Shopping for bags at LYDC

Online Shopping can be so stressfull when you don´t have some stores you are shure that everytime you step in you find something you actually like to purchase. In fact it´s like in real life. Once you´ve figured out your style and how to get it there are a handfull of shops that you always go first to. I prefere H&M, Mango, Vero Moda and others like them on the Mainroad. And it´s the same online. I love shopping bags at LYDC (http://www.lydc.co.uk). Always cute with an edge and so versatile. My latest favorite is this one

I need big bags for my daily life. Where else should i put my purse, timer (i like the paper version in case my phone is lost, decharged or just refuses to work properly), tissues, cream, lip balm, umbrella and a bottle of water. This "Rutherford Bag" by Anna Smith in Beige and Black is therefor perfect.
Or should i try this one? I´ve seen these in different shapes this autumn and there so practical:
"PU Leather Look Shopper" by DSUK in black. For 31 pounds is it yours ;)

miss ivory doll

miss ivory von bonnet1875, gold rings enthaltend

My autumn doll to start this season. I so love the dress by Zuhair Murad. This green dress reminded me of art deco artwork and the beautifull backround with the lilac flower is a nice complementary element for this autumn set. When i do a doll set, i always start with the dress and then search for a fitting head and torso. Once this is done, it´s time to think of a fitting backround that underlines the nature of the dress. Work done!

take action

This is from the "take action" section of the beautifull about face page (http://www.about-face.org) It´s about taking action against harmfull body-images by media & companies.

Educate yourself and raise your awareness about media that degrades or insults girls/women, and WHY it’s a problem.
WRITE an e-mail, letter, or sign a petition to companies that degrade/insult women and tell them you refuse to buy their product until they change their advertising. (Every time you sign one of our petitions, it sends an email to the company!)
DO NOT buy products that are advertised in a harmful way to women, girls, or society on the whole (even if you like the product!): That’s what our wallet card is for — to help you remember which products/companies to support or not support. DO buy products that are advertised in a positive way for women, girls, and society, if you have disposable income.

Then, GET your friends and family in on the plan, and change the media environment for yourself and others.
If you are suffering from negative body image or feelings of depression or low self-esteem, you also need to take some personal action:

Talk to a trusted adult and ask them to help you connect with a professional counselor or therapist if you are deeply troubled or constantly feel bad about yourself.
Practice looking at yourself in the mirror and finding 5 things you like, and not saying/thinking about what you don’t like.
Repeat each of the positive attributes 5 times to yourself, out loud.
Try to begin exercising and eating moderately and regularly if you aren’t already. Dieting is NOT a method for helping yourself have higher self-esteem, regardless of what the weight-loss industry wants you to think.
