The £12 Dupe to Zara's Bucket Bag

Ever since I laid eyes on Zara's leather bucket bag, I really really wanted it. Being a student, I definitely couldn't justify the £80 price tag, so when I saw this dupe floating around on the blogosphere, I had to get it!




This beauty cost me just £12, yes, £12, from Primark! It is amazing quality and also has a longer strap which is very handy. It also comes in black, which I can see myself buying in the near future! I think it is an amazing dupe for the Zara bag, and although it isn't real leather, it's £68 cheaper! I know which I'd rather... It is bigger than I thought it would be, making it perfect for lugging my text books and folders around college.



Have you been able to get your hands on this dupe?

My Villa Rosie Phone Case

Hi everyone, just a quick post to let you know about my gorgeous new phone case - I am over the moon with it! When Jo @Shopaholic Jo posted about hers, I bought one immediately after! It was from this ebay seller, and cost me just £8 including postage, which is amazing seeing as they are hand made to an exceptionally high quality. At present, villa-rosie offers a series of standard sizes, but she will also make you one of a custom size for no extra charge! I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with a protective case on, so I let her know that and she made me one which fits absolutely perfectly! I ordered it just five days ago, which is incredible. Here's the pattern I chose, which is by Cath Kidston and called Hampton Rose.



I purchased this case with my own money and I'm not being paid to rave about this case - I just love it so much that I had to spread the word! The attention to detail she puts in to the items is unbelievable. My case came with a tiny tag containing the brand logo, a business card and a note thanking me for my custom. It is so refreshing to have excelllent service from Ebay, as I normally have so many problems that I just don't use it! I would highly recommend villa-rosie to each and everyone of you - she can make custom phone cases for every phone, and even kindles/iPads!



Will you be checking out her store?
