Sign, Sealed, Delivered

Messenger satchels are a dominating trend of late with their structural formality and fashionable function. Incorporating business brights with clued-up character, these bags aren't meekly for decoration. Every girl needs a bag with the ability to store countless items without adding a disheveled and disorderly aura. For someone who strives for organisation and practicality, the holiday season seems to enhance my inner nerd with a manifestation of lists, post-it notes and stationary galore. The utter shambles projected into my handbag has become diabolical, yet a remedy is never far! I have scouted out the bulky, slender and suitably stylish aspects on these must-have pieces all year round. I am giddy with the affirmative results of these architectural beauties and cant wait to get my hands on a new messenger satchel. Take a peek for yourself at the varying vibrant colours as well as endless practicality. Hmm, another thing to add to your Christmas wishlist? I for one think yes!

Oh La La!


When day dreaming where in the world you would most want to spend Christmas, the city of Paris always seems to allure my every thought. The romance illuminated by the twinkling fairy lights, sipping hot cocoa on Christmas Eve adjacent to the brilliant Eiffel Tower, strolling the streets at night under the star spangled buildings. Lucky for some, this will be their exact reality and for two of my dearest friends, as I am currently living vicariously through their French endeavors. While we are miles apart these Parisian pics will have me sedated and satisfied until I can truly get a taste of this indulgent culture. The elegance, romance and fantasy encapsulated in the city of Paris are breath taking. Take note from the fashion powerhouses situated in this antique city and add embellishments of red and gold into a neutral outfit for that epitome of French style. Accentuate any Christmas inspired ensemble with classic cuts and a scale of black and white for a regally traditional look. Shabby chic is the road to success this season and these merry french inspired ideas will soon have you saying Oh La La! Add burlap or brown paper to your decorations for a hint of that rustic charm, and spread the holiday cheer with dashes of red over your oh so white Christmas. With creativity and elation around every street corner, Paris is absolute the city of Love this festive season.

{Add hints of red in either a cushion, baubles or candy for a traditional Christmas set up}

{Stand under the Eiffel tower in Christmas Eve is a must do! Amazing}



{Do it right with Chanel, and this french polish will have you wishing for a white  Christmas}







{Style fades, but Fashion is eternal. Only in Paires}










{Braid your hair this season for a gorgeous french twist!}

Que votre aventure, vous mener à la joie et inspration
