KIKI'S NEW JIMMY CHOO CHILD

Okay, let me not beat around the bush. For weeks now, I've been showing Lilian pictures of this bag on my phone. And I know it's absurd, and that as a Very Hungry Caterpillar you should also be satisfied with the things you have (I am too, by the way), but around Christmas time, I get short-circuited.

Now it's also on sale and oh dear, I never said I have a strong backbone when it comes to spending money. In Paris it didn't go well either, eh. With a faster beating heart, Lil and I cautiously expressed to each other last week that maybe, just maybe, a big hit is going to drop again soon. Just because a little itch has arisen that needs to be fed. Guys, you've long since checked out here, I get it. Girlfriends, nice that you're still reading along.

‘Suddenly I found THE BAG under the Christmas tree...’

I've been obsessed with a certain model of Jimmy Choo for a while now. The obsession is called the Lockett Petite (click here here if you have no clue) and they are amazing little bags with studs on the side and a clip on the front. While others want a simple, basic bag that is timeless (yawn) and stays that way, my bags and shoes can't be flashy enough. Basics? Not for me. My motto: long live the fun and crazy colors, right?.

And then it was Christmas Day. I see an extremely beautiful Jimmy Choo box under the tree. This can't be... this... this is... (the box is opening) THE BAG. Under the Christmas tree. Convulsions on the left. With kind regards from the JC Santa. I don't even remember exactly how the evening ended, because I think I went out cold, foaming at the mouth. The next morning, I woke up with my arms lovingly wrapped around the new child in bed. I mean: a bag like this deserves to lie softly and not catch a cold, doesn't everyone know that?

‘We all say that it's really a very good investment, one you absolutely won't regret’

Yep, call us all crazy, but in fashion editorial offices, it's really a big deal when one of your colleagues buys (or receives, even worse) a new designer bag. That just has to be written about. That bag has to go to the editorial office the next day, it needs to be felt, smelled, we do little dances and all shout that it's really a very good investment, one you absolutely won't regret and you'll have fun with for yeaaars.

Dear Jimmy, I find you completely festive for New Year's. And with your flowers also for spring, so I think it's going to be more than fine with us. YES, I DO! Will you arrange the town hall?
