McQueen Love

Every so often i like to browse through designer collections on Net-A-Porter,  just so i can dream about what i would be able to purchase should i win the lottery - which by the way is highly unlikely considering i only ever buy a ticket once in a blue moon. 
Today i decided to browse through the Alexander McQueen section (which is my favourite to "window shop"), and i am now regretting it since it is full of beautiful products! 

These two being my pick of the bunch :

Leopard skull print cashmere scarf £425

 

Elaphe & Brass wrap bracelet £190

IF i were to win the lottery anytime soon, i would definitely be purchasing the above!

What designer goodies would you treat yourself to if you were to win big?

Feeling Fruity

(This post i am aware is away from my usual fashion related posts but i thought i would branch out!) 
 
I've recently discovered that Waitrose stores possibly have the best selection of fruit juices than any other supermarket. Mainly due to the fact that they seem to have a lot more variety in juices. 
 Cawston Press juices have definitely become my favourite.

 The above flavours are the ones i've tried so far, and i have to say the Apple & Rhubarb juice is by far my favourite. Its delish - like summer in a glass. I did get strange looks when i told my mum i was drinking Apple & Beetroot juice yesterday though (it smells like jars of pickled beetroot but its actually quite nice). I also really like the delightful summer packaging - maybe thats a little bit sad to admit to..
These are currently on offer in Waitrose for 3 for £5! 

Waitrose also stock pure beetroot juice which sounds quite strange but i may have to try it one day since i do like beetroot quite a lot..

Million Pound Handbag

The French company Hermes (famous for the celeb favourite the Birkin bag) have created a range of handbags costing in excess of ONE MILLION POUNDS! £1.2million to be exact.
  
 They have created a line of four designs of miniature totes which are crafted from gold and studded with thousands of precious stones, they double up as high end jewellery. 
The rich & famous are forever being spotted sporting a Hermes Birkin (costing in excess of £10k) on their arms but this is taking it to the complete next level of handbag luxury.


These handbags are significantly smaller than the plain leather Birkin's, and are designed to be worn on the wrist as a bracelet.

 

I don't think i would even pay £50 for the above 'high end' bracelet let alone £1.2million...

However if i did ever win the lottery i would splash out on the original Birkin bag...

Speaking of the iconic Birkin bag.. 

I always found it pretty amazing just how many people would come into the shop i work in with one of these handbags. I think the way to spot the rich is to judge them from their handbag! 

Would you wear a Hermes handbag bracelet?

Rucksacks are the new Handbag.

Rucksacks are coming back into fashion seemingly - good job i picked up my bargain buy from Primark! This is a very practical fashion trend i must say. Also clearly good for our backs unlike the massive totes & shoppers!

River Island has a good selection - technically these are in the mens section but i think they're pretty unisex : 

Blue chambray navajo rucksack £28

Stone stripe rucksack £30

Blue aztec rucksack £30

 Topshops backpacks i'm not really loving so much....

Metallic vintage rucksack £38

Black nylon quilted backpack £25

Leather rucksack by Unique £180 (Yes £180 for a bag that looks like a brown paper bag....i despair)

 

 

 

 

 

 I think i will stick to my £9 Primark bargain rather than splashing out on any of the above!

Katy dares to bare

Katy Perry usually can do little wrong in my eyes, as i love both her style & music... however recent pictures of her in Paris this week have left me thinking "what the hell". This dress in the below picture would not look good on anyone, even the stunning Miss Perry unfortunately.. 

The singer shows off her knickers in a sheer dress in Paris.

 I just don't even know what she must have been thinking when she thought stepping outside in this dress would be a good idea.  The only thing that i have to admire her for, is the pure bravery of wearing something this horrid & see through.

Fear not though the Teenage Dream singer was also seen wearing something not so see through as well this week on her trip to Paris : (it's not great.. but its better than the knicker flashing creation above).

rocking a gold number

I'm still loving the blue hair though.. i wonder if this will create a hair craze like Rihanna's red do did?! Although so far i have not seen anyone on the high street sporting blue raspberry slush puppy colour hair!

Song Of The Day

M.I.A - Bad Girls
Recently came across this tune & it's really grown on me, it's definitely catchy!
Not particularly a M.I.A fan, apart from being a little fond of her tune Paper Planes. But this i do like.

Song Of The Day

Rita Ora - R.I.P ft. Tinie Tempah

I reckon this song is gonna be a big smash hit.. produced by Chase & Status, and i think penned by Drake.

Guess Who....

Let's play a little guessing game... who is this stunning brunette on the front cover of the new march edition of Interview magazine....

 

Did you have a guess? 

Well it is none other than Miss Katy Perry! To me she looks almost totally unrecognisable! 

Don't get me wrong, she looks stunning but it just does not look like her at all! Maybe as it's a far cry from her usual more 'quirky' image.

Sexy & He Knows It

I watched the latest episode of Glee last night & i was surprised to see Ricky Martin (of Livin La Vida Loca fame) making an appearance as a Spanish Teacher, and i couldn't resist posting the above video of him performing "Sexy And I Know It".
He is looking good these days! Shame he's gay.... *sigh*
