C'est Cheap et Chic

M

...is for Me Me. C'est tres chic. The cute couple at Alphabet Bag have clearly realised the narcissistic need to tell the world our name (or in this case part of it) by making these simple yet bold alphabet bags. It is an extremely cute example of "the little nice things make all the difference" and it'll have many wondering, either for it's meaning or your name. It'll add a certain 'je ne sais quoi' to an average outfit and for 10 Great British Pounds it's hard to not purchase one. *I'm also wanting the 'stag' and 'ampersand'.

Sandals and Sunglasses

Showpost
TO ACCOMPANY THE RADIO SHOW
River-island-sandals-014
If you happened to listen to my show this morning (on BANG Radio) then you wouldn't need to guess that these are the sandals that I was enthusiastically going, around, up and down about. I'm patiently waiting for it to hit the shops or online so I can acquire them but at the moment they seem to hiding from me. I believe they could make even the most busted of toes look attractive! They are £44.99 c'est magnifique.
