I advise you all to take a very good look on this website. Although the collection is limited, the pieces are adorable! And also pleasantly surprising prices.
Major enjoying the cream collared dress, that's definitely in my shopping trolley!

If I ever get enough money, I'll buy one and take a photo and do an outfit post, I want to do those I think, it'll be fun to show you how I style things and let you voice your opinions. :)
In the meantime though.... DROOOOOOOLLLLLL :)

Rawwr.

Ok, So. Recently, I've had the biggest obsession with leopard print.
My friends absolutely hate me for it but for some strange reason, I have the hugest love for it at the moment.

I'm aware that it can scream 'skanky-ho' and if worn incorrectly can make passers by recoil in horror at the tackiness of it, but I also think it can look incredibly classy.



If i'm absolutely brutally honest, I only really like Alexa's. As much as I love Angelina and the Olsen twins. I think Alexa pulls it off way more, The way it hangs on her small frame without giving the appearance of smothering her, to me, gives it the edge, whereas with Mary-Kate it does just that. Angelina's in my opinion would most definitely suit those with a more hour glass figure with a tie belt nipping in at the waist to really show off those curves.



I also absolutely adore Mischa's here, the cool blue sets off the pattern and low key accessories allow the print to do all the talking. I'm pretty sure they had one similar in Topshop which I may have a browse for....Lily again allows the print of her cardi to speak for itself by teaming it with an LBD to give a classy yet relaxed look and she totally rocks it!
And how do we even begin to describe Dita's weapon of choice, Pussy bow blouse and Figure hugging pencil skirt, The woman really does just ooze class.

Am I crazy here? is it really just me who adores leopard print? Someone tell me I'm not a freak and I'm not trying to recreate something that only celebrities can really, pull off.....

please?

First Followers and Friends!

I HAVE FOLLOWERS! 

You really have no idea how happy I was to see you 2 wonderful people following Ellébeeso much so I decided to give you your very own mention! Thankyou Thankyou!! Alyse&Gina and Martha! You guys are my new favourite people!

This morning I've been watching 'Friends' on T4. It was the first and second ever episodes, I love that how ever many times we've seen them, they really do never get old. Anyway, whilst watching the scene by which Rachel gives Barry back her engagement ring, I noticed her wonderful bag. Excuse the awful quality I had to search for the video online and print screen. Plus Friends is done in the 90's and lets face it, it was never going to be photographical clarity back then was it?

I love the simplicity of it; The tan leather and the construction of the bag. I hadn't taken a particular warming to the 'satchel' bag, I felt it was much to 'back to boarding school' and certainly not something I'd wear myself. But since spotting this, I had a look around online and came across these beauties.

























Are they not adorable? I particularly love the number 7. I'm very much considering buying it. The crocodile detailing is so different but so elegant. I absolutely love the leather carving on 4 and 6, the detail in it makes me swoon. Although I was primarily looking for tan satchels, I thought you may enjoy seeing different variations, I love the floral on 8 and I'm not actually sure about the leopard print on 2 but I again, thought you'd enjoy the different variations of the satchel.

For prices and places contact me via Elle_Bee@hotmail.co.uk and I'll tell you where and how much you can purchase these wonderful bags.
Which are your favourites? Would you wear the leopard print? Would you even wear the satchel bag or is it too 'back to school' Let me know your thoughts :)

things to look forward to.

I'm still trying to decide what to include in ElléBee, I want it to be a range of different things, not JUST following fashion trends but also street style and what YOU wear. 
I'm definitely wanting to cover the whole 'curvy V's skinny debate', regardless of it being argued a thousand times, it's just such a wonderful thing to hear everyone's thoughts.
I'm also going to cover dressing to your shape and size, new designer collections and how they're being transferred onto the HighStreet.

I'm also considering making ElléBee cover more things than just fashion, Yes, I know it's a 'fashion blog' but what about things that inspire fashion, like music? festivals certainly influenced the summer's fashion this year, Film? for any of you that have seen Vivienne Westwood's A/W 2010 collection, it feels like i've stepped into the world of a geisha, All the silk and Kimonos remind you of Mulan? anyone?




No one's following ElléBee right now, But If you happen to come across it and have read this far, Please leave comments, Tell me what you'd like to see.
