Hermes Kelly 28 at Shangri-La's High Tea

Kelly 28

If someone asked me what my favourite Hermes bag is – I’d be hard-pressed to choose between the Birkin, Kelly, and Constance. After all, they are beautiful in their own way.

But if i had to choose the most versatile one, the Kelly 28 in Gold wins, hands down.

The Hermes Gold colour matches anything in my wardrobe, and goes with any twilly. It’s a great size for carrying the essentials and more, and the additional bag strap definitely comes in handy.

For those who have requested for OOTDs – Outfit Of The Day shots (you know who you are), there you go.

Handheld

Ignore the pink sneakers. I swear I had meant to wear black shoes, but somehow ended up slipping into the most comfortable pair of ASICS sport shoes on my way out. Ah well.

Afternoon tea at Rose Veranda

Not too long ago, I brought the bag for Afternoon Tea at Shangri-La’s Rose Veranda.

Afternoon Tea

Throughout the afternoon, the Kelly 28 sat right next to me on the couch.

Hey there

My friend, who joined in for tea that day, commented how the colour was so neutral, so under-the-radar, that the Kelly 28 practically blends into the seat / background, without looking conspicuous. You’d practically need to KNOW what a Hermes Kelly is before you’d notice the bag.

Shangri-La Singapore

When Afternoon Tea was done and dusted, we leisurely strolled around the hotel.

Staircase

Shangri-La Singapore is beautiful – the lobby has high ceilings and we considiered this one of the most elegant hotels in Singapore.

I’ve done a family staycation at this hotel before (booked using American Express FHR rates), and it definitely did not disappoint. Since then, I’ve definitely looked upon Shangri-La favourably, and the brand consistently delivers excellent service and experience.

It’s in the presentation too. The hallways to the ballrooms were spectacular.

Corridor

Beautifully carpted walkways, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and hanging chandeliers lined the corridor. What’s there not to love?

And then, there are the bathrooms.

This bathroom actually has a somewhat sweet and floral fragrace. Either they sprayed something in the air, or the lady before me had too much perfume.

There is a school of thought that says, one can tell how luxurious a hotel is just by looking at the bathrooms. You definitely can with Shangri-La Singapore.

I love empty bathrooms

All in all, it was a wonderfully relaxing day. Hopefully we’ll be back again soon.

Thanks everyone for reading!
