I can't believe it's March 1st already! I haven't posted in a while because I've been in NY! It was amazing, to anyone who's never been - you have to. It's unreal. Whilst I was there... I bought this badboy from Bloomingdales. 
Okay so I didn't really need it... but I just couldn't not buy it. It's so soft and furry inside I wish i could live in there!
How can you say no to practical Marc Jacobs?!

Just to warn you, picture heavy post! Also.. Happy new year! Hope you all had a good one. I realised the other day, I was so excited for the boxing day sales, but never told you all what I got! I had to be really good this year, I'm going to New York in February (which is so much sooner than I thought) so I've got save all my pennies to pay off the rest of the trip... and of course, to take as much money as I can!The bag above is actually full price in River Island - but saw it and loved it. It's £50, but I looked around frantically instore (it was literally crazy), and found this baby for £12.50! The strap was broken, so it was massively reduced. To see the bag online full-price click here.... At first I was a bit unsure if I could fix it, I superglued it but it didn't work, but then just clicked the strap onto the front instead of the back and it's perfect! It's huge too, can fit so much of my crap inside. 
And also luckily managed to grab the Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh - Daisy gift box set for only £34.99 (its about £65 full price). Contains the 75ml bottle, which to buy individually costs around £50. The lady said she'd sold around 20 of the boxes in the past hour, so I'm glad I got there in time!
And finally, the best and cheapest buy of the day. Vintage Jager blazer, £1.50. I got this from Age UK charity shop, and the label says it was reduced from £19.99. I absolutely love it, it fits perfectly and it has shoulder pads too (new obsession). Love the purple and green hues.
Did anyone else brave the manic sales? Not going to lie, it was horrible - but definitely worth it in the end.
Following on from my last post on Masculine styling, I came across this amazing online shop called Zalando. They sell loads of really pretty vintage-esque dresses, my favourites being the Mint & Berry ones. Here are a few of my favourites, one is practically the same as the lovely Marc Jacobs dress she wore! The best bit, is that they all have amazing collars, especially the lace one!

They're all amazing, and they have lots of more dresses on there too, French Connection, converse, and this pair of Doc Martens which I've wanted for so long, I couldn't find the minty green ones anywhere in my size!Lots of the things they've got on there are really similar to what Alexa wears, check out her style file on Vogue. Pretty random post, but I just wanted to show you all those lovely dresses, I can't find them anywhere else online! So tempted to buy the floral lace one.. or the long sleeved nude one. Which do you prefer?
Who doesn't love brogues, peter pan collars, tailored shorts and satchels? I'm certainly a massive fan of brogues, I own far too many it's getting a little bit ridiculous. Mulberry, the revival of the satchel have taken storm, and added a feminine twist with pink leopard prints. Not to mention them being named after style icon Alexa Chung, the queen of boy-meets-girl style who embraces the trend beautifully. Labels: Alexa Chung, Marc Jacobs, Masculine, Topshop, Trend
The best place to look for shirts and blazers is in charity shops at vintage fairs. You can pick up old mens shirts which are quite vile, but mixed with a nice belt and some red lipstick, for about £5, just like the shirt below in one of my old posts.What do you think of the masculine trend? Do or don't?
