VOGUE 120... BY M

Since 1892 VOGUE has helped normal women turn into fashionistas. In honour of their 120 anniversary I have selected some of my favorite covers. Enjoy!!

The satchel bag in gold. By S.

Yesterday Maria wrote a post about her new fluorescent yellow Stella Rittwagen satchel bag which she got from my sister Becky who lives in Madrid. You can check it out here! I also got a satchel bag from Becky too, but in gold. She sent them to us a few days ago from Spain where the factory is. 

I love my gold bag, it goes with most of the clothes in my wardrobe and I think it will look great with my warmer autumn clothes. I am wearing a lot of gold lately, little gold chains and earrings, gold Ray Ban aviator sunglasses, gold sandals... A gold bag was only the next natural step!

I took advantage of some black linen curtains I have hanging at home and used them as the backdrop for my photo session. I have to admit that I am IN LOVE with the gold/black combination!

Check out the satchel bag in a really cool color here!!

Avoca, 100% Irish. By S.

There is one shop I always have to visit while I'm in Ireland and that's Avoca, one of Ireland's treasures. It's a family-run business that is famous for its throws and blankets as well as its clothing and food label. They also have their own perfumes, glassware, ceramics, and run a world-class garden. 

I own various throws from Avoca which always remind me of Ireland, of my family there, of the beauty of the country and the warmth of its people. It's the kind of shop that takes you back in time when everything was simple, uncomplicated, natural, basic.  It arouses the senses to the smell of home-made cooking, the feel of 100% lambs wool, the colours of natural flowers... It's simply beautiful.

Avoca says that "what unifies our approach is to try to avoid the average or ordinary. Instead, we look for colour and life and happiness, and seek out the unusual and beautiful. Our mission is to create joy and have fun. In fact we're selfish, choosing things firstly because we love them and then hoping we're not alone in our taste."
