Gucci Lifestyle Canvas Tote Bag

It seems that this A/W every designer seems to be loving the colour red! Valentino, Mulberry and now Gucci. For the upcoming season, the main colours are pink and berry, so why not incorporate the colour red as well?

Gucci bags are always a must have accessory but sometimes you just need to find a bag that is just plain and simple, so I found the lifestyle bags from Gucci are perfect for all occasions!
 
What I really love about this canvas tote is that the tote just isn't plain red, instead, it has the Gucci logo repeating itself all the way around the bag. I also love the brown trim around the bag as I think that the red and brown colour compliments each other lovely on this certain bag. The Gucci label is leather which is different to the normal metal labels that are normally used on any designer bag. Although the photo doesn't show the inside of the bag, the bag fastens with a zip which is great as I'm always wary that with an open bag, someone will try and steal something, however, with the zip fastening, it makes the bag ten times more appealing. 
The handle is perfect too, with a 17cm drop. Overall, lifestyle bags are all about a bag that can be used each day, wherever you're at and this is such a great lifestyle bag. The bag is priced at £530 on www.gucci.com which I think is very reasonable for a brand as big as Gucci.

Mulberry Goes Red For A/W 2013

One of my favourite designer brands is Mulberry, I am in love with nearly all of their bags but have recently taken a liking to their clothing, I must admit, their A/W collection is like a dream come true!

This outfit was definitely made to turn heads and attract attention from afar! The bold red reflects danger but also love at the same time which makes this outfit very daring but sweet as well. The red colour reminds me of the collection of Red Valentino which I love! The red handbag makes me think of Christmas and makes a big statement in the collection of handbags out there. The coat is similar to most high-street winter coats but is also majorly different in a variety of ways, the two side pockets add detail to the coat and so does the collar which makes the coat look young but mature. The straight red trousers are perfect for any occasion, from a meeting at work to a general shop, these trousers will make a huge statement and instead of turning people green with envy, they will most definitely turn them red!

Thinking of the weather that England normally receives during Autumn and Winter, this outfit will stand out from a mile away! Picture this outfit being worn against the bright white snow on a cold winter's day, the juxtaposition between the outfit and surrounding would be huge.

Red is also the stereotypical colour when thinking of Christmas and Father Christmas, which is why this outfit says 'Christmas' all over it! The colour will instantly put anyone in a cheery mood on a cold winter's day, with this outfit, the Christmas spirit will be higher than ever.
