Eastern Delights.

Mr Lagerfeld you've done it again.

Chanel pre-fall 2012 collection showcased in Paris.












A-MAZING.


Off to London in February for London Fashion Week with my fellow fashionistas and literally cannot wait!

Looking at pre-fall collections has made me so excited to see what else is coming down the runways in the next few months!

Maybe next season, Paris?...


Maybe accompanied by some of these gorgeous treats...

Long Live Brit Fashion.

LITERALLY MY DREAM DINNER PARTY!

Sarah Burton, Alexa Chung, Victoria Beckham.

Earlier this week London was graced with fashion's finest for the British Fashion Awards where the woman in fashion certainly stole the limelight. The flawless Sarah Burton won designer of the year and I couldn't think of anyone more deserving. In the year she took the McQueen brand into her hands and designed that dress seen by millions around the world on the royal wedding day, Sarah Burton has done nothing but shone through in the fashion world.

Meanwhile VB took home the designer brand of the year award due to her gorgeous collections.
This year VB launched her new line Victoria Victoria Beckham which had a fresher feel than any of her other collections and was praised in the press for young, fun and easy to wear.



I personally love Victoria' handbags. The simplicity of them is flawless.





LOVE.LOVE.LOVE

Broken Heels.


Dolled up for a girly night of cocktails & dancing...

But what's in this Louis Vuitton style print bag?

    River Island Handbag.
All this squashed into this teeny over the body bag for one night out!
# Trusty flats for the stumble, i mean walk, home when the heels are just too much.
# Signature pale pink Mac lipstick.
# Concealer for quick touchups between bars & clubs.
# Bank card.
# I.D.
# Iphone to text/tweet/share how good the night is going!
# Camera to capture the best moments of the night.
# Front door key which fingers crossed will still be in the bag by the time it comes to attempt unlocking the front door!

Now where's the paracetamol for the headache in the morning?...

Return Of The Mac.


Never have I had such a case of the green eyed monster!
A girl's make up bag...full of secrets. I discovered the most amazing collection of Mac make up I have ever seen at our magazine shoot earlier this week. On opening her make up bag an array of products spilled out which helped create the model's stunning look for the shoot.








 
One of the best days I've spent in a long time, running around Fyvie Castle creating some vintage looks thanks to The Closet and Haggard's Case.

Everything But The Kitchen Sink.

If you are anything like me, there's not much that doesn't get thrown in your bag as you're heading out the door. I always wonder what someone might think of me if they were left to explore my bag of choice. What do I do for a living? Where am I from? Why on earth is that in there?! The list of questions is endless...
I myself am equally as nosy, so decided to simply ask the people around me, "What's in your bag?"
Enjoy...x
