  • Coach x Peanuts Collection

    Coach x Peanuts Collection

    It’s official, I secretly have the fashion taste of a six year old girl. It was becoming more apparent with my ever growing collection of brightly coloured accessories and girly hair bows, then just as I thought I’d taken a fancy to something more grownup, I noticed that the bags I had been eyeing up, were in fact branded with Snoopy prints…

    I’m talking about Coach’s limited edition Peanuts collection. I instantly fell in love when I came across the gorgeous Coach x Peanuts Surrey Satchels. Made from cow hide leather and available in colours black, white, brown and yellow, in a mix of sizes mini and regular, these handbags are super cute! As well as having a great shape and design, each bag is embossed or printed with Charles M. Schulz’s drawings of Snoopy which makes me love them even more.

    The Surrey Satchels are what instantly caught my eye, however there are also tote bags and other accessories in this numbered, limited Coach x Peanuts collection. I’m not usually one for designer handbags (I’m more of a buy in bulk on the high street type of girl), however these little beauty’s certainly got my attention. I say if it’s ever worth splashing the cash, at least do it buying something good quality and unique.

  • Something Old, Something Blue

    Something Old, Something Blue

    Again we’ve been experiencing this unexpected sunny weather here in England and so my wardrobe is back to front. Just as I was about to start shopping for faux furs and winter boots, the sun has decided to stay a little longer and so I’m pulling out crop tops and light fabrics to keep up with the weather.

    I feel really unprepared for this sunny September and as I feel I’ve exhausted my summer wardrobe already, I’ve been forced to rummage a little deeper through my wardrobe and by doing so have found garments I forgot I even owned.

    Street Style

    I absolutely love these culottes but although I’ve had them a while, I’ve very rarely worn them due to the colour, as I often finding that they clash with most of my other clothes. Yesterday however, it was finally time to pull them out of the closet.

    I decided to team the culottes with a white crop top that I bought earlier this year, from Forever 21. I thought that the culottes and the crop top looked so cute together but this is where I had the dilemma of finding a jacket that went with the whole look. As I knew it would get a little chilly in the evening I was adamant I needed a jacket. Then voila, I found this little leopard print number that I’ve had since forever. With my brown bag and flats, I thought the jacket teamed the whole look together rather well. Not bad for an outfit that was literally thrown on.

    Leopard Print Jacket

    It was date night, so my boyfriend and I headed out for pizza and wine (my favourite), before going to the cinema to watch The Guest. If you were wondering, I thought that the film was unusual but I rather liked it. I don’t think that it will be everyone’s cup of tea but then I always seem to like strange films. I was most fascinated watching Dan Stevens playing a convincing psychotic American guy, long gone is Mr Crawly!

    What I Wore:
    Culottes: Rare London (Last year?)
    Crop Top: Forever 21
    Cropped jacket: Ebay (old)
    Ballet Flats: Topshop
    Bag: Zara

    Cons of wearing a white top to the cinema – accidentally spilling your Ice Blast down your front. Oops.

  • First Purchases Of September

    First Purchases Of September

    On Tuesday I headed to Nottingham to shoot for Speedo. My call time wasn’t until 12:30 and as I’d arrived in the city early, I couldn’t resist popping in Zara whilst I had time to kill and check out the new items they had in for A/W 13.

    As I make clutch bags, it is a rarity that I actually do buy bags but when I do they are often from Zara. When this cobalt blue handbag caught my eye, I knew I had to have it. The bag is great value and good quality and I LOVE the colour.

    Zara had some gorgeous shoes and boots in store for A/W (I shall be paying another visit soon). I love these monochrome flats I picked up. It’s not often I buy flats but these are certainly very me.

    My third Zara purchase was this pyjama style blazer/jacket. It was on sale so I managed to grab a bargain with this one. I think it will look great worn both dressy and casual and will definitely come in handy on some chillier nights out.

    The O.P.I nail lacquer obviously isn’t from Zara but it was a start of September purchase nevertheless. For me, I always find it important to own a nude nail polish. It’s good for when I’m modelling and I want my nails to look nice but not painted in a colour that stands out. My previous nude O.P.I shade DULCE DE LECHE, had just ran out so I decided to replace it with a new shade. I purchased O.P.I shade, DON’T PRETZEL MY BUTTONS as a replacement and I like this one even better.
