The Shopaholic In Me

I have all these bag shapers for my long champ bags (medium and large le pliage and planetes)  and most of my LV bags (my speedy bags and neverfull). I actually have one too for my black Prada. The bag shaper forms the bottom of the bag without having it look too soggy when you have your stuff inside. It also organizes your things in a flat surface so you can place your bag stuff neatly.  And the good thing (wink!) is that I am selling it!  Should you have another bag that needs a flat surface, I just need the dimension of the bottom part and i can have something custom made. Send in your comment should you want to order.

WTH is she thinking?  This is Paris Hilton as she embarks a trip to South Africa for the World Cup!   There was a news that she was detained for few hours in the airport of SA as she was suspected of carrying marijuana! Maybe, that’s why she needed all those luggages! lol! Picture and more stories were from Purse Blog.

Purple has becoming a favorite color of most. And for some bag lovers out there, the term “raisin” is so popular especially if you talk about Balenciaga bags. A friend recently purchased a Balenciaga Bag in raisin. Glad that she finally like it after being hesitant to get that color for herself. I was her back-up plan since she offered the bag to me. Oh, thank goodness, I was spared or else, I am in deep trouble

But checking out the site of Long Champ recently, I am liking this too…

This is part of their Fall/Winter Collections.

of getting myself the best anti wrinkle eye cream when we were in Las Vegas, I got myself this:

Yes, another Long Champ. This is the Planetes Croc Brown. I just can’t get enough of Long Champ bags. It is totally addicting. I think this is already my 5th piece. Got 2 LE Eiffel Tower and 2 Le Pliage. And oh yes, recently bought another one online since it was on-sale.  In fact, I still want the customized Le Pliage with my name.  I love the bag because it is so easy to maintain.  A perfect “to go” bag!

from the husband was this… (sorry for the crappy pics from my iPhone)

It was his personal choice and I just love it! Thanks to the husband for this wonderful gift! He is usually doing away by giving me any designer-related stuff. So my accumulated collection were all coming from my own hardwork (read: sariling kayod!)

It’s a start (wee!) He is already giving me designer bag as a gift! Wishing this won’t be the last! (hahaha!)

I wonder if I would be able to bring home a new bag from the trip! I am wishing Santa can give me an early present!  It’s my birthday anyway in 3 weeks!  

I thought I can already order this…

But wow, I am surprised of the hefty price of $50 for just the shipping! Hmm, i’d better just order together with my friends to save on it. I’m again practicing my EQ! I’m so proud of myself! lol!

There is a craze recently about Long Champ.  And I saw this nice limited edition from one the resellers that I usually go to. No, I didn’t buy it.  But it’s so pretty!  I love the thicker material used on this than the usual le pliage.  But I am a scared cat to get one since it is white.  But the reseller said, she has the exactly the same bag that has been swamped by the wrath of Ondoy.  After washing it off, she got it back on it’s nice pristine white color.  Hmm, now I am thinking…

Yes, I am officially a convert to those Motorcycle Bags! Just love everything about it. And after reading a number of posts from the Purse Forum, yes I am convinced that it’s a perfect bag for my wardrobes, lol I have never looked on bags this way before. So what I do love about it? Well, I totally agree on what Amanda Mull of Purse Blog have written here. If you are a bag hag who love designer bags and don’t own a Balenciaga yet, then i suggest that you read the article.

The article link is about 5 Reasons Why Covet a Balenciaga Bag in your lifetime! (pun intended )  In a nutshell, Amanda talks about the following:

1. Lovely colors created only twice a year. Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter Collections. Balenciaga creates the most beautiful colors from neutrals to jewels to neons and even the brightest and boldest ones. A color black released for 2009 is a different black to what was released for 2010. Doesn’t it make exciting? Balenciaga fans are actually on the lookout when new colors are released. Likely, there’s a nice one to get per season collection.

2. Balenciaga has the widest selection of styles and shapes. Even coin purses are available. Clutches, hobos, totes, shoulder bags, messenger bags, overnight bags. Sizes differ also. There’s a perfect shape and size for everyone’s figure and height.

3. The leather is so fluffy and soft. It is also so light. But can also stand wears. Balenciaga bags are known for its durability. No question on that

4. It is a modern bag. For me, it’s the new age bag. A City for example can be worn as hand-carried, shoulder type because of the long strap or clamped on your arm. And the hardware used on each bag is your bling-bling! They are known in Balenciaga language as Regular, Giant, Covered. You could have a choice of Silver or Gold Studs or even the new one as Rose. And the tassels are so edgy. But with colors you would choose, you could be really be known as a fashion girl.

5. Balenciaga is a hard to find bag. That’s why I love it even better. In store here in Manila, they only carry one piece per color per style! Can you imagine your authenticity and uniqueness if you are spotted with one? But still, it is one of the most sought after bags of bag hags all over the world and even hollywood celebrities! The brand in itself is hard to find both online and in stores. I know most are even ordering from US or UK countries to have their Balenciaga bags shipped here in Manila (I’m one of them! lol ) Not all countries have flag stores. Not everyone would know how to spot a Balenciaga. There’s like an exclusive club only who could. And if you are worried about fakes, it is not as widely copied as Vuittons and Guccis. And if you own one, you could easily spot a cheapskate.

Now read more the article link above.  So why am I posting this?  Oh well, it’s just that I’m a convert so you would likely see few additions to my first ever Balenciaga bag

of what I picked up from Johnny Air Cargo…

(the pictures don’t do justice as to how beautiful it is IRL!)

It’s my first Balenciaga! Hopefully not the last It’s the City Silver Giant Hardware in Canard (S/S 10). I love it! I know this has not been my first option since I was set to get a Black Part Time SGH but it wasn’t able since my order last November. Imagine the waiting time? I was even ok to get an Anthracite color and even changed my options to City or Day bag but still no avail. I guess it wasn’t really meant for me.

But so glad this was offered to me and I just heart this!

When worn…

It’s finally, finally here! The wait is over! Happiness to the max! Was so happy when I got a text message last friday that my package was ready for pick-up in JAC-Megamall. I really had to rush there after my late night meeting to beat the closing time. Glad I made it.

Yes, they said it is sweeter when you wait and it is indeed! I am overwhelmed actually after seeing what’s inside this box To say that it is a beauty is an understatement, lol! Really, can’t explain but it is drop-down super mega over gorgeous!

I’m happy I made the right decision and choice.  Thanks to friends who helped me through this ordeal, lol! (you know girls who you are)

It was really worth the wait! Can’t contain my joy!

Thanks to Jane for buying the above LeSportsSac Large when their family went to Guam last January. I actually failed to get it the last time we were in Guam last November. I trusted her instinct and I was so happy with what she got for me. Not to mention that the price is also a great steal!  On sale at $83!!! I love the prints! It would be a perfect weekender bag/carry on bag to hold the girls’ stuff  for our trip to US. This would do while I “still cannot” afford an LV Keepall 50!

meet my Galliera Azur PM (my first in Azur line).

Guessing that this would be almost my last LV purchase since I have atleast one of each line. (except the Denim, Suhali, Mahina and Nomade which I do not have plans of getting).  Just wishing to have one Keepall and I’m done!

Time to move on…
