I really want a backpack

Backpacks are a huge trend for Spring/Summer, and for a while now, I have really wanted to buy a nice big slouchy backpack that would be great to take to uni to carry all of my notebooks and things. On my search so far, the backpacks have either been too expensive or not big enough! Here are some of the favourites I've found, and hopefully I will end up actually getting one of them. I think it would be a worthwhile purchase as backpacks can be handy for many occassions. I can imagine sporting one of these beauties at Bestival this summer. I am so excited!

This is one of my absolute favourites from Asos! It is pure leather and has an amazing sketch print on it. It's also the size I would want, but unfortunately it's priced at the not so lovely £70, which i don't think my student budget can quite stretch too :(

I think this next backpack is absolutely beautiful! The blue tones and aztec print make this bag really stand out from the crowd. However, it is priced at the pretty hefty £58 from Urban Outfitters. God, I want this an insane amount haha.

Right so this one is slightly more affordable at £34 from trusty Topshop. It's got the slouchy style I like and pastel green is totally on trend for spring/summer!

I also just had a quick gander on ebay and found they are selling a couple of different navajo slouchy backpacks, like the ones they sell in Urban Outfitters, but for a hell of alot cheaper!

I like this one. It's vintage 1990's (so hot right now haha) and the tribal navajo print will make a statement of any outfit. Also, it's nice and big to fit all of uni stuff!

If you find any nice backpack finds, let me know! :) xxx

The Kooples collaboration

So as i flicked through my issue of ID, i came across the new ad campaign for the brand 'The Kooples'. They have chosen the unlikely face of Pete Doherty to design both a men's and women's range for the brand. Pete who is infamous for his wild lifestyle, fuelled by heavy drugs and drink is not who you would typically think to be picked for such a sleek campaign. However his effortless rock n roll style really is suiting to the brand's quirky cool look. I personally think he looks awesome in these new promotional shots. The collection epitomises his very British, very vintage, laid back, rock n roll inspired look perfectly.

I had a look through the womenswear collection, which weirdly is modelled by Irina Lazareanu, Doherty's on and off-again lover. Here are some of my favourite pieces.

I absolutely love this look! It looks so effortlessly cool with the floaty texture of the skirt and the casual t-shirt tucked in, teamed with one of Pete's signature hats. The different textures of the skirt make it really stand out for me. It's sexy without being obviously provocative. The skirt is priced at £185 so i went on search for cheaper alternatives.



Like this one at £45 from Asos.com

And this slightly shorter more floaty number from American Apparel, priced at £40. So tempted to buy this! But ahhhh need to save money for summer haha.

A young and fresh take on British country wear.

I think the slouchy style of this blazer really makes it. It gives off that instant laid back look that Pete pulls off so well.It would be great for a casual look but i reckon it could look epic over a party dress for night time, offering a clash of the masculine and the feminine. However unfortunately, this blazer is priced at a whopping £355, so i thought I'd look for a cheaper alternative. I found this similar one at Topshop for just £40! I don't think it quite has the slouchy look I like though, so would buy it in a size or two up to create that 'boyfriend' style fit.

Ring Bling

I need lots and lots of rings in my life. Asos has some really great ones i'm thinking of getting. Not badly priced either.
Asos £15 for all three 



Asos £8

They even stock the amazing Vivienne Westwood armour ring (shown in the first photo), but unfortunately it's out of my price range at the whopping £173.
