Want it, need it, love it: Fendi black fur ruffle Spy bag

I have wanted a spy bag for so SO long and the special limited-edition ones are just making it harde

Custom Made

I was contacted recently about making a custom made wristlet for a wedding.  I was excited, I am always flattered about being allowed to make something for someones special day.  The only issue this time was that I was meant to use the same material as the dress.  When she arrived I thought that she had gone mental as the material I was meant to use was still in the form of an actual dress…  I felt like it was such a pity to take apart a beautiful dress.  But she explained that she had bought the dress especially to have something made out of it.  Worst than cutting through a beautiful dress though was the type of material, it was made of satin and a delicate polyester that stretches in all directions.
At one point I almost gave up, all I wanted to do was cry as nothing was working.  Last night after undoing my work twice I decided to take a break before I threw a tantrum.
This morning I picked up where I had left off, but I don’t know if it was the coffee, the morning light or the night’s sleep but everything seemed to fall into place.  I’m really pleased with the result! We had discussed maybe making a little bracelet out of the remaining beaded sections.  In the end I used most of the beaded sections for the wristlet and didn’t think there would be enough left.  I used the rest to make a broach for her jacket.  I hope that she will like it, it’s obviously not something for everyday but I think that it looks really beautiful and will make her jacket look really special.

Yes its Burberry!

So when I think of Burberry I think of classic (ok sometimes boring) check printed tote bags that were popular now are kind of bla. Listen, I think they are good basic bags just not super exciting. So in searching new Fall handbags, I found these:

Burberry Feather Leather Burberry Spike Bag

and Yes, they are Burberry.

I know! I was shocked too, because they are super crazy and fashionable. I love the feather leather bag, super sassy and unique. The spike bag maybe a little too s&m for me, but maybe some of you ladies out there will find it more fitting.

So what do you think?
