Your purse is on fire!






The days are getting longer, José Mourinho's back on the front pages (ooh another middle aged crush?) and me and Mr That's Not My Age are planning a spring mini-break. So this week I'm as giddy as a Sex and the City fan with a bag of cupcakes from Magnolia Bakery. And if I had money to burn, I'd be investing in fab New York brand, Tucker. I'm feeling label love for this collection of sassy floral print shirt dresses and tunic tops, designed by former stylist, Gaby Basora when she couldn't find what she wanted for a fashion shoot. Smart and chic, Tucker has a certain Diane von Furstenburg appeal - and wouldn't look out of place in SATC 2. You can forget double denim, I'll be wearing my jeans with this leopard print blouse, oh go on then, throw in the Mulberry bag and that's my holiday wardrobe sorted! Now all we have to do is decide where we're going.




What would you wear for a weekend away? And where should we go?


Tucker is available from Net-a-Porter, Liberty and Harvey Nichols.

I am so trying to forget double denim... bad trend! I love that top outfit... and love your referral to as giddy as an SATC fan with a bag of cupcakes! And the only other thing I have to say is... Paris! xx

Am loving those tunic tops - gorgeous.... think may have to look at those in more detail! x

Rebecca said...

I like what YOU'RE liking - in that top photo. I'd probably throw in a simple black skirt with a black belt to wear with that tunic top for dinner in the evening?????

Paris would be great, I agree...

A great collection, love all the pieces. Agree with thatgirl, your cupcake comment made me chuckle! and as I am looking to book a Paris break for eldest daughter who is 21 in June, I too say, Paris!

Hi there-you picked some lovely pieces here!! If I was to choose a mini break, I think I'd go to Brighton-I've been lots of times, but I love it!!

My purse is kinda burnt out, but I'd wear something long, flowing and exotic in a distant location far away from all computers...

That's Not My Age said...

ThatGirl - I'm liking the idea of a trip to Paris on Eurostar!

S-E - lovely aren't they?

Rebecca - thank you. And I think a maxi skirt and belt would work well.

Looking Fab - Thanks & looks like Paris is a popular choice.

SR - Brighton would be nice, haven't been for a while. And with the money we'd save on train fares I could buy another tunic top!

Susan - ditto my purse but long, flowing and exotic works for me.

Oh yes I can just see you in that top outfit. Very you. Love it too. Where to go...I know, go visit Kate in Munich :-) Oh or Tracey and Stuart in Boston. xxxx

Oh a mini break, love it! I've always fancied Seville.

Old Jose hey, I've had a one night stand with him too!
PS I've tagged you - v old skool I know!

Am off to New York, can't wait. Where will I find this Tucker shop? Also need ideas on other retail establishements to fit in between trips to the Met, Statten Island ferry and drinks up the Rockerfeller. All ideas gratefully received.
