Falling in Love with Fife

Accessorising with Mia Tui
Disclaimer: This post contains PR samples I absolutely love an accessory. Before I got ‘back into fashion’ I had a Vans backpack I used all the time and a little cross-body to hold my purse and keys in. I wasn’t too bothered about accessorising until my love for fashion reignited. Back in the day, before…
2018 Highlights
