Undoubtedly the most "inspired" collection I've seen at Zara in a long time...
Who can blame them? so many options to choose from. Might as well splurge on one and save on the others...

Time for a designer bag tag game. ain't it? Sooooo......looking at the above, which bag do you see can you think of?

I'm really feeling the latest It-bag-in-the-making by US brand Coach.
Maybe it's me but the style kinda sorta feels borrowed loosely similar to something you would have seen before but with just the right price tag and little touch of cool.
Tote name: Borough....go figure...

In any event me likey very much ...and while we are at it, feels right to bring up my latest burgundy obsessions.


Ping, Pang, Plum

They say great things happen to those who can wait...
I say a new Celine trapeze in a tan colour is worth the wait ...
2 years, multiple conversations, on/off dreams & obsessions and...a little 20% price increase later, I've finally jumped the walk and bagged the bag.


Haven't named this new baby yet - but looking forward to see Lil C (temp name) acting all cutesy right next to Queen B and Princess Kate.

Any name suggestions welcome!

PS: No your eyes are not deceiving you, your girl has been keeping up with her winter resolutions to eat her heart out, resulting in what we should call seasonal chubby thighs for now, that is ..until they become permanent
PPS: wearing my high street besties - H&M jeans, Petit Bateau top, Zara heels and Longines watch.

Coucou all
