Celeb Style Steal - Kylie Jenner

What do you buy an 18 year old that has it all? That's right a Hermes bag and a Ferrari in white!!

Not that we're jealous or anything *ahem* but this young lady is one lucky gal with her totally lavish birthday gifts.

Mum and Momager Kris, gave her youngest child the bag of all bags...the king of all bags, the Birkin! If you're ever lucky enough to own a Birkin, you really have made it in life. With prices ranging from a huge £7000 to a whopping £100k it clearly is a statement of wealth for celebs and the rich and famous. 

Of course the birthday was marked with a fun filled blow out, attended by top name celebs including Gigi Hadid and the rest of the Kardashian clan.

One thing we did spot was Kylie's other choice of arm candy. Shh! we're about to give you a style steal...

Our Melina Beige Saddle Bag is a fabulous alternative to a clutch and is perfect for housing your evening essentials. Crafted from grainy faux leather, this style is your perfect accessory dressed up or down.

Check it out in pink too in our new arrivals.

Take these gorgeous red hot lips for example, no we don't mean Kylie Jenner's, we mean this amazing clutch, pictured below.

Again, finished off with a shine in white and black with gold trim detail, this edgy accessory is designed in the style of a playing card.

OMG! Khloe Has A Walk-In for Fitness Wear

So most of us would actually die for a walk in wardrobe, but imagine having a walk in purely for your fitness wear! Well check out Khloe Kardashian's...we are well jel!

First off, there's a whole back wall and two side panels dedicated to sneaks. And not only that, they're colour co-ordinated like a rainbow! To the left we're talking shorts and vests, to the right it's hoodies and leggings.

Now this is only one angle of the closet, Khloe also has a counter full of wrist and head bands, sports bras and other jaw dropping accessories.

Seriously though, Khloe loves her fitness and whilst this resembles an actual sports shop, we bet it all gets used. The fact that its all neatly displayed and colour co-ordinated suggests this Kardashian is a true and devoted fitspo!

Princess Charlotte's Christening

It's been a while since any of us have clapped eyes on the new royal baby, princess Charlotte. She's been kept well out of the spotlight with brother George until last weekend, when we were given full on view and endless pics of the  adorable pair at her Christening.

Kate and William walked to the Sandringham church and the streets were lined with thousands of well wishers all waiting to get a glimpse of the beautiful family. George looked happy and sweet, dressed in a charming cream shirt and matching red shorts. The outfit mirrored Williams, worn back in 1984, when he first met Harry. Kate looked chic as ever, wearing a strikingly similar outfit to the one she wore for George's christening as pictured below.

For Princess Charlotte's christening, she opted for the same colour scheme and accessories and as ever, looked absolutely stunning. 

As for baby Charlotte, tradition took precedence. Wearing the same christening gown that had been passed down through the generations and worn by royal babies before her and the vintage pram she travelled to the church in, was the very same one the Queen had used for her children.

Wimbledon Fashion 2015

So Wimbledon is well and truly underway and we have to say, that whilst we love the tennis (obvs) we've got our eye on the celebs and fashion.

Wimbledon is known for it's customary traditions, such as eating strawberries and cream and the strict white clothing rule for competitors. These traditions, amongst many others all contribute to making Wimbledon the oldest, most prestigious tournament loved all over the world.

So, who have we seen so far? And more importantly, what are they wearing and what arm candy are they carrying!!

First up is Millie Mackintosh looking gorgeous and summery in a light ruffle printed dress, teamed with a Chanel bag. You can steal the bag style with our Ava bag and guess what?....we've just added it to the sale!! 

We have to say we are absolutely loving Jodie Kidd's look here. This gorgeous blue mix skater dress, gives a smart casual understated look teamed with the tan flats, shades and monochrome bag with a hint of neon! Check out our Phoenix bag for another style steal and the Pom Poms too!

We can't wait to see who'll be at Centre Court finals!

Finishing Touches - It's All In The Detail!

No matter what the special occasion, or night out on the town, us ladies love to plan our outfits....FACT!

And it's not just our outfits either! we plan every last detail including hair, make-up, spray tans and nails!

But, planning for a night out, whilst exciting, can leave us full on stressed up to the eyeballs. Why do we get ourselves like this? it's meant to be something really fab to look forward to, yet in the blink of a mascara wand, if we can't find anything to wear or our winged eyeliner isn't right, we can turn into stroppy little divas!

So let's take a step back and ease some of the drama! We've got some top tips on creating the perfect stress free look, whilst creating uber class and style!

1.  Shopping for a new outfit? Then buy ONE! not two, or a few dresses, because they were half price in the sale! Last thing you need, is all three laid out on the bed at 7.30pm with the taxi beeping outside and you're still doing eenie, meenie, miney, moe! Decide on the outfit at least the day before, and all the accessories and finishing touches must work around that!

2. Never tan in a rush! We've all done it, slapped it on with 5 minutes to spare and the playsuit you've been dying to wear now looks ridiculous teamed with patchy, flaky legs and let's not even mention the knees! In our experience, it's best to tan the night before and spend time exfoliating and moisturising the rough patches on knees, elbows and backs of the hands. 

3. Plan your hair and make-up and stick to it. Oh and don't try anything too risky, whilst in 'getting ready mode'! Remember Bridget Jones ironing her hair out on the ironing board...it's disaster with a capital D! No, in our opinion, whether, it's an up do, curly or straight, stick to a hairstyle you've done a million times before, or at least you've practised beforehand.

When it comes to make-up, this is a tricky one. You've seen that vid on youtube, you know the one, that top beauty blogger doing her amazing winged liner and smokey eye and think to yourself...i'll do that at the weekend! 

Uh...oh...you're now staring at your reflection in horror, wondering why you look like a panda. When will we ever learn? These beauty bloggers have probably recorded this vid like 20 times before they uploaded the perfect one. By all means try a new lipstick or shadow, but probably best to go with the application of what you know. 

Check out Amrezy and Hudabeauty on Instagram. Both of these gorgeous gals offer some amazing beauty and make-up tips. We guarantee you'll take inspo from their pics and vids! 

4. Acessorise...accessorise! Top tip with your accessories, is try to get them matching up as best as you can or you could end up looking like a Christmas tree. Too much can be a distraction and you want everything to compliment each other. For example if your wearing a heavy embellished dress with gems and sequins, then go for a simple, elegant clutch bag and shoes. Or if you're wearing a multi coloured floral jumpsuit, pick out a prominent colour in the garment and choose that colour in a clutch bag and shoes. Simple really, when you think about it!

Finally, let's not forget about those talons! A big NO NO is chipped nail polish girls. Don't go to all the trouble of looking reem, then spoil it with grubby nails. Book yourself in for a Shellac and Minx a couple of days before and your good to go!

Bloggers With Bag Envy!

It's not just our adoring customers and social followers who've got bag envy! Did you know we also have an army of bloggers and vloggers who love our arm candy too.

To be honest, not that we're blowing out own trumpet *ahem* but if you've ever shopped with us before you'll know our huge selection of handbags and accessories, truly are gorgeous and totally amazing quality. For us, it's all about style and price. Let's face it, most of us ladies love to change our handbags more times that we have hot dinners, so we need to have access to fabulous styles at prices that won't break the handbag piggy bank!

Here's a few of our favourite styles...

The utterly gorgeous Sophie & Emma from 'My Sister's Wardrobe' love our Anais bag. Emma styled it here with a simple skinny jean and platform...perfect look isn't it?

One of our next key looks is working the monochrome vibes, black and white is so modern and stylish! 

Blogger Laurie-Elle's daily essentials included our dotty purse and hint of colour with her favourite Burberry lippy. The beauty of this purse is, that it doesn't have to be hidden away in your bag. It's got tons of character and look good just carried on it's own. Make sure your nails have a contrasting colour such as cobalt blue or vibrant yellow!

One of our all time best selling styles at Bag Envy is the Embossed Logo Tote Bag! It comes in 2 sizes and a variety of colours and with it's winged body and clean simplistic lines, it's a handbag winner. Youtuber Maddie Bruce loves hers in nude pink. We think her whole outfit complimented this style and colour perfectly. Unfortunately nude has sold out now, but you can bag it in other colours.

Another favourite which we re-launched for a second time is our Dayton tote bag. This style is really roomy, especially if you have loads to carry and it's so versatile with the extra detachable shoulder strap. Youtuber Jodie Porteous was spotted only yesterday strolling round London with the Dayton in beige. You can also bag it in tan too!

Kylie Comes Clean!

Finally, the youngest Jenner has come clean...about that bee sting pout! 

Of course we already knew her secret and not that she had to tell. But we never believed for a minute she'd used some amazing lip pencil or plumping cream. Why? Because us gals would be on it like a hot potato, and the miracle beauty product would have cleared the shelves faster than you can say Kardashian Jenner!  

To be honest, we think Kylie is beautiful and looks absolutely amazing. Everyone has their own insecurities and everyone deserves to be happy with the way they look and how they feel about themselves. If Kylie or anyone chooses to have cosmetic surgery then we shouldn't judge.

But on the other side of the coin, many of us would love these procedures but can't afford the costs. So we want to know your favourite lotions, potions and plumpers!

One of our all time favourites is the Soap & Glory XL Extreme Plump
