The Shopaholic In Me

Orange is the lucky color of the year as most people say, yes including some feng shui experts;) So lately, it is orange in my mind…

I love this Jessica Simpson shoes I got from my retail therapy in the US. The colors are vibrant, orange sides and fuchsia top. Isn’t it lovely?

It would be perfect to partner it with this…

My orange Tod’s D bag. I’m one happy lady in orange when wearing this. Hope I can really get lucky!!!

This is the Speedy Bandouliere…ok, I myself is also having a hard time on how to properly pronounce it

I have special fascination recently for cross-body bags. I love bags with long straps now after experiencing it with my Mulberry Alexa in a couple of trips that I carried it. It makes you hands-free and you can easily maneuver especially if you have children around. I am “wishing” that I could get another easy-to-carry (another cross-body) bag before the year ends (poor me, I don’t think I could get one just yet) Sad Face But this new LV Speedy is one of the candidates. I wonder if LV will actually release this style in damier. I would probably like it more.

For the meantime, I can only wish that I’m as skinny as the model on the picture! Lol!

As I was looking for brochures printing stores in the mall yesterday, I came across this beautiful satchel bag. It’s the Cambridge bag. This brand is gaining popularity recently in the country. I have seen a couple of girls carrying the bag. I am actually thinking to get the red batchel (with handle) at 15″ as it fits a Macbook Pro. I need a very sturdy and nice looking travel bag to lodge my laptop. I saw one in one of the branches of Chocolate Shu Bar and its actually waiting for my reservation. Let’s see if I am going to buy it.

No, I am not getting a new Louis Vuitton as a christmas present. I was just browsing through their site which I haven’t done for so long now. In fact, I was just checking options for best term life insurance, lol! And the husband caught me browsing something else!  The only one that caught my fancy is this one…

The above is the Artsy GM. But I am still not too sold to it. With its price of $1630 in the site, I think I would rather get another Balenciaga or an Alexa! (wink!)

So before I even make a research about l-dopa as I am helping my cousin for his term paper on amino acids that could help in increasing body energy, let me confess  that I made about 5 purchases of LC bags in the past 3 months. Yes, trying to make it as a collection.  What are those? (sorry, I actually haven’t taken any decent pictures with these new purchases. Got in Hongkong the Raisin Planetes and the Limited Edition of Great Wall of China. Courtesy of friends, who bought for me, I also got the LC Statue of Liberty, Red Cabas and a small pink planetes. The small one was really very tiny, I miscalculated the size based online. Now, my eldest daughter is claming for her first ever Long Champ.

The husband and I were just talking about Mesothelioma lawsuits that his friend is actually facing, when I got caught up right in the middle of our conversation for the arrival of a package from friend. Guess, what it is? Yes, another Long Champ bag. But was actually disappointed when I opened the box. It wasn’t the one I am expecting. I ordered the Pink Planetes online and have missed out on the size i clicked during checkout. It was small. It was actually too small. It could just pass as a bag for my daughter. So now, there’s a little girl who is so happy…

My twitter friends are addicted to Long Champ bags. It’s funny how one can influence one to get new Long Champ bags. From Le Pliage, to Planetes to now limited editions. I am one of them. After the eiffel tower, these are my new limited editions. We are all convinced that we should all get one since we are asians anyway. Not just one but two when I went to Hong Kong. My girlfriends are ecstatic after I brought home their LCs as well. Meet my new multivitamins, lol! Not a health vitamins actually but my own doze of vitamins :p

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
