Designer Luxe; Laptop Bags

Designer Luxe:
Laptop Bags

Good news everyone! Tomorrow is the first day of Couture Fashion Week AND I'm finally fixing my laptop situation and getting a MacBook next week. Happy days! I'll be blogging about some of the couture shows throughout the week, but for now, I thought I would do a little post on some of the designer case options on the market at the minute. Everyone has a laptop, so I thought it would be a good one for most people. Plus I just love accessorising and need to get something for my new Mac. I already have a Ted Baker case for my iPad, so the laptop has to look equally as stylish. 
Standard really, no?


The cases shown above are available from the Apple store, Farfetch, Macy's and Bloomingdales; so obviously it might depend on where you live for each product to be available to you, but I'm trying to accomodate my lovely readers from all over the globe. If I could provide products for everyone, believe me, I would. Anyway, prices range from as little as £36 to a whopping £665 (Jil Sander satchel, lower right corner) so there is something for everyones budget. 

Although I like each case that I've put into the collage, I am particularly fond of the black Michael Kors shopper (bottom left corner) and the neon pink Marc Jacobs case (do I really have to point that bad boy out to you?). I think I might be verging on forking out the £250 for the MK one, but if not, I reckon the £36 MJ one will do me just fine. 

Would you pay £665 for a designer laptop bag though? That's what I want to know. I suppose you could look at it in the sense that you're getting a designer bag - albeit smaller and designed specifically for a laptop - for less. I use my Ted Baker iPad case as a clutch every now and then, so why not?

Summer Wedding

Summer Wedding:
What The @#!* Do I Wear?

As I was clearing out some magazines, books etc from my old room at home, I came across some wedding magazines from when I was engaged in my last relationship. You can imagine how thrilled I was to find those. But it did get me thinking of a potential blog post, so I can't complain too much, now can I? 

I may know that I never want to get married, but that doesn't mean that I won't want to attend a few over the next few years. So then I thought, what would I even wear to one actually? The only time I've been to a wedding, I was part of the bridal party so I didn't exactly have a say in anything that I wore that day. If I were just a regular guest though, I think I would wear something along these lines..


Now, considering the fact these these items cost between £100 - £1000+ each, I think it's safe to say that they're wish list items and not exactly something that I could readily go out and buy if I were attending a wedding any time soon. Not with my current student status anyway! I suppose I could always find a high street alternative.

Whenever people think of wedding outfits, they automatically think 'dress'. It's effortless, so I can see why you would go for it. That being said, I quite like the idea of a skirt and top combo. Each of the tops that I've chosen would be tucked into the high waisted skirts with a belt to add a more defined waist and little extra decoration.  

In terms of other accessories, I don't think I really have to point out that I was feeling something luminous, whether it be the shoe or clutch bag, but I think it's just a lot more summery and eye catching.  It also makes the outfit look more youthful as well. I really wish I had a wedding to go to now!

NYLON; Treats Under $50

NYLON;
Shop The Under $50

Summer is my second favourite time of year, but it also means that I have a lot more time to socialise and make the most of being away from uni. Unfortunately, this also means that I neglect Vita di Moda because I don't want to be sitting on a laptop all day whilst the sun is shining. Plus my own laptop is broken, so I'm having to borrow my sisters MacBook for the time being. 

Wow. Even I'm struggling to find a valid excuse in that paragraph. I'm just being lazy. Full stop. Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things, now that the new man in my life keeps telling me to write a blog post every two seconds. He'll keep me in check with any luck. Anyway, here's a short post featuring some new products over at NYLON that I currently have my eye on - all of which are under $50 each!



Nylon hasn't really been a magazine that I've had an interest in reading before, but recently I've found myself having a little nosey on their Twitter feed and as you can see above, their online store. 

I'm quite into slogan tshirts etc at the minute, so when I saw these on the shop page, I knew I had to make a quick post about them. I can't decide if I like the "Lets Get Weird" tee, or the pink jumper with Mean Girls "On Wednesday's, We Wear Pink" quote. If you're as much of a Mean Girls fan as I am, then you'll understand my need for that jumper. It's just brilliant. Even the little popsicle earrings are cute. I just want everything. Sorry bank balance, but it's gonna be a rough ride.
