Charlotte Olympia Pandora Fall 2012

I am a HUGE fan of leopard print and have fallen head over heels for this gorgeous 'Pandora' clutch by Charlotte Olympia. Each season Charlotte Dellal does a new variation of this classic clutch by tweaking the clasp design and changing the design of the removable purse...this leopard print is my favourite to date as I love the sophisticated tones of the purse and the crystal studded spider clasp and as it come with a gold and black purse this bag can be teamed with anything you choose.

Wish List | Celine Fall /Winter 2012 Handbags

Oh dear, I dread seeing the new Fall/Winter collections, not because I don't like fashion (I wish I didn't sometimes, but I can't help the way I am made, hehehe) it's simply because I am more of a winter dresser than summer so there is always lots of fabulous new pieces for me to spend my money on. These three Celine bags are top of my 'Wish List' although I think buying two of the Cabas bags in one season is a little naughty, If I had to buy one the shearling bag at the top would win hands down.

Blue Hues

I am loving all the shades of blue we are seeing on the streets at the moment, every shade from royal to navy, turquoise to Sapphire, denim to indigo have been seen on bags, shoes, jackets and nails. My favourite way to wear is with a pop of this fabulous hue on a simple clutch bag a la Celine.

Chanel Boy Bag

Chanel launches the new Boy Bag Collection this fall 2011.The Boy Chanel is produced in three sizes and it`s available in black, ivory,  red, grey and lead green, my favourite being the grey. Price range is between $2500 – $4300 and they will land in Chanel Boutiques in September, so get your name on the waiting list NOW!!!

“Karl Lagerfeld suggests this with a new interpretation of boyish charm saying, “Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel.”
