Back to School bags with Case Luggage

It's only 2 weeks until I move to London now, and 3 weeks until I start my uni course. For an art or design uni course like mine, where I will be carrying lots of material, stationary and a laptop around, a good bag is a very important purchase.

I've been searching the Case Luggage website for some practical and fun bags to take to uni with me, here are some of my favs.

Now of course, before I show you my practical finds, I have to show you my absolutely favorite find. I think it's very apt for this post, as it is London themed:

This childrens London Bus case is by Cuties comes with stickers so you can personalise it yourself. As you can probably tell, I've never really grown out of personalising things, so I think this is perfect.

My actual practical finds look just as awesome and fun! They're by Kipling. I chose the Dallin Wheeled School Bag (right) and the Poona School bag (right). I first noticed these bags for their awesome prints, but it turns out they're really well designed too. The Dallin comes in 3 different prints, has wheels and built in laptop protection. It can also be carried on your back, so it's multi functional and very practical. The Poona is a little smaller and comes in a fun monkey print.

 I also really liked this Umbrella with a matching zip pouch by Knirps and this Converse Backpack.

What are your "back to school" essentials?

Advertise on PonyChops in September

I can't believe it's almost September already! Summer seems to be flying by far too quickly for my liking. August has been a fantastic month for PonyChops, and I hope September will be just as successful. I have some tutorial and DIY plans for late September/early October. I'm also going to be documenting my move to London and start of my Shoe Design course at London College of Fashion.

Sponsor PonyChops in July

As I'm heading off to uni in London soon, and time seems to be slipping away shockingly fast, I figured I need to try and get as much work as possible over the next couple of months!

So, I decided I'd offer a free custom digital portrait when you buy 6 months worth of Supersize Ads. I'm also offering an extra 2 months free when you purchase 6 months of Medium Ads.

The digital portrait offer is for this listing in my shop. It's an extra £7 if you want your pet included.

I'm trialing this offer for the next month, if it does well I may keep it on a little longer :)

Sponsor PonyChops in June!

Since last month I've changed my adverts a little. You now get a way bigger advert at no extra cost!

Don't already have an ad button? I can make you one free of charge with any ad purchase. Email me at ponychopsshop@gmail.com

The New Design is here!!

Phew, it's done! I finally installed the big ass new blog design! There's tons more room for my wonderful sponsors, and loads more room for me to post pictures too. Yay!

This blog design has been a learning experience for sure! I was originally going to pay someone to do it for me. But the thrifter and the creative in me won out and I decided to have a go at doing my own. The fun part has been drawing out my new buttons/logos and picking out the colours! I hand drew the new shoe logo and edited it in illustrator/photoshop. The hard part has been getting to grips with the html/css side of things. I feel like I've learned a whole lot this past two weeks! And I'm so excited to get started on building my own website and making over my Etsy/Facebook/Twitter pages.

My Etsy shop will reopen on Friday with a whole new look too! But for now I'm going to watch some Dexter and let my brain recover from all of the learning and thinking it's had to do.

Please have a look around! I've changed my About me, Sponsor & Contact me pages too :)

A big thank you to all my sponsors for being so patient with me changing button sizes!

Meet Dayna from Mothspit

When I stumbled up the Mothspit blog a few months ago, I immediately fell in love with Dayna's beautiful bright blue hair. It didn't take me long, however, to realise Mothspit isn't just about beautiful hair.

This blog is one of my favorite blogs for inspiration. Dayna is very creative, she's an artist that also makes beautiful fashion accessories from silk, so it's no wonder that her blog is full of visual treats.
