How To Wear Neutrals With Designer Exchange

One thing that you all know about me is that I am a sucker for Designer Bags. I love mixing high street with high end accessories. I feel like it ties an entire outfit together and makes the overall outfit look a lot more expensive than it actually is.

But designer does not have to be super expensive. I have already mentioned this brand before here, but since then I have gained a huge number of new readers and followers and thought I would reintroduce the brand as they have rebranded.

Designer Exchange is perfect for someone starting out buying designer or if you are looking to change the bags in your wardrobe. If you have a designer bag that you no longer love, you can pop into any of their six stores and exchange or sell your used bag. The team at Designer Exchange have gone through so much training and can spot a fake designer bag a mile away! They then put the bag for sale and any one can purchase online or in store.

I was very kindly gifted a voucher that I could redeem against any of the bags/accessories on the Designer Exchange website or stores. I decided to go for this Dior Miss Dior Promenade Pouch, Pink Lambskin. I have a few day bags so I wanted something that was more of an evening bag, with the option to use during the day. It's small, elegant and such a classic. I'm obsessed.

The condition of my Dior bag at first glance is perfect. After a little assistance in the Knightsbridge store I was told about the small scratch on the bag of the bag and the discolouration of the leather where the chain had been sitting. But after inspection, it was all I wanted so I preceded. When buying a used/second hand/vintage whatever you like to call it bag, you must be open and aware that the bag may not be in pristine condition.

I know a few people will be a little put off by the thought of buying a designer bag second hand, but as I mentioned before, the team are so well trained, and prices reflect the condition of the bag. You are able to buy bags for £150, all the way up to over £7000 for a Hermes. Whatever your budget, you're sure to find something you will like.

I decided to go for quite a neutral top, I feel like wearing colours in a similar colour palette can be quite sexy and can even be classy. I've left my shirt half buttoned giving a bit of depth to look look as the coat is oversized. 

Would you ever consider buying a second hand designer bag?

I'm loving autumn/ fall (whatever you call it) at the moment. The sound of crispy leaves and sticky toffee lattes make me happy.

Today's post sees me being a little bit silly in the middle of the street. Kids don't play with leaves in the middle of the road like I have. I can assure you there were no cars so it was super safe, but you know, don't play in the street.

I bought this jumper randomly from Primark last year. You all know I'm not a massive Primark shopper. I do find the odd gem though, and this jumper is one BIG gem. It's so fluffy and warm. It's the perfect grey and a turtle neck jumper which is oh so my favourite right now.

These shoes are stunning. I absolutely love them. They reminded me of those shoes that were all over Instagram last year. You know those BEAUTIFUL heels with a million straps that everyone was lusting over (from Australia I think).

Can we also give a massive sigh of love to this bag for a second. Ahh so DREAMY. I want the Chanel bag in every colour and every size please. Thanks Santa.

What's your favourite thing about autumn clothing? Are you a fan of big grey jumpers too?

What To Wear As A Wedding Guest

Dress Solace | Clutch Bag Designer Exchange | Shoes Public Desire

On Sunday one of my oldest and closest friends tied the knot. I absolutely love weddings and knew I wanted to wear something that little bit more glam for this special day. In turkish weddings, we tend to go all out, especially if it's someone that you're close to.

I knew I wanted something long and being 5ft9 it's really hard to buy long dresses off of the highstreet. It's something that I have always struggled with. I'd found so many BEAUTIFUL dresses, but when it came to the length, they were just swinging around my ankles ( and not in a good way). So when I went to London Fashion Weekend I saw this short lady trying this dress on and thought, 'there's a lot of extra length on the floor, it must be a really long dress' so I waited to try it on.

And I'm so happy that I did. When I walked out the changing room to have a look in the mirror, I saw this shopper literally gasp, and she said that it looked amazing... naturally, if someone gasps when you walk out a changing room, you buy the dress! 

The dress is a blue black and I decided to team it with a pair of pink/purple shoes as I felt that it would really bring the colour of the dress out. 

Can we just talk about this Bottega Veneta clutch for a second. MMMM! Obsessed. Please can I keep it forever!

This is just a styling shoot, for the wedding I went and had my hair put in a rather glam up do. If you would like to see pictures of how my hair was on the wedding, or the bride check out my Instagram here.

How would you have styled this dress?
