omg LOOK at these shoes

[nailpolish]

LOOK

they're yucky

and i saw and touched this bag this morning

it is beautufl and the perfect size

lovely

I like the front, but not the back

LOL - you can buy a pot of jewels for a tenner and get the glue gun out!

I don't get bags at all - I just can't see what makes a fab bag fab, and a naff one naff.

Those sandals are a bit odd though, pastel and middle-aged at the front and teenage bling at the back.

i love the bag though

i never siad i liked the shoes

they are OTT i think

the bag is grogeous when you see it in RL

bran i will re-educate about bags .

not sure about suede panels on that one naily...

lovely bag, not keen on the shoes

WHY did I just click on that link? Will now be dream shopping on net a porter for ages (bang goes Saturday night)

Reminds me of when I was a kid and used to drool over my gran's Kays and Freemans catalogues

I fall in and out of love with bags periodically but am still on an eternal quest for the perfect bag.

That one would be too small for me and I don't like all the fussy zips on the outside but it does look soft and lush (the leather and suede).

the suede bit s are v subtle

the matt gold bits are so stylish

i spoke ot the salesgirl for about a half hr just about this bag today

the shoes are gorgeous-i may have to have them

i really wantt he bag

I think re-education might be a bit of a Herculean task HC. I do need a new handbag though, at the moment I have one of those nylon Radly 'mum' bags and it's looking a bit tatty.

bran radley is so common )round here anyway)

yes it is rather big isnt it

turn it towards you when on your arm and its more discreet

I don't really buy by brand though np, I'm more focused on whether it will carry everything I need in an organised way and how resistant it is pickpockets. I generally go for the plainest one I can find. I really don't get the ones with all the straps and metal bits at all. I think they look like they were made with leftover bits of tack for horses.

I probably do need handbag education really. In fact I could do with being taken in hand generally.

when i buy a new bag dh immediately inspects the closures and as to whether they are resisant to pickpockets etc. hes so practical

you should have seen the chloe bags in harvey nichols this morning. i chatted to gloriously camp sales assistant for AGES this morning. i love it when they are as keen as you are. you dont feel daft getting emotional over a chloe bay..

I seemed to have slipped into a parallel universe where I'm the popular one that everyone wants to go shopping with. What an odd feeling.

lennygrrl, I used to work with an Italian who moved to London in the summer and sidled up to me one day to ask what date people in London would pack away their summer wardrobe and take out their winter wardrobe. He was shocked that people in the office were continuing to wear their summer clothes and just putting a coat on over the top.
