Mulberry

Mulberry designs are ALWAYS delicious in stlye. i love the Mulberry Leah tote iin hot pink, its so vibrant and WILL add colour to a dull, drab outfit.


Mulberry Mitzy bags are also stunning, they have a really basic shape which is large with a long open zip for easy access to the contents. i love this pastel shade as its really summary and will add the coll calming look to an outfit.

Chloe

i was flicking through some old mags this morning and came across the chloe paddington bags...

..... This is a stunning bag of the basic paddington style. I love this style but think now its got a bit boring and needed a twist to it.

I came across a new style of paddington square shoulder bag which is a great shape and has the new twist i was looking for! ...

Radley bags

new collection of Radley bags are now online.. they are a range of sorbet colours which are fresh and calming.




They are a lot more mature looking than the older designs, i do feel this has a lot to do with the toned down colours. The style is also a lot more sophisticated which creates a much more calm feel.

Waistcoats..

I'd not thought about waistcoats in the fashion for a while, my friend wore one last night styled with lots of jewellery and some short shorts. She looked FAB and i think its time for us all to dig them out and style them with current trends for a fresh new look!!

Belts by Valentino, very over the top and highlight the best aspects of the outfit.

Leather

leather is taking a different spin on the usual black classic leather, its now styling the leathers in different colours to add a different twist to on trend fashions.

They have a very feminie look to them with shaped and tailored. The D&G mens range is toned down and 'machoed' up by rugged and 'worn' jeans.

Childrens bikini shocker!

I picked up a paper today and across the front was all about the childrens bikini shocker and how bad it is... with bikini images from 'leader' Primark, their padded bikini tops were selling at £4.00 and were flying off the shelves. After this scandal they have all been removed to avoid feeding into the media about the way it draws sexual attention.

The supposed bikini which is plastered all over the papers is a pink padded bikini with stars on it. Its said that the stars attract sexual attention. In my eyes i think the media need to get a grip. i mean a young child wants to wear a star bikini on her holiday and look nice. is this really such a crime?!?1 what has happened in this day and age?? seiously needs to sort itself out!!

Parents are being blamed for their children wandering around in such items.. so basically all you parents out there dress your children fro head to toe and do not let an inch of them be on show or you will be accused of 'exploiting' your child...

Sandals...

Since the weather has been so nice i have been looking at my sandal collection and its really lacking colour! This made me then start looking at new styles and colours to add a fresh look into the wadrobe...

I LOVE these sandals from Kurt Geiger.. cashing in at £190.00 .. I'd say they were worth a weeks summer wage though!!

Shoes by Steve Madden at £99.00 ... very simple style is complimented by delicate detailing making it an eye catching appealing shoe
