Though I have found Tory Burch's signature 'Reva' flat a tad narrow for my 'sturdy' feet, the rainbow-range of colours and no-frills design keep me coming back for more of this classic footwear find. 

 - Paris luxe - 

When I hear the word CÉLINE, like any true fashionista, I skip the Dion and head straight to the handbag.

 

I recently purchased this to-die-for Mini Luggage after falling for the hype of pending price increases and tales of 'it's the last in the company'. 

Despite my handbag addiction and my undeniable gullibility, I don't regret this purchase for even an instant. 

Structured, shapely and in a smooth-as-can-be leather, this CÉLINE bag is not only a classic -- but a keepsake carryall I can't wait to show off.
