Noona has never heard about bag designer named Anya Hindmarch until Jessica become the model for the brand. Anya Hindmarch is a British bag designer and she has founded her business back in 1987 in London. After that, the brand has grown into a global brand that has over 40 stores, including flagships in New York, London and Tokyo. The bags are also stocked in many of the world's best retail stores, from Barney's in New York to BoonTheShop in Korea.

The design for the bags is quite special and different from the other bags. You can portray your own creativity on the bags by accessorizing the bag with stickers of your choice. The stickers are also designed by Anya herself. The idea is to let the customers "having their name on something, rather than Anya's".

A plain small Bathurst satchel from Anya Hindmarch costs USD1,595 at her online store. If you'd like to emboss the bag with stickers, you need to wait for the embossing for a few days before delivery.

There are so many stickers to choose from and most of them are so fun to emboss onto the bag. For instance, there is this Mickey's Victory Leather Sticker which costs USD75 on the online store.

Or if you want to make statements with your bag, you can opt for the words leather sticker. How about some PHWOAR!!! It sure gonna adds more fun on your bag. The PHWOAR!!! leather sticker costs USD70.

If you don't feel like decorating your own bag and just want to buy the pre-decorated one. You can select those pre-embossed bags at Anya Hindmarch's online store. The pre-embossed bags costs more expensive though because of the quantity of stickers embossed on them. The All-Over Stickers Small Bathurst Satchel costs USD2,350.

Personally, Noona thinks that the fun comes when you are choosing your own stickers to make the bag looks more personalised. And also, your bag will be one of its own because no one else will have the same design as you.

It seems that Jessica's career in the fashion industry is going well. Noona often sees her picture and paparazzi shots going from one fashion show to another. In addition, Jessica is also heavily active in the magazine photoshoot. Just like the one she took back in July 2015 for Dazed Korea magazine. Jessica is seen sporting a shoulder suspender leopard print top from pushBUTTON ($433) and Cheap Monday Ease Summer Pink Denim Shorts (already sold out *cry*). Noona knows that the price of the top alone can already create a hole in our bank account. But Noona has found some alternatives which allow us to copy Jessica's style in Dazed Korea magazine for less than 100 bucks. Let's jump!

It is very difficult to find an exact replica of the top that Jessica is wearing above. But the real one costs a bomb, like twice Noona's return flight ticket from Singapore to Jakarta (okay, not an ideal comparison but you get the idea). The nearest alternative that Noona can find is Miriam silk animal print top from Parker at the price of USD 35. But the sleeve for this Parker's top is kinda not suitable if you have big or chubby shoulder like Noona.

The second alternative that Noona find for Jessica's top is actually a combination between leopard print and mesh. The sleeves are actually mesh and hence it only shows a silhouette of our shoulder. This style will be more suitable for us who are not born with slim shoulder. The leopard print mesh panel top from Daniel Rainn costs USD 40.

Meanwhile, it is easier to find the alternative for the denim shorts. So no worry even though the real one from Cheap Monday is already sold out. For instance, this high waist denim shorts from Bellfield can just do the work. It costs USD 32.

Talking about Jessica, have you watched a lifestyle TV show titled Jessica & Krystal? The sisters are so talented and fashionable, it makes Noona hooked to the show. If you are looking for some fashion inspiration, you can watch the show and learn from the Jung sisters.
