Would you believe me if I would say that this beautiful, classic bag is more than 20 years old?

I don't have any clue what brand it is, but it comes with wonderful memories and history. After Soviet Union collapse when Latvia got it's freedom my dad with my great-grandmother went to visit our German relatives to Germany. World War II and Soviet Union have split our families for many decades. He came back home with lots of wonderful goodies which he have bought and some was given by our relatives. I guess this bag already had a wonderful owner who decided to give it to us and I couldn't say enough thank you to her, because I and my mom have shared this bag for over 20 years. Yes, yes it wasn't sitting on shelf looking pretty we was pairing it with many looks to many occasions and everyday. What strikes me more is its amazing quality. This bag don't have any sign of wear and tear and believe me we have wore it a lot. 

When my mom last year was coming to visit me it was first what I asked for to bring me. Instead I bought her new bag, was feeling a bit guilty that she is left without this beauty.

Peace, joy and ♥

 The weekend is gone and I miss it already. I need a day between Saturday and Sunday. We had relaxed weekend staying home and watching movies. The weather still is weird and Saturday was like step back into winter. So strong winds, rain and cold. Sunday at least came sunny, it felt less cold. We went for long walk and we took quickly these photos. I wanted to capture this blue and double denim look. I kept this look in the same colour scheme and added just some accents with gold belt (which looks in photos somehow tan) and bag in red and white stripes which have navy accents matching with my shoes. So everything kinda match.

Peace, joy and ♥

Our life is somehow build on stereotypes. Maybe someone had a "great" idea how to make everything more "simple", but he/they have forgotten that we all are unique and we can't everything put in one basket just because someone said so. Lately I've been thinking about all these stereotypes which should make life easier, but I don't think it does. Wedding most beautiful day of your life, quality cost more, particular brands in wardrobe define how stylish or wealthy person is, desert or soup is not for breakfast, at certain age everyone should be married and having kids,  etc. All those odds and ends sometimes people drive into depression and what is most ironically is that people practice them. I know some of you now will say: " no, I don't live by stereotypes". Believe me you do, we all do- more or less. I'm delighted that slowly, but surely we take steps back from them- wearing gold and silver, mixing colors and prints, red lipstick with T-shirt, having kids after 30, there's housewives and there's business women, etc. Everyone bit by bit begin to understand that we all are different and we all live differently. Most important- kindness.

p.s. my lip print socks paired with high heel shoes maybe for someone will be big no, but I think they are too cute and what's life without whimsy!

Peace, joy and ♥
