What I did this week - shopping, pictures and poses

Hope you've had a fabulous weekend, just a few snaps of what I've been up to this week!

From left to right; peach iced tea, changing rooms in Mango, Michael Kors handbag, The Look Show 2012 tickets, ballet in the kitchen with Jack, me and Hello Kitty.

I'm super excited as my Look Show tickets arrived, so off to London on Saturday and I cannot wait! Ive not been to the show before but it looks like lots of fun, are any of you going? Hopefully I'll see a few of you down there - I'd love to meet you in real life so let me know in the comments below :)

Do I keep it?! HELP!

I need your help please! I took this picture in the shop earlier so I could show you all as I cannot decide whether to keep it or not.

All of the new autumn/winter stock is starting to appear in stores and I'm loving it! Ive managed to resist a few pieces however this one really caught my eye!
It's a Michael Kors gilet/waistcoat/cardigan from TK Maxx, and is £39.99 reduced from £215.00 - it's super fluffy, 100% wool, can be worn on its own in summer with baggy jeans or worn in winter layered up. It has a hood too so it just feels so snugly - I love it, but it's quite different and a bit crazy compared to my usual taste...although sometimes its good to look a little different and the lady in the shop said there are only a few available in the UK :)

So do you think I should keep it or take it back? What else could I wear it with? HELP! X

PS. Sorry for the gangster pictures with the hood up, I couldn't resist!

The Monday Piece - Michael Kors

The subject of today's Monday's Piece is the designer Michael Kors. Kors is an American fashion designer who was born in New York, he is famous for designing classic American sportswear. He has been designing clothes since his teens and has won many accolades as a result of his fantastic designs, his profile was raised when he became designer and creative director of fashion house Celine, who are famous for their clean lines and simple styling. He left Celine to focus on his own ever popular line, featuring ready to wear fashion, shoes, handbags and accessories. He now has many boutiques across the United States, as well as stocking lines in upmarket stores worldwide such as Selfridges and Harrods. His lines vary in design and price, the Kors Michael Kors and Michael by Michael Kors lines are some of his more popular - prices vary from around £75 for a small leather item to roughly £500, though quality and value are always guaranteed. Kors is now a household name after featuring on multiple series on Project Runway, a show that features new fashion designers and showcases their talent. Additionally he has a strong celebrity clientele with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Heidi Klum and Michelle Obama all wearing his designs. Below are pictures of his Spring/Summer 2012 campaign featuring classic safari and animal print styles, and two of my favourite handbags from the Summer collection (available to buy at Selfridges).I'm lucky enough to own one of his handbags, the quality is fantastic and the design is so simple, classic and timeless.

Do you own anything by Michael Kors? Do you have your eye on any of his latest collections or items?

What I wore today - Wildfox and Zara

It was another gorgeous today so wore a slouchy tee with my favourite Zara snake print trousers. I love animal prints and am always looking for different prints to wear so was über excited when I spotted these trousers in Zara a while ago! They're really stretchy and have a thick legging like feel to them but have a zip and popper button as well as pockets which turns them into trousers. I got this top from Selfridges in the sale - I love Wildfox as a brand, they make cute, classic tops that you can throw on with anything so got this one in the sale half price. To brighten the outfit I couldn't resist my Michael Kors raspberry pink leather bag, and of course my spike necklace! What do you think of Wildfox? Do you own any of their tops or jumpers? Xx

My week in handbags

I adore handbags, I truly believe they can make or break an outfit. I tend to use the same handbags day to day so I have to love a bag 100% before I buy it so I know I'll get my use from it. I don't mind spending more money on a handbag than I usually would on clothes or other accessories as I see it as an investment piece (well that's what I tell myself anyway!). This week my handbags have been; Zara messenger bag, vintage Chanel quilted bag, Michael Kors jet set leather pink bag, Longchamp green petrol monogram tote. I barely use the Chanel anymore as it is truly battered, I've had it years and my Guinea pig chewed through the leather on one corner! The other 3 I use all the time as they are so versatile and go with pretty much any outfit.
Which is your favourite? Would love you to share your thoughts xx
