I Covet Thee! Fashion To Try ~ LYDC London Bag!

Monday, September 14, 2015

Now anyone who has known me for five whole minites knows I am a bag girl. Even considering I give older ones to my mother, cousin or daughter I still have upwards of twenty bags. Two coach bags that are my pride and joy, two Steve Maddens I couldn't leave behind and the woman who owns my fashion heart, Betsey Johnson, of whos bags I have six! (Plus two wallets some jewelry and sunnies but whos counting?) But it is plain to see I have a varying fashion sense, moods and styles to match each and love just a little bit of everything. Like my iPod my closet is also eclectic and I love it like that. Those who know me will also be able to tell you just how impulsive I can be with shopping, but also completely cheap! Its true I know how to pinch a penny and my need to own it all is constantly warring with my need to keep a single dollar bill in my wallet.

So heres my problem. I have been eyeing this bag for roughly a year... maybe a little bit longer. And its beautiful and funky and amazing. Its different which I like, and many probably would say its tacky... another tell tale sign of my fashion sense. But I want it so!

Now take a second and just look at it! I know holographic stuff was way on trend last year and that's probably why it was made. Now a year later I feel like its less of a fad which I like more. The golden color with the gold hardware just screams me. Isn't it amazing? Now the bag is called the Argill Holographic Shoulder Bag by LYDC in Gold and it retails for £29.00 which I feel like in the UK would be a legit bag price. Plus is beautiful I mean so worth the money. Even with conversions it would be about $50 which I've done for a Betsey bag.

The shipping is whats been holding me off, to the states its about £15 which brings the price of the bag up to about $70 total and I just keep balking at the after conversions numbers. Still im going to get it. Im not sure when but it will happen. This pretty will be mine! Luckily if you are in the UK or Ireland the shipping is about £5 unless you spend X amount on the site and then its free! Which is an amazing deal. I also believe its less for the rest of Europe and I feel like these bags are so worth it to check and see what the price runs for you.

This particular bag comes in 5 colors including Black so really anyone else who thinks its as gorgeous as I do id go and take a look at them. And Then we can be bag twinsies! Is anyone else totally in love with this bag? Have another unique find I need to see? As ever drop a comment to dish with us ^_^

Whats in my bag? Summer 2015!

Monday, August 17, 2015

Hey there my loves. A couple of weeks ago i decided to change over my purse, ive had this one waiting in the wings for a while and while the tiny bags i was using were a nice change im a big bag kind of girl. And this design was just up my ally, who wouldn't want this vintage style tattoo print of their favorite Disney princess?

Now tell me this isnt the cutest bag ever?! It makes me think of this Rockabilly Pinup girl, but its also totally my style. My favorite Disney princess printed like shes an old school sailor tattoo.... amazeballs. I got this beauty from HotTopic which is great for fandom kind of merchandise. I tried to find this bag on the site and i couldn't find it. But they do have an Alice in wonderland one Here! Just like mine it does come with a shoulder strap but i don't use mine, im more of an hand/arm bag to shoulder bags. The leather is soft and its sturdy. The bag isnt heavily structured but it doesn't fall flat the second its empty either. Now take a second to appriciate the beauty that is the print, which was really my selling point on a bag that retails just shy of $70!

Now if you are thinking about this bag or any others as an option practice smart shopping. The price tag for the purse was $69.50, but i got it for around $44. Sign up for site emails, or better yet search for coupons online if you need to check out quickly. Theres always in store and site sales, all you need is a bar-code or coupon code to scan or input to get amazing deals. Ill outline some of my bargain shopping tips in another post, how to get clothes beauty and books for steals! And now for a little peak at what is inside of my bag!

Inside the Bag-
*Marvel Notebook- My Blogging notebook, for ideas, lists, keeping thoughts together because i have the memory of a goldfish and if i dont write things down they are gone from me forever.
*Kindle- Yes that beautiful black case with Jai Courtney's lovely image on it? That is my kindle Case, Its from Caseable and its my second. My original kindle 3 also had a case from there. They are great qualty and i can post a review for them if you guys would like. Also see that Noob writen on there? Yup, tagged with NoobChic, its one of my most prized possessions... books on tap always.
*iPhone- Its an iPhone 6 and that pretty Ariel case was about $5 on ebay.
*Mimco Wallet
*Powerstick Deodorant Body Spray- Because its summer and freshness is key. Also it compliments my Summer Escada perfume so well!
*Glasses Case- Its all fancy pants Michael Kors because it came with my glasses, yay for sales at Americas Best.
*Compact Mirror- Now this is my pride and joy, and i have a bigger one as well because a full review of the mirros and site is to come. But i can say now if you are in the market for a great mirror, that lights up, for you or as a gift for someone else check out VanityPrimp! Must see and from what ive seen she now carries bad ass cellphone cases as well!
*Nude Stix Lippie- In mystic and comes in that adorable tin case.
*Makeup Bag- This beauty was an ipsy bag a couple of months ago. Sephora has a bigger version, of which i have one... super cute and durable, with alot of space for the 11 lippies i seem determined to carry around.

So that is a wrap up of what i carry around with me when im on the go. What do you guys just need to lug around every time you leave the house? Anything i need to tuck into my bag next time i go out? Leave any tips, tricks or recommendations below!
