Sweet treats



Take any girl my age and ask for her definition of sweet treats. Some may speak of decadent vices in the form of Laduree assorted macarons of every flavour there is. Whereas I would go for a huge wardrobe of gorgeous bags and shoes. And what would be a huge sweet treat for me is the day that babu would finally say, "yes you can use any of my bags." 

Knowing how babu really is, she would never say such sweet things. Only once was I allowed to use one bag from her wardrobe but I didn't take the opportunity because the bag didn't "fit" the occasion. Question: since when do bag sizes matter?



Now the question as to why babu would not let me use her bags is not because she doesn't trust me with things (truthfully no one should ever trust me with their things) but because I don't deserve to flaunt bags that cost more than my rent. Although, most of the time I have the vilest ideas of sneaking out without her noticing that her Chanels are missing. But I guess this is a lesson for me. She never actually buys these bags but they are all gifts from babah since she is making a good job in keeping all of us grounded. 

I guess these bags are the special kind of sweet treats. And like every sweet treats, they taste better when you have waited long enough or saved enough to pay your rent!

On a side note, I had a quick lunch at Fish & Co followed by tea at Matadoe with the 2 dapper friends of mine, Mu'izz and Aqil. Coincidentally, all three of us were wearing chinos of the same colour (great minds think alike!). Change of rules: On Tuesdays, we wear beige now.






much love,
