So What do you keep in yours?

Well girls we seldom leave the house without one whether it is big or small so what do you keep in yours?    The average woman has twenty one handbags in their wardrobe and buys a new one every three months.  So what attracts us to a certain handbag?  Is it that it will match a particular outfit in our wardrobe or just that we liked the look of it in the shop window? 

Most of us will carry our mobile phone, purse, make-up and hankies but we also carry lots of other things that “we may need.”   So do you need a large satchel type bag to hold all your worldly belongings or can you manage with a stylish clutch bag?

 

It is interesting to know that most of us have a favourite bag that we use on a day to day basis but that still does not stop us from filling our wardrobes with many other handbags.   Do you look for a practical bag, a bright colourful bag or an unusual design?

Please let us know here at Fashion in a fast World what is the most unusual thing you keep in yours?   The best comment will be rewarded with a free handbag to add to their collection.  Please let us have your comments by 6^th September 2013 – the winner can choose from the great collection of handbags on the LEC Boutique Website – get those comments flowing in.

In my collection I currently have 18 handbags so I have some shopping to do to reach the national average. (What a great excuse!)  My handbag holds my purse, phone, pen, keys, hairbrush and hankies but I almost always carry a large handbag because I find when I am out with my hubby I end up with his car keys, his glasses and sometimes even his wallet. Well if I’m honest the last one comes in handy at times especially if I see a nice little handbag in a shop window!

Fifty shades of Grey....Hair

 

Have you noticed how many celebrities are going grey?    This has nothing to do with getting older but is a choice they are making. 

This seems a strange trend as the rest of us spend hundreds of pounds trying to cover up the grey maybe we can save some money and join the celebs in turning grey.  But before we decide to sack our stylists lets decide if the trend is one that we like.

They used to say life begins at forty but with the catwalk models and celebs deciding to experiment with grey hair perhaps life begins with grey!  (I mean the hair colour of course!)  So what are the best outfits and colours to wear with grey hair?   The following video clip shows Jill Kirsh advising on colours to suit grey hair. 

High contrast black and white pieces work well and you could add a little pop of colour with bright colour shoes or accessories.   It is best to avoid greys and greens can be tricky too with some shades even making your hair look green.   If you still need inspiration though look at what the celebs are wearing and decide if it would work for you.

If you still need convincing then perhaps these following pictures will convince you.

Shoes – comfort or killer heels?

Sandra Bullock looked amazing in her little black dress and killer red heels on a recent rare night out in London.   

How many of us suffer on a night out by wearing high heels and suffering sore feet by the end of the evening but what damage are we doing to our feet?  Any shoe with a heel over two inches in height causes concern but wearing stacks such as wedges or platforms can give you that extra height and not be so damaging.  

There is a current trend at the moment for wearing flats instead of killer heels and celebrities are swapping their fabulous killer heels for flats.    Big names like Kim Kardashian and Victoria Beckham have already changed to stylish over the knee boots or fashionable ballet pumps.   Even Sarah Jessica Parker has traded in her sex in the city heels for a sensible pair of flats.

The most popular flat shoe for British women is the ballet pump closely followed by Chelsea boots.  Flats can look great with a designer t-shirt and skinny jeans and they work well with summery short skirts.

So the next time you are out clubbing and end up dancing in your bare feet because your heels are killing you give some thought to re- styling your look to wear a pair of fashionable ballet pumps – just like the celebs.
