New Bag! Paul's Boutique

As soon as I saw the press pictures of this bag I knew I had to have it.  I mean just look at this beautiful blue colour!!! It is so different to anything else I have and the shape is gorgeous.  Plus it is faux leather so suitable for vegans and animal lovers!!

To my surprise I realised it is by Paul's Boutique! They have had a complete rebrand, and are now officially amazing!

They have gone from young, brash and slightly chavy to sleek, edgy, urban and very cool!!!

The bag has a shoulder strap and sits really nicely on your side while using it. It has multiple pockets inside, including the must have one for your phone and a zip section for valuables.  I am in LOVE with the bright pink trim!! Oh so pretty!!

I have had so many compliments since I have started using this bag, looks like it's not just me who loves it!! Well done Paul's Boutique :-)

Head over to paulsboutique.com and check out their new bags, you will love them.

Work out Wear on the High Street

Nothing makes me want to hit the gym faster than new work out gear!! Some high street shops have a great selection, nice bright colours and good prices.  Some of my favourites are H & M, Victoria's Secret and Primark.  I do think high street shops are missing a trick not stocking funky work out gear... after all isn't this the year we saw the rise of the #gymselfie

Michael Kors Jet Set Wallet Pink and White

On the way back from California, I treated myself to this gorgeous Michael Kors Jet Set pink and white wallet. I loved the colours and the little wristlet.  Plus it was at duty free so I got the discount!

Nothing gets me in the mood for working out faster than a fabulous new outfit! So with that in mind,  I trawled the internet for some new goodies and was actually really disappointed.  I couldn't find one place that had all the stylish gym gear I was looking for.

Another day, another dreamy celebrity style. This time it is the fashion guru herself, Victoria Beckham.

Wildfox Haul*

Wildfox is a brand that I love for their girly, fun and colourful clothes and jewellery.  They have a laid back, cheeky vibe with their slogan tops and ripped jumpers. Seen on celebs from Katy Perry to Alessandra Embrosio and The Saturday's.  I have to say they are not the cheapest of brands but I find their clothing to be a good quality and don't mind paying that bit extra for something really special.

A couple of weeks ago Wildfox sent me a goody bag filled with some gorgeous pieces that I had to share.  The tops are definitely more suitable for summer, I am imagining wearing them around the pool when I go to Las Vegas in May!

How cute would these t-shirts look with some cut off denim shorts?  I love this 'let's sleep in' jumper. It is lovely and oversized with a fleecy lining, so cosy for a rainy winter day lounging around the house!

Have you got any favourite Wildfox items?

Sale Find!!! Topshop Blush Pink Mac

Hello lovelies, 

I like many of you enjoy a good burst in the sales.  Who doesn't love a good bargain?  I got a few things but this is definitely my favrouite and I am so excited to show you.

I picked up this gorgeous blush mac coat in Topshop.  It was originally £79 and I got it for £10!!!! Can you believe it?! Such a bargain.

I have been wearing it with brown jeans and neautral hues.  The great thing about this colour is you can wear it right through summer.  It would look lovely with creams, whites and powder blue.  Ooooh how pretty! I have found a few similarly pretty blush coats in case this one is sold out...

Kurt Geiger Sale Picks!

So there I was browsing for a pair of shoes to go with my new green dress when I landed on the Kurt Geiger website and couldn't stop looking at all the pretty shoes and boots in their sale. I will be dreaming of closets of beautiful foot wear tonight for sure.  The plan was to do a blog post featuring sale picks from different shops but honestly I couldn't narrow it down from Kurt Geiger so here we are, a whole blog post filled with sale picks from the one shop!

Again this colour. So gorgeous. These are my favourite out of all the shoes here, well apart from stirrup. They are so femanine and delicate.

Recent Blogging Events Roundup

We have been really lucky up here in Aberdeen recently with some fab blogger events!  I am really grateful for all the fun activities and treats I get to experience as a blogger and always have a ball.  Over the past month I have attended quite a few events but didn't want to bore you all with lots of posts so I have condensed a few in to one, I hope you don't mind :-)

Student Lock in Bon Accord Shopping Centre Aberdeen

My good friend Laura kindly invited me to attend this event with her (yes I know I am not a student anymore, a mature student of life maybe.. ha!).  With up to 30% off at shops like Topshop, River Island and New Look it was a great time to indulge in some retail therapy.

I also got to meet Lydia Bright from The only Way is Essex, she was there with a pop up shop for her store Bella Sorella. A lovely lass she was too.

Autumn Fashion Fix Union Square Aberdeen

I was invited down to Union Square for a fun day of activities celebrating their Autumn Fashion fix event. We arrived early in the morning and were treated to a lovely breakfast smoothie from Juice Master. I chose a raspberry flavoured one and it was delish!

Next it was on to our styling challenge.  We were put in to pairs and I was with Rachel from twentysomethingbeauty. There were rails of clothes from shops including Zara and H&M and we had to select autumn outfits for each other. Luckily Rach and myself really liked how we were styled. In fact I might have to pop to Zara and pick up the skirt and shirt I was wearing!

Then we were off to watch hair and makeup tutorials on stage presented by the lovely Nadine Hawkins (No1 Magazine Editor), followed by a fashion show.  At this point I had to dash because I was attending my grans 90th birthday party, but the rest of the bloggers were treated to lunch, makeovers and massages at Pure Spa.

Overall it was a fab day and I had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the styling part best as I did this in my old job and loved it so much.

What do you think of our outfits? had to have some tartan!
