when it's simple, understated, practical yet elegant ;)

i can strike this off the wish list now ... :)

that reflection you see in the mirror is me... not some stripe wearing 'hantu' :D

eeny meeny miney mo!

given a choice, which would you pick?

both pics of the Celine luggage totess were taken from Celine's website, for their 2012 spring / summer collection. no, i am not yet getting any one of them. it's just a random question. i'm pretty keen on the navy one. cause it's entirely made of leather. means it's durable and lasts longer. but the canvas would be a slightly cheaper option if i do intend to get one. but it won't justify the amount spent albeit slightly cheaper cause it's basically made of canvas with leather trimmings.

over the years I've learnt to buy bags that are both durable and lasting in style. i like those that 'whispers' understated elegance (the correct word would have been 'scream', but doesn't make sense when your choice isn't something loud to begin with)... :p but you get what i mean...

and leather bags are just awesomely good. i love the smell of leather. expensive leather especially. it's really nice and no, it does not remind you of steak. we are talking about the leather here, not meat. and the more used the leather, the softer it would be and the more vintage it will look.

okay, enough bag talk... the focus right now is not to spend unnecessarily and too much. i need to put a temporary stop to all this till i am sure that I've enough to spare for everything.

I  think i should share this very  pic before i end this post. hehehehe... my  BB camera sucks big time but yes, I can already strike one off the birthday list. this should keep me company for a good couple of months now. and yes, I am indeed grateful. Alhamdulillah... :)

lazy tuesday

it's quite rare seeing hubby bringing work home... LOL...



Tangan X tanda protest

although it's pretty normal to see our son doing his homework over the weekends or while on his school break...

may you become an oxford scholar one day, insya Allah! :)

I decided that i need to do something too, although it won't be work related (cause i'm efficient like that)... :p so i decided to perv over these two instead...

Happy happy joy joy!!! :D

need vs want

I am in dire need of a sling bag. I realised that I do not own one. well, I do have loads of bags with an extra strap to get by but a sling bag per se? nope... none... nada...

I used to have one, and having used it for a trip abroad i decided to make do without it cause i don't think it suited me after all. sheesh, i'm sure some of you would already be rolling your eyes thinking (and aloud for some) it's just a sling bag... just get any you see and get it done and over with!

oh, but I don't work that way. that's why my life is sometimes extra complex. onn nomm nomm... -_-

i've been eyeing the tod's pashmy luna for a very very very long time. and now that they are no more in stores it makes me want it even so much more! of course there's the price to think about. i swear that i could get it waaaay cheaper in bicester but the cost of airfare, hotel, transport.  guess the prices put up by some blogs out there selling actually justifies the price for this one.

there's also the MBMJ preppy bag and if you are talking about durability, MBMJ's nylon or leather would last longer. but tod's pashmy are just lovely. i've a few tod's in pashmy and i could attest to that. i'm torn now (all for a sling bag? sheesh!)...

but i really am in need of a sling bag. i really need one now and i should get one pronto!

p/s: now that i'm looking at both bag pics on the same page, i think the MBMJ has a nicer look and definitely would not burn a hole in my already torn pocket!! :D
