Thank You Viv

I have a new bag - I was actually shopping for my Mum's present, which in all fairness I did get, but I couldn't stop myself from buying a Vivienne Westwood bag in Liberty's. It is much smaller than my YSL Muse or Luella handbag, so I thought that it was worth snapping up - my reasoning be that less space will create a more judicious decision making process about what goes inside. My normal bags weigh a ton and contain everything from makeup bag, hair brush and diary to an umbrella, gloves, sunnies, tupperware with homemade dips - it bascially gets a bit silly and I actually pull muscles every time I carry them.

I still love Zara most of all

Even with all the booze the night before I still managed to rock it in Zara. That is the sign of a good shop I think, when even a cracking headache can't stop the clothes from being a hit. I was rather pleased with my purchases - two pairs of summer shoes (flat, black patent with a perspex insert - sooo now, sooo Chanel, and blue sandals), three dresses and a white linen Isabella Rossellini shirt. Now all I need is the weather to change and allow for bare legs, exposes tootsies and perhaps a light tan.

Oh, and my dad, lovely man that he is, bought me a new watch. A J12! This is truly exciting, but I have to get it refitted and everytime I go into Chanel I just want more. Like the perspex bag - it's so naff it's great and I'd love the challenge of having a bag in which all the contents are perfectly edited for their beauty as well as functionality.
