Great purchases PB. I recently tried an Oak Mitzy Messenger (with every intention of trying to find one) but my ever opinionated DH didn't like it on me - he likes structured bags! Oh well!

I love the Somerset too, would love to see one of those irl.

Can I just say as well that I love your dress (or tunic) - can I ask where its from?

Poppy bagfan · Oct 30th, 2009, 05:12 PM

Oh thanks you all!

Flossie - how lovely! My name on here is Poppy because of my birthdate, but then i relasied that everyone would think i was a Mulberry poppy fan!

CF - yes - i was rather cut up about it....it is a darn good fake and i probably would use her still, but.....I am very reluctant to give her away but then could not sell her either....I bought her because i loved the style - she is still that style and the leather is fab too....i feel slightly annoyed with self that the love has slid away just because she is not officially a proper mulberry...she is the same bag she was when i thought she was real...iykwim

OD and KLP - lol at your two opposing views!!! Actually DH has only bought one - the other i funded from other sales.....so i only need to put one away...

Hi Ali,

It is a black long tunic with wings on the side from Zara i think, but also over that is a very thin knit long flared cardi from Zara too! wore with leggings today for comfort...

Many thanks

Ooh I love Zara! I have an amazing flared black cardi from there, everyone thinks its All Saints when I wear it but I got it for buttons in the sale! You have amazing taste!

Poppy, glad that your loving Mitzy, it looks amazing on you.

How great that you can change the straps around and make different style bags.

Poppy bagfan · Oct 30th, 2009, 05:24 PM

Thanks SHM!

OD - thank you! I tend to spend my money on bags, bit less on shoes and my clothes are generally not designer....mixture of Zara, other High St chains (Principles, Wallis, Top Shop - more in the past, the odd M+S, bit of boden for knitwear, Next or Top Shop for jeans....) nothing really special..I like really plain stuff and so tend to buy what i like, but i do love shape, and so have several pieces that are distinctive by shape....I love Clothes, love copying the catwalks but have worked really hard over the last 2 years (since turning 40) to tone down the high fashion into something more seemly!!!

Many thanks for the compliment tho!!

I know that store well, must have spent about 3 hours in there on a recent girls' trip. Ali-B is right, you look great.
