Louis Vuitton Alma BB bag, Sam Edelman suede heels & To Love Kuvaa floral slip dress

Debuting my Louis Vuitton Alma BB EPI in fuchsia! I turned 21 a few weeks ago and I feel a little bit spoiled to say that this was a surprise birthday gift from Tom. This Alma is the limited edition petite version of the LV Alma and apparently was the last one left in store in Melbourne! Apparently I was looking at bags similar to this one whilst window shopping in Europe so Tom thought I would like it. Bingo! I love it. It is the first designer bag I own & I highly doubt I’ll own many more so right now it’s my little bella who gets an extra seat in cafes and who I want to protect from the elements all the time. It’s super light and fits all my essentials. Plus I’m excited that my new staple bag is a fuchsia berry colour – perfect for me as I just crave bright shades no matter the season. It could also be the key to protecting your belongings from pickpockets – it comes with a little padlock and key so you can lock it up. Expect to see a lot more of Alma on this blog soon – it’s been on high rotation ever since and I am kinda in love with it. I can’t wait to take it on a little overnight getaway to the Mansion Hotel & Spa at Werribee Park next week – more on that soon!

miu miu noir suede sunglasses 1 miu miu new in

Miu Miu

Introducing.. one of my most exciting purchases from my European adventure! I’ve been in the market for some new sunglasses for a while to fight the heavy rays of Australia’s Summer. When I was in Sydney during the NYE weekend at the end of last year, I popped by the Miu Miu store to have a browse. A certain pair of shades caught my eyes. They were a suede version of those popular Miu Miu noirs that have been around for a couple of years now in multiple shades of glittery goodness. Oh – and they were pretty and had only just come out recently and had been apparently exclusively released in Australia first! (The excuses I tend to make up in my head for myself.) However, as I was going to head to Europe for a month, I thought I really didn’t need them just quite yet and let them pass by. Whilst Tom & I were wandering the small back lanes bordering San Marco Square in Venice, we stumbled upon a lane of luxury designers and before I knew it, I found myself trying them on again. I ended up purchasing them and am loving them so very much so far. They are a really feminine, very Miu Miu pair of sunnies, with a dusty pink and mauve contrast frame & gradient lenses.

wearing: ASOS jewel jumper, pephem skirt & green suede heels

Merry Christmas to all my lovely readers from around the world! Here’s to wishing you all a wonderful day of happiness and joyful laughter with family and friends. I spent mine not with snow, but with sunshine in Melbourne with my boyfriend, family and too much to eat. Just a small gathering as we don’t have family in Australia but a good one nevertheless. Plus I finally found an occasion to wear this crazy jewel jumper I had bought a few months ago! Yesterday, Tom surprised me with a trip to Sydney to celebrate our four year anniversary which coincides with NYE :’-) and immediately after that we will be returning home and hopping on another flight to London on new year’s day. It looks like I’ve now got double the packing to do and half the time I previously thought I had to do it so it will be a very crazy four days to come. I can’t wait to blog from abroad! But for now, I am definitely not going anywhere near a shopping centre and am going to quickly shoot my last batch of new Etsy designs, make a few Eurail train reservations and get back to packing :-)
