A Sneaky Peak...

So, On a rainy journey to Liverpool recently I made a stop at a motorway service station - and picked up a copy of Elle Collection A/W which brightened up the rest of my journey as i flicked through the new collections & campaigns (which i will blog about in detail at a later date!)

But what caught my eye was a little section at the back with lists of what contributors to the magazine had in their handbags - such a simple idea, but fabulous because if your anything like me you'll love a good nosy at people private lives!


Whilst their lists consisted of Chanel Lipsticks, mine handbag contains a little less glamour but does carry around my life! So, here you go a quick nosy into my handbag...

Here's my beloved tan Birkin-alike handbag,


And the contents (minus a few old receipts and empty chocolate wrappers!)

My Polka-dot diary which i couldn't run my life without, Vera Wang perfume, Keys & Gym key, Body Shop Hemp hand cream, Blackberry, Aviators - absolute summer staple, Magazine, nail varnish, Factor 30 sun lotion due to my fair-skin & freckled cheeks, hand gel & chewing gum!

Flake or Fake?

Recently the Cadburys chocolate bar, Flake, has re-invernted it adverts into a beautiful peice of art - with Russian model Yulia Lobova and a dress by Anthony Price made with 200 meters of material twirling around creating a rippling effect mirroring the inside of the delicious crumbly chocolate...Oops is my mouth watering?

A fantastic, unusual advert some may say? Ah but critics have suggested it is a rip-off of Ol' Mossy's (Kate Moss) video for an Alexander McQueen feature. Take a look at the clips below & decide for yourself!

Yes the Great McQueen has probably been ripped off a little, & copying may be the best form of flattery but as gorgeous as the new advert is I can hardly see this making Kate 'Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' Moss running to get a flake! Oh well, Sod her - More for me! :)
