When the moneys gone and all my friends have vanished

  

Primark - £9

I went into Primark with three aims: 

- Get a bag for school

- Get a bag that fits lots in to take to places that require lots of things

- Get a cardigan.

This bag was the accomplishment on the first aim. I take very little care of my current school bag because I don't like it and it's just really old and shabby now. Enter Primark. This bag is the perfect size for school because you can fit my A4 books in. I'm crossing my fingers that it's strong enough to support the weight of my hefty textbooks though.

This bag is also a replacement for this one that I got for Christmas two years ago, it lasted me a long time but has slowly fallen to pieces and the fastening is entirely held together by superglue.

Blake Lively for Chanel

Via here.

Blake Lively has been announced as the new face of Chanel Mademoisell handbags.

Blake was seen in a lot of Chanel last year and has also become good friends with Karl Lagerfield so I think we were all expecting something like this soon. 

I love Blake Lively, (seriously don't get me started on her hair ♥) so I'm very happy she has been chosen for it. 

She said 'A dream come true is an understatement'.

 I can believe that! 

Her campaign is due out around March.

bag love.

Finally, I have something fashion related to share with you! I got this bag for Christmas from my Grandparents (a lot of love and thanks for this!) and I love it so much! 

I knew I was getting it, but I was still so excited when I opened it. I saw it when I was shopping with my dad one day, but we didn't have time to have present negotiations so we left it. But I loved it so much, I kept talking about it and describing it to my mum. It sounds like I was hinting, but I'd already asked for it for Christmas as soon as we got home. I seemed to just need my mother to understand how beautiful this bag was and apparently this meant I would describe it to her several times a week (I'm glad she can put up with me)! Ha, bad case of bag love.

I think it was around £30 which is the most a bag has ever cost me that I've considered buying. Even though I didn't actually buy it, but you know what I mean. It was from Next, but I think it was one of their stores that stocks the last season stuff and we bought it in November. 

I've had a look on their website and found a page which shows all the tan bags. There's a few satchel type ones, some a lot more expensive than this one though! 

It's kind of like my substitute for the Mullberry Alexa bag, seen below.

Normally, I buy either small bags for when I'm just out and only need the bare essentials or big-ish bags that will do for school. But this one, this is different. This will definitely not be used for school. My school bags have a tendency of getting a little bit ruined, by no fault of their own usually. This one is too precious for me to use it for school! When my over protectiveness wares off, I'll start whacking it out a bit more. 

Are you a bag person?

New Look does a Mulberry?

New Look gives the Alexa a go?

I saw this bag whilst browsing online, as the roads are too dangerous and my throat too soar to actually be shopping, and it reminded me of the Mulberry Alexa Bag.

(A few little close ups for you as well)

They do it in black, tan and navy. And it's a fraction of the price of the Mulberry at only £24.99.

What do you think?

I'm sorry, but it's an obsession...

I am aware that this is perhaps the third post in about a week or so that involves a bag, but i just can't stop myself. I looooove Pauls Boutique SO much! I would buy everything on the website if i could, but as i mention way too often i am BROKE! No one wants to hire a fifteen year old, so theres no money being earned to spend on everything PB! Haaa . Anyway, this is my favourite bag from PB. £60 :( Oooh, but wouldn't it be worth every single penny!

Also, a couple posts ago i mentioned how i was going shopping again (2nd time, one week)? Well. Yet again i bought ZILCH! I think i said about my headache? Well, that was still going big and strong, although i also felt so sick! I'll spare you any gross details, but it wasn't a good trip and we had to cut it short, all because of me :( I felt tres bad, also meant we couldnt watch Toy Story 3 (which i have been waiting to see for weeks and weeks!) Feeling much better now though, a day asleep on the sofa can do a world of good!

Any thoughts on Pauls Boutique?

I'll be off now, big loves, V xx

Looks like I'm not the only one heading back to school..

September is looming and it looks as if the students aren't the only ones buying school bags...
