I and Love and You

If you're a regular reader here, you've read through copious amounts of posts of me waxing eloquent about how I have exams. Since the past 3 months. 3 months' worth of posts starting with the same sign off. Kind of exhausting, right? Well, I have some news.

THEY'RE OVER. OH YEAH, YOU HEARD ME. I SHOULD PROBABLY STOP TALKING LIKE THIS NOW.

Does that not make you want to run out and do a jig? Hell yes, a jig.

So, anyhow being a blogger and a fervent writer for various other publications, lugging my laptop around constantly is a must. But how do you show up at a fashion show or at a designer's studio with the ugly black hideosities Mac/Dell provide you with? So anyway, onto awesome-r things. A few weeks back, the folks at J'Tote sent me their "Colette" laptop bag! *happy jig* YEAH-HUH, I JUST SAID JIG. Now, mostly, I just stash my laptop into the hideous bag Dell provided with it (sorry you guys, I still love you) or into a giant tote but this, this taupe beauty is just fabulous. It looks like a chic oversize clutch but surprise, surprise, there's a detachable strap at the back for easy lugging around. It's perfect, really, because I am forever holding onto my trusty Dell and/or Macbook awkwardly and getting snide glances from randoms. So now I'm like- HA HA SUCKERS, look who has the shizziest laptop bag of them all! Hang onto your ickyass Apple slings while I cruise around being awesome! I'm actually seriously contemplating buying the Meredith, though because I need one for each. You guys should seriously check it out. Maybe you'll end up being as badass as I clearly am now, armed with this little beauty.



J'Tote specializes in gorgeous designer laptop bags.You can go check more out about them and maybe buy yourself a Colette here!

On another note, I've been reading House of Versace by Deborah Ball because my dad is awesome and got me a truckload of fashion books for my exams ending. It's fantastic. I'm only through with about 4 chapters so far but my two greatest loves; history and fashion, combined in one book about a label that I respect so much (under Gianni Versace i.e.) sums up to perfection. The book tells the story of the man who, from his humble beginnings in Reggio, South Italy went on to become one of the most venerated, iconoclastic, powerful forces in fashion history. It has portions dedicated to his mysterious murder, his love/hate relationship with siblings Donatella and Santo, his rash decision to bequeath his entire empire to his 11 year old "principessa" Allegra, his endless VIP fans (Princess Diana, Elton John) and the tedious list of women he made celebrities overnight (Liz Hurley-remember the safety pin dress?, Naomi Campbell, Carla Bruno, Christy Turlington, et all) and, of course, his fierce rivalry with Giorgio Armani.

I urge anyone who's interesting in finally unveiling the shroud of mystery settled on one of fashion's most respected families.

I'm going to close off with this quote:

                    "Armani may have dressed the wife but Versace, he dressed the mistress."

I have some great things lined up for FabBlab! Going to catch up on some more reading now!
