2012 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2012 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 530,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 10 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!

I die for: a Mock Celine T-shirt….

There seems to be a little trend in people knocking out mock Celine t-shirts….so if you never managed to get your fingers on the real thing…

You can always opt for Michael Agwunobi’s Celine up bitches version…(more stock arriving today I have been promised!)

I die for: Boy Chanel quilted flap bag in velvet with chain and shoulder strap…

Of course this style Chanel flap bag is sold out in Europe, and you’ll be a very lucky lady if you can find one – let alone be treated to this as your Christmas gift, but we can always DREAM……

Celine Pre-Fall 2012 Leather pants v. Mango Leather pants…..

One of my favourite materials is leather. So leather Celine pants naturally would be something I’d crave….but after forking out a pretty penny on lots of stuff I didn’t fancy the price tag …. but the Mango price tag of £115  was much more appealing….

So this is what I wanted ….

And this is what I got….  🙂

Superette – The Hot Dog….

Last week was good but I think this week is gonna be BETTER! The guys at Superette after causing a great storm with their pop-up food extravaganzas are again hosting The Hot Dog at The F.Cooke’s (Pie & Mash) shop on Broadway Market in East London. The sun will be shining and I will be eating hot dogs……

Just for one day: I wanna be wearing this Celine outfit….

I love, love, love this Autumn/Winter Celine collection, and the shoes brought me tears of excitement…but it was Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge that actually made me feel like crying…they only have the white version (which didn’t bother me as I’d love either – the white or the gold) but the largest size they have ordered are 38s! And who thought that would be a clever idea?

My feet are 39/40!!!!!
