Fatshion Faceoff - Red Bag

This weeks Fatshion Faceoff is a Red Bag. 

I only own one and I have used it for a previous post, but due to really not feeling up to taking pictures this week, I have borrowed my pictures from the old post and I have chosen a selection of my current favourite Red Bags.

I hope that is ok with my gorgeous readers.

So my red bag is this fabulous Irregular choice clutch that my sister bought for me.

It is still my go to bag to use with a little black dress as it just gives a gorgeous pop of colour.

First up is this gorgeous Bruge leather bag from Cutey.co.uk, I have no idea what the quality is like from cutey and the prices are fairly high, but this bad is just beautiful!

Next I love this Oasis bag which I found on the ASOS website, the colour and shape are great and I love that it has a decent length shoulder strap as well as the carry handles.

My final pick is this gorgeous little Fiorelli Bag which can be found at Simply Be, it is perfect for when I don't need to carry lots with me.

Head on over to the other gorgeous ladies and see their fabulous outfits and bags.

Fear of New Beginnings

As some of you may know, I have not worked in over 3 years, I chose to take time away from work to figure out what I actually wanted to do and take time to self study to be ready for degree level maths.

Another big part of the reason was my anxiety had gotten out of hand due to our awful living situation of three years ago, and when we moved my anxiety followed.

But it is all change in the Lilybobomb household today as it is my first day at work and I am a little bit terrified (I am writing this up last night).

I will be working in an incoming calls call centre which I have done before but it does involve some sales.

It is something I know I am perfectly capable of doing, it is just frightening after 3 years away to be returning to work.

but hopefully when I get home tonight I will have a positive post to write for you all.

What are your biggest fears and are you challenging yourself to face them in 2013?

Collection challenge

Recently the lovely Kathryn of MissKathryn's MissTakes asked us if we fancied joining her in the challenge to show our collections be it items from 1 brand, dresses, shoes, just a little insight into our personalities and what we obsess over!

I decided to join in and my first collection is just a small portion or my obsession, it is not fashion related and is something I have loved since I was about 3!

READING

For as long as I can remember I have loved reading, but when I hit secondary school I really became obsessed, I was put into the lowest english groups because I struggled with spelling and grammar, they couldn't work out how such a avid reader couldn't spell, sometimes even simple words, it wasn't until my GCSE's that my then english teacher asked if I was dyslexic, and I still didn't get any help till I went to college, but I digress, the first collection I am going to show you is my passion for horror books, this started when I was about 11 and fell in love with point horror books, I very quickly progressed to stealing my mums copies of Stephen King books she had in the house and my obsession began.

So many people bash King for not being intellectual enough and the books being simple, but do you know what screw people like that I read books that I love, not to make me look clever or cool in the eyes of friends and commuters.

King makes me happy!

I have many other authors I love not all horror either, including Dean Koontz, Jasper Fforde, Raymond E Feist, but I love buying books so my collection can get ridiculous, I don't often donate books as I read them over and over, but I do buy my paper backs from charity shops as I destroy them :)

Here is my King collection, I have read almost every book he has written and own nearly all of them too, a some are missing from here that I have lent out, and some are in storage boxes so the official collection is quite a bit bigger.

Excuse the Dodgy pink sofa :) it was given to us to replace our awful old uncomfortable ones!

I read my paperbacks so many times that by the time I am ready to replace them they are falling apart

the next 2 pictures show The Stand and IT which I am on 3rd or 4th copies of these ones have been read at least 6 times each now.

I call them well loved!

My biggest love of all his books are his Dark Tower series I waited years between books to finish the collection and squealed with joy when I found out his new book in this series will be release in April and that they are hoping to make a TV adaption and a film of it!

I have the comics and hard back graphic novel versions too!

Well that is one of my obsessions out in the open, my whole collection of books may have to be dragged out at some point! 

Quite a few other Gorgeous bloggers are joining in the fun and showing us some of their obsessions go take a look at these too!
