Fashion - Classic Black Handbags
There’s one thing every girl needs and I’m not talking a little black dress! I’m talking a classic, timeless black handbag!
Bayswater, Paddington, Ebury, Stam … I could go on but these are just a few of the true handbag greats that every girl aspires to own! Or maybe that’s just me…
Whilst they have pretty hefty price tags associated with them you can’t knock their eternal nature. Men love fast expensive cars, women like elegant classic handbags to “look after” the man’s wallet!
Which of these floats your boat ladies?
You’ll be hard pushed to find some of these readily available but keep clicking the linking below and you never know you’re luck may be in! Credit cards at the ready!

Twitter - Yesterday it was Burger King, today it's Jeep
So yesterday Burger King was ‘hacked’ although no formal announcement has been made only a single tweet! Today it’s Jeeps turn! And so far, no sign of Jeep having regained control!
Take a look at Jeep’s twitter profile
And here’s a few picks so far!
If these are the result of a backward PR stunt Burger King has come out strong – 86k to 112k followers!

Fashion - Colour Block
There’s nothing better than colour ready for the Spring!
And what better way to wear colour this season than through Colour Block items.
Some more sensible than others, whereas others may just send your eyes a little doolally!

Twitter - Burger King Profile Hacked?
So today Burger King’s twitter account was taken over and since been suspended. Their logo was replaced for the infamous MacDonald’s Golden Arches and many slanderous tweets made.
At the moment the profile has been locked down leaving behind the golden arches and description for it’s 109.7k followers – a figure that’s been increasingly steadily throughout the day I hasten to add!
So is this a cleverly executed campaign or were they really hacked?! I’m sure a press release will be out soon!
In the meantime check out their profile and these images below:-

Fashion - Butterfly
If there’s one thing that I’m loving at the moment it’s Butterflies.
In my home there are popping up everywhere – bed sheets, make-up brush holder, necklaces and earrings.
So I thought what better than to showcase some clothing that features this beautiful creature.

Fashion - Creepers
For those not in the know this is not some new US TV series these are a style of footwear!
For those who grew up in the 80s, think back to the days of Kickers and KangaROOS with the leather tag dangling off the laces.. Now mix this up with 70s platforms and ta-da … you have yourself a pair of Creepers!
I’m almost certain these are a fad fashion, no sooner have they come in and ‘everyone’ has a pair they’ll be ‘out’ again. What do you think fad that will fail or craze that won’t be a phase?
