Skirt: Haute Hippie. Sweat Shirt & Boots: TopShop. 

Bag: Balenciaga.

I'm a big fan of day time sequins. So much more fun then sequins at night! 

The boots I'm wearing are these beauties from TopShop. Double zipped loveliness- I was powerless to resist. I'm always trying to get my hands on the Acne Pistol boots (always sold out!) and these ones actually seem to fit me better. They've already sold out online but I spied a couple of pairs in the Oxford Circus branch. 

Be quick!

Purple Passions

Shoes: Charlotte Olympia. Bag: Chanel.

My new bag that I tweeted about here and another pair of Charlotte Olympia shoes that are making my feet very happy at the moment.

Hopefully will have outfit posts with both over the next few days.... I've been a very lazy blogger this past week. I have been eating tea and toast in bed and watching old episodes of 'Keeping up with The Kardashians'. Don't judge me!

The shopping in Wilmington is practically non existent. Thank goodness for the internet. I love me some online browsing but nothing really beats the thrill of actually touching the clothes, trying them on and smelling that new clothes smell. Ahhhhhhhh.... 

Shopping addict? Moi?

Florally Unfit

Dress: Vaudeville & Burlesque. Jacket: TopShop. 

Bag: Courtesy of Nicole Miller. Boots: ASOS.

For those of you back in England you'll be seeing this dress on TV very soon. It's part of Molly's wardrobe from 'Bedlam'. I wasn't convinced about it at first because I'm not really a "pretty dress" kind of girl but my leather jacket toughens it up nicely. Molly wears it with patent Mary Janes and a Princess coat... She's much nicer then I am ;)

I am in love with this bag! The bike chain strap, the mustard yellow lining, the satchel vibe, the leather.... I love it all. 

P.S Where has all the LA sunshine gone?!

Ooooooooh I cannot even begin to tell you the drama I had getting my hands on this bag. It was a birthday gift from the boy and his lovely family (thank you Goldbergs!) and was ordered in advance of my birthday from Net-a-Porter. First there was a delay getting the bag delivered, then when it eventually arrived I wasn't sure I even liked the bag anymore and spent a week comparing and contrasting it with every other 'Alexa' in the world, then when I finally decided to stop being crazy and admit my love for the bag.... IT BROKE. I wore her for one hour to Sainsbury's and the postman's lock broke. I do not even have the words to express my anger. The following few days were spent on the phone to Net-a-Porter's customer care team (hello Jane!) who arranged to have the broken bag collected and then sent me out a new one. So now here she finally is: My patent mini leopard Mulberry 'Alexa'. And let me tell you something, after all that drama- I love her.

The white shirt I'm wearing comes from Club Couture. I am of the belief that you can never have too many shirts. This one has sparkly buttons so it's completely different from the 6 other white silky shirts in my wardrobe. At least that's what I tell myself ;)

Props to storets.com for this gorgeous skirt.... Makes me feel like a ballerina and since it's black that must mean I'm a black swan ballerina. Yes I am!

p.s Have you noticed Oscar peaking at me from the corner of some of these shots? He gets so excited when me and the boy go outside to take the blog pictures. I'm trying to make a gif of him ambushing me during this shoot. 

p.p.s This outfit was only made possible by the two pairs of Uniqlo heat tech leggings and my M&S thermal vest worn under it. God bless thermal!

My love for the vintage Chanel I posted about here is still going strong but I'm finding it hard to commit to spending such a large amount of money for something I haven't actually laid eyes on.

However I do still need a new bag (need might be a slight exaggeration) and have yet to add a satchel to my collection. Vying for a place in the Ring My Bell wardrobe are these two beauties.... Equally satchel-ly but different in their own ways. There is something serious and no nonsense about the Proenza and it carries with it heavy weight fashion credentials but we all know how much of a sucker I am for anything leopard and patent! I know all about the "simple will last you longer" argument but.... life is too short to shop that way!

Does everyone else buy themselves a birthday present or is that just me? One week until my birthday!!!

Bag Porn.

It's big. It's black. It's quilted. It's Chanel. Do I need to say more?

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE.

Anyone know what this bag is called???

Links to pictures of this bag will be greatly appreciated. Send me Chanel bag porn!
