LOUIS VUITTON 'NEVERFULL' BAG

The sight of just the paper bag is enough to make my heart skip a beat -
how sad is that?! :P


Louis Vuittion 'neverfull' bag in Damier print



Whilst shopping in the new Ion Orchard in Singapore, I made a beeline for the Louis Vuitton boutique, which is huge. Absurdly, we had to queue to get in. It was jammed packed with people inside, like there was some sort of mega sale going on. Sadly, there was not. Everything was full price (LV never goes on sale), we're in an economic recession, yet people are still merrilly buying their hearts out.

Well, if you can't beat 'em, JOIN 'EM! ;)

Spent over an hour with Mum trying on various bags, making the poor salesman drag down bag after bag for us to paw. He was absolutely lovely though, really attentive and patient, despite the store being so crowded and us taking up so much time. Poor Dad was left on the couch where he was so bored he eventually got up to look for us :P After much deliberation, Mum decided she wouldn't get a new one after all... but I DID!!

I actually walked into the store intending to get the Louis Vuitton 'neverfull' PM bag. But whilst I was there, I spent ages trying on different bags, wanting to make sure I got the "perfect" one. After all that, I still ended up reverting back to the Neverfull.

I just love how it's incredibly light but sturdy, can expand out if I need to stuff it, and has thin handles (the thick ones slide off my shoulders). I also like how it's waterproof and won't get dirty easily, and how there's no huge LV logo(s) all over it. The downside is that it's the most popular bag, so every bum on the street has it too. D'oh! It was the reason why I was looking to get another style, but in the end I decided I love the Neverfull too much :)

Mine's the Damier print and whilst Mum has the identical bag, hers is the Monogram print. It's the small PM size, because the larger ones dwarf me. It fits beautifully on my shoulder and makes the perfect, casual, everyday bag. I'M LOVING IT :)

PROENZA SCHOULER PS1 MEDIUM BAG

I've been lusting over the Proenza Schouler PS1 since January this year, when I first laid my eyes on this beauty. I saw it whilst surfing the net, in passing, and was quite taken by it... then shortly afterwards I started seeing it appear on the arms of young celebrities - namely Leighton Meester (whom I love on Gossip Girl), the Olsen Twins, and Kristen Dunst (really like her as an actress). That fuelled my lust even further, except I had one tiny problem.......

The bag is always sold out worldwide, and comes in very limited numbers, and even more limited colours. I called all around the USA, and even to the UK, to no avail. Everyone was "sold out" of the specific blue leather Medium size that I wanted.

Then, I found this online boutique that had it!!!!!!! It took me about 7 months to finally find it and get my hot lil hands on the bag, but it was well worth the wait. I'm just blown away with the smell of the leather! It has this incredible rich, strong leather scent.. so much so I keep sniffing at the bag like a crazy person.

The leather is really soft, and I adore how the bag is quite structured, yet the leather is really soft and slouchy. It makes the PERFECT work bag because it's plain and professional looking enough, yet it has "me" written all over it (mainly due to the soft leather, which basically all my bags have).

There are lots of compartments and zipper pockets, great because I love to have everything in its own place (very obsessive compulsive about that). And I can carry it as a briefcase, sling it on my shoulder, or wear it across my body - love bags that are multipurpose.

Best of all is the leather scent though... man it's intoxicating.... *goes off to have another whiff*

LE POMMIER leather shoes

Bought some divine 100% leather Japanese-imported Le Pommier leather shoes whilst in Singapore! I like really random, loud stuff.. and these shoes are just hilarious - they're mismatched and totally cute :P Made totally of leather, they're also super soft with a padded sole, and the small chunky heel means they're really comfortable. The cute leather appliques are totally adorable, and make a cat and birds-in-a-tree design - soooo cute! Plus the strap is removable so I can wear them as pumps instead (but I have to put in a heel-grip to make the shoe smaller since I'm about a size smaller but they'd sold out). Really love 'em, now I want them in more designs :P

MIU MIU 'vitello lux' bow satchel

After a particular difficult/tiring/stressful day at wrork, it all came to head and just got too much for me. So you know how people turn to alcohol to reduce stress? Well, I guess I found out that day that I turn to shopping instead :P So I walked down the road to The Corner Store @ The Strand Arcade, and saw this GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS Miu Miu "Vitello Lux" handbag!! I've actually been eyeing it for quite a few months - I'm keen on a big bag to chuck all my things into, and I specifically want it really slouchy and soft, and leather of course. This fit the bill perfectly but I haven't bought a handbag in AGES (*proud*) and so was a bit reluctant to fork out the $$$$$$ for it.

But then when I'm stressed, things happen, so I got it :P At first, I put it back and walked out the store.. but 10mins later I decided I had to have it and walked back in and bought it! Bwahahahhahahhaa!!

I'm LOVING it. It smells unbelievably good, and is so soft and roomy inside. I like the neutral colour so it can just be my casual daytime bag to chuck all my junk into. And to help alleviate the guilty pleasure, I'll sell my Balenciaga rouge vif City bag to justify the purchase, heh!

I love the leather bows and smooth gold hardware!

Yeah I know it doesn't match my dress! It looks
better paired with jeans and a cute fitted tee


Vanessa Hudgens has it too, whee!
Except it looks way more chic on her, d'oh
