Hula hoop wheels by Chanel … ?
Well, hell, I feel I’m missing a trick here … isn’t this the perfect design for a wheelchair ‘wheel’ bag? Who’d a thunk it – from Chanel! Though I’ve no doubt wheelchair friendly design was not actually on Mr Lagerfeld’s tick list when he came up with the idea … wheelchairs are so NOT Chanel, […]

Don’t know about you but I am waking every day with a to-do list as long as my arm, getting up determined to destroy it and ending up surfing the web for yet more Christmas … things. I’m not even a jewellery person, particularly. Junk jewellery at a stretch. In fact, when we were burgled, […]
