Magazine clippings

I love a cross body bag and my favourite is the Ally Capellino below, a close second would be the Alexa from Mulberry, but the surprise above left is the tan satchel from Hobbs, a shop I hate but maybe I should go and check out the bags sadly not this year as the final holiday payment beckons closely followed by some dental work. But are they not all most covetable?

Grazia as if to rub salt in the wound has identified further celebs all wearing my ache to own trousers. Please please Zara make some for my chunky monkey frame..


I blew the price of these trousers in Ikea this weekend I could have wept, seriously it was so galling on every bloody level. I hate buying new furniture, I like furniture to tell a story, have a history, I go to considerable lengths to make sure it does but for some reason I was taken by surprise when Daisy moved into the spare room. I guess I never thought we would be free of au-pairs and so did not have a plan for when they stopped coming.
So out went a vile chest of draws in came a bloody "HOW MUCH" desk from Ikea. My aim was to buy a cheap trestle table, but none would fit the space, so in the end I bit the bullet and because I had driven especially and so was standing in the shop I was forced to spend a fortune on a pine desk. She loves it I hate it. I then had to buy a lamp, a lamp shade and duvet cover. Boom there goes my trousers.
Roll on Chelsea....

The whole Ikea experience always makes me unhappy, but I have to admit that there are times when their design, convenience, and price points make them seem unavoidable.
I love all these bags AND the pants, but I'm having to pay attention to the bank account as well. . .

I am loving that Chloe bag. It is on my wish list.

The bags are nice, and I'm hearing you on the furniture. I prefer to take my time and select pieces that resonate. But I need to furnish a room and I need to do it quickly and cheaply so Ikea or something similar seems to be in the works.

Vintage are genuine in quality. I Love all the bags.
