Luxe Beach Bags

As our trip to Italy approaches, I am dreaming of beach bags. Both these straw bags below are way out of my league (even on sale!) but if money was just simple paper, I would love to add at least one of the two to my bags collection. A girl can dream.

1. Capability Nevis bag by Anya Hindmarch:

2. Dolce and Gabbana Floral print bag:

One more thing...

... And *Santa*, if you are still listening, I love these super cute teaspoons:

Dear Santa

With these, you can't go wrong :)

1. Orla Kiely Multi Stem Rotating Folio for iPad 2

2. Apple iphone 4S

Santa has arrived!

So, after posting my wish list online, desperately trying to reach out on Santa, yesterday I received two of my first gifts for this year. It looks like Santa hasn't really been checking my tweets and blog posts but I am quite happy with his choices anyway! These are items I would have certainly shortlisted for a wish list at some point!

Rob and I decided to exchange gifts last night. In case we didn't like our gifts or there were problems with the size, at least we would have had all day tomorrow to go and change them.
I organised a litte treasure hunt for Rob, whose face lit up when he came back from work and saw paper n0. 1 laying on the table. Treasure hunts are always fun!

I know you are curious: I got two gifts, one from Rob and one from Rob's parents who had commissioned him to get me something nice. How sweet! So, the lovely Paul Smith swirl silk scarf is from my future in-laws and the monogram luck-it bracelet is from my love.

So far, a pretty good Xmas!

Have you opened your gifts yet? Has Santa been good and generous with you?

Dear Santa ... (#5)

Next on my wish list is this fabulous dress from Nadinoo. My only problem is: Red or navy?

Dear Santa ... (#4)

To be fashionable and glamorous even at boring meetings!

Marc Jacobs laptop cases is the answer!

Dear Santa ... (#3)

Dear Santa, I need your help here.
I know this bracelet is something I would like for Christmas, but the problem is: which colour? You decide!

Dear Santa ... (#2)

Item # 2 on my wish list must be this dreamy cardigan by Orla Kiely.
Much cheaper than the first item, Santa!

Can't get enough!

I just love RayBan sunglasses, for me they are the only cool sunglasses in the market. Forget about major brands, Gucci, Chanel, Dior, D&G, none of these have the quirkiness of this American-Italian brand.

I already have three pairs of RayBan and I am about to buy my fourth one. Howevere, I have just spotted this Limited Edition and am in love. Everything is right here: the shades of blue and the flowers are so in! Must have them too! Aren't they adorable?
