crystals are a girl's best friend

I'm not normally a fan of covering things in loads of tiny diamantés, I always cringe when I see people with blinged out blackberrys or iphones, to me it's more tacky than chic. However these Judith Leiber clutches are a work of art, and besides they're not diamanté really, they're 'crystals'. Although the multitude of colours are pretty breath taking my favourite has to be the chic and simplistic rabbit, it reminds of a Kit Williams piece with added glitter!
Retailing just shy of £3000 each I don't think I'll be purchasing one any time soon but that doesnt mean I can't stare longingly from afar....

bag one now!

I've never been that excited by the celebrity-turned-designer collections. They're normally just ridiculously overpriced and crap quality. Kate Moss for Topshop especially has always bored me, so dull! But recently the Alexa Chung for Madewell collection has got me thinking maybe the celebrity/designer thing aint so bad...

Definitely the best of the celeb designed ranges out there at the moment are Mischa Barton bags, after buying one on impulse in the January sales, I'm hooked. Although I really dislike Mischa I have to admit her style was pretty cool and she was clearly inspired by 60s and 70s groupies. All the pieces of her collection reflect this as they are all clearly vintage inspired, yet they don't look at all gimicky.

This doctors bag is my absolute favourite from the Spring/Summer range and is on sale now at Tesco.com for £56.25. I'm not sure why Tesco stock the brand, and I've never ever seen the bags instore but buying them from Tesco.com is definitely cheaper than directly from the bag site. If you can't get to a Tesco never fear, John Lewis and Debenhams also stock the range!

Mini Doctors bag £29.95 @ Tesco.com

Sienna Bowler bag £63.75 @ Tesco.com

the visual wishlist

on my shopping wish-list at the moment:

1) Sweet pastel satchels from Topshop £90.00. I think the blue is my favourite...

2) Some sexy Mrs Robinson style suspenders from Urban Outfitters £10.00. I saw a girl wearing these with a navy skirt and blazer on the net somewhere and it look uber cool. I've lost the link though so you'll just have to believe me when i tell you the outfit looked chic!

3) Liberty and APC collaboration line, the perfect prints and the perfect shapes. The second dress is very Virgin Suicides-esque, reminds me of the matching dresses they wore to their prom.

4) HAD to show you these super cute smiley fruit vests! Fun and summery from Urban Outfitters £30.00
