Okay, what can I say? As mentioned in some of our tweets, we are born again fashion addicts. But not just any kind of addict- we are addicted to accessories! Big and bold statement necklaces, killer designer shoes, and BAGS. Boy oh boy do girls love their bags. So unfortunately for our darling readers, you will have to succomb to this new obsession by taking witness to our new bag of the week feature.
Up first is a new discovery, Lauren Merkin. Vintage meets its modern match with one of Merkin’s latest additions to the collection- Tess. A new age beauty with an old soul. Mixed to perfection with a soft subtleness and a touch of extravagance. Double the chain handle and pair with pearls with a little black dress and channel Audrey or drop the chain long and wear with jeans, a classic tee and fabulous pumps for the ideal SJP.

this week on thou shall not covet…
Miranda Kerr photographed by Chris Colls
the soft haze of spring hovers over a field not too far away…
making its way toward the creek in your window…
where it will slither through your blanket, tinkle your toes, and whisper “Spring is here!”
(And yes, we are most definitely coveting those sultry yet sweet pink bow heels by Miu Miu.)

Who says artists aren’t fashionable? One of our fave new discoveries, Kate of Little Doodles, posted about one of Dujour’s coveted trends. Bows of course! I mean throw in some sequins, pink and cupcakes, and we got ourselves a real party. And what’s better, she featured our latest designer discovery love, Elizabeth Lau from London!

+ Writing in glitter pens. Guys think its weird but it makes me happy!
+Putting sequins in letters before I post them. I don’t do glitter though – thanks to all the cleaning up people don’t seem to appreciate it as much as harmless sequins and confetti!
+ Its finally starting to warm up this week! (Or at least it is over here in England!)
+ Egg and cress sandwiches. For some strange reason I’ve had so many this week!
+ Looking forward to my day trip to Paris next week. Aside from art galleries that means one all important thing. Raspberry macaroons.
+ I’ve been wearing my Lime Crime eyeshadows this week to try and brighten things up again. I still can’t get over how glittery and rich the pigments, and their bright colors!
+ I love the way people use sequins to embellish their eye make-up! Staying on the topic of Lime Crime, I love this sequin scattered tutorial from their intern Anna!
+ Mini Daffodils in a plant pot on the windowsill. You can still bring spring and sunlight into an attic dorm room!

Introducing our latest blog column: look look! Each week we’ll feature look books from some of the hottest emerging designers around the world that will have you drooling, lusting, and emptying your piggy banks. First up is Ruby.
New Zealand based label and store, Ruby Boutique, has churned out a highly covetable, Dujour-worthy collection of sunset pink coats fastened with gold buttons, soft lavender capelets & gauzy sweetheart dresses intermingled with ruched shoulders and lacy sleeves, pretty pleats and sheer ruffles, as well as layers of chiffon that are like the whispered breezes of spring. We can’t get enough. Never have we wanted an entire collection in our closets…like now! Thankfully they have made it easy for all of us with their gorgeous online boutique. So the only thing standing between our future bankruptcy and a wardrobe full of girly delights is the click of a mouse!

Oh boy, our latest designer discovery love nearly left us in tears. Nadino is an enchanting and unique clothing label, where each piece is carefully designed and handmade by British designer Nadia Izruna. Celebrating the lady from era’s gone by, Nadinoo invites timeless silhouettes and detailing to create it’s vintage felt collections. Dujour girls will feel right at home, with a surplus of boastful bows, flirtatious frills and beautiful bell shapes in sumptuous silks and cottons from Liberty of London prints. The whole collection is one to covet. Without coming off the least bit trendy, each look represented the upcoming spring looks to perfection. Our fave was the gorgeous sequin number below. Over a white jersey tee, frayed boyfriend jeans, and black ankle boots, you’ll be turning heads with your downtown punk meets girly princess swagger.
£177.00 Midnight Dazzle top by British designer Nadino. Available here.
