Well we don't get much of a Coach handbag selection here in South Africa. Nor do we love, love Gwyneth Paltrow, who has been invited to be their face and brand ambassador for their 70th anniversary celebrations. But look at her in the just-released advertising images. Doesn't she look happy? And breezy and beautiful. I'm sorry, but a spot of sunshine in anyone's day is a jolly good thing. So I set aside my Gwynnie skepticism and enjoy these images for the sunshine and joy they evoke. I hope you do too.

Thanks Vogue.com for the images.
