Actually I really would and I’m not really a bag girl. I do covet many things but I get to live vicariously through my shoots and everyday experiences as a fashion stylist. So oddly enough I don’t feel a great need to own a great many things, but I do seem to need a new handbag this winter.
I have 4 bags: a silver Belen Enchandia bag – which is well-loved, a Prada backpack & evening bag and a wonderful green handbag which was great for summer from Elisa Atheniense. I’m not one of those girls who changes handbags on a regular basis: I’m in awe of the girl who does. I hate changing bags frequently as I always forget to put something I need into the new bag. I think Oh, I don’t need the tape measure today or the double sided tape or my tide pen and then of course I do need it.
A bag to covet:
I saw this lovely bag at Selfridges: Balenciaga’s Cherche Midi Chain Link in green with beige and black. I always think I should buy a lovely black bag but it’s always a coloured handbag that catches my eye. Though the is bag not quite me I’m partial to the deep green colour. I generally like to own things by designers that I’ve met or know quite well. Clothing on some levels is very intimate to me - it has to have some meaning – a certain je ne sais pas. Anyway I’m loving purple at the moment.
I like this Belen Enchandia bag and the Notting Hill Design Python Bag. I wear quite a bit of black and purple would be a great accent colour.

I had a great day shopping with Adele Silva. We were in Manchester for a photo call and managed to squeeze in a short but productive shopping trip at The Trafford Centre! I even got some great gloves from Reiss on sale!
Adele is best known for playing the character Kelly Windsor in Emmerdale. People know lots about Kelly’s dress style but what most people don’t know is that Adele’s got great taste in clothes and has a weakness for Balenciaga dresses!

I went to see the Balenciaga Spring 2008 preview at Browns. It’s so fun to drink champagne and eat rose petal flavour macaroons from La Durée. Who says fashion isn’t a nice life – well actually nobody does! Anyway fashion is great, of course it’s greater if you have more money, but don’t we say that money can’t buy style? But honestly, with the team at Browns, it doesn’t matter if you have no style at all, you just have to have enough money and you’ll come out looking so good – just ask for Marcio. It used to really bother me when I was a teenager that some people could just go out and buy style, but now it doesn’t bother me at all. I like that anything can be bought or taught, and on a certain level I believe that style can be taught.
So how does this collection work? Well the colour palette is divided between North America and Europe. At the preview Browns only has the samples belonging to this side of the ocean. However if you like a garment in a print that sells in North America, at this particular moment in time you can order it and you can have any combination that you’d like. Not all these looks will be sold in Browns: many of the looks will sell out before they ever even hit the shop floor!
I love these shorts and this little jacket!!
