I've seen this post knocking around on a few of your blogs, so I thought what the heck... here are some of the things I'm lugging around with me this month...
Bag- Zara This is my current 'go to' handbag when I'm not using my Aspinal. It has tons of room and goes with everything. Oh, and I'm kind of enjoying people mistaking it for a Prada too.
Vogue - for some reading on the tube. I love checking out all the make up in the adverts, looking at the stunning models, and coveting over the beautiful designer things. I just can't help myself...
Fur Headband - (Sweaty Betty) This literally hasn't left my head since I bought it. I kinda wish I had been born with this attached to my head. It's so warm and snuggley, perfect for this crazy weather at the moment. And perfect for my first ever ski trip later this year (Rosie Huntington has the matching ski onsie, so it must be cool, right?!).
Nars Laguna - Although I don't love this bronzer, I do love the gigantic mirror, perfect for on the go touch ups!
Essie Ballet Slippers - My current favourite, I'm keeping it handy incase of chipping, you know how it is ladies.
Kindle- At the moment im reading Treasure Yourself by supermodel Miranda Kerr. Yes my obsession with her grows each day...
What do you carry in your handbag?
Oh, and I have a cheeky 'behind the scenes' of my latest shoot coming up for you tomorrow, excited?!
Hello you lovely lot.
I'm in a super good mood today; can you see an obvious reason why?!
Last night, Stef surprised me with this beautiful Aspinal of London Marylebone Tote.
He'd seen me put up an Instagram photo of it, and then snuck off to Oxford street before I finished work last night to buy it for me. What an absolute sweetheart, THANK YOOOOU!
It was totally unexpected; I actually went into shock mode for a little while and couldn't stop staring at it, tehe. I feel so beyond spoilt, and very very lucky to have a fiancé who is so thoughtful and generous.
This is my first ever designer handbag, by far the most beautiful, perfect (and most expensive) bag I have ever owned. I totally and utterly in love with it, it's exactly my kind of style, plain and classic.
It does come with a rather hefty price tag (trust me to fall in love with the most expensive one), but that’s down to it being made with fancy Italian calf leather and lined with grosgrain silk.
It's incredibly sturdy, and has a range pockets for all your things, including perfect sized pocket for Ipads and smart phones.
I just dicovered that it even has two secret pockets you can get to without opening the zip, perfect for us city girls on the move. Stunning and practical, what more could you possibly want in a handbag?
One of the best features of the Marylebone, is that you can actually adjust the buckles on the side to change the shape of the tote to square whenever you fancy a little change. Technically, two bags in one then!
What I really like about Aspinal, is that it's a high end brand that not many people know about (unless you've seen them featured in Vogue). As much as I love brands like Mulberry, I love that I can walk down the street with this bag and not see a dozen other ladies carrying the same one.
I love that it's understated too, and doesn't have a huge Aspinal logo anywhere, it's very discrete and classy.
I've brought it into my office today to have a little show off (it had to be done, I'm very excited about it), but I think it's going to stay my 'fancy weekend bag' now. I definitely feel very special with this on my arm, and I'm already planning a 'What's in my handbag?' post for you.
Don't I have the best fiancé and the best handbag in the world?!
You can take a look at the Aspinal range here, they have some stunning bags. What are your favourite designer handbags?
I finally got around to making another video for
you guys, sorry it's been so long! Yes, it's the ever famous 'What's in
my handbag' tag. I am always so late to jump on the bandwagon aren't I?!
I did rant on for a while, sorry folks. Also, sorry about the
hangover face and 3 day old hair. Yes, I am a skank. It's been one of those days wear the PJs haven't come off yet. Hence the last shot in my video, spotty PJ alert! Don't judge me.
What have you beautiful people been up to this weekend?
On Saturday Stef and I had a private tennis coach for an hour. I felt kind of sorry for him because my skills are laughable, so he had his hands full, but that means I can only get better, right? After tennis I had a lovely catch up with a few of my uni buddies, we went to Gordans' Wine Bar (the oldest wine bar in London) on the Embankment. It's like a little underground cave, definitely recommend it if you like that kind of thing.
On Saturday night, Stef and I went to our favourite local pub in Clapham, where we gorged on hotdogs, pizza and red wine. We stayed up until 2am geeking out over this snowboarding movie. It's pretty crazy stuff, most of the shots don't even look real to me. It's absolutely stunning though, and makes me so excited go go snowboarding in the new year. Do any of you snowboard or ski?
Today all I've done is organise my wardrobe (yes, I like it to be in order) and film this video. I'm pretty nervous about my make-up artist course tomorrow, I'm just going to try and soak up as much as possible, wish me luck!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. Have you done this tag? Leave your links below if you have :)
