Celine Trio Family: latest update

In the past, I have made a post about my Celine Trio Family (check here). However as I continuously update my bags I then have decided to let go one of my Celine Trio. The decision was based on the fact that I have several mini bags and green was not my favourite colour. So my Celine Trio in grass green (check the green Trio here and here) has found a new home.

Now I only have 4 Celine Trios which are all under basic colours. I think I am at the stage where I have enough of mini bags and would seriously seriously think (and think) when I am about to acquire another mini bag.

Celine Trio Family

Without further ado, please meet my Celine Trio family. I can't believe that now I have 5 Trios already and I still want more lol (thinking of purple and hoping Ms Philo would release purple in the coming seasons).

The first Trio that I bought was the black one in 2012 (check here), followed by the red one in 2013 (check here) and the blue one was then added (check here). And this year I got saffron Trio from Spring collection (check here) and grass Trio from Summer collection (check here).

Trio has been my favourite bag for going out with the kids. It is roomy, very lightweight and the leather (made of lambskin) is surprisingly durable. Love it.

I am pretty sure that this small happy family will have a new addition in the near future *wink*

Orange Accessories

Showing off some of my orange accessories.

The wallet is in fire opal from Bottega Veneta's FW 2011 collection and the envelope clutch is in mandarin from Balenciaga's SS 2009 collection.

Gosh... I just realize that I have had those clutch and wallet for years and I still love them now.

Red Accessories

These are my favourite red accessories when I attend a formal event/reception. Normally I just need to add a little black dress then I am ready to go...

What's on the lounge chair

These 3 bags were very very busy last week because they were on duty. I wore my Diorissimo when I had lunch session with dear friends and when I spent the Saturday night with DH. Whereas Givenchy Pandora and Celine Trio were actively used when I went out with the kids or run some errands.
Currently the Givenchy Pandora has been my favourite daily bag in the past 2 weeks. Honestly I never thought that an odd-looking bag (i.e. it has asymmetric shape) can be so comfortable and easy to wear. The leather itself is so wonderful and durable. Well, I had to thank to DH for introducing me to this great bag that lately has become my favourite bag.

Bag of the day: Diorissimo in Bleu Persan

Last week I paired my Diorissimo Blue Persan with beige pumps from Christian Louboutin. This pair of beige/nude Prorata 90 pumps is one of my favourite shoes. It is comfy and flattering my feet.

I'll tell you something. I am the person who lives in her flat shoes most of the times. I can't stand the height of those killer heels. Frequent sessions of pilates does not help me much on this issue. So yes, most of the pairs in my closet are flat/ballerina shoes and wedges/mid heels simply for comfort reason, and I think that I would not force myself to change this fact haha

What's on the lounge chair

Those bags were on duty a couple of weeks ago.
I had black Lady Dior, orange Lindy and saffron Celine Trio. They are my favourite ones which are definitely worth keeping.

A small rendezvous at Le Quartier

I have a confession. I had this post in my draft folder for around 11-12 months. I simply forgot. Therefore, I warn you that this is a very very late post.

However I remembered that it was during a rendezvous with my friends and at that time we really liked the interior/decor of the restaurant. When we visited this place, they just opened for business! So everything was new, the place was not too crowded and food was awesome. In conclusion, we had a great time.

I carried my Chanel Biarritz that came very handy because I can keep my Canon DSLR camera inside this bag. Until now I am still in love with this bag and I think Chanel Biarritz is a keeper ;)

On the way to Kowloon

Note: This is a very very late posting...

The pictures were taken 3 months ago while I was in Hong Kong. It was during a warm and sunny day and I took the Star Ferry to cross the strait, instead of taking MTR rides. As always, I enjoyed the stunning view during the crossing.

My bag of the day was my old and loyal Balenciaga City in black. The bag was from 2010 and I can't believe that I still adore the bag 'til now.

Bag of the day: Goyard and Tulisan tote bags

I was in the pilates studio on the other day, and brought 2 bags as usual. One bag is for the pilates gears/outfit and the other one is my handbag (i.e. Goyard St. Louis).

Goyard St. Louis has been my favourite daily bag in the past 2-3 months. It is very lightweight and the material is easy for maintenance. Recently I have been thinking to get another Goyard bag and I would not mind if it is another St. Louis. I simply love this tote bag.

The question now is what colour should I pick? *wink*

Bag of the day: Fendi 2jour Orange

Occasionally I still got few compliments (from strangers) whenever I wore this bright orange bag ;)
Maybe it's due to its colour or maybe the ladies that I met knew about Fendi bags ...
Anyway, any compliment (not only about the bag) would always make me happy and I think giving a sincere compliment to others would give the same 'happy effect' as I usually have ;)

Superb afternoon tea at The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel Mumbai

 

 

 

 

On one afternoon after having a Mumbai city tour, we decided to make a stop at Sea Lounge, a restaurant inside the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel that has been famous for serving the best afternoon tea in Mumbai.

 

And it turned out that coming to this place was a highlight of the Mumbai visit. The hotel itself has a long history as it started to open its door in 1903 and the design and details of the hotel interior are just spectacular.

 

 

The food

We ordered the afternoon tea set for two and to our surprise, it was a buffet afternoon tea. The traditional 3-tier serving plate was still delivered to our table and we still had the opportunity to take any cakes, savoury pastries, chocolate, pudding, scrumptious desserts, iced tea and of course the Indian small bites (samosa, etc) from the buffet table.

I tried some delicious Indian snacks (well almost all of them tasted so good) that instantly became my favourite. But I was too busy (for eating) to take notes of the food names. So I don't think that I would remember the name of the food for our reference on the next order (if we ever visit to Indian restaurant in our hometown).

 

 

 

The view

We sat by the window overlooking the grand Gateway of India. We could also watch the small boats/ferries taking off from the pier (next to Gateway of India) that carried tourists to Elephant Island. It was an amazing view indeed and a perfect spot for enjoying afternoon tea.

The ambiance

The Sea Lounge has a warm and elegant atmosphere and the restaurant was full house during our visit. There was a piano player who kept entertaining us for the afternoon tea session.

Well, with those nice food, best companion, amazing view and good (live) music, I had a superb afternoon tea and I simply could not ask for more.

Bag of the day

It is not a secret if Proenza Schouler PS1 is my favourite bag whenever I am travelling. The leather is very durable and PS1's many pockets are very very handy. For this India trip I carried the one in dark red. Check the midnight blue PS1 here when I brought it to recent China - Hong Kong trip.
