Yes, yes, yes.....it's totally been a lack of interest on my side to blog but don't get me wrong, I have been feeling a tad guilty about it. However, I am now feeling the mood again and thus, here I am to make good on it. What comeback post would one expect from moi if not for a completely frivolous one that had all to do with my favourite thing to buy - HANDBAGS! And if you call yourself a fashion follower at all, one should already be aware that Rebecca Minkoff is a designer that is always in the mix of the fashion set. To those who thought Rebecca Minkoff was an actual woman I was having a dillatante moment in the arts of same-sex relationships, well, sorry to disappoint, that isn't the case.
What I can affirm is I think at this point it's safe for me to actually come out and state that I and Rebecca M have the same taste in handbags. Rebecca M designs the bags that I, Zlena, love to buy. To date, I have in hand 4 of her bags from the Morning After range accoutrements. Without further chit chatting, please meet Jules.....

I honestly wanted to wait till Black Friday but well, 25% off to get the bag likely by next week versus waiting till December to have the bag in hand tipped the whole thing into instant gratification's favour :D Coupon code FAMILY25, you temptress you! All in all, inclusive of customs and duties to my Homeland, my handbag haul came to USD552.76. Which is still less about USD120 than I would have paid for the two pieces RRP. And they ship DHL which means I'm assured of the lovelies arriving in timely and safe conditions. Perhaps even in time for my overnight trip back to former Workland this coming 25th. Am going back to pick up 2 luggages I left with former colleagues as well as see aforementioned peeps. It's been an adjustment being back home - mostly great. The not-so-great part is even though I earn more now than I did when I was posted overseas and I am in an actual managerial position, I have less to do and even less money when all is done and dusted at the end of the month. Turns out it is true that the more money you get, the less you seem to have. Okay, buying 2 handbags doesn't actually help and I really do have to get my finances in order cos I can't keep up the same lifestyle I had when I was in another country. Sigh, that's really for a whole other post. So, YAY HANDBAGS!
