Meet my Longchamp Le Pliage (Large)

About a week before I left to come overseas, I wanted a new bag to bring with me, any excuse will do ;)

I had been eyeing the Longchamp Le Pliage for a while on various blogs. Some of my favourite blogs to read are European fashion blogs belonging to women who have a very classic and chic style. This bag is a popular one among these blogs and after seeing it used in various looks, I knew I needed to get one. 

The next question was which colour would I choose? This bag comes in black, white, red, green, light blue, navy blue (like mine), patterned versions, even Kate Moss has a line out. Since the majority of my bags are either black, white or cream, navy seemed like the perfect choice. Even though now I am wishing I went with the black because navy can be hard to match!

 In many ways, when you look at the bag at first glance, it can look a bit plain or boring or even a bit old ladyish, but I love that it is classic and these bags are meant to last for years and years. I have already decided that this will not be my last Longchamp bag! 

 

What are your thoughts on the Le Pliage? 

21st Birthday Dress

By coincidence I found the perfect dress for my Birthday in Las Vegas in Zara the other day! I was in there in a complete rush, I had the boyfriend with me you said "no trying on anything, we are just here to buy a scarf"! When he lays down the rules shopping, I stick with them, but when he saw this dress, he allowed me to bend the rules because it caught his eye at the same time it caught mine!

Now what I love about this dress is the pleated design. Even though it is white around the stomach area, I am still going to be able to enjoy a big meal for my Birthday dinner and you wont be able to see it ;)

The black and white colouring is timeless and classic. Neutral colours have become a new favourite of mine and this is dress fits that perfectly. 

I plan to wear it with some sort of black heels or wedges and my hair curled and maybe if I am brace, a lovely red lip. Perhaps Viva Glam Cyndi?

Some of my own pics...

I look forward to sharing some pics from the night of my birthday which is just over 1 week away!

Europe time again!

I am sitting here in a cosy apartment in Copenhagen thinking about how long it has been since I have written a blog post. With all the duty free shopping I have already done and I am going to do, especially when I get to Vegas in a couple of weeks, I am going to have so much to share with you all.

To start the posts off again, here are some pictures showing you what I have been getting up to in this beautiful city...
