A is for Africa:
I have always been a fan of ethnical themes - perhaps trying to breathe some exotic allure into my boring Caucasian European self. African fashion is about combining wooden accessories and earthy colours with bold patterns and wild colours. Try and get a taste of Africa with colourful make-up of bright yellows, startling whites and rich earth-reds mixed together with flamboyant accessories.
B is for Balenciaga Handbags:
Cristobal Balenciaga was not hailed as ‘The Couturier of Couturiers’ and ‘The Master of us all’’ for nothing by designer Christian Dior. But Balenciaga died in his home country of Spain in 1972 and the company has been since acquired by the Gucci Group in 2001.
Here are some examples of current Balenciaga bags that in my opinion scream “quality” although I am not a fan of gold – it looks tacky… also my pockets are not filled with gold either and if they were I might buy a pony instead of a Belanciaga handbag! Still! They are pretty to look at in pictures so here you are.
C is for Colours:
And lots and lots of them! As I already mentioned in my post about what colour handbag suits you and is in fashion in the summer of 2008 - colours are all the rage this summer and really you cannot go wrong unless you model yourself on crusty the clown. Colours mean bold and confident and that is the image that you project on other people when you carry a bright coloured handbag. You can either go “New Rave” with neon colours, classical with bright bold colours or pastel with “Ice-cream” colours. Have fun – this year it is allowed!
