back home from London

I've recently arrived back home from a week in the capital and as always, I had a lot of fun!
There is always so much to see and do down there, with so much going on, you never find yourself bored. I honestly did not know where my time went, the hours flew by (i guess this means i will have to go again shortly!).
Obviously I did the essential tourist sights and whatnot but I also found myself shopping everyday; well, it would have been rude of me not too!
I tend to buy a lot more than i did this year but I am very pleased with my purchases, so I can't really complain.
I guess I went the craziest in H&M. I don't normally shop there for a few reasons- the main one being where I live, we don't have one! Also because I find the quality terrible and most things look very cheap. However at the moment, I can honestly say it is all beautiful and such bargain prices! Also the layout of most H&M stores make me feel like I am searching through a jumble sale, but the one on Oxford Street (nearest Selfridges) was beautifully layed out, as was the one in Knightsbridge.
Topshop really failed me, there was nothing whatsoever that screamed my name, infact, the only thing I did end up buying from there was a cardigan (which i love!)
ZARA is one of my all time favourite stores (we also don't have one near me locally!) so I got a few nice pieces from their too.
My favourite item I purchased was of course my Chloe handbag (the leather smells amazing) I ended up not buying the Paraty because they didn't have it in the beige colour that I wanted it in, so I ended up buying the Margareth which is new for A/W and I have to say, I prefer it to the Paraty now, it has more detail on it, making it look a bit more special.
Again, I have rambled on for way too long, so I shall leave it there :).

choices choices ..

So, this time next week, i will more than likely be sitting in my beautiful hotel room, with a nice cup of tea, Chatty Man getting ready to come on and wrapped up in my thick white plush dressing robe! Exciting :) More to the point, i shall be in London all week, yum! Now even more to the point, i'm gonna be shopping! Obviously there are lots of clothing items that i'm going to be buying myself, but this year, i'm after THE bag. I've been longing for my beautiful Chloe Paraty for a very long time now, i believe it will set me back around £950- worth every hundred mind! However, now i've spotted myself the Mulberry Alexa and it's off putting me. Okay, so in the back of my mind there's a voice that's saying go for the Chloe as i know that is the correct thing to do, but the Alexa is only £795, not saving a great deal, but it is still a hot bag! Obviously i'd get it in the same colour as i would my Paraty (beige) but it is just such a hard decision and i for one, can't decide on the simple things. It will have to pass the bag test for me; basically i carry the bag on my arm and look in-front of a mirror and see if it suits me, which ever one looks the best on me, i'll buy, simples. Which one would you go for? Chloe or Mulberry ...

i love ... 'See by Chloe'

I just can't get enough of 'See by Chloe' at the moment, i'm finding myself looking at the Chloe website everyday!

I have always been a fan of Chloe and it is one of my all time favourite brands.

I'm off to London in around 3 weeks now and, I will be buying my baby, the Chloe Paraty handbag. After lusting over it since it first came out, it will finally be mine.

I've planned to check out the entire Fall 10 'See by Chloe' range too, from the Sloane Street store in London, and there is a gorgeous cardigan, skirt, dress in which i will definatley be buying, (i'd buy the entire collection if i could!) and i am really lusting over the fur trimmed boots. On the topic of boots, i purchased myself a new pair today and i love them, i can not wait for them to arrive!
