Hit and Miss of the Week: Odd Selection

I don't know if it's because I was away for most of the week and missed everything or if there really was just a bizarre selection of celebrities out this week, but this is definitely the most random hit and miss lineup. There's the amazing Leslie Mann (my best dressed of the week), Georgina Chapman in too much makeup, Lindsay Lohan (yes, I was desperate...) and Blake Lively.
This week was also filled with images of Renee Zellweger. I never normally like her style but the orange Carolina Herrera mini she wore to the premiere of The September Issue was stunning.

Back to School Bags

Even though I left school years ago I still get the urge to buy a 'back to school' bag around this time of the year. Getting a new school bag, pencil case and stationary at the end of August, ready for school in September, used to be really exciting when I was growing up - I always loved shopping. Before going to Paris I had a flick through some of my old Teen Vogue's and they all had 'back to school' features in them which made me wish for school-appropriate shopping trips even more.
So for those of you lucky, or unlucky enough (however you see it), to be starting a new year at school in September here are my favourite school bag styles, ranging from the Upper East Side to the Topshop budgets.

The Brown Satchel: I'm not an over-the-shoulder kind of girl, but recently I've been seeing people everywhere carrying satchels by the handles with the shoulder straps hooked over their arm (see Sienna below) which I think looks great. I love Topshop's take on the look just as much as Proenza Schouler's £10,000 version.


The Chic & Orange: Classic bags such as Mulbery's Bayswater and the Hermes Birkin look a lot more fun in orange. There is something about the combination of perfect structure and citrus colour which feels so right.


The Lightweight: Books are heavy, sometimes the best bag option is the one that weighs as little as possible but can hold a lot. Shoppers aren't always pretty but if you can find one as gorgeous as the Marni below you're set for the year.
