Bag of the Week - Oriental Inspired

Hey Guys!

So I want to try this new thing where I take a bag from my collection and try to see what garments and looks would look best with it. I will be looking for inspiration not only from fashion but also looking at celebrities and the high street. I hope this not only becomes interesting to read but also shows you a new way in which you can experiment with fashion and become bolder in your everyday looks, namely accessorising with fabulous bags and accessories. Many of the bags I will be talking about are available to buy so if you are interested please don't hesitate to email me or look at our Facebook Page so you can message me online.

Firstly the bag I want to begin with is a simple one to test the waters and see how this goes.

This is a Black Silver Framed Oriental Clutch

So with Spring/Summer around the corner its time to start experimenting with new colours and fabulous clothing. This black clutch has a hint of the orient which is influencing the high street massively this season. Looking great in oriental florals and teaming it with this black clutch is a great look. Lorraine from Daybreak recently did a section of the show discussing the new flavour of the orient stamping their mark on the high street, you can find the link at the bottom of the post.

Here is a gorgeous Monsoon dress in the oriental style, possibly an 'event' dress as it comes in at £149...stunning none the less.

Monsoon dresses are easily our go to for wedding guest chic this season. From their far-east inspired maxi dresses, to dainty cocktail frocks, there's something for every sort of wedding and every type of guest.

I love the rich shades and with a heavy embellished necklace this dress could be mistaken for designer any day. And finally teamed with our unique black clutch bag it will blow anyone anyway.

Another great item is this oriental jacket at Zara coming in at £40. Again paired with the black clutch would be perfect for any occasion whether it be drinks or going out for meal.

Similar to Monsoon I love the prints used in Zara's clothing and it always looks either top class high street or moving into the designer field which as we all know makes any girl feel amazing.

Looking at the rest of Zara's 2013 Spring/Summer collection I can see much of the oriental influence of their pieces opting for floaty statements either embellished in jewels or going for a silk with a print. Either of the looks is amazing.

Below are a few I loved.
