OOTD: Black Leather Backpack

 Kipling London Backpack

This month Kipling London have something very special planned in London! They plan to put a smile on a thousands of Londoner’s faces with their #WeMakeHappy campaign, there is only a few days left to submit your happy message so make sure you go and do it now. Then next weekend (18th June), come down to the South Bank of London to see the instillation, it’s going to huge and filled with balloons and all the happy messages! Read more about it in this post and see who I picked as my special friend and why! This backpack is of course, by Kipling London, isn’t it cool?

Maui Jim Sunglasses

My friend (and fellow blogger) Adorn Girl recently told me cool sunglasses are a trademark for me. Part of my signature style, she said. I had never really thought of it like that before, but I guess I am a sunglasses addict, so I guess that would seem about right. These bad boys are by Maui Jim, they are incredibly comfortable and stylish, they also have perfectly polarised lenses. Maui Jim are a big eyewear name in the sports world, but if you are not so sporty (like me) make sure you look them up as their glasses are brilliant!

Brooches & Pins

Not only is my jacket covered in patches on the back, but I’m starting to cover the front in pin badges and brooches. I keep wearing the same few, but I’m itching to expand my collection. If anyone has seen any super cute brooches recently, send me the links! I wanna see! I need more! Also, completely off-topic, but my hair is desperately in need of both a root touch up and a hair cut, last week it was really stressing me out, but I have been so busy that I haven’t had a chance to book into a salon to sort it out. Then I got sent some shampoo and conditioner by PROVOKE A Touch Of Silver to try out and I didn’t really think much of it, but when I looked at these photos I realised my hair actually looks like a much nicer shade of blonde as a result, less yellow and brassy and instead it has a bit more of a rose gold tone to it. I’m still need a cut and a root touch up, but I’m impressed as the way it’s toned down the yellowness of it. Just thought I would share that in case anyone else has any blonde hair issues.
