Has anyone else had a rough September? Mine has been one of the toughest months ever. Today I am only looking at things that make me happy, and Camilla Engman's work is exactly that. I am a fan of her "Collections" series, but there is so so much more on her website, camillaengman.com.

From Camilla's bio: "Camilla Engman grew up in a small Swedish town named Trollhättan. This is where she began looking at life from a perspective that most of us see only momentarily, and just a few are able to record."

Camilla's blog is also a treat.

Gray Chic

In my mind, gray is always such a chic colour.

nymphenburg series: model and mold archive

At the Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg's model and mold archive, 30,000 original shapes are stored. Shapes going back hundreds of years, some no longer reproduced regularly, but can be made again by special request. The Nymphenburg craftspeople pull only 15 shapes from a mold before it is discarded. That is incredible to me. I pull over a hundred shapes off my molds, but I don't mind the variation in form that happens as a result of wear on the mold. I welcome the differences.

It's inspiring to see so many molds all in one place, they are so sculptural. I appreciate how much work went into each mold, it takes hours to create a precise one. I have to go for a visit.

Valextra: Bag Obsession

The beauty of Valextra bag is it's simplicity and luxury without shouting out loud 'hey I am Valextra', unlike others. This Milan based brand speaks of style and sophistication. It is not for the woman who seeks attention, but for the one who delights in the satisfaction of quiet opulence without the need for loud logos or monograms. Valextra bags brilliantly exude sophistication with simple structure and clean lines - minimalism at its finest.

Who loves it - Katie Valextra Obsession

When it comes to obsession, Katie Holmes sort of tops our list. First she had an obsession with Chanel everything then it was her Chloe Paraty Python Bag, further she could not be spotted without her Roger Vivier Mikado Flat Bag.

And now Katie Holmes has got a new obsession - her white Valextra's Slim Shopping Tote Bag. Its sleek and stylish basic shape makes it a great handbag that can be carried with just about any style.

Valextra has been popular with celebrities since 1937. The great thing about the bag is that with its minimilistic chic you will be able to use it everywhere for years to come.

If you love clean, structured and chic bags like Valextra, you must check out Matt and Nat luxury vegan bags. They're a better buy, considering they're ethical and cruelty-free while being stylish and smart at the same time. And yes, even they are celebrity fav.
