Ads of The 20th Century: Book Review

After a long hard day at university, I love delving into my fashion book collection and being tucked up in bed skimming through the pages. Whilst shopping in Waterstone's a few days ago, this little book caught my attention and although I'm on a spending ban, my partner told me I had to buy it. 

This wonderful hardback book is by Heinmann Nieda and it collates some of the best fashion advertorials of the 20th century, coupled with famous quotes on the fashion industry. The book documents 365 days of the year and is supposed to be read like a diary. Simply pick the day you're on or even look at your birthday and you will see a fashion ad and a quote to give you daily inspiration.

" Fashions fade, style is eternal" Yves Saint Laurent 

"If you can't be elegant, at least be extravagant" Franco Moschino 

"They went into my closets looking for skeletons, but thank God, all they found were shoes, beautiful shoes" - Imelda Marcos 

The book cost me £17.99 and I think it's a fantastic price. Glossy pages full of amazing photography, bound with beautiful red fabric and 365 pages of pure fashion heaven. I know exactly which book I'll be reading in bed tonight.

What's your favourite fashion book?

Orla Kiely Handbag

It has been a really tough last few weeks. I've only recently come out of hospital and then a few days later my beautiful 13 year old cat died of a tragic accident. My mind has been all over the place and my blog has sadly been neglected, but there was a light at the end of the tunnel...

A few days ago I received an email saying that I had won a brand new Orla Kiely handbag and yesterday it arrived.

Doesn't it look beautiful? The bag was won from a competition posted on the Uniqlo website in celebration of their recent collaboration with designer, Orla Kiely. The bag retails at approximately £400 and is made from Italian leather. The sparrow detailing on the side is elegantly printed and the bags interior looks luxurious and spacious.

I really can't wait to do an outfit post with this handbag, it's so versatile and will go with almost everything in my wardrobe. Of course this handbag won't replace my kitty - I loved her since she was so tiny that she could fit into the palm of my hands and I will always miss her terribly, but it does show that luck is on my side and that just maybe, even though she isn't here, she will continue to be my lucky charm. 

What do you think of my new handbag?
