Arm Candy

I will be going to Paris with a friend next month.  And since Paris is THE city of fashion, what is there to lust after but for bags and clothings.  I guess I will just be contented with a arm candy this time instead of a chic summer dress.  I am drooling after two to-die-for bags; the Balenciaga Giant Velo Rose Gold in old rose for $1795 and the Givenchy Tinhan Hobo for $1815.

I love the size of the Balenciaga Velo Rose Gold and the super soft, cushy lightweight leather that Balenciaga does so well.  While I think Balenciaga bags always project a biker chic look, the rose gold hardwares on the Velo give the bag a hint of glamor.  Each season, Balenciaga always come up with a range of beautiful colors for their bags.  But the old rose color caught my eye immediately because it has this romantic powdery pink tint that is oh so hard to resist.

I think the Givenchy Tinhan Hobo wasn't given enough credit when it debuted.  Ok, it got mention in a couple of publications and blogs but seriously, there wasn't much news about it.  I have seen the Tinhan in person, and it's a beaut.  Because it is shaped like a pear, while carrying it on your shoulder, it shapes and mold to your body.  It doesn't scream attention, but quietly brings compliments to the rest of your outfit.

What's Hanging?

I have been looking for the perfect chandelier to hang in my attic.  You might think it is easy but with so many selections and choices, it is actually one of the hardest thing to decide on when decorating your home.  A hanging light could make or break the decor of the room since it is one of the major focal point in a room.

I think this Turquoise Empire Chandelier from Marjorie Skouras is absolutely gorgeous.  It would definitely be the center of attention and would dramatize any room it is in.  Too bad the price tag is a little under $7000 which means I would never be able to afford to own this beaut.  Well, one can still dream, can't she?
 

Curtains and More

Now that it's Spring, the afternoon sun has been shinning unrelentingly through my attic windows.  The sun is too glaring for me since my work desk faces a big window.  Therefore, I am contemplating in making new window blinds for that reason.  I have recently bought the Garrick Aqua fabric of the Adelphi Collection from Designers Guild.

I would love to add trimmings to the blinds.  I am lusting after the Torelli Moss in the Orsetti Collection costing £54 per metre.

Iphone 4 Swarovski Crystal Cover

Ever since I received my iphone 4, I have been looking for the perfect cover to bling it up. I found this cover laden with multi-colored Swarovski crystal on ebay for USD200.
