A few months ago, the hubby and I were in London, leisurely strolling through Hyde Park, soaking up the rather wet English weather…literally. Then all of a sudden, I realized something. This wasn’t just any park. Oh, no. I grabbed my man’s arm, all excited, “this was where Satan St John, the dashing Earl, dueled with Yelverton.”

Which got a “What the h$$$ are you talking about now?” from my confused spouse. Read the rest of this entry »

Marc Jacobs Rana PouchThe Rana Pouch is a part of the new Marc Jacobs collection and from today on, you can preorder it @ Nordstrom. If you had your eyes on it, better hurry since there is a limited number of Rana pouches that will be available. I honestly do not know what to think about it.

You just cannot make bag of this size in a bright red color, add thin gathered pleats and stitched details and expect it to look good. I’m was discussing this bag with Zoe a moment ago and the only feature she liked was the aged gold metal hardware, and the only thing I like is the color. Everything else about it we simply couldn’t swallow.. Mixing such a strong vivid color with the other stuff featured on this bag is… well… a bagicide(?). If it was smaller it could work, but in this size, no way. Read the rest of this entry »
