My Mulberry Alexa

I got this new baby of mine during our recent trip to London. I've been contemplating whether to get a new LV or a Balenciaga. I've been reading post and review regarding the Balenciaga as "high maintenance" and honestly, hubby doesn't like the style..sorry for the Balenciaga lovers out there. So, he asked me to get something else. Since I got a new  LV Speedy Multicolore he suggested I should get a different brand this time.
I read bout Mulberry Alexa bag from different bloggers and it's getting a positive feedback from it's functionality, weight, maintenance etc. So, I decided to get one for myself  with hubby's approval, of course!
It was love at first sight when I saw it at WESTFIELD in London. The rich purple color (PLUM) is really stunning and will definitely add color to any wardrobe.They also have the iconic Bayswater which I really liked but the Alexa won coz you can wear it in 3 ways...as top handle, shoulder bag or cross body bag because of its removable shoulder strap.
Currently retails roughly USD 1,200.00 but you can avail the VAT Refund if you live outside EU Union.

London Sightseeing

The City of London has always been included in my travel wish list. And just few days ago another wish was granted. We visited this beautiful city for almost 12 days with hubby and my daughter.
We've been travelling extensively for the past 2 years...Asia, Europe and U.S. and most of those trips we had limited days and time and  we opt to take guided tour or Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour. However, this trip was different coz we decided to purchased an Oyster Card which we used to roam around the city whether by bus, underground or railway (zoning fare applies)  
So,come join me as I give you a quick tour.

Greetings from London!! Quick Update!!

Pardon me for not writing any blog for the past few days. Me, my daughter and my hubby are presently out of the country and spending 2 wonderful weeks in London and Edinburgh. We will be back in Riyadh in 5 days time.
I haven't written any blog from this trip. However, I am saving all my stories, news and tips to write when i get back home.
Btw, I've seen a glimpsed of the Pope in Edinburgh on our way to the airport..lucky me! How i wish we could have stayed a day to see him. Anyway, it was a good experienced though.
Tomorrow, we're off to the biggest open market in London..its Wembley Sunday Market. Hubby's friend will take us there and hope to find a good bargain. I hope my body will cooperate with me..gee! I've been feeling tired and nauseated for the past couple of days because of my pregnancy.
Anyhow, I've been enjoying our stay here especially the very nice weather.
So, that would be my update for now and see you soon!
