The happy high life, by a happy high wife
A hotel-staying, fine-dining, and doing it at a discount-where-possible kind of blog. And I love bags, too.

THE BAG LIFE
Chanel WOC (Wallet on Chain) in pink with crystal CC logo
It’s a classic, and it is all of these: mini, pink, beautiful, and adorned with a crystal-embellished CC logo. This may be the Chanel’s most beautiful version of a WOC (Wallet on Chain) that I’ve ever seen.
Chanel Business Affinity review
Chanel Business Affinity review: this dreamy baby blue’s from Chanel’s 22p collection. While endlessly chic and cute, it has one major flaw: the bag doesn’t always support itself and has a tendency to fall over.
Saint Laurent mini camera bag @ St. Regis
On some days, all we want is a (i) minimalist bag that holds our daily essentials (ii) that’s in a neutral colour and (iii) absolutely easy to use. Look no further than the Saint Laurent mini camera bag.
