So this is just a post to say, Enjoy the cold. I'll send a post card from me and mickey.

Press Days!

I was lucky enough to be at Dunes SS12 Press day, they held the event at the Chilton street studios just neat Baker street tube station.

Honestly was amazing, the theme was spring summer, including vegetable patch and lily shoe lake!

I don't have many pictures just yet, but as soon as I do you will be the first to see :)

Crazy Bag Lady.

I am a compulsive bag collector, along with shoes. So basically I'm like a normal female? or male even. I have recently been searching the high street and online for a day-to-day bag which is suitable for work however smart, large to fit my daily essentials however not be to large to take up the space of a person on the tube (which my current Cath Kidson does and I get some terrible looks).

Here are some of my fav's from the high street, ranging in price depending on your budget. However if your splashing out Zara is defiantly the place to go..

Zara Soft Shopper £79.99 or Celine to your friends, they'll never know!

ASOS 70's Shopper £60.00

ASOS Velvet stripped shopper £45.00

Zara City Bag £59.99

Contrast Weekend Shopper £48.00

Faux Nuback Cream Holdall £38.00 (a new addition to my wardrobe)

Labeled the new 'It bag' of the season and spotted on arm of none other  fashion guru Olivia  Palermo the  Zara  plaited shopper at £79.99. Pricey yes, but looks a lot more.

Whats your go to classic bag? Has any of these made it on your Christmas list?

Gifts For Christmas,

So I started to draft a blog post with regards on Christmas ideas, I started to browse all the normal sites then I ventured over to Net-a-Porter, thinking of posting a luxury wish list.. then I came across these.. 

                                                                                   

 






Vogue Archive Collection, 
Net-A-Porter Describes the collection, "These prints were selected from the Vogue archives by Anna Wintour and feature five American style icons shot by legendary photographers. This boxed set of limited-edition prints is an investment in fashion history"




Now I love fashion history as much as the next girl, especially when its fashion portraits and style Icons! However at a pricey £2,300 its going to burn a hole in your back pocket. What I found more interesting was the fact this item and other's which are of a similar style and value have completely sold out. 


Hang on I thought we was in a recession? Would you buy the collection? But think about what else you could buy for £2,300?

12 Alexander McQueen Scarfs

Nine Micheal Kors Watches.. 

Or even 16 YSL Arty Rings,

Three Mulberry Alexa's?!?1 (okay Almost 3, you'd be £85 pound short)

Would you buy them? Whats your price limit this Christmas?

Versace For H&M

Working off Oxford Street has its advantages and disadvantages, being a five second walk away from the best high street in the UK? Advantage (okay disadvantage for my bank balance). Trying to walk anywhere in a hurry however being blocked in by 101 tourist stopping every six seconds to stare at a light, or take a picture of a bus -Disadvantage. 

 However as yesterday was the launch of Versace for H&M I had the advantage of previewing the collection online (before the site crashed) then spotting  the wounded fashionista's with black eyes and scratch marks to the face. Although there is a few lovely pieces which I craving just because I would like to loose my Varsace virginity, I must ask was it worth getting out of bed at 4am (which I know a few of you did) to add Donatella's designs to your wardrobe?

Anyway here are a few of my favorite pieces.
