Shopping Monday - Bags And Shoes

I needed some retail therapy as lately I have been doing all my shopping online due to the weather and being busy. I went down to my fave shopping destination Knightsbridge to see what was new for the season. These are the items that caught my eyes, saw loads more but my batt ran out which is a sign that I need to have my camera with me at all times.


I love Balenciaga bags my fave is the blue, I also like the green it will be great for summer


I have this in red but I like this blue

 
Every girl should own at least one Chanel bag



Not sure about this colour






Chloe Paraty love the grey phyton

 
I luv everything about these big Kiss leather flat Louboutins


Christian Louboutin Cosmo 120 Python pumps these shoes are HAUTE





I like the detailing on the heel not the colour of the shoe

Globe Trotting - Luggage



It's that time of the year when my sister and I start planning our holidays for the year. This year we plan to visit as many places as we can in the time that we can take off  from our workaholic lives and make the most of our weekends by doing trips to places in Europe.
I'm on the hunt for a new luggage set and I want something that I can use for years and is stylish. Two brands that tick all the boxes when it comes to my requirements are Globe Trotter and Louis Vuitton. Both brands have been around for so many many years and there is a timeless element to the products that they offer. I'm not known to travel light as I like to make sure I have everything I need and some extras just in case so I need at least 2-3 suitcases, 1cabin luggage with wheels (its easy when shopping duty free) and 1 huge handbag which I already have covered.

Interiors - Dream Closets

Where you store your clothes is just as important as the clothes in them. These days everyone has a closet for just about everything and with past shows like SATC and MTV cribs closets space became the must have interior essential. In the UK walk in closets were never the norm it was more common in America where in family and friends houses it was an essential part of the house. In my first house when I moved out of home I converted my 2nd bedroom into a dressing room/walk in closet and loved the space it gave me to try on clothes without cluttering my bedroom. These days I'm also guilty for having a closet for everything I even have a special one for lingerie as I think they are just as important as my clothes.


Carrie's closet in SATC is def one of the most famous and sought after closets in a fashionista's world


Mariah's shoe closet I died when I saw this for the first time in a magazine article


Carrie's dream closet in SATC movie. I think it was one of the most romantic scenes in a movie Mr. Big building it for her.



This is what my ideal shoe,bag and luggage closet will look like



Picture of the mess that is one of my closets. I like this space as its wide and huge (picture shows one side of it). This has my hanging clothes I've got a seperate closets for my bags, flat shoes and folded clothes.


Who said being a girl was easy =)
