Paper or Plastic?
actually I'd prefer some leather, croc skin and a few peacock feathers if im honest. but you cant really carry your food shopping in these bad boys. Bags are a fashion staple, a basic and something of a must. For me they are in the same league as a white vest; an essential item. However bags are one step higher up my fashion hierarchy for the functional factor - they hold my things..... and I have a lot of things.
And there are some much coveted and well crafted brands coming to the forefront of the bag world. While your Mulberry's and Miu Miu's are classics, your Wilbur and Gussie's, Angel Jackson's and Rocio's are your new kids on the block. With peacock feathers, snakeskin and satin, colour and texture are my spring favourite. As long as the sun shines soon.

Tribal is a trend that will take you from spring to summer effortlessly. These walnut carved clutches are drop, dead, gorgeous. They may be small but they pack a mighty punch. LUST have.
Rocio Honey Clutch
Rocio Rameses Clutch
K Wick are my new favourite. Made from vintage snake and lizard skin in brighter than the rainbow hues, with gorgeous gold chain and clasp details, I think they are the perfect match for floral frocks. I want the orange. No the blue. Or maybe the orange.....maybe both?
Texture is key in my spring wardrobe. Lace, ruffles, zips, layers. And what a perfect selection of bags from Angel Jackson to compliment my layered up textured outfits. With snakeskin satchels and peacock feather totes and sequin evening bags, its time to take your pick.

Snakeskin Lianto Bag
Feather Lianto in Black
And her Vintage Collection completely pulls at my heart strings.
Last but not least, if your looking for a clutch look no further than Wilbur & Gussie with their gorgeous bright satin clutches all with quirky details giving them their own personality. My favourites are the orange with the gold turtle and the red "love" clutch.
Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
..........ERDEM
While most of us have been busy battling with torrential rain and some gusty winds, attempting to make morning decisions like what is the appropriate jacket, is and umbrella worth the fight and what shoes will keep feet warmest and driest, ERDEM has been busy winning the BFC/VOGUE Designer Fashion Fund award.
With 8 extremely talented and hotly tipped candidates announced back in January, the competition was always going to be fierce. But yesterday it was announced that ERDEM was the deserved winner of the award, which was conceived as a key initiative to celebrate the 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week, and to participate in the legacy program to enhance and assist the continued reputation of London's fashion talent's.

To help ERDEM develop his business further the BFC will develop a unique and specific program to assist him reach his business goals over the next 12 months, while the supportive network which he builds throughout the program will provide him with the support system required to make the transition between creative design business and global fashion brand.
His collections are a constant visual treat with their wonderful design structure and attention to detail, strong silhouettes which manage to maintain a fun and feminine feel with the use of colour and print.
A definite face of the fashion future. I'm just waiting for british summertime to kick in before i do florals and bare legs.

Busy as a Bee
March seems to have disappeared before my eyes and my blog has gone completely unloved for a totally unacceptable amount of time.
WELCOME BACK.
While spring momentarily sprung to life, I was busy working for pennies rather than pounds and re-entering the world of the intern. It has been a gentle re-introduction thank god and while the 6am starts and commuter encounters from hell are something to get used to, im really rather enjoying a change of scenery and the opportunity to do the things I LOVE.
So hold onto your hats and watch this space because I think my blogging brain may have returned from hibernation.
