Funk+Mode: FASHION ALERT!

Hi guys, I know, haven't been posting, actually i haven't posted for a few months now, what can i say, have been enjoying the weather lol. Just been doing what I like best, writing a wish list of shoes, bags, nail polish...well the list goes on. When i'm bored, I often find myself going to online retail websites eyeing up potential fashion items that i would like to buy when i get the chance. In my opinion, everyone should do this, its called planning ahead, if all women did this we would leave the house knowing exactly what to buy and where to buy it, saving you hours in one shop and slashing your day by half, not as quick as men but almost there, remeber walk first, not run lol.

Below are screen shots of my wish list comprised of what i think is a must have this season and where you can find them, enjoy, please leave comments on any thing that tickles your fancy.

Coats / Jackets ( coats with leather sleeves)

The it jacket at the moment is mixed materials. I love jackets with leather sleeves. Its unique, bold and daring. It really stands out and looks like something a superstar would wear and it instantly upgrades any outfit you wear, however drowsy it looks.

Rihanna, is definately rocking the style below. If you want to copy her look for a reasonable price that won't set your credit card or overdraft into space, then get a copycat version with faux leather sleeves on ebay! I'm currently bidding.

If you insist on getting a designer version, check out the following websites, good luck, some have sold out fast!

shopstyle.co.uk, farfetch.com, selfridges, The village bicycle ( www.imavillagebicycle.com)

For highstreet prices check out : zara, asos and asos market place, debenhams, topshop and ofcourse ebay!

bAGs/Purses

I love bags. You know what they say: A girl can never have too many bags or shoes. My favourite places to shop for bags are river island, asos, house of fraser, matalan, warehouse and javari.

Below is a compilation of my favourite bags and purses from high street to designer. I think some will be hot this season, especially designs with glitter, studs, patterns and block colours. I always like simple chic, as it matches any outfit.

Designer bags ( my dream wish list)

I love a bargain. But with designer bags, I always believe one should be cautious and not easily fooled. If a bargain is too good to be true, then it possibly is. Buying designer goods online should in my opinion be brought from reputable websites such as harrods, house of fraser , asos, farfetch,javari, debenhams and selfridges. Unless you are good at spotting fakes, it would suck to get what you think is the real thing to find out later its a copycat. I would rather splash the dosh and be rest assured than save money and end up with a fake, after all its designer, unless you wait until christmas, it is unlikely they will sell for more than half price. My advise would be to buy designer goods in a store than online.

MARC JACOBS, single shoulder bag, from Harrods, £515. Like the quilted look, similar to the chanel bags.
