Oh boy that's an expensive bag!

I have been doing a lot of research on handbags and social media as my post on the Wolfstar blog details. Whilst wading through the bountiful amounts of information in my Feed Demon, I came across this bag on a number of different blogs.

What makes this bag special you may be wondering…? Well it’s the price tag that has gotten everyone up in arms. This little baby costs a whopping £13,000. The bag is designed by Burberry and is made from alligator skin. So is it worth it? Well have to let the true fashionistas decided this one because me, I’m happy with my £8 bag I got from Primani.

Buy clothes, save the world

For those of you who are slaves to fashion but want to feel as good as you look I recommend People Tree for ethical fashion that steers clear of tie-dye tees and sack-shaped garments. The collections all meet Fair Trade standards and the designs are pretty fabulous too with cute dresses and jersey classics as well as a yoga range. And their January sale in now on. I love any excuse to shop but I feel that helping to save the world is the best one I have come up with. People Tree's aim is to use fashion as a tool to help the world's most marginalised people. Feel the halo slowly developing. You can purchase online or take a trip to Topshop’s flagship store on Oxford Street to buy items from the collection. Founder of the company Safia Minney also has her own blog on the site.

Eight things you don’t know about me

Stuart Bruce has tagged me with the ‘Eight things you don’t know about me’ meme that is currently floating around, so here’s mine:

1. I am a European and five times National champion Cheerleader. I am a competitive cheerleader for the Leeds Celtics, my University team which I am still a member of and train for four times a week (and no we don’t use pom poms).

2. I have appeared on ITV’s television show ‘Britain’s got Talent’ where I performed in front of Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan.

3. I am 5ft 11 inches tall, which I feel is rather tall for a girl, which makes me around 6ft 2 if wearing heels. Men in bars and clubs seem to have the need to point out to me that I am tall, as if I had somehow been aware of this fact.

4. I graduated from Leeds University in July 2007 and this is my first full time job.

5. I have performed in front of the 2012 Olympic committee in a conference room in a London hotel. We were so close to the audience that we nearly hit them during stunts.

6. I have made TV duo Ant & Dec do some cheerleading stunts with me, which took some persuading but was hilarious to watch.

7. I watched Titanic six times at the cinema when it was released and cried every time. (I was only 11 at the time though, so it is not as bad as it sounds).

8. I would love to live in New York City at some point in my life and strut along the sidewalks like Carrie Bradshaw. My friend is currently working there for a year and her stories have been making me extremely jealous (including ones about a Krispie Kreme party!)

Here are the people I have decided to tag as I enjoy their blogs Heather at Go fug yourself, Zara Rabinowicz, Sebastian Mysko, Arianna Huffington, Graham Hill
