Hey kittens, today’s Outfit of the Day is a little more than just a ‘what I wore today’ look. It’s also a giveaway for you to win one very special piece of this outfit. Keep reading below to find out how to enter…
So kitty cats, today’s look is what I wore to the AXParis #AXPressDayAW14 this Saturday. Before heading over to the press day, I popped to the Northern Quarter to have lunch with some good company (as in people, not a business) and this outfit served me well for transitioning between daytime to nighttime.
With almost an ‘all black everrrythang’ outfit going on, I popped on my Sunflower print kimono from MissBehaver to quite literally brighten up the whole look. Although one could argue that florals are a little too summery for September, as I learnt from the John Lewis AW14 fashion show, ‘Winter Bloom’ florals are very much in, so with the black background to this print, I can see this kimono carrying my transitional wardrobe way further on into Autumn then most. Plus, the print is almost identical to those American Apparel two pieces and shirts, at a fraction of the price. Bargain.
As I know my kimono was doing all the talking, I kept my accessories pretty simple as to not go OTT, with just this statement necklace from Jon Richard brightening up my black studded shirt and black disco pants. My favourite accessory, however, has to be my beautiful Nica handbag. Carry on reading to hear all about it, and find out how to win one for yourself…
Win your own Nica Handbag
Nica Handbags have been a firm favourite luggage brand of mine for a very long time. Think back to my travel holiday post, or my trip down to London to see their SS14 collection for my own eyes, and my YouTube videos wearing another of their cute creations.
Every item of their’s I own is always exceptional quality for the price, and their designs are always unique, yet with a classic vintage edge. After meeting their head designer, Nica, myself I have fallen more in love with this sweet bran than ever and my newest addition to my ever growing collection, the “Lauren Grab Bag” is a new Autumn Winter variation of my favourite tan pick from their Spring Summer 2014 collection.
The Lauren Grab Bag is honestly the most perfect sized handbag I’ve ever owned. Yep, I love my Vivienne Westwood messenger bag, but gurrrl that does not fit enough of my essentials in. On the other hand, I lug a huge tote bag to and from work every day which can fit more than enough in, but I end up cramming it to the brim and it’s way to heavy to be worn on my shoulder. This is just the best of both. With two different zip sections, I can honestly fit everything I would ever need into this whilst it still looks tiny. It’s a Mary Poppins bag – no lie! On Saturday I managed to pop in: my travel make-up bag, my large wallet-style Vivienne Westwood purse, my iPhone, my Futurocks portable charger, a pack of tissues, a mirror, my business cards, a cereal bar and wait for it… My Canon DSLR camera. Yes. Really.
To win a beautiful Lauren Grab Bag in Black, just the same as mine, all you need to do is follow me on Twitter, follow Nica Handbags on Twitter and leave your email address so that we can contact you if you’re the lucky winner.
Simply follow the steps on RaffleCopter app below to enter, and feel free to follow the extra steps to win yourself from bonus entries into this fab giveaway competition. Y’all know the drill. Thanks for reading kittens, and best of luck!
