American Apparel leather carry-all pouches

Leather carry-all pouches - American Apparel

There's something quite edible about these soft leather pouches. They come in all kinds of colours, and at the moment I love the pastel shades. I like to use them as clutch bags for day or night, or else just look at them.

Primark spring/summer 2012

They've done it again. Another surprisingly gorgeous spring/summer collection from Primark. 

Although I generally avoid the hell that is shopping in the high-street's cheapest fashion retailer, I have to admit there are some lovely pieces here.

Last year, they did Prada-esque riviera prints, and this year they've excelled themselves with a very close (I'm talking potential legal action) copy of the spring/summer 2012 Prada car-print pieces, as modelled by Dakota Fanning in this month's Elle.

No doubt, I'll be in their Oxford Street flagship as soon as these items appear.

 Prada or Primark?

Spring cravings

It's only January 7th, and already I'm bored of my winter wardrobe. It's just so...well, wintry.

I've started craving pastel colours like they're cupcakes, and black just doesn't feel right. I blame the cover of February's Elle, featuring Dakota Fanning (total cutie) in a Prada blouse and Nicola Roberts gracing the cover of InStyle in Preen.

Even though it's cold and windy outside, these are the kind of items I'm coveting.
