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.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
