On the left, the world's most famously stylish twins , MK and Ashley Olsen, have produced one of the only good things that comes from Winter months... a cream, chunky knit, oversized, ridiculously comfy looking, fisherman sweater. The kind of jumper that makes you want to get out of bed in the morning, even if it is minus temperatures. Of course the price tag remains back in your bed and in your dreams, over $4,000. So instead, treat yourself to an option which a real fisherman is most likely to afford - the Topshop Cable Jumper by Boutique. It's a real 'catch' (sorry, couldn't resist).
If like myself, one of your insatiable vices resembles any leather clad, soft to the touch, tote/clutch/shopper/shoulder bag then read on... Since my graduation and most recent birthday I have been the forever grateful* owner of an Alexander Wang Emile Tote. In all its pebble textured, stone grey glory, it is (and will be for years to come because that's the beauty of designer handbags) the most exquisitely made and brilliantly versatile item in my possession. At full price the Emile is understandably one out-of-reach lady, ranging from £700-£800. However, if you have the patience and shopping skills, then she can be grabbed up at half the price from sites such as The Outnet, along with stacks of other too good to miss designer steals. We allllll know what the most sensible option here is. Whether you're saving up the pennies or in potential receipt of a very generous gift then full recommendation goes towards this winged tote. During my constant browsing I came across the version pictured below, taupe and croc-effect, currently available online for a satisfyingly discounted price. If you're serious about your handbags then this is the one for you.
*Thanks go to my equally handbag obsessed Mum, creative geniuses such as Mr Wang and Natalie Massanet for making it all possible (tongue in cheek much) <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/11898585/?claim=m23xdzjcb4t">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> |
