Welcome to today’s post. I am happy to announce that the package I have been eagerly awaiting since last Summer arrived the other day! Those of you who connect with me on other platforms may have spotted this already, but won’t have seen the “proper” reveal.

Here it is in all its glory!

Yes, I ordered a new-to-me handbag design from Marco Massaccesi: the midi Hera. The amazing leather is Persian Green Diamond calf, with silver hardware. The colour is a greenish turquoise (or you might say turquoise-ish green) and will look amazing with my navy outfits. It is such a statement bag that will probably work best without other stand out items to distract from its beauty. Having said that, I had a look through my scarves and realised that these two would possibly work with it…

First, Hermès’ Plumes en Fête:

And also Hermès’ De la Mer au Ciel:

Both of these scarves have lovely blues and greens in the pattern. Here are a couple of photos of the scarves with the handbag. What do you think?

In real life the colours go really well together. The lighting in this room is not the best. The Plumes en Fête looks particularly lovely with the bag, but the whole effect might be too much! I will have to try on the whole outfit and see: navy cashmere v-neck jumper, navy trousers or jeans, navy boots and fairly unobtrusive silver earrings.

I have a big and very serious meeting coming up and an outfit like this will really help my confidence, which is shot to pieces at the moment along with my health!

Oh! I almost for got this! I already had a small amount of the same beautiful leather: this wrap bracelet that I bought ages ago. This would go with the outfit too…

Happy Weekend to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
