Tony Bianco ‘Asara’ Heels Review

This is Asara by Tony Bianco, one of their latest designs for 2013.
Pictured above in Black Capretto, Asara is also available in Sand Capretto which is pictured below.

Asara is a simple yet stunning strappy high heel which features one strap across the toes, and then an ankle strap which has a gold chain detail.

Entry is super easy via the zip at the back.
The heel is 12cms high which is in my opinion, high enough for a strappy pair of heels like these.
You really wouldn’t want to go any higher considering there is no front platform or anything, and there really isn’t much shoe there.

12cms is comfortable enough to last you about 4 hours with no pain but after that, prepare for some blistering.

I personally adore the black version. You always see black teamed up with silver, so I like how this is something different.

Asara retails for $179.95, which is fair.
Get your pair from the Tony Bianco website. If you spend over $80, you get free postage.
Plus if you’re a member of Tony Bianco’s loyalty program, you’ll receive further discounts plus points.

Hi Everyone !

So I just wanted to drop a quick line to tell you all about my new blog called ‘My Chaotic Kids’.
It’s here on WordPress, so it’s at:

It’s basically an entertaining blog about the daily tortures that my 3 kids put me through, how I cope with it and the level of madness that I reach on a daily basis !

I hope you all find the time to have a quick peek at it, and I hope you enjoy reading about my hilarious and crazy daily life.

Oroton Neon ‘1938 Barrel Bag’ Review

All I’m saying is ‘wow…’.
This is Oroton’s Neon Collection 1938 Medium Barrel Bag.
Available in 2 colours, we have Neon Limestone and also Neon Coral.

Personally, I love both. The colours are just so rare and unique, plus it’s not every day that you see Oroton featuring neon colours like these.

The 1938 Barrel Bag is one of Oroton’s timeless classic pieces, which they release every season in different colours.
These neon ones are a medium size, which measures: 31w x 21h x 11d cms.

These bags retail for $495 on the Oroton website. I haven’t been able to find them for sale anywhere else just yet as they are the latest release, but I can tell you now, that they will be very hard to come across.
If you want yours, your best bet will be to get one from Oroton before they sell out. It’ll be quite a rarity to find one on eBay.

The Neon 1938 Barrel Bag is crafted from supple oil vegetable leather which is super soft and smells divine.
It also come with a detachable shoulder strap, so you can carry it a couple of different ways.

On the front, there is a designer embossed logo plate with the founded date on it. All the trimmings on the bag itself are black, and the hardware is gunmetal, which looks gorgeous against the neon leather.

The main compartment of the bag has a zipper closure.
On the front inner wall, there are 2 pouch pockets, and on the back inner wall, a small zipped section.

Overall, the bag is a great size for every day use. It’s not too big, but not small either.
Perfect to carry all your daily essentials plus a bit more.

Oroton also has this bag in a few other colour variations at the moment, which aren’t from the Neon Collection.
They have a Black/Tan colour combo and also a limited edition Mesh version, which is more expensive.

I have managed to get my hands on the Neon Limestone colour, so hopefully that’ll get delivered to me in the next few days. I’ll try to post some pics of the actual bag once I receive it.

Alot of you will be thinking, yes it looks great, but it’s not going to match anything..
What to wear this with ?
Neutral tones, other brights, regular old black..
It’ll add a modern pop of colour to any outfit, and it’s sure to be the eyecatcher of your outfit !

Loving it ! Good work Oroton !
What a young and modern twist on a bag that some might deem as boring.
