I’m quite fond of a designer handbag

Rumour has it, I’m not alone.

The thing is, my finances have a little trouble keeping pace with my (many) fancies.

I hear this condition is also not peculiar to just me.

So, ever the stylish problem solver, I’m always on the lookout for handsome handbags that don’t require the juggling of ones health insurance payments to afford…

I’m typically neither here-nor-there about bows – I totally understand how some people would like them, but they’ve just never really been ‘my thing’.

That is until I spotted this terracotta-hued trapeze shirt with the most perfect of oversized bows… and I made it my mission to discover its designer…

Love fashion but just don’t feel you can be trusted with an expensive pair of sunglasses?

Or maybe you are disproportionately troubled by the gruelling demands of decision making a.k.a “But, I Want Both Syndrome“.

Let me introduce you to my latest discovery, Sun Buddies sunglasses.

Not only are they especially handsome, they also feature Zeiss lenses (read: top quality) but still manage to be easy on the wallet.

Do you know what you get when you combine a lifetime of fashion savvy with a sentimental favourite?

You get La Ligne (…French for ‘Line’).

What is this curious alliance that I speak of?

It’s the creation of former Vogue editors Valerie Boster and Meredith Melling in addition to Molly Howard from rag & bone, who came together to translate that much-loved classic – the stripe and all of its flattering, timeless, democratic charm.

What will you find?

Everything from tanks, tees, blouses and knits through to the loveliest caftans, slips, skirts, shorts and pants… all a handsome homage to the stripe.
