Shopping Frenzy 2

Another day of money well spent I thought. Whilst waiting for a friend to finish work then head out for dinner, there is no better way to kill time but to browse at some shops. Yes, I had no intention in making any purchase at all but thought 'I would just windowshop', and little did I know my wallet would bleed in the space of 45 minutes...
Mix and match with high end and high street is often the formula I go by: a nice handbag and a smart pair of shoes are the essentials to a chic outfit and can often jazz up high street clothes nicely, and not being misunderstood as a 'Label Queen'. I am quite a sentimental person and have been very loyal to a number of handbags for a while. Or, to put it in another way, I haven't seen one that made me fell 'Wow! This is a MUST have!', until yesterday, this Ralph Lauren bag caught my eyes.

Most would associate Ralph Lauren with its famous and iconic polo shirt of course. The brand has actually updated its image in recent years through its successful marketing campaign, which emphasis the brand's expensive lines more. Their collections are rather comparable to the more established luxury brands, in style and in quality. This Lauren Ralph Lauren horseshoe satchel bag really stands out to me. Simple but yet elegant, and tan is very on trend at the minute and does not usually look out of date anyhow. The strap is adjustable in length, so depending on occasion it can be worn as cross-shoulder if needed, perfect for the smart-casual look I always aim for (and absolutely justify the spending too....)



As mentioned, Ralph Lauren does more than just polo shirts and its homeware is also pretty damn nice. 100% cotton and the sheet is 200 thread count cotton, which would be nice and silky soft! Since we spend 1/3 of our lives in bed, it is important to have the finest and niciest bedding one can afford. Afterall it is often skin-to-skin contact so definitely not cutting corner there! Cannot wait to wash, iron, snuggle up and enjoy them, bliss!

Think I have done pretty well this week!
