It's about buttery bags

I'm not planning on purchasing a new handbag anytime soon, I wish, but for now I'm ok and I rather save the money for something else, sigh... But let me tell you, if I was planning to buy something it might well be a fab piece from Valhalla Brooklyn. The designs are beautiful, the leathers looks incredibly soft, just the perfect buttery leather I love and the linings are the prettiest I have seen lately. 

Blog Crawl: it's in the Bag

Before I start today's post I would like to thanks Lana for having me over yesterday sharing one of my favorite places for pizza in London, if you fancy checking it out it's here. Thansks Lana!

Ashley from A Hasty Life has organised a fun blog Crawl and put a bunch of us in groups to share what it's on our bags! I love checking out what it's on your fab bags, so this is much fun!
SO here it is, my bag and it's contents.

1. Bayswater bag from Mulberry. I absolutely adore it. A classic british bag that remains in season after season. Roomy just a bit heavy as per se.
2. Medicine case: Ha! Funny one right? It's a vintage Christian Dior, that I bought off Ebay years and years ago. I carry pills and bits and bobs.
3. Small Louis Vuitton wallet, a gift from a very good friend.
4. Umbrella. Because after all this is London.
5. Kindle in green cover: I'm absolutely LOVING it, do you have one? I got it for Christmas and when I opened it I was honestly star strucked! At the moment I'm reading One Day, a really good read.
6. Key Case: Fuchsia, patents and with a bow from Miu Miu, birthday gift from my dear friends.
7. Makeup case: From Bimba y Lola. Perfect size and fits my Bare Minerals and brush, L'Occitane hand cream and Rosebud Salve.
8. Head Band/Hat from Asos
9. Gums, Sweets, Kleenex
10. Twilight water bottle, yes!

Make sure you check out yesterday's post in my group and see what's in Her Own's Eden bag  and also tomorrow bag by Travels in Heels

Thanks Ashley for organising this!

Al-Attiyah bags stage win

Nasser Al-Attiyah won the third stage of the Dakar Rally by 25 seconds from overall leader and Volkswagen team-mate Carlos Sainz.
The Qatari driver covered the 521-kilometre route in Argentina from San Miguel de Tucuman to San Salvador de Jujuy in three hours, 42 minutes and 20 seconds.
Sainz remains three minutes and 34 seconds in front overall, with Al-Attiyah now the Spaniard's closest challenger and Frenchman Stephane Peterhansel, in a BMW, third.
Meanwhile in the bike category, Spanish rider Marc Coma took the stage victory to cut defending champion Cyril Despres' overall advantage to just 14 seconds.
Stage four on Wednesday will see the drivers cross the Andes at an altitude of 4,200 metres and enter the Atacama desert, one of the driest places on earth.

Clare Vivier handbags

What's not to love? Fine and soft leather, simple and classic shapes, timeless beauty all in all. Clare Vivier started her business after creating her own laptop sleeve, talk about an idea! She creates most of her bags herself and all the rest is locally handmade in Burbank, LA. A Les Tropeziennes bag by CLAREVIVIER is definitely on my wish list! Fair price for a piece that will stand the time. Me want want want.

Below is Clare's studio in her LA home as seen by Jeana Sohn. If you want to see Clare's closet (WOW!) go to Jeana's blog and stay for a while, Im sure you will find something you love.
