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.

So if you love to see some of these bags  there is a show in  London till September  of course depends on lockdowns. But if lucky  one can maybe see them.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

 Doing Denim  I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable.  For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short.  I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days.  Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it.  Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets.  There are so many ways to style a denim dress.  A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses  I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck. 

Favorite Things 2023//fashion , items

 Favorite things  I really didn’t go overboard with any purchases in 2023.  Trying to keep to the sustainable fashion idea  of shopping my closet or using what I have .  Mind you there were somethings I thought about getting like a new pair of sunglasses, some shoes  sandals, new purse , but I still need new sunglasses. My old pair has some scratches on them sadly.  The two pieces I did get I absolutely love . Firstly a linen blend blazer in cream shade. It goes with so many things so can’t wait to spring to wear it again.  Also the new wrap dress I bought in spring.  The color I loved , the fit and style is nice to wear for dinners out, parties or weddings. A very versatile piece.   The other item was from a previous year but I had forgotten about it  was a nice surprise. I wore it over Christmas holidays. and got compliments on it . A knit top with sparkle accents.  It was so comfortable and warm . Absolutely loved it.  ...
