If you're really into fashion like I am, you may know about designer collaborations with high street stores such as Sonia Rykiel for H&M, Lanvin for H&M, Kate Moss for Topshop, etc. However, this time, there is a very exciting one on the radar... Alice Temperley for Filofax!
This is all very exciting and I just hope that it will be within my budget as I would love, love, love to get my hands on one of these! Apparently, according to this article, it will be on show during AW12 which is a hell of a long time to wait (cue sad face) but I'm hoping it will be worth it!
I have to say, I'm more excited for this than Versace for H&M! What about you? Does this collab take your fancy?

what's in my bag #7

what's in my bag
Sooo... I was in Westfield White City last week and with some money in hand with my 21st birthday coming up, I splashed out. I'd be coveting a Prada bag for quite some time and when I walked into Miu Miu and saw a bag in exactly the same style but a few hundred bob cheaper, I knew this bag was the one. After all, Miu Miu is part of Prada anyway so it wasn't like there is much difference!
Here is the bag the bag came in - isn't it lovely?
And here is the bag itself:
And finally, what's in my bag:
In my bag are: headphones (as I also bring my Macbook Pro to college), pencil case and pens and pencils, a Cafe Nero card that is fully stamped - ready for me to claim my free coffee as I'll need it after a hard day of studying!, mentos, Panadol, Paul and Joe Sister lipstick, pocket mirror, bottle of water, Kleenex tissues, Strepsils, Caramel wafers and an Alpen bar.
So, this is what's in my bag at the moment - what's in yours?

my finchley family

filofax
This post is about my Finchley family :-)
First picture - family portrait. All that's missing are the Pocket and Mini sizes but for me, I think they will be too small to do anything with. At the back is the A5 Vintage Rose, then at the front from left to right is the Personal Vintage Rose, Personal Jade Green and the Personal Teal.
Next is a shot of how they look stacked up together. I love my Filofaxes stuffed to the brim but looks like I failed with the A5 - maybe due to a lack of inserts? Looks like I'll be stocking up at the November Philofaxy meet up :-)
Finally, the sides of the binders. I think this picture really captures the quality of the leather well. The leather is soft and supple and gets softer with use and that's why I love the Finchley range so much. The only Filofax I own which is of a different model is the Personal Raspberry Finsbury but I find the fact that it doesn't lie flat a bit annoying.
Please excuse my Carlsberg jug in the background - I use that to hold water in as I don't drink alcohol! It's much more convenient to have water in my room than have to walk to the kitchen to get water when I want it.

my classic items

fashion,
life,
organisation
Here are a list of my 'classic' items I could not live without. These are things to do with fashion, life and study and some may be a bit generic but maybe that is what makes a classic in the first place, right?
Anyway, here is the first one. This one is in the fashion category.
My Aquascutum Fleet mac.
I got it in the House of Fraser sale at 70% off the RRP and I have to say, I love it! It goes with anything and is a classic item. I do think they are better than Burberry trenches as these are less 'chavtastic' due to all the fake Burberry caps and whatnot that 'chavs' wear. (For those that don't know, 'chav' actually stands for 'council housed and violent' and was actually used first by the police in the UK but in time, people have taken it as another word for yobs.)
My second item is in the life category and is, of course, to do with organisation.
Since reverting back to my Filofax, I really appreciated how much fun organisation can be! And with Filofaxes being 'big' back in the 80s within the 'yuppie' culture, it can be deemed a classic as that was before I was even born!
My third item is 'study' and although I haven't had this item for long, I am in love with it already! It's my new Macbook Pro!
I bought it instore in the Regent Street store in London and I'm so glad I did for the experience of taking it home and setting it up myself, etc. The Macbook Pro is included as it is a classic - it is something that is important for the computer industry and that is why it is here in my post.
What are your classic items? Is it a bag? Or a car? Your house if you feel it is full of character? Or is it something that reminds you of something good?
