Vacation haul

How can I travel without shopping!!?? Right? ;-)

After so many years together, hubby dearest also understands this :-D So he readily let me take a half empty suitcase on our vacation cause he knew that there is no stopping me. In fact, he was a real darling and helped me in my shopping .. so sweet na? :-)

My last few trips have been official and hence I have been alone when exploring a new city. While that has its own charm, I was so happy to have my better half with me this time ... it was more fun exploring and also shopping! And he has a very good eye for what looks good on me - which means a perfect hubby for a blogger :-D

So before I share stories and pictures of our vacation, I will share pics of my haul. For some reason, I went nuts about purses on this trip and so there are not many clothes in this haul.

Hope you like my haul. Do let me know what you liked best!

PS: Can anyone guess where we went on vacation based on the pics? The clue is in one of the pics (a very easy clue) :-)

First up are the purses - have taken a special liking to smooth and shiny bags. And always wanted a round bag. Found the perfect one!

Love these souvenir bags. They are perfect for the weekend and the white one is big enough to pack for a weekend away :-) 

You would have guessed where I went by now! And getting clothes in my size in this country is not easy. Still managed to get a dress, a glittery top and a pair of jeans :-D I have never owned a pair of skinny jeans because given my petite size, was not sure whether they would suit me. But will give these a try and would love your opinion when they feature on my blog.

And last, a pair of cute round sunglasses, lip gloss and some jewelry. This jewelry is special to Toledo. It is called damascene which is the art of interlacing gold on iron or steel, then firing it so the underlying material oxidizes and becomes black, with the gold in sharp relief. Love these pieces and will be wearing them a lot!
