| + | <div id="js-article-text" class="article-text wide"><h1>Mimi Spencer: I'm in love - with a handbag. Unlike Kim Kardashian, however, I'll just ogle it, not own it! <br></h1><p> By </p><p></p><p><span class="article-timestamp"><strong>UPDATED:</strong>23:01 GMT, 11 May 2013</span></p><p></p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;"></font><p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">I never thought I’d fall in love again. But here I am lusting, positively lusting,Mulberry sale, after…a handbag. Gawd. I know. How idiotic. The days of It-bags are long gone, their demise coinciding broadly with the rise of George Osborne and the death of hope. <br></font></p><p> </p><p> <font style="font-size: 1.2em;">The idea of spending north of a grand on a couple of flaps of leather and a shiny brass buckle is not only utterly ludicrous and impossible, it’s oddly anachronistic too,ray ban 3025, the kind of thing Kim Kardashian would do (rule of thumb: if Kim does it, best not to).</font></p><p><font style="font-size:1.2em;"> These days, we’re supposed to be beyond all that. Sober and sensible and…sorry. Did you drop off? Wake up! I’m talking about HANDBAGS!</font></p><p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Just recently, you see,ray ban,Gavin and Vassell to put unbeaten records on the line in unification showdown, I encountered the laser-cut tote by Azzedine Ala?a,cheap ghd, in antique rose leather,Bungling thief targets four-star hotel filled with, the soft blooming colourof a baby’s cheeks. This is the kind of bag that sits on the shelf and whispers your name. Or perhaps it purrs.</font></p><p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;"> It’s big enough to carry your shopping, but rather incapable of doing so, as it is perforated like a doily. So it’s completely silly, a bag full of holes, a bag that ought to be carried around in a sedan chair, a bag of flimsy dreams which you could ruin simply by taking it to the shops. <br></font></p><p><font style="font-size:1.2em;">But it is so pretty that, no matter how you look at it (and heaven knows, I have),ray ban aviators, it has the capacity to transport. </font></p><p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">If I’ve learnt anything from a career in fashion, at its roaring heart and more lately on its periphery, it’s that we humans respond to beauty. Just lately, that instinctive response turned into a brute craving – see something, want it, must have it,ghd sale, buy it. <br></font></p><p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">But I sense a change in the air. Tougher times mean that we’re back to the days of looking not touching, admiring not owning. I quite like it. I feel about the Ala?a tote as I might about a painting in a gallery. <br></font></p><p><font style="font-size:1.2em;">When I was in Florence recently, I spent a good 20 minutes looking at Leonardo Da Vinci’s The Annunciation. I just wanted to look. Of course,ray ban sunglasses, it didn’t cross my mind to want to own it. In those appreciative,Travel deals The best websites for...finding holiday deals Mail Online, ruminative moments, I saw a world in those brushstrokes, and basked in the mastery of perspective and colour and form. As I walked away, it was with a buzz of true happiness.</font></p><p><font style="font-size: 1.2em;">Consumerism and the compulsion of ownership came to define our age,cheap ghd, and it served to strip these quiet moments of reverie out of the equation. Very often,ghd straighteners, beautiful things, once carted home in their divine tissue wrap, had lost their magic, leached of the vitality that drew us to them in the first place.</font></p><p><font style="font-size:1.2em;"> Perhaps now we can revert to enjoying a momentary pleasure, a pocket of beauty, without seeking to bag it, tag it and drag it home to our private lairs (in my case, a very full wardrobe which could barely handle another sock, let alone another handbag).</font></p><p><font style="font-size:1.2em;">I’ve always known that this is the enduring power of fashion: not the trends that come and go, not the must-haves and the shopping sprees. But pure beauty. We haven’t had much time to notice beauty of late. But maybe that’s just what we need when everything else around is so goddamn bleak, the sky leaking rain, the world eking out a living, endless people on the news in pain and seeking solace. </font></p><p><font style="font-size:1.2em;">I shan’t ever own a laser-cut tote,Mulberry handbags, of course. But I’m glad I’ve had the time to stop and stare, a chance to dream. </font></p><p></p><p> </p> </div> | ||
