I admitted yesterday on Twitter my addiction to pastels and nudes but I conveniently forgot to mention I was also mildly hooked on double denim, by fear of looking like a total trend whore.
The thing is, fashion being cyclical and all that, it tends to regularly catch up with my wardrobe staples, so I stock up. When nautical is in, I bulk buy stripy tops. When pastels and nudes are in, I restock too. As for double denim, luckily denim pieces are built to last so I can just happily pick and choose in my closet, I don’t have to buy anything new. Amen to that.
Speaking of addiction, my new drug of choice is the bag I have on these photos. It is a wedding present and I am head over heels in love with it. I picked it because it reminds me of a more exotic version of the Mulberry Bayswater.
I love the jade details and intricate leather work. It is by Shanghai Tang, a brand I discovered recently (I have a few photos from their AW10 offerings to show you, they will make you dribble in your shoes).
