[my Halston pleats]

I ordered this gorgeous Halston Heritage metallic silver pleated dress during the net-a-porter sale what seems like ages ago and it finally arrived tonight!!! It's just as I imagined it. I love the way it is styled below played down with the leopard flats and black leather jacket, it toughens up the lightweight silver fabric and makes it suitable for day.

[vintage rhinestones]

I have been waiting very patiently for a few little parcels to come through my letter box. So I was so happy to see 2 waiting for me when I got home today (one arrived last week).

I am a little obsessed with vintage rhinestone jewellery at the moment and found these delicate pieces after scrolling through alot of junk on eBay.

I thought it would only make sense to post beautiful bags as the first post for The Satchel.

The first being my one of my own "sienna" from French label nat and nin- it has been the perfect size shoulder bag and an even better hand clutch that fits more than your phone and lippy! I love the colour because it works with just about anything.
