Designer Bags on a Budget


BAGS, BAGS BAGS! An ultimate indulgence if you can get the real thing, but if not, don't stress, there is always a high street alternative =)


Hermes
Birkin Bag: $10,000.00





Debenhams Dune Black 'Birkin' detail bag: £65.00


Alexander McQueen Novak Bag: around $1000


New Look Black Snake Print: £24.99


Ralph Lauren The Crocodile Ricky Bag: $22,500.00

Lipsy Croc Stud Dome Bag: £24.00 on own website; £38.40 @ Debenhams (original price £48.00)




Yves Saint Laurent Muse Bag: £1,300-1,600



Topshop The Daisy Bag by Marc B: £35.00


Hermes Kelly Bag: £6,000-8,000

Topshop Maisy Dogtooth Bag by Paul's Boutique: £61.00 


Longchamp Le Pliage Handbag: $100.00



Debenhams Principles by Ben de Lisi's: £25.00



The Chanel quilted 2.55 bag is my favorite bag style because it's sleek, sophisticated and strong. I personally don't have this bag, but I have one similar to it at a budget price and I've had it for 3 years now and it's still in good condition. The chain woven with the strap is beautiful and protects the strap from fraying.

Chanel Quilted 2.55 Bag: £1000-2000
New Look Quilted Silver Chain Across Body Bag: £9.99


Or
New Look Quilted Gold Chain Purse: £12.99

Till next time =)

Exhibit Night


The words "artsy fartsy" is kinda stuck in my head for some reason, I remember my cousin saying it one time, she was on an art course, so I hear her voice say it everytime in my head LOL... 

When I imagine what an accomplished artist would look like or what they'd wear, I imagine them wearing some sort of kimono. I love the kimono look, you can dress it up or down and it just looks so effortless. 

I also love the look of a traditional kimono, it just looks so lavish and an artwork in itself.

What kind of Kimono you wear or how you wear it, is really up to you. You can dress to impress or dress like you don't care, but putting on a kimono can complete your look and inspire it.
