The Perfect Afternoon Tea

Now here's an origional-looking 3 tiered cake stand which I spotted at Selfridges during my stay in London. I so wanted to buy the three of them.  But I wasn't up for carrying such fragile pieces and heavy boxes around with me at the airport. The 3 tiers look like someone just put the plates and cups on top of each other but they're all attached. The salesman has informed me that the plates are hand painted and vintage and are all one-off pieces. So perfect for presenting petiti fours,chocolates and sweets... or maybe even jewelry?

Miu Miu Pays Tribute to the Middle East

Everyone who knows me, knows that I have a soft spot for bag charms. They're fun, cute, and add a dose of irresistible character to your plain handbag. So when I got the news about Miu Miu paying tribute to the Middle Eastern culture by presenting an exclusive playful yet multifunctional accessories in luxurious precious skin, I got excited intrigued. The round-shaped charms has the Arabic alphabet, each piece presenting a letter design with metallic hues and vibrant colors. They're cute, nothing groundbreaking. I'm not sure if these bags charms would step up my bag charms game, but I guess it depends on their price tag and how "exclusively" exclusive they are. Maybe they'll grow on me? I don't know... What do you think? The charms should be available exclusively in  Miu Miu   Boutiques throughout our region.
