Lou's Views - Ted Baker Tablet/Ipad Mini Case

I have had my Nexus 7 (reasons why I love this and chose this over an iPad coming up later) for 2 years now but its only recently after a unfortunate scratch (boo hoo) that I purchased a case for it. I don't know about you guys but for me searching for a case was tedious, I couldn't find ANY that I truly loved and wanted. Luckily whilst looking on the Ted Baker website I found this treasure!!!

This was just meant to be :) I didn't even type it in the search engine I just randomly stumbled across it. This is me ALL over. I frigging love it. Its so cute and it fits my nexus in perfectly. The material is so nice to hold, its a smooth patent design and you can get these in pink, nude and black. I chose this deep royal blue because for one blue is my favourite colour, two it definitely to me looked the smartest and most stylish choice and three the blue gem on the gold bow just had me sold!!! The gem is almost topaz colour just a tad lighter ad it has Ted Baker written very discretely underneath which you can read through the clear stone.

 

If you have read some of my blogs you will know that I am loving gold and coppers at the moment so the gold detailing on this just had me even more. It also features a really cute gold zip. This case doesn't open like a book and lay flat it just zips round and opens like a pocket, easy to just slide your tablet in and out. There is also a small pocket inside where you could keep other small bits and bobs maybe your stylus if you use one, that kind of thing. I got this for a bargain because it was on sale when I bought it, I think I paid around £17 for it and I believe it was originally about £32. I am tempted to buy another colour just because I love it so much but I am fighting the urges because I'm cutting down on unnecessary purchases hmmmm (who needs two cases if only one tablet??)

 

 

Oh the packaging was bang on too....cute!

 



You Cant Beat A Good Purse

This is going to be short and sweet, but I had to write a post about my DKNY purse. Since I can remember I have always chosen to have DKNY Purses. Last year my purse was on its way out so I decided it was time for a new one.

 

 

 Even though my thoughts were immediately to scan for a new DKNY I decided instead to use a River Island voucher I had received as a gift. Now River Island is a favourite high street store of mine and I really enjoyed the purse I bought......unfortunately though it just didn't compare to my usual DKNY's. Before long it was already looking worn.

 

 

A new purse was needed. I looked no further than DKNY! Lucky for me this all fell around Christmas and my gorgeous boyfriend got me this treasure!!!!

 

 

I absolutely love it! The colour is very now and feminine and it suits my needs perfectly! There are 2 note sections (one perfect for receipts), 2 zip up coin compartments, an open pocket (I keep my prescriptions and shopping lists in there), and a whopping 10 card holder sections. And even with all this space its still a relatively compact purse!! I am not sure on the price as this was a gift from my boyfriend but I think it was £65, DKNY tend to be around the £50-£75 price range. Love it!! What do you think? Do you have any favourite purses??
