Michael Kors Lilly.

Hello lovelies!

So yesterday I went to Bicester Village (which is a designer outlet centre in Oxfordshire, England) and had a look at some lovely bags! I decided that this year I would save up and by myself that special present: a Mulberry handbag! And as I live about 45 minutes away from Bicester Village I decided I would go and have a look there and see if I could get a discount! Alas, my efforts were in vain as the cheapest discounted version of the bag I was looking for was £770 and I am NOT paying that for a bag!

But next door to Mulberry is the very lovely Michael Kors and while it was my second option, I was very impressed with the selection of beautiful bags! Of course I looked at the watches too but none of them compared to the rose gold one I already own, so I passed.

This one really caught my attention, they had a whole wall full of this pattern just in different shapes and designs of the actual bag. I really liked it and thought it looked pretty Louis Vuitton esque! And it was only £169! Now I know that might be a bit pricey to some people (the me of the past included) but for a designer, good quality handbag I thought it was actually a pretty decent price tag! The regular price is actually £260 so it was a really good discount at the outlet!

This is the Michael Kors Lilly (with TWO 'L's in the middle) and is in the size NS. It's also in the colour Brown. That's about as much information as I can find out about it from the label to be honest! But feel free to have a look for yourself.

It feels so nice and really good quality and it also looks beautiful. I chose this one because I thought it was a bit more classy and classic and would go with most outfits, which is what I would want from an expensive bag!

The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have a zip in the inside, it just has a popper but it is a tote bag so it's ok! Here's a look at the inside of it:

Here are some closer looks at the bag! Tell me what you think of it in the comments below! I would love to hear your thoughts!

So what do you think?

Are there any designer bags that you are in love with?

Weekly Wishlist Wants!!

So this was *supposed* to go up yesterday (well technically 2 days ago as it's 12:23AM) but I was busy!
I've seen people on the blogosphere post their "wishlist wants" as such so decided I would make it a weekly feature. So you people can see what I'm lusting over! Everything this week is kinda expensive and a bit more higher end but hey ho, I've been feeling like spoiling myself and this is the stuff top of my wishlist. Here are five things I've been lusting over!

1. Marc Jacobs Daisy Sunshine Perfume 50ml.
So I have wanted this since I heard about it. My mum has the original and to be honest I'm not the BIGGEST fan over it. Though I love the packaging and Marc Jacobs perfumes. I thought the original Daisy was a little played down in scent so I'm hoping this one will smell a bit more vibrant! I think I will buy this sooner or later!

2. Michael Kors Jet Set silver watch.
This is gorgeous....and I need it. ;) Just kidding. Though I do REALLY want it. I have a rose gold MK watch and adore it so the silver one is pretty much a neccessity for me at this stage and it was always only a matter of time before I indulged in another Michael Kors watch!

3. Iron Fist Heels.
Don't remember the actual name of these type of heels but I saw them on Amazon when I was online shoe shopping for my Iron Fist flats before and have adored them ever since. I'm not the biggest heel wearer but do like an occasional heel! These are so pretty and rather gaudy which is totally my style. Yet they still have that edge and don't look tacky (well maybe a little!).

4. Michael Kors Jet Set White Bag.
UGHHHHHHHH! This bag is amazing. It's so pretty, chic, elegant, you name it! It's just so beautiful! I want this so badly! I might take a trip down to Biecester Village to check this one out! I will probably never buy it but when it comes to my birthday this will be top of my list!

5. Real Techniques Core Collection Kit.
I have never tried Real Techniques but I'm dying too. And what better way to get introduced than a core collection?! The brushes look amazing and such good quality. I'm surprised I haven't bought any yet. They don't stock them in my local Boots. But I might just purchase them online. Look out for these to appear on my blog because me buying them is most likely going to happen!

So that was my weekly wishlist wants. Hope you enjoyed. And tell me your five most wanted things in the comments or tweet me!

YAY!

OOTD- Blue Batwing.

Hello all!. So this is my first OOTD (outfit of the day) post. This was a genuine outfit of the day. I had a few job related things I had to do and this is what I wore as I wanted to go for a both smart yet casual look. I added the Primark sunglasses when we went on a beautiful walk (location where these pictures were taken) as it was rather sunny.

The Primark sunglasses are definitely a good buy. This specific pair has a diamante band across the top and on the sides. They are also a beautiful deep brown colour which I personally prefer to the black tint. At £2 a pair they are definitely a steal!!

The tunic/top is flows very nicely and has this beautiful almost damask print to it. It also has some studs on the top. This was actually a gift from a friend in America, but the brand is Cato if that is any help!

The makeup I did is just my everyday makeup with a nice brighter lipstick. All eyeshadows are by MAC and the lipstick is Snob by MAC.

As the sunglasses have a rose gold tint to the frame, I paired this outfit with my Michaels Kors rose gold watch. (I have a collage in detail of the watch on my instagram which is "bridgeexplicit")
I also paired the top with a purple cami underneath as the actual top is quite see through. It did come with a built in cami but I cut it out a while ago and to be honest prefer the purple one underneath it!

I chose to wear leggings but went for these leather look ones instead of the traditional plain black ones.

I paired this outfit with my favourite shoes at the moment, my Iron Fist dolly shoes.

They add a fun and cute little twist to the outfit in my opinion.


So there is my outfit. I hope you enjoyed this post:

Top: Cato
Leggings: Primark
Shoes: Iron Fist
Watch: Michael Kors
Sunglasses: Primark
Lipstick: Snob by MAC


Lots of love.
