BAGS BAGS BAG!

Because the lady loves ^_^
I love a good strong leather handbag with buckles and shiney bits and stuff hanging off and sewn in, but I must say I have a massive soft spot for tote bag and just cute bags with cute designs on them. A great flirt bag, a bit of fun child like to some extent but none the less gorgeous.




This is a Harajuku Lovers bag, and one I own. It's titchy yes, but perfectly sized. I can fit my purse, perfume, gum, phone, facial spray and still have room for chocolate! the back features another girl, this one blonde, which is has also been made into a small bell [if you look at the girl on the front's hair you can see a yellow thing, this is the bell] though very cute, it's also reather annoying, so I've taken it off and am using it on my feather garland I have at home.

I am a sucker for a swallow motif! This bag I found whilst trawling the internet, and it's so pretty, a vintage design with birdies! Yum :D

A Kin designed tote bag, made on 100% natural cotton, yes I do have to love this bag as I stock it at www.plumelifestyle.com , but it's so girly and youthful, bright and colourful! Loves it!


Yes I've falled for this 'Mad Hatter' tote bag. I love the simplicity of it, I am a sucker for monochrome! Featuring the on trend Mr Mad Hatter, but the old school story book sketched look. Great for day wear or jazzing up your grocery shopping ^_^



This bag is called 'Happy Robot' *wonders why* haha. It's just so cute, I love that you can see the straps sewn through in the black with the picture near the bottom piece. Looks like a great beach bag!



I have hundreds, well not hundereds [i'm not allowed] but I have loads of tote bags, from a white and yellow polkadot with a bird on to a black with vintage gold giant hearts all over. Bags, no matter what, I love them!

HOT TREND : BLUSH!

Finally a trend I can do! No more squeezing into skinny jeans :D we've got rather comfortable jeggins and treggins and other things ending in ings!


Team them with natural soft colours and girly floral prints. I like to think of ice-cream colours when choosing my tops, ice-cream colours are soft not quite pastel shades but equally yummy!






Showing off your pins in tight leggings is the perfect accompaniment to summer loving floaty tops! I prefer wearing vest tops and a floaty top over the top, sometimes floaty tops can make one with a bigger chest look pregnant rather than gorgeous so I like to team a floaty vesty style top with a contrasting coloured vest top underneath or wrapping a belt around the waist of a longer sleeved floaty top.







The best way to add the little bit more colour to an outfit is with accessories, I love love love rings and nail polishes and cute necklaces. So I've had to treat myself with some more 'Models Own' nail polish in 'Buff Pink' and treating myself to some 'Stacked Rings' from 'Top Shop' and 'Vintage Necklaces' from 'www.plumelifestyle.com'


Next I am in search of a lemon yellow top...I already have the nail polish :D

it's the little things

we all have a weakness, some love handbags others have to have all the shoes in the world then there's me, i have a weakness for all things!
But most of all it has to be rings, big chunky costume jewellery style rings!
I am hoping to stock them at http://www.plumelifestyle.com/ but it's very very hard to find stockists! which is frustrating!
so here's some of my favourite rings, i own or soon shall!

these are murano glass dome, i have one in nearly every colour and they are all gorgeous! perfect and easy to match any outfit.
this is one i found on my travels around the world wide web, it's so kitsch and cute! this ring doesn't cost the earth either and the clock actually works!!!

I own one of these, not this exact pattern though. These are Japanese Kimono rings, the clue is in the name. these rings have a piece of kimono silk encased in clear acrylic, how cool is that?!



this is my party ring! it's quite long but it always gets compliments! They are tall at the front and tapered at the back with flecks of silver foil encased in glass. So I'm extra careful when i wear this baby!




finally I've always had a thing for birds, not watching them or anything, just their silhouettes.
so when i came across this i had to get it!...don't know why there's a fox in there but hell it's cute ^^
till next time!

It's my thing ^^

So with all this gloomy weather we're having at the moment i decided to brighten my day, well my nails, with some fun vibrant nail polish!
I've tried all different kinds and brands of polish, here are some of my favourites!



First up is Rimmel London I Love 280 Sunshine
This was given this one by my mum, and it really does last. This colour does need about 3 coats to give the full impact of colour but gosh is it tough stuff! I'ev been out and about all day using my hands, doing housework washing up (which usually is a killer to all nail polishes) and not a single chip! Plus it comes in up to date colours to keep with the ever changing styles.






Yes another Rimmel London, what can i say?! I'm a sucker for it! This is one of my favourite colours,398 Black Pearl. a must have for anyones nail varnish collection! It's dark, with a subtle shine, so will go with any outfit to give that rock chick look. Though I've never got it to last 10 days without a chip or a flake, it will last around 6 if you take care with what you're doing with your hands!





Next up is one of my new favourites by 'Models Own' called Bubblegum.
This colour is not for the fient hearted, it seems to get brighter in the sunlight and is practically glow in the dark! Why I love Models Own nail polish so much...it drys in what seems like second! and not like the nail polishes that claim to dry in 60 seconds, and only go a little dry on the top but as soon as you touch something it smudges! This properly drys in 60 seconds! It also lasted me 3 days before I stupidly chipped a nail! The picture doens't really do the colour justice but it is amazing!


I'm going to finish off with this GOSH 02 Pearl. No i don't use this on my finger nails, this one i save for my tootsies! In the summer time when you un-retire your flip flops and bring out the fake tan, nothing makes your feet look more pampered than a subtle shimmer of pearl on your toes, it'll make a huge change to the heavy plumbs reds and other dark colours. And because it's for your toes I've never found this one chipping either! s
