Louis Vuitton 'Pochette Nightbird' bag

Christian Louboutin ' Hola Lita' sandal

T is for Thursday, tribal and tassels....

A lovely friend kindly bought with her a stash of foreign glossy mags when she flew in to Bs As last weekend... I am in heaven as I browse through all the spring editions. It seems that tassels are still 'in' in a big way and that there is a lot of tribal influence in the Spring/Summer collections.

If $$ were no object then I would buy in a flash -

i) the Spring/Summer 2010 Louis Vuitton 'Pochette Nightbird' bag - with it's Indian style adornment adding a touch of the 'exotic' to the luxury brand. Whilst not particularly big - 7.1" x 10.6" x 1.2" it is very fun!

$2240 usd

and then ii) these 'Hola Lita ' sandals by Christian Louboutin with gold platted, red and leopard print leather.... grahhhhhhh!!

$465 usd

wish list........

i LOVE the Bona Drag ballet slipper

refinement to .....

ATTITUDE

Ballet is refinement with a CAPITAL 'R'...and for quite sometime now, the ballet slipper has been the choice of many a fashionista who likes to be well turned out, chic for a better word...

French Sole led the way, adapting the original ballet slipper (Capezio) into something a little more street savvy. They continue to be the market leader although there is now strong competition from the likes of Pretty Ballerinas and on the high street there are brands galore.

You either love them or hate them.

I love them... and sooo, I was very excited by my recent discovery - a ballet slipper with ATTITUDE!

Available from Bona Drag - who have taken the original Capezio ballet slipper and adorned it with silver studs. COOL!

Bona Drag meaning 'nice outfit' is a Californian based online store with a curated collection of ladies flair and general trinkets from independent and hard to find designers - have a look...

$45 usd /pair in black or original nude tone
