chiffon cake...

So yesterday was my fella's birthday... So as tradition, I went out with his family for a massive meal. I figured a meal with his family would be the perfect time to wear my new top. I bought it on Ebay from China. Tis a lovely top but it was being sold as a dress. I foolishly only looked at how it looked on the model and didn't read all of the measurements... silly me, that model must have been TEENY! Oh well, I still think it makes a lovely top, especially for those nights when you want to make a little bit of effort without looking too done up.

I was originally going to wear all black with this outfit but then I thought it could handle some happiness, some colour, some festiveness... So I wore red! These are the cutest shoes I own and are sadly getting horribly scuffed at the back so I keep putting lashings on clear nail polish on them. And then we come to the bag, which I thought finished off this outfit very well. I wanted to feel cute last night and what says cute more than a big heart-shaped handbag? Answers on a postcard...

After shoes, bags are my favourite things in this world of fashion (I probably say that about a lot of things though.) I love all kinds of bags: old bags, new bags, big bags, small bags... The list is genuinely endless. I just think they finish off an outfit perfectly. But my favourite type is the clutch bag. For me they are the divas of the bag world. Can be tiny, can be big but always demand attention. There is something more elegant about having to hold your bag in your hand. Oh I just love them!

Just like your shoes, your bag should make a statement. It should talk to people, tell them all about you. Allow people to see a glimpse of your personality...

And of course it should be able to hold your whole world.

Here are the bags I wanna be rockin' this winter...

Lustful Thoughts...

I should be working on my portfolio but here is a peek at something I am in lust with... Yummy indeed! Not only is it turquoise (my favourite colour) but it's a satchel as well, satchels are goooood. And the detail on it is simply divine, I just want to rub my hand up against it. It is just gorgeous.

It is from Asos and comes in other colours such as a vibrant red or yellow. But turquoise is the colour for me. It is €85, which is a tad steep for this student budget of mine. Oh well, a girl can dream can't she?

I've noticed I've been dreaming a lot lately instead of buying :(
