PRINT – ways to wear it.

In my last post I looked at Diane Von Furtsenburg, Givenchy and L.A.M.B’s printed creations for Spring/Summer 2011, and although they are beautiful most of us can’t afford designer :P.  So in this post I’m looking at affordable ways to wear this seasons print-trend.

OUTFIT #1

Printed t-shirt, £15, black and white Aztec print leggings (Oh-so Givenchy! Check out my previous post) £26 both from URBANOUTFITTERS.co.uk.

Snake print headband, £6.99 RIVER ISLAND.  Festival bag, £20 from ASOS.com.  Elephant print TOMS from SCHUH.co.uk (soooo cute! I love elephants.)

Teaming printed leggings and accessories with a fun, laid back t-shirt is a perfect look for daytime.  You could also dress up the leggings with a pair of wedges and some tribal jewellery.

OUTFIT #2


Aztec print top, £16 and printed skirt £34.99 both from TOPSHOP.  Black wedge sandals £90 from FLY London at SCHUH.co.uk.  Woven navajo backpack £46 from URBANOUTFITTERS.co.uk.  Printed headband, £3.99 from NEW LOOK.

I really like this as an outfit,  I would wear it for daytime but you could dress it up by wearing a black lace top like this one from ASOS.com:

Hope this post was helpful and inspiring etc!  Went on a stylespot today and found some lovely lookin’ peeps so watch out for the ‘you’ve been BELFASHED #3’ post tomorrow.

Handbag Heaven.

Summer is coming so put those boring winter accessories to the back of your wardrobe and take a look at these sunny treats.

Every girl needs a nice summery handbag, whether it’s a big duffel bag for the beach or a little bright clutch for walking about town in the sun.  Here’s some of my favourites for every budget.

Striped duffel bag, £16.99 and Bright yellow duffel (also comes in blue), £14.99 both from NEW LOOK.  Love the print on the first duffel bag, it looks like something you could buy from a little spanish market.

Aztec print rucksack, £45.00 from ASOS.com

This rucksack is super versatile, use it for walking about town or as your carry on baggage and beach bag for Summer Hol’s!

Annnnd if you wanna treat yourself, why not do it with one of these gorgeous Satchels from the Cambridge Satchel Company!

14 inch Satchel, £108.00 from The Cambridge Satchel Company – available at URBAN OUTFITTERS

Also comes in Mint Green with navy detailing, and they sell smaller versions in neon pink and orange for £98.

Let me know if you liked these handbags or if there’s anything you’d like me to do a post on.

 As I’m in Donegal, tomorrow I thought I might do a post about the local arty-farty cafe, Muck and Muffins in Dunfanaghy.  It’s really cute they sell all sorts of wee bits and bobs for your home and handmade jewellery etc, as well as lovely coffee and cake – what more could you want!  Check out their li’l website http://www.muckandmuffins.com.

P.S. If you’d like to know, it’s raining up here and I have only brought shorts with me – silly billy.  Hopefully the weather picks up 🙂
