I have been a wearer of glasses for the past couple of years and every time, the optician announces I can get a new pair of glasses from my prescription changing, I always look forward to picking a new pair of glasses. I usually go for simple brown or black square frames, there is always so much choice so I never know which suits me best. When picking a new pair I will usually try so many different styles and colours, then usually go back to the first pair I tried.

Stella McCartney Bag - First Designer Purchase
designer, Fashion
I'm so excited to share with you a bag which I've fallen in love with and it's the Stella McCartney Falabella crossbody bag in this gorgeous pink colour. This is my first designer bag purchase, which I'm also pretty excited about. For such a long time now I've been wanting to save for a designer bag as I think they are such a good investment. This isn't something I just bought, I've been researching to make sure I was happy with it and was perfect for me and years to come, I've been saving for a long time and working all summer. I love the smaller bags recently, a lot of people have the Gucci Soho Disco bag which I love, this was the size that I wanted to purchase. When I found this bag and the Anya Hindmarch Smiley Bag I wasn't quite sure which one I wanted to buy, I finally made the decision to buy a Stella McCartney bag but I was actually going to buy it in red, until I found this pink one, I'm so happy I went for the pink one in the end.
One of the reasons why I went for a Stella McCartney bag is due to the material that's used on the bag. In the designer market, Stella differentiates her brand as they are a vegetarian brand so there is not use of leather, skins, fur or feathers in any products. This was one of the reasons I love the bag because it's not leather so it's harm free but also that due to it being veggie leather it makes it different to a large majority of bags available on the market. With all Stella McCartney bags, they're lined with polyester that comes from recycled plastic water bottles which I think is pretty cool. If you want to read more on veggie leather click here.
As I mentioned before I decided to go for this blush pink colour over a red one. I love this colour as I find it goes with so much in my wardrobe and can be worn all year. It looks great in the winter as it breaks up an all black outfit and it's so pretty in the summer months. I have never had a bag this colour before, but I'm so happy I didn't stick to just a black or tan colour bag. It's also versatile as it's easy to wear in the day if your nipping into town as it's not heavy and can fit enough in but also it's perfect for a night out, as I think the chain makes it look more night time appropriate. I like to wear it crossbody mostly if not I wear it on one shoulder. If you'd like would you like me to do a what's in my bag?

New Jewellery Discoveries
ethical, Fashion, jewellery, Review
I've recently discovered two new jewellery brands that I need to share with you. I love both of these brands as they are ethical and sustainable brands - which I love and their pieces have become my everyday jewellery staples. I want to share them both with you as they are both doing some pretty amazing things.
The first brand I need to share is Edge of Ember. Edge of Ember is a London based ethical jewellery brand who are pretty great as in November they created a line that raised awareness and money for Camfed - a charity aiming to tackle poverty, inequality and giving girls the support to have an education in sub-Saharan Africa - 62 girls got the chance to go to school for one year and have all the support they need to go with it: fees, uniform, stationary but also looking after their health and wellbeing. All of this seemed so amazing which made me buy some products from their collection. All their pieces are handcrafted ethically in Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia, by artisan groups including women run businesses, the fair trade organisation and home based worker so no sweat shops or child labour are used, instead they are supporting the local talent - I love how all the pieces have elements of the local culture included. As all the pieces are produced by local artisans in developing countries, made ethically with love, it means that they are not massed produced and a fair price is paid to the makers. Recycled materials are chosen and no animal products are used.
I brought 2 rings, both in the same style - one in gold and the other in silver as I loved them so much. The only problem with them is that I'm kind of in-between sizes. I bought 2 different sizes, they only fit on one finger but, that's okay.
The second brand I want to tell you about is YCL Jewels. I found this brand from some vegan YouTubers who always wore their pieces - since then one of them has collaborated to make a collection. I love how all their pieces are sophisticated, minimalistic, as I'm a big lover of simple, dainty pieces of jewellery. YCL is an ethical, cruelty free, vegan Australian brand, 70% of pieces are made in Australia and the other 30% are ethically produced in India. I love how they believe in that animals shouldn't suffer, that is why in their pieces and packaging there are no animal bi-products. There is minimal packaging and paper with each other as they aim to keep a low carbon footprint. I love how their mission is "to create jewellery that is not just worn for aesthetic purpose, but rather to create jewellery that holds meaning to the beholder."
I decided to choose their Infinite Chocker in gold, I went for this one as I love the simplicity and daintiness of it. It's in gold so I don't need to worry about it turning green if I get it wet, so I never take mine off. I love that you can wear it as a choker - which I do or wear it slightly longer, I also love the fact that on the end of the extender there is a tiny purple crystal as every piece is embraced with crystals. The only thing with this necklace is that it will take a couple of weeks to get to you - it takes 4-5 weeks for them to make it as every piece is handmade once ordered and then due to it being shipped it takes around 1-2 extra weeks. I was willing to wait though as I know that they are all individually handmade ethically. There are so many pieces I want, next on my list is the Constellation Disk necklace and I'm also a big fan of their rings. Another thing was inside the box there was a pink stone - I’m not too sure of the name, though.

November Wishlist
Fashion, Wishlist
I can't quite believe that we only have 2 months left of 2016. Since we've entered November it's suddenly become a lot colder. A/W is my favourite time of year especially with fashion, it's all about the layering. This year so many stores have some amazing pieces, I'm especially loving Zara and asos. Below I've picked out some of my favourite pieces that are in stores at the moment. I'm really wanting to find a good pair of black boots and there are some really good ones available. In A/W I love to wear a long camel coat with a big chunky scarf to keep me warm.
What are you loving this November?

September Wishlist
Fashion, WishlistI've been having a browse online a found quite a few pieces I would quite like. I've noticed quite a lot of embroidered pieces online like this dress from Topshop and the mom jeans with embroidered flowers - I love mom jeans recently they are a nice change as I always wear skinny jeans. It's time to start pulling out all the jackets and coats. Bomber jackets still seem to be pretty big asos have some good ones I love this pink bomber jacket, I don't usually go for colours. I've fallen in love with the floral bomber jacket from Zara. I think a long coat can look really amazing, I've seen lots of outfits on Pinterest. You may know I'm a big fan of Converse and I've seen these leather white one which I may have just become obsessed with. I've also found this cute pink hat on Topshop. I'm also obsessed with stripy t-shirts, I found one in Topshop I really like and also a block colour sweatshirt.
What's on your Wishlist for Autumn?

Adidas Stan Smith
Adidas, Fashion, Shoes, Stan SmithI've always been a converse girl and I think I will continue to be a converse girl but, I've wanted a new pair of trainers for quite a while now but debating what to get in the end I decided to go for a pair of Adidas Stan Smith's. I've seen so many people with these, every fashion outfit on Pinterest seem to be wearing a pair of these, they seem to go with everything.
I think I've spent weeks trying to find the right pair, nowhere seemed to have my size or the correct colour. There was a bit of a mess up with asos sending the wrong size and then my size selling out. After no other stores having my size, I kept checking asos until I finally found a pair in my size and quickly ordered them before anyone else got them! In the end, I went for these, they are all white and I actually really like them I was going for light pink or blue but I actually prefer these in the end.
I've worn these a couple of times and so far they've been really comfy, comfier than my converse I think it's because the inside is leather, not clothes which I find rubs more. Even though they are extremely white now, I'm not really going to try and keep them this clean because I actually prefer the more worn in look on these - you know what I mean. Can you tell I'm not a fashion blogger? I feel like these may be getting worn more than my loved converse.
Here are some of my favourites

Spring Shoe Edit
Fashion, shoe edit, Shoes, springIt's time to change up your wardrobe again, this includes removing your winter boots and adding in those sandals. I think these T-Bar Sandals are perfect for the spring as on the warmer days you could wear them with a dress or they would look perfect with a pair of jeans too. I saw these light pink slip on Vans the other day and I thought how perfect they would be for spring and even summer. Heeled sandals seem to be quite popular at the moment, I found these tan ones on Topshop, and I've kind of fallen in love with them. I feel like you can defiantly still get away with wearing boots, these shade western boots are perfect and would look great with skirts and dresses. Nude heels are perfect for those spring, late-night parties or events.
