This month's Take 10 challenge is a tapestry bowling bag from Matalan. Although not a piece I would immediately have chosen for myself, I was excited nonetheless to put together an outfit around it. This month we are welcoming Harriet to the group who is taking over from Jazmine. See above for how the rest of the girls styled the piece - Sherin (Hi-Fashion) ~ Ellie (Pretty Much Penniless) ~ Vicki (Magpie Girl) ~ Sarah (We Shop) ~ Harriet (Where's Harriet) ~ Sabine (Psynopsis) ~ Jen (A Little Bird) ~ MJ (Dreaming Spires) ~ Adele (Moltocuriosa).
An image of old-fashioned carpet bags came to mind, which I think the bag is quite similar to. And with that, an image of musty old books. What better place to stage a little shoot than the Lit & Phil in Newcastle upon Tyne as promised to you last week.

Not sure where to start by I love the shoot, your turban, your top and of course the bag. The picture of you putting lippie on made me chuckle (in a good way) and the library looks like such a dreamy place to escape from the busy city
I love this bag!! I saw it the other day and was going to buy it, wish I had now, love how the other girls have styled it too xx
hannah - i couldn't keep a straight face when we were trying to get the shot! it seems very apt as i do spend a great deal of my life putting on lipstick!
I love the bag, and the way you have style it. Each one of your photo a true piece of art, as ever.
I am going to have a good look at the rest of the bloggers.

these are so elegant, the turban looks so good on you. quite an unexpected item for sure. the bag seems a weird size to me so maybe that made it tricky?
narrr that isn't my room, bit girly don't you think? it's hollie's
These photos are just gorgeous! You work that turban so well, I think I'd just look ridiculous in it! And I love the setting, it all just fits perfectly. Plus you look beautiful... oh and I love the bag!
I am so in love with this post. The pictures, the setting, the turban, the bag... I wouldn't have choosen it either, but you (all) did a great job! x

That bag is so charming! I've been wanting a tapestry bag for spring, but I wear so much black that I don't know if it would be a real worthwhile purchase. I was thinking about this one but yours is precious! And the old books, everything is lovely.

..OH MY VOGUE!
You look so chic, Paula. The pics are stunning. Am still coveting that blouse. xx
STUNNING pictures !!
oh myyyy, these photos took my breath away. Love the turban on you and the bag is really lovely. I would have picked it up as well.

The bag wouldn't be my first choice, either, but you've done it exquisite honor with your dark, luxurious photos! Love the striking turban on you, and the peach, ivory, navy, and silvery black palette. My favorites are the lipstick and compact with the old book, and you using the compact and lipstick. I look forward to your next Take 10 ensemble!
How cool are your pictures? I especially love the one where we can see your bangs and eyes (the one that's cut off below). So pretty!

really like the way you styled it, I'm digging the vintage feel. I really like the bag I thrifted something really similar to it a couple years ago
I love the bag. I almost bought a similar one recently but I didn't. I wish I did though it is beautiful. I love the way you styled it and this project sounds so fun.
You look so beautiful in the turban! Lovely.
I loved the idea of the bag! Love the way each of you styled it!

I love this Take 10 idea - I currently do a 1 item 3 ways kind of post, but it's not as good as one item on 10 people! x
I love the pic of you putting on lippie... your fringe is amazing! (I have total fringe envy as I do not suit them... at all!)
I love how you've styled this shoot and that blouse with pleated collar is stunning x
I love your turban!
