A Good Haul...

Woo! My Christmas vacation in London was sure a perfect way to end a fantastic year... The sales were excellent, I had tons of fun with my friends, and the best part, I came back with amazing key pieces for my university wardrobe for the spring term...



Firstly, I got the Prada sfumata vernice tote after a thorough examination of all the different possibilities on sale... The Lanvin 48 hours bag was just ridiculously big that it actually did look like a proper weekender bag, unlike my Balenciaga which can still be used for lectures and stuff. And the Mulberry Piccadilly? Too damn heavy for its own good.


And I loooove the Prada sfumata after seeing it in person. The colour gradation of the patent leather, the size of the bag and the overall look of the bag sealed the deal for me when I managed to snag the final piece at Prada Selfridges.



I also got my dream pair of ankle boots from Dior Homme at Selfridges. A gorgeous pair of grey calfskin ankle boots with a stacked heel.


Adding to that list, I also bought a beautiful pair of black deerskin Miu Miu Chelsea boots from Harvey Nichols.



I also bought a black Nicole Farhi pea coat with adorable nautical buttons, a sea blue quilted Barbour jacket that's oh-so-Sloane Ranger, socks from Kenzo, Burberry and Calvin Klein, new undies from Calvin Klein, a Crabtree & Evelyn Nantucket Briar gift set, tea from Whittard and Harrods, a new Filofax refill for my LV agenda, and some cat figurines for my windowsill.



All in all, I think I got a pretty good haul from the sales. Here's to a new year, and to even more fabulous shopping!
