I'm a huge fan of black, but even more so particularly during the summer.  There's nothing cooler than shunning all the floral mambo-jambo out there in favour of something a bit more hardcore, and a chunky black tote is exactly what you need as the weather heats up.  

Step forward my pick of the best, a foray of thick dark leather: simple, oversized and luxurious.

  And no, they're not cheap.  But whoever said the best things in life come free has obviously never shopped at Liberty.

Probably not what you want to look at after consuming crazy amounts of chocolate, but due to my recent hiatus (brought on by S.A.D related exhaustion) I felt an overdose of aesthetic goodness was necessary.  Plus I swear the laptop's running slower these days with its overloaded folders.  And funnily enough, after what I've consumed today, I know the feeling...

It's been a while - my apology this time comes in the form of a click'n'save overload for your viewing pleasure.  

In the meantime, I've been dreaming in Celine & that curiously mid-season combination of chunky coats & bare tanned legs...and living for the day the sun backs up the appearance of the latter.
