Longchamp Paris: Le Pliage

I've seen a couple of these bags before whenever I go out + I must say, they always catch my attention. Although they look rather simple, there's something about these bags which I really like.

I've always wondered where on earth you buy these bags from + only until yesterday, I found out what brand these bags were after watching 'Literateandstylish25's video yesterday. 

They are: Longchamp Le Pliage bags!

They range from £47 - £70 depending on what size you want + are available in a wide variety of colors + styles. The one I want would be the Le Pliage Large bag (£70) in either navy blue or black as I prefer bags with longer handles + in dark neutral colours.

RRP: £70

 

I have now got my own Longchamp Le Pliage tote bag + have done a blog post about it which you can view here!

OOTD 4 - Double Denim

So today, my outfit is based on the 'Double Denim' style. Before, I would think, why on earth would anyone where double denim. But I actually really like this look.

The Outfit:

Denim Boyfriend Shirt - H&M 

Tan Belt - Primark

Denim Jean Leggings - Vero Moda

Ballet Flats - Oasis

Bracelet - Pandora 

My hair was tied up into a high messy bun as you can see. If you like the double denim style, make sure you're wearing two different colors of denim! What do you guys think of double denim? ^^

TAG: How much is your face worth?

As tagged by Christina from KekeChristina, I have been tagged to do a 'How Much is your Face Worth' tag. It looks pretty fun so I've decided to try it out as I'm curious as to how much my face is worth is total. Basically, you add up all the cost of the products + tools you use on your face on a daily basis.

My daily face:

Products used:

Boots Botanics Skin Brightening Cleanser - £4.07

LUSH Dream Cream - £10.25

Garnier Roll-on Anti-dark Circles - £10.20

Maybelline New York Dream Creamy Foundation - £8.19

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder - £3.99

Loreal Paris Super Liner Carbon Gloss - £6.19

LUSH Lip Service Lip Balm - £4.99

Revlon Matte Nude Attitude Lipstick - £7.49

Tools used:

EcoTools Bamboo Concealer Brush - £5.10

EcoTools Bamboo Powder Brush - £9.18

Total cost = £69.65

Hahah, the total cost isn't that bad seeing as most of my makeup is quite cheap ^^ I really wish I had some MAC Cosmetics though but I where I live, there is no MAC. The closest would probably be three hours away from me by train. You're probably wondering why I don't just order off the internet but I prefer seeing something first then purchasing it if I like it ^^

Now, I tag:

Anna

Stephanie

Vivienne

Xai

+ anyone else who wishes to do this!

Enjoy!

Shopping Haul (ft. Hollister, Zara, H&M, Primark)

I decided to go shopping yesterday for some holiday clothes as I'll be going to Hong Kong this April. It was my last day of study leave before I went back to school so I decided to take this opportunity to get some new clothes!


Clothing items:

Hollister:

Light Blue Striped Shirt

RRP: £36

Available here

If you have read my previous posts, you will probably know that I'm quite in to Hollister these days. I have bought quite a lot from there these past few months!

I thought this shirt would be great for the warm weather in HK as it's quite thin. I love the striped detail of it as it makes the shirt look more smart.

Zara:

Brown Moccasins

RRP: £29.99

Available here

I've done a blog post of these cute Moccasins in previous posts before, click here if you want to see more photos!

I thought these brown Moccasins would look super cute with leggings or light wash/black jeans, great for Spring/Summer ^^

Beige/Brown colored cardigan

RRP: £19.99

This is a super cute cardigan with gold button detailing. It's beige/brown colored with white stripes across it. I decided to buy this as I thought it was super cute + would be great for summer!

Also...

It has arm pads! How cute is that? I love clothing items with arm pads as I think it adds a little more detail to the outfit. 

H&M:

Light Denim Wash Boyfriend Shirt

RRP: £17.99

I can remember that these light wash boyfriend shirts a trend last year in the Summer. This is my first ever light wash boyfriend shirt. Although it looks really baggy/huge, it looks great with a skinny belt to tie in your waist to give shape to your body!

Primark:

I didn't really buy much from Primark although their items are really cheap. I just feel that their clothes are kinda tacky these days. I usually only buy belts from there =P 

I ended up buying three cute belts!

Tan colored belt

RRP: £2.00

Just to let you guys know, I'm wearing the H&M boyfriend shirt underneath the belt (=

Tan belt with lacing detail

RRP: £2.00

Taupe colored belt with floral design

£1.00

That's all I purchased while shopping for new holiday clothes! What do you usually wear when on holiday?

My new babies! (Moccasins)

Okay, I went shopping for some holiday clothes today (a haul post will be posted soon!). I'm going to Hong Kong in April so I decided to buy some new clothes ^^

I picked up a pair of shoes from Zara + they are a pair of Moccasins!

RRP: £29.99

Available here

I used to hate the look of Moccasins, but after seeing these I completely changed my mind! They are brown colored + look super cute!

Super cute eh? It has a floral pattern inside + cute fringing detail + mini tassels ^^

Closer look at the fringing detail + mini tassels
