The little bag that could...

We saw the tan version of the Muse Two in the Yves Saint Laurent store in San Francisco a few months ago (you may have seen the blue and gray version of it in the YSL SS08 ad campaign featuring Kate Moss). This is definitely one of the most exquisite luxury bags that we've seen lately. It's just beautiful! Here's a peek at some of the versions of the bag that are available now.

Columbia Road Flower Market, London

Columbia Road Flower Market in Shoreditch is the prettiest street market in town, not too far away from London Fields and Brick Lane. Every Sunday morning, market gardeners and garden centers completely transform this cute little Victorian street. The best part is hearing all the cockney geezers in their east end accents shouting their market pitches ('ORRchids ORRchids get 'em while you can.....2 for a tenner!').
