fancy a cup o' tea?

since today you can't really escape the royal wedding fever you might as well just sit back, relax and enjoy the fashion parade.

talking about color blocking

I was listening to this album remembering poly styrene and, looking at the artwork on the cover, I began wondering that... "punk color blocking" rocked back in 1978!

come to mamma!

since my current cravings seem to include colour blocking & clutches here is a little sweetie that would brighten up my day.

random thoughts about an extended weekend

finally I had some time to catch up with...

reading and...

family and friends and...

music and...

my old shorts, soft colours,  polaroids and...

 

tradition.

today's wish

the child in me is craving for this book:

This Little Piggy Went to Prada: Nursery Rhymes for the Blahnik Brigade available @ amazon 

wouldn't it be perfect on my coffee table?

addicted as I am, I was so happy to have won this lovely clutch! Thanks’ Cátia!

and I also loved the bonus: body shop’s moringa body butter. It has a subtle floral fragrance which is perfect for summer!

have yourself a weekend filled with flowers!

big question mark

by now you all know that I’m a clutchaholic so you can imagine it was hard for me to resist to this (mini?) (micro?)... ok… mini micro zara clutch.

so:

1. the blue details match perfectly with my blue shoes (ok, I know Mr. Ortega knows all the tricks in the business)

2. the bright yellow is gorgeous and cheerful and summerish

3. I could go on and on with this forever…

there’s one (mini?) (micro?) (mini micro?) problem though… I guess it’s just too small.

sure you are supposed to carry only a small amount of items in a clutch. sure a clutch is supposed to merely have enough room for the bare essentials.

but:

1. this clutch is just slightly larger than my wallet (maybe the problem is the wallet… to big?)

2. my mum says I would look like a (rather stylish) old lady running errands with a wallet under my arm (a series of images run through my mind… not pretty)

3. how boring would be a "what's in my bag?" post? (some cash, a credit card, and my cell phone…pfff)

so it’s up to you girls: keep it? leave it?

note: the “keep it team” already as one vote from Margarida.

have yourself a colourful weekend!
