Cath Kidston X Disney Haul: Winnie the Pooh

I'm quite a big Cath Kidston fan, so when I heard they were collaborating with Disney I was super excited. The first Cath Kidston X Disney collection was Winnie The Pooh, which is actually one of my favourites, so of-course I had to buy something from the collection. The collection is limited edition, so the majority of their items in this range are now out of stock. It is obviously a very popular collaboration,  as I believe that most of the items were out of stock online within a few days.

I fell in love with the Bramley Sprig print, I think it is so pretty and ditsy. I love small floral patterns so knew I wanted something from this print. I picked up the bag and the cosmetics bag. The bag is great as it is reversible so you can take your pick from the Bragley Sprig Print or the Balloon Spot print. It makes a great day bag and fits all of my essentials inside. I really didn't need another make-up bag, but I just couldn't resist this one and being as it was only £10 I knew it would house my makeup perfectly.

Dreaming of Handbags

Jane Shilton Black and Pink Parrot Bowling Bag | Brown Leopard Print Mini Satchel | Vintage Styler Eva Blush Art Deco Pearl Clutch  

I am absolutely loving the pastels, pinks, creams and browns that are everywhere at the moment. I  love colours like this as I find them easy to style as my wardrobe consists of most of those colours and they seem to be pretty stylish any Season. I am in love with this Jane Shilton bowling bag; I just love the textures and the size is perfect for me. I think it would be a perfect transitional bag which could take you from day to night, and would look good with almost any outfit. I love River Island for handbags, and I think their mini satchels are gorgeous. They are available in a variety of colours, but I think this leopard print bag is just a little bit different to anything I have seen elsewhere on the highstreet. Finally, the gorgeous pearl clutch is something I absolutely adore. It looks perfect for a night out or a special event. I think pearls are a classic statement piece which will never age, and what better than to have them on a bag?!

I have always been a little bit of a stationary fanatic and I get seriously excited about buying new notepads and pens. I love writing as I am sure you can tell from my blog, and one of my favourite pastimes, as silly as it sounds, is writing by hand in a pretty notepad with cute stationary!

Smiggle are a popular Australian stationary brand, who came to the UK last Year. I absolutely love their cute, quirky and unique collections, and I even included their products in my last Christmas gift guide. 

Smiggle's new transactional website is launched Today (23^rd March 2015), so of-course this is big news for all stationary lovers out there! 

I also have a pretty cool discount code for you all, which is valid to use from the 23rd March up until the end of March. Just enter the discount code UKBLOGGER20 at the checkout to receive a generous 20% off your order!

MiPac Duffel Bag from House of Fraser: Fathers Day Gift Guide

The Mi Pac Classic Duffel Bag is a great holdal bag for pretty much anyone. I am featuring this duffel bag as the final part of my Fathers Day Gift series. Although Fathers Day is now over, I still think this would make the perfect gift for your Dad, Granddad, or any man in your life. 

As you can see from the first image, the bag looks very flat when it is empty. I wasn't sure how much I could fit inside the bag, but it is actually huge and spacious and I could fit a lot inside it. The bag seems to expand in size when it is full, leaving plenty of space for everything you need..(Width: 50cm x Depth: 28cm x Height: 28cm)

The bag has the usual holdall handles, and also an additional longer strap which is ideal to throw over your back if needs be. The longer strap is comfortable as it is slightly padded so is ideal if you are carrying it over your shoulders. 

The bag is great also, as it is easily cleaned if it is to get dirty. 

I love the navy and tan colour theme on the bag, I think it a really refreshing change as our family usually opt for plain monochrome duffell bags. 

I know my Dad really appreciates useful gifts, which is why I chose the duffell bag. A duffell bag is useful for so many different occasions. I know this bag would be ideal for travelling on holiday or if he is going away for a few days to a Festival, or even for work. Not only that, but a duffell bag comes in use for everyone in the family. 

You can purchase this bag from House of Fraser for £35 *currently £28* here.
