The Shopaholic In Me

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…

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…

My husband has been talking non-stop recently about cars, new vehicles particularly SUVs! While me, on the other hand, talk non-stop about bags, more bags! lol! But seriously, he was even checking out latest releases from abroad, even those car leasing sites from US and UK. He’s obssessed with SUVs, giving him sleepless nights while me on the other hand has been getting eyebugs already thinking about the balenciaga bag of Kelly! Anyway, the bag is another story. But the husband even told me about BuyYourCar.co.uk. The site that offers a great way to own a car whether you just lease or own new and used cars. They have links to competitive loans and even have independent Car Reviews. Now, he’s wishing there is something like this in the country.

is finally over!  The “new baby”  arrived yesterday through a very kind client who bought this for me in a store in Pennsylvania.  She even hand-carried the item for me! When I opened the dust bag, I so love its Scent! It’s like a scent of the perfume Gucci Envy! No kidding! 

I have been haunted by this design and I have been hunting it from stores abroad since it is currently not available here in Manila.  Thanks to my writing abilities, it is indeed a fruit of my assigments after saving my online moolah for almost 6 months.  And thanks to the husband for my birthday cash gift, the gucci pelham is now mine!

I just so love LV’s Epi NoeS (in Tan, Black and Yellow). Doesn’t it show?   I can just dumb all my stuff inside the bag, but of course, using my able “bag organizer.” And yes, I am collecting different colors of it. 

The Yellow Noe which is the most recent addition is the most good quality among the three.  Although the two has been like 90% brand-new, the yellow is like 98% new with no tarnish at all and even a very fresh smell inside it.  But mind you, it was the cheapest, among the three that I got.  

I think I need a red next time!

and I thought we would! lol! But got word from husband last night about the good news that he got a recent pay increase. Isn’t it great? This is a good blessing to help us pay most of the appliances we got through deferred payment in credit card! But nevertheless, a Payday Loan is a good option in time of need. And what better way to actually get it is to source out online for those No Fax Payday Loan available.  As in other companies require individuals to fax financial documents before approval, this is not the case for the payday loans mania.  Would refer this to family and friends instead.  For the meantime, I hope the husband would give in to my request for my bday present on June.  The pay increase would be of help!  Hope he is reading this!  Hahaha!

are lined up properly on the top of my closet. Bought a clear case to hold them properly so I can easily see them and decide which one to use for the day, but still keep them dust-free.  The rest that i do not use often are kept at the back.  And oh, I’m hoping to add one very very soon! Please, please, please!
