Mulberry addiction

As you already know, I love good-quality bags. That's one of my true passions and I simply cannot resist to Carolina Herrera, Mulberry, Hermès, Balenciaga and Proenza Schouler. These are by far my favourite brands.

I have been promising myself for a while now a Mulberry (Yup, remember the Alexa I was craving for?! Still don't have it - always end up spending money in other stuff). Well I didn't buy the Alexa (YET), but I bought the Black Spongy Pebbled Effie Satchel, just for starters (I'd like to think so, at least). This is a very practical bag for everyday use, but which can be adapted for a night out, and has recently joined the Mulberry family, so who knows?! It may become iconic one day! Apart from a vintage quilted black leather backpack I bought a couple of months ago, this is my first real investment bag since I arrived, so I'm quite happy about it. Couldn't be happier indeed!

Later in the week, photos with MYYYY PRECIIIOOOOOOUSSSS!

Enjoy your Saturday! I will probably be strolling around the Soho and visit (finally hopefully) the Louboutin exhibition (let's just hope Mr. Bubbly won't be exhausted after his morning football coaching session).

shopping frenzy (7)

Who doesn't like Primark?

Today, among other shops, I went shopping at Primark. I don't buy a lot there, but usually, if I go there, I always bring something home (okay, okay, a "few" things). When I lived in Portugal and went to a Primark store for the first time I felt it was paradise: the items are not of amazing quality (we all have to agree on that) but "they will do" and many of them are still fashionable and trendy, so why not? It is not the right place if you want a bag or a pair of shoes for life, but it is the right place to go if you're short on money but still are craving for shopping.

Unlike some of my friends, and many women who always carry those grey Primark trolleys full of clothes and accessories they will never really wear, I think I never spent there more than £35/40. I don't love everything I see - let's just say I'm exquisite - eheheh! However, with 30£ you can buy a lot of things there. I'll show you.

 Sandals, YEEEEY! the 1st pair was 6£ and the 2nd 8£ - lovely AND cheap!

 I hate buying cheap poor-quality bags, I do! 

But, in my defence, I love this Tiffany blue that goes with my iPhone rubber case and it was only £6!! :)

 The Colourful Necklace - only £4! Cheap, and great to wear with some dresses, blouses and sweaters.

 The oversized black shirt to wear with almost everything: shorts, jeans, skirts and so on - 10£.

This is how it looks on me - I love trying on the new stuff I buy when I arrive home - just to make sure it was well-invested money, of course. :)

[ btw, never mind the silly face, I do that all the time! and what's that with my right hand?!?! 

Gosh, what a picture! :)]

So, all in all, I spent £34! and look how much stuff I brought home! We have to love it!
