Clockwise: Chanel WOC (similar, get 10% off with code APRILFLASH), Wedgwood teacup set, a rose, Hotel Chocolat caramel & sea salt chocolates, Monica Vinader Riva diamond bracelet, Hermes scarf, Geodesis candle.

Thank you, ladies for all your tips and suggestions. Keep them coming! I'll be hitting the make up counters over the next few days armed with a list of your recommendations. Needless to say, I'm rather clueless about beauty products so all your comments have been particularly helpful. Merci!

It took me over a year to find a caviar Chanel WOC but this durable leather makes it worry free when I'm out and about, in rain or sunshine. (BTW, I once purchased an old and sad looking Chanel caviar bag and restored it to near new condition. That's how fabulous the leather is). I'm rather obsessed with Wedgwood teacup and saucer sets these days. This one's made in England and is dainty and pretty, the anti-thesis of my tomboy self.

Suffice to say, I'm hooked on anything that has the label "salted butter caramel" including these chocolates from Hotel Chocolat. A close friend of mine brought over a large bouquet of roses. They're in full bloom more than a week later. A huge thank you to Monica Vinader for gifting me with something on my wish list. I've been collecting Hermes scarves for a while, particularly ones with an Oriental theme. I hope to frame this "Ballade de Heian" someday. By the way, this is Natsuno Hidaka, the artist's illustration of the life in the Heian dynasty in Japan from 794 to 1185 A.D.

Now that I've shared my current favorites, what are yours? (um...yes....I'm pretty nosy about these things)

  6. How gorgeous is that bracelet? Well I will join you slightly on the chocolate front a the moment, but I'm not fussy, any will do. After giving it up for Lent I seem to be making up for lost time and eating any I can lay my hands on (including the kids Easter Eggs...). Probably my most favourite item though is my Balenciaga handbag. Even over my vintage Chanel's and even though I wanted Chanel more than Balenciaga. It's more the emotions attached to it in a way, it was bought with some 'special' money so it means a lot. It has also been used far more than I ever imagined and adored with every single use. I can definitely say it's been worth it on the 'cost per wear' front. x

  9. The ethics of pay to get my homework done and handing it in as your own work are in a moral grey area
