Backpacks and Fannypacks...

Hi everyone! 

So backpacks and fanny packs or bum bags, whatever you like to call them are BACK. 

It's time to go back to school. 

This trend can be great for both Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer. For the current season I am loving the structured smart leather rucksacks that are out there, and also the black studded slouchy backpacks. 

I also absolutely cannot wait to make the most of metallic and pastel shade rucksacks when spring comes!

Here's a few of the ones I'm loving the look of...

Most of the bags above are pretty pricey, so if you want a cheap way to enjoy this trend definitely have a hunt around the charity and vintage shops for something that you won't see anyone else wearing.      
There are also plenty of little rucksacks around that are great for nights out as an alternative to an across body or clutch bag that most of us use at the moment. 

Don't be afraid to personalise your rucksack! You can buy studs on ebay that are easy to apply and will give a great punk look to a plain rucksack. 

In terms of bum bags, I don't think I will be sporting this trend until I go to GLASTONBURY for my 21st birthday this summer. 

However, I am a bit ahead of the game and have my eye on a few already.

Hope you all enjoyed this post and it will inspire you to embrace this trend.

Recent Shopping Trips...

 Hi everyone,

Today I thought I'd show you a few of the purchases I have made on some recent shopping trips.

Designer Lingerie Sample Sale

Last month I went to a designer lingerie sample sale in London with one of my friends Lexie who is also a fashion student and blogger (www.lexiesfloordrobe.com). She had worked as an intern for the lingerie brand 'Damaris', and heard about the sale through them.

Often sample sales are invite only, whether you work for the company or you are invited as a guest by someone who does. However, not all of them are so keep your eyes pealed for any that are advertised on social networks and such alike. They are GREAT!

We couldn't get there till the evening so were a bit worried that the best bits would have gone, but we both got some great treats at excellent prices. Definitely one of the perks of working in fashion. 

Here's a sneeky peak at a few of the items I bought...



Sheer, studs, lace, silk, handmade

As everything was so cheap, I got a bit over excited and ended up buying more than anticipated and spending an absolute fortune. I guess it's not often that that kind of opportunity arises though (trying to justify this to myself).

I bought into three brands at the sale, neither of which I had heard of before but am now totally in love with. They were:

Nichole de Carle

Sexy Panties and Naughty Knickers

and Ell & Cee.

Lucky boyfriend but also lucky me...I have noticed that wearing beautiful lingerie underneath my clothes, even if no-one can see it, made me feel great and really confident. Definitely going to invest more in future...you should try it too.

Underwear is just as important as outerwear will be my motto of the month.


 If you are interested in seeing some absolutely fabulous lingerie, you must check out the Victoria's Secret catwalk shows, they are amazing every year...as are the models! Here are my favourite outfits from the 2012 show...

Thanks for reading my blog. I hope you enjoyed this post.
