Here are some photographs that I shot in relation to the review I wrote about my new Scaramanga bag, you can view the review here. You can find the Scaramanga website by clicking here.

So the other day (Wednesday to be precise) I purchased a bag for the first time from Scaramanga and by Thursday morning it had arrived (I know, quick right!?) Scaramanga are sellers of the most gorgeous antiqued leather bags of all different styles. Each Scaramanga leather bag is made in the heart of Britain using traditional methods and tools.
I stumbled across Scaramanga after conducting a search on good old google, what I searched for, "vintage leather bag". After searching through a great number of websites, and having no look finding what I was looking for I might add, I finally came to Scaramanga and even though they aren't exactly vintage bags, they still seemed to have that vintage feel.
As soon as it had arrived I knew I had made the right decision. The leather of the bag is deliciously soft and supple while still holding it's shape (don't you just hate it when the leather is as stiff as cardboard?! well, maybe you don't...) and it already looks like it has seen years of wear when in fact it hasn't! The length of the strap is adjustable in the same way you would alter your belt and there are three separate pockets, two interior and one exterior (always a helpful feature for those little nicknacks that always seem to get lost even in the smallest of bags...). I just love it, can you tell?
I will update you all soon with some style photos (just have to wait for it to stop raining) :) You can visit the Scaramanga website by clicking here.

I discovered Sexy Sweaters through Tumblr a couple of years ago but at that point you couldn't actually buy the sweaters you saw on the screen. Now however, you can! I haven't been on Tumblr in so long and so was blissfully unaware of this development, until now. Sexy Sweaters has finally been turned into a shop, Mr. Gugu & Miss Go. Above are some photographs of some of my favourite of their creations from their Tumblr blog, most aren't available to purchase right now but one (the first sweater pictured to be exact) is! It's called the Kaboom Sweater and is my favourite for some personal reasons due to it's name. I wont go into the details because you will most likely lose the plot by the end or think it is completely not funny (you know how personal jokes go, they are only really ever funny to the people involved..) Anyway, check out their blog, Sexy Sweaters and shop, Mr. Gugu & Miss Go to discover some fantastic creations.

I am currently in love with these Prada clutches from the S/S 2012 collection. My favourite style has to be this one pictured below (image from JAK & JIL). I've been watching a few on ebay but i'm super wary of buying from there because you can never be sure whether you are going to end up with a genuine or fake item! I've read that now a days even the fake designer items come with all the special packaging, even the authenticity cards! So if you know of a reliable source where I can pick one of these up, please email me and let me know, thanks :)
