Long skirts and Converse

I bought this skirt from West LA boutique in Sunset Mall, Dubai the other night. I loved the floral print, the way it flowed and the fact that it was one size fits all - gotta love that! I didn't even know who it was by until I got home and saw the Brandy Melville tag. Then I got a bit excited because it's one of those "YouTube" brands that I hear North American girls talk so much about - including Tricia...check out her video here - Link! :)

I love the whole look of maxi skirts with Converse so decided on a dressed down affair when I went to dinner in Jumeirah. It was also an outing for my birthday present - AKA the Alexander Wang Rocco in black with rose gold hardware.

I have to say that this bag is quality...the metal detail, the feel of the leather...it's just special.

Before seeing it in real life in Seattle, I had only ever spied it on blogs and honestly, photos just don't do it justice. When I saw it in Barney's, on display, the striking hardware hit me and I absolutely fell in love. I fell in love with a bag. Cue lots of umming and aahing about buying it - in the end I didn't because I didn't feel that I deserved it. You can imagine then how I felt opening up a massive shopbop parcel on my birthday :)

Yes it is about 100 times heavier than a Focco and one arm may end up over-developed but it's a beauty.

Now of course I am perving over other Rocco's...the Mercury with silver hardware? Swoon! Link!

Apologies that the pictures are so dark - this was just before the sun went down! Here are some other pictures of me wearing it at an event the other night for the shop Rivaage! And PS. the love affair with the feather printed Topshop trousers continues :)

  

I hope you are having a lovely week :)
