What's in the Chiltern?

I've seen a few of these blogs around and decided to add to it - I think it speaks a lot for your personality what you covet in your handbag.  

Meet Chiltern - I adore her, she's a classy bird.  The charm on the bag is additional, my best friend bought it for me. 

It has three sections which each has a zipped pocket.  I don't really use the zipped pockets, except for a mirror (which i've forgotten to photograph - ooops)

So in my bag you'll find:

- Clutch purse from Accessorize

- Cath Kidston train pass holder

- iPod Classic 80GB (headphones were in my Macbook)

- Revlon handbag sized hairbrush

- Soap and glory 'Hand Food'

- Vaseline tub in Cocoa 

- Moleskine notepad and pen

- Benefit Boi-Ing in no.1

- MAC satin lipstick in Myth (depends on make up i'm wearing)

- Clinique High Impact mascara

- Limited Edition Ray Ban Wayfarers 

Case closed.

So other than this I just wanted to share the new Chanel 'Mademoiselle' Handbag campaign with Gossip Girls notorious bad girl Blake Lively.  I  cooed over these pictures for a good five minutes, she looks incredible, as do the bags.  Well done Lagerfeld.  Enjoy my pretties!

*Thanks to We Can Pretend for the pictures.

Vintage Clothing is My Kind of Antique

I don't know about you, but I could never stand that BBC one programme 'Antiques Roadshow', probably because I haven't as yet got my own home to make 'homely'.  My mum and dad always used to watch it on a Sunday before Monarch of the Glenn (now that, I LOVED).  I never understood the fuss of an old dresser or an ornament until I discovered vintage clothing.  There is nothing more rewarding than purchasing an item that is;

A. Timeless and,

B. Going to stick around for a while.

eBay is my current outlet for all things vintage and much to my debit cards disapproval, I have bids on several items.  I've just purchased this GORGEOUS chiltern satchel bag for a measly £20 and i'm so excited for it to come! 

Have you found any amazing vintage discoveries in your time? Or have you got a favourite vintage shop/market stall.  Let us know!
