blazer. mossimo. T. steve and barrys. jeans. Levis. purse. vintage. shoes. chloe.briefcase. I was overjoyed when I came across this vintage piece. I find it has the allure of a classy, intelligent business woman who rocks into an all male business firm wearing a killer D & G suit coupled with sky-high Prada pumps. Ready to devour her prey...
I was only planning on buying a belt and blazer that particular day, but as I proceeded to make my payment this piece of sophistication miraculously appeared in front of me. The weird thing was, no one was in the store other than a few staff members and this certainly was not there when I walked in, nor was it there as I perused the racks ( it was a tiny store and I could see the couch the entire time). It appeared out of nowhere and was snatched up by moi, ever so rapidly. The case of the magic purse. Maybe it will bring me some good luck this next week or so ;)...
Oh, those shoes !!!!! xxx

couturecarrie: it is a little skinny-minnie!
maveri: ha ha! your so cute. Yeah I know, hey? I bought it last year at the NYC S & B's BUT in the mens section. They have WAY better options than womens. way better. Check it out.
mimi: thanks girl!
the clothes horse: super slim case! that was the allure for me.
knight cat: Your TOO sweet. OH MY- ask away. I don't mind at all! Please, anything at all. I was born in Canada and moved here 3.5 years ago... It is AMAZING but it took a huge adjustment. It is still considered 3rd world, but Cape Town is extremely cosmopolitan. There is HEAPS to do... it has so much to offer ( hiking, world class beaches, surfing, cycling, wine tours, oh my the list goes on & on) It really is lovely.
girl on the wing: AW girl. thanks. Everything will fall in to place... you wouldn't be going there if it was not meant to be. I would LOVE to go to London!
krissy: thank you.
tinkerbell and fairies: thanks girl! it makes me feel very business-y.
