Coveted Team Daily Wear - Aelrid

This is me going for a walk to a  little bridge near me that is like something out of fairytale. I was freezing so decided to wrap up, these boots were second hand but are the best thing I have ever bought. I hate having wet feet and with these on it never EVER happens.

I very rarely go out without something that is either second hand, my mums or my boyfriends. I believe in recycling and borrowing clothes. It makes an outfit far more interesting.

20% Discount Code for Kennedy Purple Designer Handbag Hire

Joanne at Kennedy Purple has very kindly given readers of The Coveted Mag a whopping 20% discount off everything on the site until the end of March! The code is COVETED20 so get those Valentines orders in now!

I am still deciding which bag to hire first. When the decision is made, I will let you know, with photos of the bag in action to follow! Eek!

Don't buy it, Hire it!

It seems that every week, there is a different IT bag hanging off the arms of the usual suspects, Nicole, Paris, Fearne, Daisy et al. For the ordinary person who doesn't have a telly presenter's income, sex tape royalties or a parental rock star inheritance, it can be so frustrating, especially when faced with the far inferior High Street rip offs. If one was to save up for that bag, no sooner than it is bought and paid for, it is deemed passe and out of date. Joanne Halley, founder of Kennedy Purple has come up with a great solution. Hire the bag of your dreams for a week at a time for a fraction of the cost price. Bags can be hired for as little as £15 per week!

Personally we think that Handbag Hire vouchers make AMAZING presents! Start dropping hints in time for St Valentines Day! Vouchers can be purchased by contacting info@kennedypurple.com

We had a little looky through her extensive catalogue and picked the best:

Mulberry Bayswater. As seen on Fearne Cotton, Mishca Barton. Cost per week: £30

Chloe Paddington. As seen on Kate Moss, Katie Holmes. Cost per week: £35.

Classic Chanel Tote. As seen on Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively. Cost per week: £50

Henrietta Ludgate S/S 10

Winner of the Fashion Innovation Award at London Fashion Week for her S/S 10 collection Henrietta Ludgate supports the Scottish and British textile industry by using materials like Scottish Linen, and by producing all her pieces within the UK. Like The Coveted Mag's third issue, she embraced a ballet theme for her look book. Not too sure about the rotting corpses  sculptures though!
