The Pierce Bag

I've been a bag obsessive since Day One. If I look back at my childhood pictures there I am, strutting about the place with a handbag hanging off my arm- and I think it's fair to say- nothing much has changed. I hadn't actually been considering The Pierce Bag until my friend Lauren from Fashion Panic got hers. And like a proper annoying stalky Single White Female weirdo- from that moment on- I decided that I absolutely needed one in my life. Thus the surfing and searching began. I did Netaporter, I did MyTheresa, and then- it happened- a beautiful discount code for Matches landed in my inbox. Yassss, there is a god (I cried), and she obviously digs on handbags. The big decision was the colour. I ruled out The Black straight away coz I already have a lot of black babies in my life, (as it were). The Navy is so bomb, but for me a little difficult footwear-wise (do you go matchy-matchy or clashy-clashy?); so I went for The Tan. My shopping experience with Matches was super-smooth (I asked the online stylist a couple of questions before I leapt and she was a dream). I'm so so happy with this new addition to the fam, and I have to give props to J-Dubs himself for creating It Bag after It Bag for his own line and for Loewe too. (Whatever 'It' is, he's got it). You feeling the Pierce bag? Let me know, catch you soon x

Good Friday

Here's a lil mash-up of hauls, nails and randoms that I thought I'd just share. Stupidly (and somewhat typically) I decided to buy loads of things right before payday. Brainiac? Not me. Restrained? Nope, not that either. But anyway, let's dive the hell in :)

Firstly- this insane amazing incred Topshop jumper. I just had to have this in my life. It's a bit JW Anderson I reckon, and ...well, not cheap at £40. However, WHAT.A.BEAUT.

Secondly- I went for these leopard print trousers in Zara. BUT...my heart sank yesterday when I saw Billie from TOWIE wearing the very same. God I wish that lot would step away from Zara, like, now. I know it's inevitable that you're gonna see everyone wearing the same things as you if you shop in the biggest most successful fashion chain in the world...but still....THEM....anyone but them.

Thirdly- how difficult is it to not love black and yellow as a combo? I went for these elephant print joggers (get yours here, and Holy Bank Accounts, if money were no object d'art I'd get the dungarees too). And, I got this lovely thin yellow knit to go with them.

Fourthly- I scooped up these daisy print jeans in Toppers too.....but you know the way changing-room mirrors always make you look thinner than you are? I think I might've fallen victim to that particular swizz having tried them on again at home. If however, you have a thigh-gap to rival Eleanor Calder get yours here. 

Fifthly- these heels were a must-have as far as I'm concerned...how good is H&M's shoe-game right now? If you don't mind a plastic sandal (and I don't) then deffo consider these.

Sixthly- I thought I'd just flash you my leather-look nails (soz about my veiny wrinkly auld hands). I'm cray for textured nails right now, and currently lusting after a Nails Inc 'Cement' polish too.

Also, I swiped these Gap printed loafers for like, silly money...I'm super-happy with 'em.

And finally....just a lil' snap of an OOTD. My sister saw me in this and said "You look like Louis!". Thankfully, she meant Tomlinson, not Walsh :) I was bursting with pride, as basically, I try and dress like 1D as much as is humanly possible. Incidentally, FML...where was Harry on Monday night? here, that's where. Where was I? Two minutes away, drinking green tea, sitting on the floor, watching Made In Chelsea. One day I will see him in the High Street, and my life will be complete :)

Have a gorge weekend xx

So, here's some lovely stuff I've been buying. I know I'm a little late to the whole 'Melting Chanel' thing but this tee was well cheap so I happily jumped on the bandwagon. I decided my pleather bomber was a touch Tulisa (gah!) so I changed it for your standard-issue tuff gal nylon classic instead. Also on the jacket-front, I did't think I could live a moment longer without a baseball jacket in my life and this Topshop one is excellent. (It's actually more of a heavy duty cardigan, but I'm digging that). And I've also added another pair of Jamie jeans to my world too....I already have, erm, several pairs and I love 'em like a fat kid loves cake. 

(Quite frankly I may well qualify for fat kid status myself shortly if I carry on munching away on scones and teacakes the way I seem to be).

The acid-wash mini is just pure heaven and is calling out for a bare leg like a MOFO. It's still way too cold for any of that just yet. (Hurry up and make it warm pleeeeze). You may have just noticed that I've also gone a lil cray-cray for a printed trooser here. But, what's not to like? All of these fit nicely and are such bargains, it's ridick. So I bought three pairs. Ooops :)

Check out my JW Anderson badge!!! I can't afford any of his new collection x Topshop but I managed to get my little token trophy collectable at the cashdesk...for freeeee! Woo!

And lastly, I don't think you're gonna find better than this Zara clutch...and it's got a freakin' shoulder strap. Too good.

Much love, bring on 1D @ The Brits tonight :)
