The Padlock Gucci Signature Shoulder bag

Let's be honest, this will probably be my next designer handbag purchase. Ever since I tried it on in the store a year and a half ago, I still can't get it outta my head.

Here's to a new year, new decade, new bag, new me.

The Reveller Hip saddle bag by Mimco was a christmas present to myself! I love the gold clasp detail at the front sooooooo much.

I'm not a huge fan of poms in general but that last picture always makes me smile :)

The round bags were a real stand-out for me!!!

This first picture of Shala Monroque makes me so happy. She looks so happy with herself, with what she's wearing and where she's going.

My Chloé bag is here finally! It's actually much more of a muted orange rather than the bright orange I was expecting. I love it! It doesn't hold much though so it does force me to prioritize what I carry around. Here's a quick snap of what I wore today with it: Tommy Hilfiger coat, this 8seconds sweater, mum's scarf and American Eagle jeans.

I know I was toying with the idea of buying the Chloé 'Marcie' mini shoulder bag for a while. Tote or satchel? Tote or satchel? Choosing the colour was going to be the next hardest task considering I'm so indecisive when presented with too many pretty shades to pick from (this happens to me at the gelato stand too). It won't seem real enough until I receive it in my hands, so for now let's just say...

I may or may not have gotten it.

Sometimes there is nothing better in life than enjoying the simple stuff. Pulling weeds from the garden, wearing a childhood print and ploughing through a bowl of cold vanilla icecream w/ lychees.

Totally enamoured with this baby pink furry clutch. I know I've seen it on the runways somewhere but I've forgotten the label. Does anyone know who it's by?

I've been trying to narrow down which kind of handbag I want to get myself at the end of this year. It's going to be a save n' splurge purchase so I really want to get something fairly classic, durable and functional. I was tossing up between different versions of suede Marcie shoulder bags by Chloe but recently the satchel has peaked my interest a little bit more than the tote. The question is, would a satchel be too casual?

Overloading on sequins can be a tad kitschy truth be told, however, I'd like to think tiny glittery pieces in the form of a clutch is a little bit better and (hopefully) exceptionally tasteful.

I want.

Dare I say, we're saving the best for last?! Here are a few of the all-white looks which caught my eye coming down the runway. I'll be posting more of the collection for sure.

I've finally finished watching all six seasons of SATC and I know I'm really late on the train for this but I'm officially OBSESSED with the Fendi Baguette bag. This is going to be one seriously expensive obsession. I had no idea that there were so many designs originating from good old 1997. Don't get me started on the mini-baguette versions...
