Loxy


If my imitation Alexa bag is Lexie; then this homage to the Mulberry Roxy bag is my Loxy bag.
I bought this bag from Oasis in 2005.
It has worn well except for a big black ink stain at the back.
I prefer to write with my Waterman fountain pen and that means I must carry lots of ink around with me.
Although I was a little upset when the ink leaked through I began to see it as creating character.
And now I love this imperfection - a bit like the Greek waiter's take on Shirley Valentine's stretch marks!

Today I wore:
Boots - Clarks
Jeans - Top Shop
Top - Asos
Jacket - French Connection
Bag - Oasis
Notebook - Moleskine
Pen - Waterman
Corsage - M & Co.

  5. Tres stylish! I love the bag story - it's so true, isn't it, that the things we love accumulate stories along with the wear?

  9. How come your twin sister is as gorgeous as you but has not got the personality to develop her own style?

    Anyway, I feel very inspired by jour choices and will kill the first person who insinuates I am too old to do so.
