Bye Bye LV Recoleta

I sold her last night and she's gone an hour ago on her way to Minnesota. I put my LV Recoleta for sale because I couldn't bear seeing her sitting inside her dustbag-not being used because of her small size. Despite being discontinued by Louis Vuitton, the bag is as new, even the protective labels were still on it.

I'm sad, but I'm glad she found a new home. I hope the new owner loves her as much as I do. Remember this picture? There she was sitting at the most front next to my Balenciagas :-(

TGIF!

Yay, it's Friday! Back to work after the holiday season is the hardest. It's been so cold lately, but you won't hear me complaining. I can so totally have winter forever!

Off to Debbie's birthday party tonight. Having margaritas about now looks so appealing~

ODJ: Black turtleneck from Gap, Skinny jeans by AEO, Boots from Nine West, Coat bought from Sydney's chinatown (yes, seriously), LV Monogram Speedy 35

Hunting For a Perfect Everyday Bag

I don't know what is the definition of perfect haha. I just want all features in one bag. For example, with my Balenciaga city, size is great, have zipper, you can use the long strap or you can do hand held. Almost perfect. But what I found, it's so hard to zip and trying to find things when I use the long strap because the bag is really slouchy (and this is a problem when I use the long straps 90% of the time).
My Chanel camera bag is lovely too, but since the chain is really one chain that you can use either as double or single (I normally use it as single), I just cannot grab things easily from there and it gets flatten at the top, if that makes sense. My classic flaps are off limit. Too heavy for everyday. Gucci Hysteria is fine, but without a zipper. I don't have complains with my Balenciaga Day (maybe that's why they called it "Day" to begin with- so that you can use it everyday), but yeah I just need a new one, either black, burgundy, brown or blue tote- not too big but enough for all the stuffs I carry.

These are the contenders so far:
Prada Saffiano and Tessuto Tote

Prada Cervo Shine Convertible Bag

Louis Vuitton Stresa in Azur (not available till early 2010)

Chanel GST

I have to say that it's too bad that Chanel is the most expensive of all. I love Chanel, but this time I'm divided, thus the reason I put the Chanel as my number 4 option. I heard ladies were complaining that the GST straps keep falling down. I love the Prada that Miranda has, the price point is a lot more attractive at this point, my second favorite is the Cervo Shine, it's so roomy just the way I like it. The LV, well..I cannot wait till February 2010 (typical me), so I don't know. If I'm stuck then mayyyyybe I will wait till then. What do you think?

Family Portrait

I finally took the time to take pics of all my bags rather than doing a bags show.
Here they are, sitting pretty for mommy. Not even my coffee table can accommodate them all.
By the way, I was exhausted by the time I finished with the photo shoot. I never thought this was such a hard work! *run to Chipotle for Burrito Bowl*

From San Antonio with LOVE (loots!)

It started with this place...LOL

Then my car's backseat have these...

Duh...when I got home, I took pictures of my loots! OK, my LV 2010 agenda refill is not exactly loot, more like NEED, but I'm still happy with what I got. I didn't take a pic of my top from Anthropologie. It's kinda hard to capture what I want to show (the flutter sleeves). Oh well..I will take pics when I wear them.

TOP PRESS: Fendi outlet is about to open in San Marcos. I was there on the way back to Austin to see what Gucci outlet have. Oooh, the SA lady was effing rude @ Gucci (again this is Gucci at San Marcos). She looked at me as if I was a tourist or something and she's asian too. Shame on her. Knowing me, I don't mind spending $$ and help you get that commission if you are nice and helpful. But no, you don't deserve it and I don't appreciate you grab the bag off my hand as if I'm going to run with it. You mess with the wrong customer-BIG TIME.
I say, if you go to Gucci outlet, deal with the boys. They were lovely and polite to me unlike her.
For now, I would rather donate my money to either Saks in Troy Michigan or NM in San Antonio.
