Whats In My Handbag?

Hello everyone, Today's post is a quick peak inside my every day to day bag. I've seen a few of these posts and thought it would be a fun one to do even though I can't say I carry anything TOO exciting around with me. So here it is...


Right my handbag that Im using today is my DKNY quilted chain bag and this is what I carry around with me on a daily basis. My purse is the most important thing in my bag it has everything in it and as you can see its a pretty decent size and I just love it. Other every day essentials to me is my hand sanitizer, my pen, hair bobbles, and my inhaler these are the things I never really take out of my bag and every bag I own pretty much has these items already left in it just so I don't forget.

I like to carry around a green tea, bottled water and usually some almonds or nuts which I actually don't have today. Simply because I don't always fancy soft drinks and if I'm out and about and I pop to someones house most my family and friends DON'T drink green tea, me on the other hand can't live without it!

Now when it comes to make up I could carry a bag full around with me and go and top it up every time I look in a mirror so I purposely don't carry a make up bag around with me because I would just fill it. I do however have some things I have to have.
Vaseline: Love this stuff it's a life saver and this limited addition Pink Bubbly flavour had a lovely sheer pink tint to it and smells divine! I haven't left the house this winter without it.
Max Factor Facefinity: This is my little compact foundation top up, it's so handy and comes with a mirror and sponge applicator to top up during he day and even out any blemishes that might start to appear.
Perfume and Nail File: This little perfume bottle (next to my YSL lippy) is another great invention. I fill this up on nights out and everything, it is a great way to top up without carrying bottles of perfume around and its small enough so that you're not wasting loads by filling it up! Also my nail file is a new addition I go so sick of breaking a nail and then have it snag on tights or worse catching it in my hair that this has become a permeant feature since I won it in a cracker at christmas hahaha but hey what can I say it the perfect handbag size!

Last but not least my little gem is my Handbag Butler. This is perfect for girls who hate to put their bags on the floor while eating out or at a cafe. My mother bought me this after I forever complained about the scruffy floors in cafes are would sit there with my bag on my knee no matter how big it was. The matter of the fact was I like nice handbags, I save up for them and you would have to kill me before I put my Chanel Veau Ver Tote on some dirty floor!! So basically this hangs your bag of the table making it safer and cleaner than whacking it under you chair.

So that's my bag for you nothing too odd or interesting but is does seam to change depending on my 
activities so I might do a few up dates on my bags and their insides! let me know what you think and if i'm missing any important can not live withouts! =)

Christmas Gifts... Less than a week to go!

Hi dolls! With less than a week I've got all my shopping done and presents wrapped.. yey! So I've been browsing the net and looking at somethings I'd like in the new year and fingers crossed they might even pop up in the SALES!
After seeing many bloggers use the site BeautySets to form wish list i thought id give it ago and made my NewYear Wishlist, so here it is...

As you can see I've gone for a Pink, Gold and Black theme..which actually wasn't intentional! I LOVEEE everything on this list so I only wish I'd asked for some before christmas, too late now ha but most of the things are pretty much 'new in' so I guess they'll be around for a while after the holidays for me to get my hands on. Hope you like my top 7 new year picks!

Happy Holidays..

Summer Fashion Haul..

So Iv been off this week again so I decided to go shopping seen as though I have just booked to go to american again (this will be my 10th time!!)
 Even though the weather here is soo cold and well just miserable I got a bit excited about going away and ended up buying summer shorts and tops! 


L-R: Fringe vest Zara £17.99, Mickey top Zara £9.99, Broidery anglais top NewLook £19.99

L-R: Neon shorts RiverIsland £20, Dress George at Asda £16, Faux leather jacket TOPSHOP £55

I really love all the items I bought but I have 2 favourites which are the fringe top from Zara which this photo does not do justice, it is amazing and for that price It my new favourite item. Another is the Dress from Asda! yes the supermarket, this dress really reminded me of the 'Victoria Dress' by Victoria Beckham seen right >>
And although I did shorted the dress so that I could wear it on a night out, it really is a dress which you can fling on and it instantly looks fabulous!

Seen as though I bought hordes of summer clothing in the US last year I don't really need much but its so hard not to go out and buy all the lovely bright colours! Theres no surprise that the shops are amazing over there and even with the low dollar (Im use to getting $2 for every £1) it makes you think at why we pay so much for out clothing and  beauty cosmetics...

Love Holly

My Summer Essentials...



With the warm weather vastly approaching and summer wardrobes making their debut here is my look at the top trends that you won’t want to miss out on when you’re parting it up for summer 2012!

STYLE OBSESSION
NOVELTY T-SHIRTS

When it comes to the novelty trend, more is more. You don't need to go style bananas the crazy-yet-cool printed t-shirt is a brilliant way to be playful and fun this summer!

Lazy Oaf Mixed Fruit T-Shirt £35, 
ASOS T-Shirt With Spotty Winking Eye £20, Watermelon Skirt £45.



STYLE OBSESSION
TRIBAL TRENDSETTER

Amazon inspired tribal patterns & animal prints
(I love zebra!) raced down the runways of Marni, Burberry and Balenciaga managed to pimp up the Safari suit. A tribal motif dress is your easy option, but bright beadwork, fringing and crochet knits all have that cool, handcrafted vibe to them too. Animal print tees add a fierce touch, while fluoro highlight and bold accessories add a carefree feel to this look.

TOPSHOP Shorts £30,  Accessorize Santorini Stone Ring £14,
ASOS Aztec Backpack With Leather Straps £45.



STYLE OBSESSION
ICE CREAM PASTLES

Pale & Interesting is the way forwards this spring/summer with designers such as Louis Vuitton covering the runway with cotton candy colours. But fear not, you don’t need to spend your entire student loan on big designer, as there is plenty to keep you sweet on the high street!
Miss Selfridge Peach Zip Front Vest £25, River Island Candy stripe jean £45, 
ASOS Oversized Bowler Bag £36, ASOS Sweetie Stud Earrings £4 (bargin!)

Really Hope you like my top picks for the spring, these are the 3 main 'trends' I really like and I think are really fun and easy to wear everyday! 
Love Holly

Posh Spice embarrassed about her clothing line?

Victoria Beckham’s eponymous clothing and accessories line has transformed from pet project to fashion force: The former Spice Girl and footballer’s wife took Brand of the Year at this years British Fashion Awards.
 Although posh may be an award-winning fashion designer right now, the gorgeous Brit wasn’t too sure of herself in the past. 
 Beckham, who was presented the award by designer Marc Jacobs, attributed her success to husband and soccer star David Beckham, and their four kids. Posh revels that during a dinner with Marc years ago she felt embarrassed when he found out she was doing a line. She adds:
“We went out to dinner one night, and he said, ‘I saw that you put out a collection.’ I felt embarrassed to tell Marc Jacobs that I - me, ex-Spice Girl, married to a footballer - was creating a fashion line.”
Beckham’s signature cocktail looks, feminine with hardware detail including exposed zippers, are red carpet favorites among ladies such as Eva Longoria and Heidi Klum.
 Are U a fan of Victoria Beckham’s collection?
Other big winners at the British Fashion Awards included Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney. 
Happy Blogging
