The LBB

Hello! The other day, my friend and I were talking about how everybody needs a little black bag. Something to just pop your phone, purse, keys and headphones in with a little pack of gum and a lipstick just for when you don't need to carry everything around with you. I use one of these for school and carry around my folders by hand as I find it easier to organize my stuff in a smaller bag. If I had a big bag for school, I would loose half of my life at the bottom of it until I finally decided that I need to find something a year or so later. So, I've hand picked some Little Black Bags that fit the description!

cedar street magnolia / kate spade - mini office city bag / zara - classic mini leather satchel / cambridge satchel company - mini bag w/ metal clasp / pull & bear - maria bag by marc b / topshop - black suede double pocket crossbody - river island - hamilton messanger / michael kors

My own LBB is from Pull & Bear, featured above which is big enough to put in my phone, headphones, gum, cardholder and my keys, as well as other smaller things that I have managed to clutter it with. I think black bags go with everything, so sometimes it's worth splashing out as they're so versatile and handy. Everyone needs a LBB, so if you take anything away from this post I hope it sends you in the direction of 'Add to Basket' followed by 'Checkout' and 'Pay'.

OOTD: Lunch With Gemma Sheppard

Hello! Back in September, I won a competition, along with 4 others to have lunch with Gemma Sheppard, a celebrity stylist who works with Vision Express and a charity I am very close with called CHECT. I will explain details in another post once I have gathered photos from the day but I wanted to show you what I wore! My very first outfit post...

Thank you so much to Gemma, CHECT and Vision Express for our lunch! We had a lovely chat based on confidence and how it can be improved, fashion, beauty and I feel really lucky to have had the opportunity to meet her! I will be posting more about this next week, so keep an eye out for more to come! 

Black Is The New Black

Hello! I've had an overwhelming craving at the moment to buy clothes. However, I tend to hesitate when purchasing a tshirt costing above £20 and my debit card cowers in the corner when I even think about purchasing a new pair of shoes. Having said that, I window-internet-shop at least 3 times a week and have baskets and baskets full across different websites, barely any of which I will probably ever buy but I have noticed a strong theme in my baskets. Black. I love it and I feel like I need it in my wardrobe. Plus, you know what they say, Black is the new black.

PEEP TOE FLAT BOOTS / BLACK SKORT / WOOL COAT / CROC-PATTERN SLIP ONS /
STRIPEY CROP TOP / SCALLOP EDGE SHORTS / PEEP TOE HEELED BOOTS

I love both pairs of boots, especially the flat ones and at £68, I'm already saving up. The skort and skirt will be amazing in the summer for smarter occasions, and you can get both in so many colours, not just black. I'm also in love with the Skater Shoes Topshop are doing at the moment in so many different materials, and rumour has it that they're super comfortable - bonus.

I hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day!
