A PINK -TRIMMED TRANSPARENT BAG

The term "arm candy" originally described a very attractive partner or escort, who gave status and glamour to the image of the person with them.  Now, in fashion talk, it's often used in the context of designer bags.  Well yes, I think that a beautiful designer bag can certainly add chic and class to the wearer, even if they are dressed very casually or simply.

Designer bags never came cheap but they used to be quite classic.  Now, with the super brands bringing out new styles each season, the latest model has become the "must-have"!

Whilst I would love to go to Saint Laurent, CHANEL or Celine and treat myself to a lovely bag, at the moment, the High Street has to be my shopping destination! Actually, there are some very attractive bags now in the "fast fashion" shops, often saucily taking inspiration from designer trends. 

For Spring, I have been adding pale pink and transparent touches (makeup and accessories) to my mainly monochrome wardrobe, so this pink-trimmed transparent bag from Primark was exactly what I wanted. 



It contains a small white purse bag inside for those items I don't want to show and has a chain strap.


It catches the light very prettily when worn.


I also have my nude pink nail varnish,


Now I'm looking at transparent highlighters that add a luminous and translucent glow to the complexion.

NUDE PINK NAILS - CHANEL LE VERNIS IN ORGANDI (504)

It's the 1st May today! I've been painting my nails red in one of my favourite colours - CHANEL LE VERNIS in Rouge Red (546) - for some months now and I think it's time to change to a different shade for Spring. 

I always find CHANEL LE VERNIS Longwear Nail Colour to be a really good nail varnish. Application is easy as it goes on evenly and smoothly and two coats dry to a perfect, shiny finish. The colours are always so chic and so beautiful!  This time I wanted a pale pink, so I went along to the CHANEL beauty counter to try out 3 shades:-

Ballerina (167), a very pale baby pink with a sheer coverage

Nuvola Rosa (588), a very pretty pink, still pale but with more coverage

Organdi (504), a nude pink, also with more coverage

I was torn between Nuvola Rosa and Organdi but in the end I chose Organdi, (in the photographs below.)








I am very pleased with my new Spring nails!
