Designer Inspired bags!

So Top trending Designer bags are the thing right now right?

but, if you're just like me , and have a wallet that wouldn't appreciate spending a lot for a bag, then this post is for you!

Firstly,  a Rebecca Minkoff inspired bag. 

for the longest time, I've wanted a rebecca minkoff mini mac, and honestly even though its NOT THAT pricey, i never got it upon myself to buy one.. especially after i felt the leather and wasn't super impressed...

One day i was walking in the cotton on store and i found the best looking inspired bag! ah and it was so cheap!

The chain is gunmetal on a black bag, so its lovely.

and the hardware feels nice and heavy, so the bag doesn't feel cheap at all ,its actually quite impressive considering i literally payed less than 20$ for it!

It even has the leather with studs strap like the real mini mac

and the little tassels are also such a cute addition to make it as similar as possible

it has a zipper on the inside

It has 3 pockets, the main compartment, the button flap and the bottom zip that actually does fit stuff!

the bag I've realised literally fits exactly what the mini mac fits (I've tried fitting most of what the "whats in my bag " stuff I've read related to this one)

honestly i love it! 

This next bag is more of a celiné inspired bag

Damn . is all i can say. i love love love love this!

the bag , is so perfect to being "inspired"

its made to detail and the material feels so soft!

the bag isn't all that heavy either! and it fits my 13" MacBook Pro!

so thats a plus!

i find that it fits my daily college needs perfectly and it honestly can dress up an outfit so much!

the lining is bright pink, not the loveliest, but honestly , it doesn't bother me

the inside has 2 zip pockets and a flap in between, and on the other side, 2 compartments for your phone and iPod or whatever 

Honestly this bag , is AMAZING for the price!

i was so surprised when i got this in the mail ! and now me and mai have decided to order 2 more! 1 for her and 1 for my mum, as it comes in a lot of colours!

couldn't recommend this specific seller and bag anymore ! 

here's where i got it from : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121126202839?var=420148158660&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I now own two inspired designer bags, that don't say the designers name, and look just as great!

honestly though, you think everyone on the street is going to notice that the tiny "celiné" logo on the top centre of the bag isn't there?

highly doubt! So why not get to enjoy the trend for cheaper!

*sorry i couldn't find the RM inspired mini mac online :(

DIY : Clear Bag

Andddd finally ! Done the clear clutch! I think it's time I had joined the DIY clear pvc clutch wagon , and I finally did !

It took me so long only because the material was so hard to find ! Especially here ah! 

But thanks to Simone Heng on cheapnchic.net , I found out the exact store of where to buy the supplies. 

Anyways lets dive into the DIY

If you check out cheapnchic.net that's basically where I was inspired to make this and she has an amazing tutorial on it, but I wanted something slightly different , so I combine tutorials and made this :D

Materials : 

PVC

Scissors 

Magnet snaps 

A pen

Ruler

Hammer

Eyelets

For measurements I literally just folded up the pvc and used up what I wanted the bags size to be , I mainly used this as a frame

Then I folded the sheet the way I wanted the bag to look like and cut out the flap and the front, the part that is gonna be the back should have side flaps 

The reason I made this bag using one peace is so that it would be more sturdy

Anyways then I folded like this

And placed the eyelets using a hammer to secure them (there's instructions on the pack )

After that I attached the magnet snaps 

And finally add the chain! I literally just made a hole on the side 

And done !

Oh also cause I have so much PVC I made this cute tiny card holder :)
