Yep, i think shoulders could be big Autumn Winter 2009…

Do it to me baby

I’ve always been a shoe girl, I worked in Office during my university years and my shoes collection literally grew by the week- 35% discount & a mild shoe addiction does not a healthy bank balance make! I literally ploughed all my money into shoes and kind of forgot about the other passion many other women lust over, the handbag. I would literally be dancing about town in the latest, highest and craziest shoes ever accessorised with a Pradamark clutch.

As I’ve moved into working into 9-5 the growth of my shoe collection has waned (not enough wardrobe space + no 35% discount = sad me! ) but I have started paying a bit more attention to handbags, in particular It bags, I can’t actually afford a geniune It bag and I shy away from the imposters because I look like I can’t afford them and if most people are like myself they will just assume it is fake. However, I have dabbled a wee bit with bags which I would consider to be It bags! I def disagree with the common concept of the It bag, high priced with a long waiting list, I think the term of It bag should be broadened to incorporate any look at me bag that is not a product of the high street chains, why should us girls with smaller be refused the idea of owning an It bag of some sort?!

The bag I have just now which I consider to be my It bag is an Angel Jackson number and I’ve now got my eye on a couple other which aren’t quite at the same price level as Dior but splendid enough to be considered an It bag in its own right.

Mimi Charlie £155

Jocasi Girl about Town bag £110

 

Max C Studded London bag £28.00

 

Angel Jackson Disco Rainbow Jai £232

I’m coming over all teen-like

I just saw a sneak peak for the next Twilight movie, New Moon. The scene where Bella goes to find Edward in Italy (I’m rambling amn’t I?) In a nutshell it looks amazing!

Is it wrong for a 23 year old to fall in love with a fictional vampire character… no!! Thank god for that, was feeling like a bit of a loser there! haha!

Jump in the shoes

Its got to that time in the month where I am mega skint and everything I seem to look at I want to buy… I even found myself eyeing up a cheapo sparkly bag from the stalls at the shopping mall… who actually buys from these stalls??

Anyway, I stumbled across some amazing shoes which on first glance look fairly average but on closer inspection have exceptional detail with a few quirks thrown in for good measure.

I give you my latest crush, Studio TLMS :

The shoe above actually comes in cobalt blue also- beautiful!

Packages tied up in string

I have came across a wonderful emporium of all things fabulous and beautiful to drape across our lovely selfs…

It is a online shop called www.hannahzakari.co.uk and I have fallen in love with at least a million different items in the jewellery range.

Here are a few of my fave items…

Aren’t they lovely??? The eclectic-ness is amazing! Am so in love with the Guten Tag earrings! There is a deffo Urban Outfitters feel about the shop but the selection is so much greater and not so expensive, yeah a few items are pricey, but on the whole pretty affordable! Whoop!
