Lulu Guinness for Red Nose Day 2015

I love Lulu Guinness and when I heard she was designing a set of 3 limited edition tote bags for Red Nose day I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one.

Available from Sainsburys, over the last few years it has been a great way to get a designer print bag and donate to a great charity at the same time.  Lulu designed the set in 2013, and Giles Deacon designed them for Sports Relief  last year as seen below. Did you get one?  They sold out very quickly…

This year the three bags really sum up the Lulu Guinness look -

I went for the striped kisses version – I do love a cute lip print!  The bags are a great size, well made with an interior pocket and hard base.  Perfect for heavier items if you were food shopping or just as a throwover your shoulder fashion tote bag. 





The bags cost £5 from Sainburys stores with at least £1.50 of that going to Comic Relief.  A great bag and a donation to charity.  Seems like a no-brainer to me!

Pop instore and grab yours now!  They are already selling on eBay for lots more!!!

Red Nose Day is on Friday 15th March.  Find more information on how you can participate here.



Matalan Alphabet Charity Scarf

Its great when a charity item is also a desirable item. Matalan’s Alphabet scarf for Alder Hey Childrens hospital is just that. Priced at £10 for adults and £5 for a kid version all the profits go to the charity. Loads of celebs are wearing them too which is brilliant. I fell in love with mine when I saw an Instagram of Sarah Jessica Parker wearing my design.

I picked the pink and grey version for something a bit different and its a lovely long soft scarf with an appliqué felt initial.

Since having my son, the idea of any child ill and in hospital, especially at Christmas just kills me and hospitals such as Alder Hey in Liverpool do an amazing job. I am more than happy to donate money to them and in a small way help a family in a terrible situation.

And here I am all alphabeted up!!!
