Colette Hayman leather tote $90 AUD from Colette stores

At the beginning of the year I was looking around for a new bag to use for Uni.  I needed something that could fit my laptop, iPad, text books and whatever else I would be needing to bring with me.  For a long time i was 100% set on getting the Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Tote from the Apple store (pictured below) because it was leather and big enough to fit everything.  I held off getting it for a while because it is so expensive for a bag (me not being all that into handbags) at $350 AUD and luckily I did because I came across the leather collection of Colette Hayman handbags.  They are real leather so probably the same quality as the Michael Kors bag and their design looks almost exactly the same.  Ive been using it at Uni for a while now and it has held up extremely well and it was really good value at $90 AUD.  

Michael Kors Jet Set Travel Tote $350 AUD from Apple stores

Rose gold watch from Diva $30 AUD

Everyone has been obsessing over Michael Kors and Marc Jacobs watches, especially in rose gold.  I really have been loving the look of oversized rose gold watches but I have never really been one to wear jewellery very often and especially watches.  I had thought about buying a Michael Kors or Marc Jacobs one for a while but I decided not to take the risk as I wasn't sure how often I would wear it.  On the Diva online store I came across their rose gold watch for $30 AUD and noticed it was almost identical to the Marc Jacobs watches I had been looking at.  I am so happy i decided not to spend the $250+ on a Marc Jacobs or Michael Kors watch because I really haven't been wearing my Diva watch very often.  But when I have decided to wear it, it looks really nice and just like a designer label watch.
