THE WANTED

If there's one thing you must know about me, it's that I LOVE Liberty's fabric. And if there's another thing you must know, it's that I LOVE satchels. Therefore, you can imagine my delight when I came across this baby on the French website Miniseri. It's a combination of everything I most want and I plan on laying my hands on one, NO MATTER WHAT.

XO, Cendrillon

Wish List

OK, I plead guilty: I know I did a lust-haves post only the other day, but thses are too good to keep to oneself:

May I warn you before we get started that most of these come from Zara. For this splendid crochet dress, look here

Kind of like those dreamy loubs... find them here

LOVE Liberty and LOVE tennis shoes.

Whoevever came up with this ingenious idea is truly gifted.

SO COMFY. And good for your feet.

Hermes Ads

As someone who relishes buying magazines every month, I am ashamed to say that I consider analysing ads as part of my reading them. Bad ads, bad mag. Out of all brands, I believe Hermes does it the best. Their glossy double-spreads give off both a sense of whimsical adventure and infinite glamour. Here are a few of my personal favourites:

Lust-Haves

Dear Readers, stitchers, sewers and crafters,

Just thought I might share what I have on my stitch list this season (i.e., what i plan on making for myself, with some rudimentary sewing skills and an age-old sewing machine. this normally implies me damaging the sewing machine somehow and breaking down in tears of frustration - not easy to deal with):

1. An oversize leather clutch. I've seen several around lately, and have fallen in love. I plan on making a simple 30x20 suede leather rectangle with a utilitiariam zip and a wrist loop. as for sourcing the leather, I already have a suitable suede skirt sourced in a charity shop. for those of you who aren't wild about getting down and dirty with a needle and thread, there is no need to look far: Bimba&Lola have some very beautiful specimens at very reasonable prices, which you can find here.

2.An enormous leather tote. This might be a little harder to source, so I might just have to turn to Zara for this one... just something you can bung things in for a weekend, a trip to the beach or a shopping trip. you know, the perfect bag for someone who has attachment issues with the contents of their make-up bags and such. Know what I mean?

3. A make-up bag. Anyone recognising a theme here? Yes, so the insightful amongst you will be deducing that I aspire to a life of organisation, or rather, that my orgonisational skills extend to grouping things by function and putting them in bags and boxes. Oh well. My current make-up bag is too small and looks like the kind of wash bag that a four-year-old might cherish... I would really like a leather one, a sort of irresistibly chic and yet indestructible one on a simple shape. For those not inclined towards getting friendly with a sewing machine, you can look here.

Tastes of Summer

Just thought I'd share this with you - I discovered an old roll of film from last summer in my desk and went to develop it today. When I got it back, this instantly made my mouth water:

Oops...

Right, so I was fooled on the MAC-Apple collaboration. Oh well... a shame, I was genuinely excited! My sincere apologies,
