Top 3 Handbags/Purses!

As many girls, I own way too many handbags. However, not all of them are still in style or ones that I particularly like:P So I thought I'd write a blog post about my Top 3 favourite handbags and purses.

No. 3 - My Vintage Diesel Clutch. I absolutely love this clutch, I think it's so gorgeous and quite quirky with the faded details so I've gotten really quite a lot of ware out of this. I'm not much of a clutch-in-the-day kind of girl but with this bag, I feel comfortable enough to do so! This clutch was featured in my last blog post, so click here to see how I styled it! As I said, it's vintage therefore I have no idea of the price or where to purchase it from unfortunately.

No. 2 - I won't go on much about this bag since I wrote a whole blog post on it. But it's my Big Beautiful Backpack. Although this has only recently entered my life I know it will stay in it for a long time! The colour is perfect for styling all year round and the backpack style makes everything more convenient and practical! Accessorize - £35.

No. 1 - I don't think I've ever mentioned this bag in a blog post before but it's my go-to, black handbag from H&M. This bag is so spacious, so chic & so wearable. I'm not certain if this bag is still available but I highly recommend H&M for affordable but really nice quality handbags as I know plenty of people who love their bags from this store. I'm sure this bag will make an appearance throughout the next year as it's even wearable during the Spring & Summer!

Big Beautiful Backpack!

Another purchase from Accessorize! The quality of the bags - despite them being faux leather - are fantastic and since I got SO much wear out of my Summer Handbag whilst still maintaining its quality and shape, it was time for another purchase:P

I've never been the biggest fan of rucksacks, to me they used to be something 'practical' that seemed logical to take to school but I never really liked. However, seeing so many bloggers style this type of bag so nicely, I was quickly hooked!

It's like a Tardis - it may not look that large at first glance, but when opened up it actually has lots of room for all sorts of crap that us women (and possibly men) carry around with us as a shield. Because of its neutral colour I think it'll be easy to style all year round! ('How to' styling post coming soon).

Another reason why this is such a useful bag - it'll be great for back to school, plenty of room for books, maybe not big lever arch files but I'm sure we can all handle that:P

That's all I have to say about this accessory for now, but keep an eye out for a styling blog post by following me on Bloglovin' - #shamelessselfpromo. Cheerio!

The Playsuit's Debut!

So, I bought this playsuit a few weeks ago now from Missguided after months of eyeing it up! The time finally came and when I ripped open the parcel I was grinning with delight. A few days after I received the item, I decided to debut it on a trip to one of the most beautiful places I've seen; Oxford University.

I've decided to make this post a mixture of lifestyle and an OOTD so here it is! In case you didn't know, Oxford University is one of top universities in Britain (alongside Cambridge) and probably one of the best in the world. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit the place on an Open Day and it was very memorable indeed.

I won't bore you with where we went and what we saw and everything, but I will share with you some pictures of some of the colleges and buildings there as they are breathtaking!

                                            

Back to the playsuit:P I personally adore playsuits as they're extremely comfortable and the designs are always very pretty and lovely. This one is the best I've seen since I've been looking as the structure of it makes it more appropriate to wear in the day and evening, as well as the fact that it isn't something that you can only wear on the beach. I find it very flattering as the structure of the shoulders and the lower hip balance each other out, making you look perfectly proportioned!

The pattern is beautiful and I know that I'll get SO much wear out of this! On this particular day I decided to accessorize in a minimal way, with a simple silver necklace and two silver and pearl bracelets to tie the look together. I went for minimal accessorizing as the pattern of the playsuit makes such a statement by itself! I chose to wear these nude pumps but that was a HUGE mistake as I got awful blisters from them and I was sadly in pain for the afternoon.

                                    Sunglasses - Urban Outfitters. Necklace - Dorothy Perkins.

                Bag - Accessorize. Nail Polish - Hip Rose by Barry M.  Bracelet (pearl) - notonthehighstreet.com

                                                              Shoes - New Look

Nevertheless I still had a wonderful day and I will never forget it (cheesy but true). Have any of you visited Oxford?

My New Summer Bag!

Hold on folks, a new bag has arrived. Many women spend days, weeks even months finding their perfect spring/summer bag - i was lucky to have found mine when i wasn't even looking or planning in buying a bag! I was shopping in Belfast the other day with no intention of buying a bag as I haven't really seen anything on the high street worth buying. But, i was passing Accessorize and in the window, displayed beautifully was my bag. I knew that it would be my bag the second i saw it! Although being so indecisive i debated whether to buy it or not... After some convincing by my friend, mum and myself i handed over £25 at the till and it was mine!

Yellow isn't even a colour I'd normally go for, I dont think i own anything yellow so I've definitely stepped out of my comfort zone but I'm so happy i have. The structure is so gorgeous and is again different for me since i usually go for a satchel or Cath Kidston handbag without much structure. So all-in-all, this is an out-of-comfort-zone purchase:P


I think this will go with everything as it's a pastel-muted yellow. Also, there's an extension strap inside which will turn it into a more casual bag, sitting just below the waist. The quality is really good and definitely worth the money (and more!) and I know I'll use this everyday of the summer!

This may not be the bag for you for whatever reason but i highly recommend Accessorize for bags this season as they have a beautiful selection of different styles and colours. So if you're struggling finding your perfect bag for a reasonable price then head over to accessorize and it should help!
