Kate and William visit the Royal Marsden Hospital - L.K Bennett Clutch

Kate and William visited the Royal Marsden Hospital hospital in south London yesterday to open a brand new children's cancer unit. We spotted this gorgeous  L.K Bennett 'Natalie' clutch she was wearing. The only bad news we have is that it's not in stock! On the wish list it goes then!

Lady Bag Trend - Oasis

We're a big fan of the 'Lady bag' trend which resurged last year and it seems to be a key look this Autumn. Here's our high street pick from Oasis! We find with these styles that the simpler they are the better for that elegant chic look! We'll be featuring some luxe interpretations of this trends very soon!

Biba Snake Print Pony + House of Fraser 2 day brand event

We spotted this gorgeous snake print pony range from Biba at House of Fraser.   The combination of the pony against the supple leather is really chic. The gold branded hardware also adds to the uber premium look. The 'Faith' doctors bag above is a fab classic shape. We love the 'Gretal' cross body bag below also - this sold out when launched last year and has been a staple in the collection since. 

As a treat we bought this cute leopard print pony make up bag! It also comes in the grey snake pony and the black all over Biba emboss pattern! 

The House of Fraser 2 Day Brand Event starts Wednesday 28th September at 5pm online and runs in store on Thursday 29th and Friday 30th Septeber. They will be offering up to 25% off thousands of items,including great brands, including Biba! :)

We are on London's Oxford Street today and have come across some new collections from a number of stores and brands. We found this great buy in John Lewis by London brand Ri2K! It's called Latchmere and comes in this gorgeous berry coloured leather. It's a classic shape and features some nice subtle gold hardware to add to the overall chic look! We like! :) £139 at JohnLewis.com!

Burberry Prorsum Spring Summer 2012

Mulberry Alexa + SS12 pastels

MULBERRY had an amazing show last week so we thought we'd feature one of their classics - The 'Alexa' bag! This satchel style has been one of the 'it' bags that every girl has been seen with. Named after model Alexa Chung, it was an instant best seller. Made from supple leather with excellent workmanship as you would expect from this luxe brand!

Check out the fab invite below in the form of a small inflatable rubber ring! The purses below give you a hint of the colour pallet of the season..Plaster Pink, Summer Khaki and Fudge are our favourites so far! :)

Badgley Mischka Tam Quilted Patent Tote

We found quilting to be a key look for this season and this Tam patent tote from Badgley Mischka caught our eye in Bloomingdales! We love the gold hardware against the high shine patent. The geometric quilted pattern is also enhanced by the material. It was the last one in store but we've found it in stock at Forzieri at £379.85! Happy shopping! :)

Karen Millen Envelop Snake Clutch!

Whilst in NY we spotted yet another snake leather bag, this time from Karen Millen! We love the simplicity of it with the thin strap down the center and mini buckle detail. The colour also lends it self to go with a number of different outfits and looks for the evening. It's oversized also so sure to get everything you need in! Check out Karen Millen's Mid Season Sale
