Tokidoki Trend

I'm a trend-a-holic. I love discovering new and cool things before anyone else, and wiping them like a dirty bottom as soon as they become mainstream. I know, it's ridiculous, but it's a rush when I discover a new "next big thing".

So you can imagine my joy when shopping in Chatswood Chase's Hart and Heim, and my daughter stumbling over and falling head over prickly heels in love with a Cactus Pup from Tokidoki. To then discover that this absolutely cool and funky vinyl toy has a cosmetics range was almost a little too much for me. I had to go and have a cup of tea and a lie down before posting this, so that I could contain my excitement long enough to type.

This edgy and magical world was created by artist Simone Legno. The japanese inspired caractors are the inspiration behind the spin off make up line available from Sephora and the characters and t's etc I found at Hart and Heim

My very first Mulberry bag was their signature "Bayswater" bag! it kinda reminds me of the super fabulous Hermes Birkin but without the $15,000 price tag! it's super roomy, light weight ( Hermes Birkin is heavy!! ). The oversized Alexa bag I got today is an updated version of the "Bayswater" bag with a twist.

" It reflects one of the maor seasonal themes of schoolgirl naivety and effortless charm" , said by Mulberry.

The bag is made of buffalo-leather satchel-style shoulder bag with gold-tone hardware. Mulberry bag has a plaited top handle, a detachable shoulder strap, a fold-over flap with magnetic press-stud fastening buckled tabs, a twist lock fastening at front, tabs at sides to adjust, internal pouch and zipped pockets and is fully lined in designer-stamped gray twill.

• This oversized handbag fits over the shoulder, across the body or can be worn in the crook of the arm.

• Width 15" / 38cm x Height 12" / 31cm x Depth 6" / 16cm

• Handle Drop 2" / 5cm and the long leather strap can extend up to 50" long to wear across the body as a messenger bag

Ok, here is a photo of me modeling my new Mulberry Oversized Alexa ! ( I know I am not a model size but just wanna show y'all this pic for the proportion of this bag against to a male fashionista's body, and it's truly a fabulous UNISEX bag! )
