Any items/links marked with '[AD - Pr products]' are products which have been gifted to myself from the respective brands, as this is classed as a form of advertising it is marked as such but I am under no obligation to feature these items and I never accept gifting from a brand that I don’t or wouldn’t naturally spend my own money on. Whilst I link what I’m wearing and ‘affordable alternatives’ where possible I want to encourage you to look at your existing wardrobe to re-create my outfits and to consider shopping second hand ( #secondhandbutgrand ) for any additional items that you may want to add. But also remember that it’s my job to create content, hopefully to educate and help with style choices but this is why I have a more extensive wardrobe and the volume of clothing I have shouldn’t be used as a benchmark, so don't put pressure on yourselves to keep up with me or any other creators you see on social media. ◾️WHAT I WAS WEARING◾️ BLACK JUMPER - Old Massimo Dutti BLACK CARDIGAN https://apprl.com/al/6IJp/ [AD - Pr products] JEWELLERY https://bit.ly/3mW3TWH ◾️BAGS FEATURED◾️ LOEWE 'PUZZLE' (SMALL SIZE) https://apprl.com/al/5gtp/ FIND PRE-LOVED HERE https://bit.ly/3oo4qlg LOEWE BASKET BAG (SIZE: BASKET) https://apprl.com/al/5YuA/ MEASUREMENTS OF 'BASKET' SIZE: Height 25cm, Width (at widest part) 47cm, With at narrowest part 27cm, Depth 17cm FIND PRE-LOVED HERE https://bit.ly/33cbVmk AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVES HERE https://bit.ly/3svoXW2 HERE https://bit.ly/3eOcico HERE https://bit.ly/3gEXZIu HERE https://bit.ly/305alA3 AND HERE https://apprl.com/al/6Xwl/ CELINE 'SEAU SANGLE' (STANDARD/MEDIUM SIZE) FIND PRE-LOVED HERE https://bit.ly/3yeBh0h AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVES HERE https://apprl.com/al/6Thx/ AND HERE https://bit.ly/392boGO (AD - Part of a Collaboration with Xupes in 2018) CHANEL 'JUMBO XL' TOTE (VINTAGE) https://bit.ly/3uT5sYT FIND PRE-LOVED HERE https://bit.ly/3tKQItC GUCCI 'LADY WEB' FIND PRE-LOVED HERE https://bit.ly/2S1DcVu AFFORDABLE ALTERNATIVE HERE https://bit.ly/2RoOSl5 AND HERE https://bit.ly/3tT6hiZ WANDLER 'AVA' (LARGE) https://apprl.com/al/6chZ/ FIND PRE-LOVED HERE https://bit.ly/3ypgzei If I may also recommend trying out Handbag Rental services like Cocoon Club https://www.cocoon.club This is a great way to try before you buy to see if you really do like a certain bag and if it would work for you. I tried it out earlier this year (compliments of Cocoon Club) with a Bottega Cassette bag and I'm glad I did as I almost wasted my money buying when when really it didn't work for me.
