laid back luxury.


The first outing for my new lipstick, and also the first time for sharing a treasured item with you. 
The alligator clutch bag was brought back from Africa by my dad's dad, a squadron leader in the 2nd world war, who collected unusual pieces from places he visited. A rare piece which always attracts a lot of attention. It is something I would have never bought and don't believe in, but it holds a lot of history, and is therefore very special.

  20. These photos are stunning! That Tom Ford lipstick is perfection, and it suits your perfectly. I love the history behind your clutch, too. I would never buy something alligator, either, but a piece with such a story behind it deserves to be used :)
