sleeves and tuck it into trousers and skirts for a nice, chilled look.

My Favourite Topshop Heels at the Moment





1. WOWZA metallic wood heel wedges, £65 
2. LIMA wooden heel sandals, £85 
3. PREMIERE glitter strap wedges, £92 
4. LIONESS blonde wood sandals, £85 
5. WYNNA glitter wooden wedges, £55 
6. LASSIE leopard stacked sandals, £55


Aren't they fantastic! I have an obsession with gold and glitter at the moment so these are perfect and really wearable. Sometimes I'm not a great fan of the Topshop clothes but I think you can always count on them to produce amazing show-stopper shoes.

On my wishlist right now: Frieda and Nellie bracelets


"While traveling in Ecuador in late 2009 Herzog and Reid were inspired by the diverse array of intricate knotted friendship bracelets and were instantly reminded of their friendship bracelet making days at summer camp."

I love these Frieda and Nellie bracelets. I first saw the two friends on The Glitter Guide (there are some fab photos of them like the one above), and fell in love with the combination of vintage rhinestones and colourful friendship bracelets. Unfortunately they are a bit out of my budget but if I won the lottery right now (fingers crossed), these would be the first I'd buy...

Frieda's - Boardwalk Express

Frieda's - Ravashing Rodea

Frieda's - A Rose By Any Other Name

Metal Mamas - Silver Lining

Nellie's - Tap Dance Queen

Zara shopper basket

I have been looking at this bag in black for ages, and after seeing it in this two-tone colour and having a bit of money in the bank I bought it! I'm admittedly not usually a fan of tan bags, however I think the pops of orange and pink just make it fab and so summery. Another big bonus, my mum got the bag in black. It isn't as nice as this, but now I can borrow it...

Exam treats

I haven't blogged for a long, long time now, I'm really sorry!

I'm ill at the moment and can't actually speak - dreading work tonight! I've also got my AS level exams next week, and as a "well done for working hard" treat to myself (we all need some retail therapy sometimes!) I've bought myself:

A fantastic "Smile" belt which will hopefully motivate me through exams


This super cute colourful bracelet - I've recently been inspired by Chiara Ferragni's armfuls of bangles

And these 70s sunglasses, to get me in the summery mood!

I have been trying to save up at the moment for a gap year, but to be honest I'm the worst person ever at saving so I'm kind of giving up. I always see something I like and the temptation is too great!
