Thank you to my amazing client/friend who sent me a gift certificate to one of my favorite on line shopping destinations, Shopbop, as a very kind thank you gesture. It was totally not necessary, but I won't lie in that I am very excited about how I put it to use. Today a box arrived at my door, and inside that box was another magical box...

Since I'm always combing the internet for one of a kind items for my clients (and at least window shopping and wishing for myself), I saw this Flutura Embroidered Bag by Temperley London, and I had a small fainting spell. It was on sale, and only three bags remained, so I immediately pulled the trigger.

Made of dyed Alpaca, silk and embroidered twill, the bag seemed to gently, kindly, lovingly call my name... "Whitley, Whitley..." It speaks to my bohemian side in a way so few others have.

The bag is now sold out through Shopbop but appears still available on the Temperley London site, along with the dress, dinner scarf, shawl and clutch and slippers. Luxe drool worthy embroidery for days....
