In between working longer hours (including some nights and weekends!), Christmas shopping and end of year parties, I was lucky to find the time to attend the Belle Bijoux launch of the Carmen range this week – and glad I attended I was!

Did someone say ‘colour’? Yellow and Pink – the most perfect summer shades – were in high demand as we perused the new collection, named for Carmen Miranda.

With luxurious leathers, drool worthy colours and up to date designs, the Belle Bijoux bags are the perfect summer accessory. Visit Belle and see why you should be at the ball this season.

Mention must also go to the West Beach Bathers Pavillion. A divine location and St Kilda put on a gorgeous sunset.
