Sharing my Favourite Finds

I wanted to very quickly tell you about this gorgeous little vintage briefcase bag that I’ve just stumbled across.

I do feel a little reluctant to share it, it’s a one off piece, obviously, and it is just so gorgeous, plus it’s perfectly on trend for this season. If, when I get round to making my purchase it’s gone, it has still been worth sharing with you. It’s even been enjoyable talking about it (or typing about it).

So, what is there to really love about this bag? Firstly, there is something so majestic about vintage. Knowing that an item of jewellery or clothing has played a part in someone else’s life, always gives me a feeling of pride that it still lives on, with me, and great satisfaction – I always find vintage so satisfying.

I think my love for this bag begins with the crocodile effect patent, its lazy faux gold clasp, neat handle, and the ability for it to work perfectly well as a comfortable oversized clutch, as well as a typical work day briefcase. In-love, sums up this little beauty, if it’s gone by the time you’ve read this post, I apologise, it was me.

Style your Summer

Well, the most anticipated season of the year has arrived again. And I feel loathed to utter its bright and cheery name as I sit here writing, tucked up in my cosy office whilst outside appears to be a dreary grey.

Fear not, our summer (there, I said it) inspirations will have you chomping at the bit; and we’ll be stripping off those sweaters in no time.

Like a summer affair, we have fallen in love all over again with frooly. We’ve delved in and rummaged around, and emerged with some real treats.

This gorgeous baby doll dress is perfect for long summer afternoons picnicking in the park. It pairs beautifully with knee high stockings and flat leather buckle up pumps.

We adore this reclaimed vintage necklace and think the two pieces really hit it off; cutsie girl versus vintage vixen.

And no picnic would be complete without THESE! Yes, they are edible, and delicious; made with free range eggs, 100% cocoa and love. Gourmet handmade cookies.

You really can’t beat snapping away on your camera to keep all your summer memories safe, but please, do it in style. Take a look at this handmade leather camera strap.

So you’re at the airport, a little giddy with excitement ready to start spending copious amounts in not so Duty Free and you whip out this, everyone goes wild. It’s got summer holiday written all over it - Buy buy baby purse.

And so today’s final little stunner is this to-die-for upcycled vintage suitcase. Squeeze all of your fabulous possessions inside, and then just stare at it for hours.

Until next time,

Gemma,
