Baglove


I randomly came across this picture, and it inspired me for making a blogpost. Why? Because it unites three of my all time favourite designer bags! OK, not in the edition of my choice, but hey that orange Givenchy does look good!

1.
Alix's black lacquer Bayswater (WANT!), brown Cookie Bayswater 
Hanneli's black Cookie, brown mini
Chiara's golden Bayswater
Louise's black Bayswater

The Mulberry Bayswater is a classic, popular amongst all ages, both young and old. I've mentioned him a (long) time ago in my all time favourite wishlist, which is still quite the same actually! It's a classic bag that stands above trends and will never be old-fashioned. And despite it's price of nearly 1000 euros (Hey, have you raised??), I think it might be worth the money. It's one of those life time investments, made by the best craftsmen, and ready to be with you for the rest of your life.

My two favourite Candy bag ambassadors: Betty!
and Hella!
Ivania's python is actually the only 'special edition' I like.
Alix, taking the Candy bag kinda literally.

Furla's Candy bag, ahh I fell in love from the first minute I saw him. I'm still surprised about my love for this fella, normally I don't tend to fall for hand-or-elbow-held bags. While not wanting to offend anyone, I link this type of bag with bitchy people. (Hello prejudice!) But the Candy bag's quirky plastic material and vibrant colours didn't had this effect on me, and immediately made me drool. On the other hand because of it's flashy colours, not very practical shape and not to mention it's transparency, this bag can become quite a challenge. And I'm afraid it's not a timeless bag either. But, it is the cheapest of these all with a price about 150 to 200 euros!

 Chiara with a mini green croco and a mini black Antigona.
Denni's breathtaking cream Antigona that made me fall for these beauties. (WANT!)

The Givenchy Antigona will be for ever a dream I'm afraid. Since it's prices begin at 1400 euros, and that is just a tat too much for me. The design is sober, minimal, and that's just perfect. And because of it's large size it would be a perfect replacement for my overly-used bag, which is kinda falling apart at the moment. :( Any ideas for some kind of a knock-off? (Please no replicas, I'm not a big fan of those.)

Personal favourites through the years, part I

Fashion is often compared to avant garde, it must continue to innovate constantly.
But as Coco Chanel once said: "Fashion fades, but style Remains." Fashion and style are the same to me. So it doesn't matter whether someone wears an outfit from 10 years ago or maybe one that was trendy last year.
This is why I wanted to show you some outfits. They are 'eternal' favourites of mine. (as in 'I liked them on bloglovin' ;))

Siel's alltime Wishlist

Don't you have some things that you really really really want? Things that are hard to find or too expensive for you ? I have! And I'd like to show you my list.
You'll see the big influence of blogs!

-BAG'S
Although the Alexa is very pretty, I prefer the Mulberry Bayswater. Preferable a simple one, and a gooorgeous one in lac leather. And perhaps another special one. I don't know yet :D
First sight lac version: on The Cherry Blossom Girl.
Price: €750, €850
 

-WATCH
I have one favourite but unfortunately I can't find him :( If I would I would buy him immediately! But the chances to find the watch are decreasing, cause it's from a few seasons ago. So I'm afraid I'm never going to buy my darling.
Let's present my one and only big love:
The  Just Cavalli Snake End - Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch pfoe! what a name
First seen at Asos
Price: between €200 - 300


-BOOTS
1) I already wrote an article about it, the Pirate Boots of Vivienne Westwood. Oh they're so beautiful !
First sight: I think at Tokyobanhbao, I'm not sure.
Price: about €400



2) And other boots designed by her hand: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa Bow Detail Ankle Boots. First I thought I would never buy these but now you see the brand everywhere here in Europe. When I was in London I finally saw them in real and I even tried them on. Stupid kid as I am, I was doubting too much about the price and the fact that I didn't need them. Anyway, now I know my size :)
First seen at Tokyobanhbao
Price: about €90


-MAKE-UP
Too Faced Seek To Conquer The World Domination Tour (Box). Or another palette/box from Too Faced. They are all amazing and wonderful to get as present (Hint? ;) ) But this particular one is hard to find lately.
First seen at Misslipgloss
Price: €34


-JEWELLERY
1) Marc Jacobs Silver Bracelets Solid Cuff Wrist Band. I'd almost convinced my dad to order them on Ebay. Almost.
First seen at Le blog de Betty
Real price: ? Ebay price: from €30


2) Disney Couture ! I love love love that brand! I love almost everything there but I'll show you some of my favourites.
First seen in a magazine
Price: €30 till €100




And I thought I would only remember a few things! It went a whole list. Come on Siel, start saving money! Oh right, I'm still saving for a laptop, and I'm not even half.
