FOR THE LOVE OF PURSES // fashion, accessories

 

WHO LOVES PURSES??  HANDS UP

I for one love  purses,  most are simple inexpensive bags.  A mix of leather or fabrics. Everyday bags to evening bags.  A few are my favourites , but it is always nice to have a change.

I can recall my mom was a purse fein .. she had a Chanel bag that my sis received, I was to young to appreciate the value of a Chanel then (plus I thought they looked for the older person) . Now they are worth more.  ;My choice of bag back then would be a Gucci.  

So now designer handbags are the thing to have. There have been so many iconic bags, the Hermes Birkin or Kelly bag. The amazing designs of Alexander McQueen ,  Leiber bags are so unique like pieces of art.   The bags are like works of art and are  collectibles  some are like the famous Faberge Egg.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui
