The Vespa:

- an uncompromising fusion of breathtaking performance, technical superiority and classic design. The visual flow of the modern and decisive lines of the cowls, the round and sloping front headlight, the passenger footrests with fold out from the body, are all characteristics which make Vespa unique. The Vespa maintains the fundamental characteristics which make every Vespa an incomparable vehicle in the scooter world. The monocoque body made entirely from steel is a construction philosophy which ensures legendary sturdiness, reliability and superior rigidity, all to the advantage of riding precision.

Funky Shoes, Purple Leaf and An Eerie Castle :

WEEK OF MARCH 18, 2012:

The Funky Shoes:

Theme: Shoes Monday. Votes: 16. 

These are indeed the funkiest shoes I own. I do not mean to be vulgar when I wear it, I just appreciate good workmanship and style.

The Purple Leaf:

Theme: Leaf On Thursday. Votes: 28.

This Purple Agave Lipstick Plant  gave me the highest votes up to the time of it's post and maybe even to date! I like it but I didn't expect this kind of reception for it! mahvelous!

The Eerie Castle:

Theme: Monochrome Monday. Votes: 19.

This photo I processed to make it look as vintage as possible, in fact, medieval. Like the age and architecture of the castle! Edinburgh Castle to be exact. To me it's as if, a period piece film is about to unfold with this pic! ;-)

Goodbye Tote, you gotta go? Me oh my oh!

While perusing through late last fall's spring/summer collection I spotted these hand bags which debuted at the House of Chloe.

They appealed to me because they looked beautiful and fun but will they be practical? For someone like me who has been spoiled by the tote, hobo and the satchel style bags for their multi purposes and style, I am not sure.

In the age when a woman on the go has to have at least 2 gadgets (cell phone and tablet), a pill box, make up kits, hand sanitizers, miniature sized lotion, perfume, envelope-sized wallet, shades, car keys, pen, tiny umbrella and perhaps a wrap or Pashmina, these pretty little bags will want so much in performance.

However, I will not dismiss the power of cuteness and trend. While the tiny bag is not as functional as it's predecessors, consumers like us will still desire one for very leisurely appointments where we don't expect as much use as we would novelty and style in a bag.
