Loafers Are Ballet Flats For Grown Ups!

Dear Lovelies,

I've had my favourite pair of ballet flats for ages now. Im actually talking years here! Simple, black ballet flats which I always found classy and suitable for everything.
After dragging them everywhere - to clubs, to the other end of the world - they have finally inevitably tendered their resignation.
With a little tear in my eye I looked at my now shabby and old looking, always loyal companion and was wondering if I should replace them with another pair.
Now, you might say that I've picked that trend up quite late, but I'm convinced it is an age thing!
I'm finally ready for my first pair of loafers without feeling too old or too serious.
So instead of  investing into black plastic ballet flats I decided to invest into a beautiful black suede leather pair of Diana Ferrari loafers. The elegant golden chain, the slim cut and the material quality were enough arguments for love at first sight.

Cross Body Bag - Mini M.A.C. by Rebecca Minkoff

Dear Lovelies,

I remember these years when a woman's bag couldn't be large enough - the bigger the better. Big bags are still around and one of my favourite bags is quite a large one too. However, I feel like there's definitely another trend in the making. Women simply don't feel like carrying an XL bag with them whenever they go shoping, or go on a city trip with their loved one (the larger the bag, the more stuff will inevitably end up in there!)
And going out to a club? You wouldn't even consider an XL bag.
Convenient but elegant is the new requirement. The new generation of Cross Body Bags has it all.
I personally like the small ones with a fragile chain instead of a leather strap and with delicate silver or gold hardware. There's so many beautiful cross body bags out there,  but I lost my heart to the Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.C. (Morning After Clutch)

These Mini M.A.C.s are full leather bags which come in so many different colours which makes it extremely hard to decide which one to buy. I've narrowed it down to the ones with a heart on top but would be happy about any comments from you guys.
