Monogram Phone Cases || Wrap, pack and snap

I've been having loads of fun documenting behind the scenes on Snapchat lately (life before snapchat . . . not sure about that?!)

If you follow me on instagram you'll be aware that monogrammed accessories have become a large part of my e-boutique this past year. Personalised phone cases are extremely poplar so I thought I'd document the process behind what happens to your orders when they are ready to be sent out. Of course the whole process was documented on Snapchat too, so follow along for a day to day view of what goes on behind the scenes here at Rianna phillips HQ

Step 1. One beautiful batch of personalised cases ready to roll! As the weather has hotted up here in the UK the palm leaf prints have been the top seller.

Step 2. Each case gets placed in a durable cardboard mailer lined in tissue paper

Step 3. The customer invoice gets folded up & attached to a cute little Polaroid snap :-)

Step 3. The whole batch looking on point so far

Step 4. Each phone case is placed inside a shiny metallic envelope and sealed with a <3

Rianna Phillips X Emily Begley

One creative mind is great but two is even better!

I love when somebody comes along with a ton of fresh ideas and Manchester School of Art graduate Emily Begley did just that. She studied 'Textiles in Practice' and along with mastering knit and print design during her 3 years, she also has a fantastic eye for art direction. 

So what did she do when I handed over a stack of clutch bags? Headed to the beach of course! A few beautiful outcomes have been a result of this photoshoot but these edits with ripped up paper are dreamy enough to create the 'High Summer' lookbook all by themselves :-)

Flatlay || Daily Essentials

Flatlays are such a fun way to document the beauty products you're currently using, your most used accessories and also new items that are added to your daily essentials. 

I've finally got myself a pair of trainers, the hunt was on for a monochrome style and these Nikes are actually kids but I love them!

New to my day to day mix is the new style marble mini pouch bag (bottom left corner), it's my new Chanel compact holster and fits my fold up frends headphones in too :-) It's also the perfect match to the larger xl marble portfolio.

Northern Quarter X Personal Style

As soon as the new Kensington iKat clutch bag was completed it was instantly added to my wardrobe, in fact it didn't even get a chance to see the inside of my wardrobe. It was out and about straight away trotting around Manchester's Northern Quarter whilst I headed to meetings. It's constructed from shower proof cotton nylon, extremely useful as seconds after intern Emily snapped these pics the heavens opened.

I painted the blue washed iKat print in the studio, scanned it in and digitised the painting to become a really photographic and texturised print for clutch bags, phone cases and cushion covers. Inspired by boho-luxe vibes (seen here on my Urban Surfside pinterest board), carrying this clutch is like carrying a little slice of beachy art around the bustling streets of Manchester.

Inspiration || Dries Van Noten Spring 2016

Rich colours and textures, embellishments and prints. 

I saw this spring/summer collection by Dries Van Noten and simply thought 'get in my wardrobe at once!'. One other thing . . . . THE PINK PLATFORMS! They channel Barbie chic in a platform Spice Girl style! Get your hands on them here.

The sunshine has been, we've blinked and it's errrmm . . . gone!

But let's keep things summery with a few snippets of inspiration form the Urban Surfside collection pin board & pray that the sun returns asap!

Life's a beach || Abersoch

Beach, sea & sand :-)

There is no better recipe.

If you follow me on snapchat and instagram you will have seen that I've been spending loads of time in Abersoch recently and of course I couldn't resist taking several hundred photographs of the beautiful surroundings. 

All the clutch bags at www.riannaphillips.com are crafted from a waterproof cotton nylon which makes them the perfect beach companion. Since I set my little brand up the majority of customers who shop at the e-boutique are Australian, so it seemed completely essentials to make sure my accessories are ready to hit the beach! Being waterproof however also means that they are very British-proof too, it rains like 99% of the time here!
