New in My Closet :: Phillip Lim x Target Collaboration Haul


Hello Everyone!

This was the first time I've ever lined up for a designer collaboration with a mass market store. My friends F & C went with me to line up. I woke up at 5AM and got there by 6:30AM. I was approximately 10th in line. I was super excited to get this purse since its an authentic $35 copy of the Phillip Lim 3.1 Phashi mini bag which costs ~$700CAD! It was the only item I wanted. Despite being 10th in line F managed to snag the last 3 - 2 black and 1 brown. My friend C got the cameo shirt from the mens line. Note to future design collaboration chasers - doesn't matter what position you are in line. Once the doors open - run like crazy to the stuff you want first. The racks were cleaned out within 10 minutes.

I've been using this purse for the last few days and it's wonderful! I love the crossbody option as well as the top handles! I also love the fact the bag is able to be zipped up and the front pocket is magnetic for easy access (it looks like a legitimate locking mechanism too!)

Thanks for reading!

New in my Closet :: Hot Pink Leather Coach Crossbody Bag


Hello Everyone!

So I recently went to Hawaii and during my trip I bought this crossbody bag from Coach! I've been eyeing this crossbody for as long as I could remember and I was ecstatic when I was able to score a deal on the bag at Macy's! The best part of this bag is that it's versatile! You can wear it as a crossbody, double up the strap and wear it as a shoulder bag, or you can take off the straps and use it as a clutch!

The bag (new collection here) is regular price at $198 + applicable taxes (Toronto has 13% tax). However, I was able to get mine for $120 + 25% off (in store promotion) + another 20% off (Macy's Card Discount) for $72 + Hawaiian taxes (5%)! Pretty awesome right? That goes to show waiting pays off in the end! 

Thanks for reading!

Cravings :: Summer 2013 Wishlist

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to share some of the bags I have been lusting over for awhile. This list is extremely tailored down to the main five bags I most definitely like to see in my bag collection one day!

Summer 2013 Bag Wishlist

Most desired to least: Indian Rose Alma BB, Latte Rockie, Caviar Jumbo, Sea Green Mini Mac, & Cobalt Blue Chyc - this priority system is mostly based on how much I like the bag, the practicality of the bag for my lifestyle, product shelf-life (ie: limited edition), and colour!

Thanks for letting me share my fashion desires!

With love,

What's in My Purse?

It's believed that a woman's bag sheds light in her personality and life. Let's take a little peek into mine!

Photobucket
Marc by Marc Jacob Dr. Q Mini Hillier bag sure carries a lot!

I know I carry way too much in my purse, but I always hope to be prepared for something than to be under prepared (which reminds me... what happened to my mini umbrella!?). There is usually a reason something is in my purse... most often times its just sitting in there making me work out my arms ~~ hahahaha! Anyways, here's a grand list of what's in my purse according to the above photo and the reason why...@_______@''

  1. iPhone 4 - For talking to my friends, gps, internet, music; I'm not one of those individuals who would be in trouble if I lost my phone, although I'm quite dependent on it, but I feel that it's essential (especially for girls) to carry a cell phone in case of an emergency events
  2. Patent leather hot pink Coach wallet - To hold all my money, id, discount cards, coupons, bubble tea cards ^-^
  3. Anna Sui large mirror - So I can look at myself. LOL. XD
  4. Bath & Body Works antibacterial gel - I'm a huge germaphobe. 
  5. Puma pouch - I think its unattractive for girls to chuck their girly things in their purse without anything in case you have a little intruder >W<'' but also its very convenient and not embarrassing to hand over to a friend if they were ever to need a little girly help! Also its more convenient sometimes when you are going to washroom to just carry this and have a poor little guy friend hold you purse so the washroom germs don't get on your purse! ^3^
  6. Purse holder - Sometimes its unsafe for your purse to be left on a back of a chair, or there is simply no place to put your purse in a restaurant - Also much more sanitary! ^___^
  7. Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter - I always find my skin is very dry... moisturize moisturize!
  8. La Mer Hand Treatment - I have eczema on my hands so I need something a little more bam to make my hands better #____#
  9. Staedtler Triplus Mobile Office - Super handy! It has a pencil, ballpoint blue pen, black felt tip pen, and a highlighter. Just in case you ever need to write something down! *O*
  10. Avene Hydrance Optimale spf 25 Hydrating Cream for Sensitive Skin - Sun protection is very important! (Though I'm usually too lazy to put it on) >A<''
  11. Coach patent coin purse - For my coins and subway tokens ~_~
  12. samy mini hairspray - My version of pepper spray! since in some countries pepper spray or mace is illegal, hairspray is not! Like I said before, it's important for girls who find themselves walking home late at night after classes or work to protect themselves. Also doubles up in aid if you find yourself in a hair crisis! ^w^
  13. Hair tie - Cause my long hair sometimes gets annoying XD
  14. Camera case + camera - I am a total shutter bug. Pictures of everything! food. people. places. cute things. silly things. the works. I am a keen believer that there is no such thing as too much pictures. 
  15. Puffs tissues - Just in case :P
  16. Forever 21 sunglasses - Sun protection for your eyes! plus they are stylish ^-^
  17. TNA makeup case - A girl's magic bag; Usually over flowing with various lip products
  18. Keys - Other than the obvious... Again with safety, I also have an energizer safety fob on it. if I feel I'm in danger its sometimes easier to pull the tab off and have the key chain emit a siren noise than to scream for help. Or you can do both ^-^. It also doubles up as a flashlight! my cupcake key fob is from Coach. (Anyone noticed my awesome blingy heart key? Love it! My dad bought it for me and my mum ^-^)
  19. iPhone headphones - Gotta get my groove onn!
So, after reading my list you probably can tell what my priorities are: safety, sanitation, health, and convenience

Here's a close up of my keys so you can see how the Energizer safety fob looks like if you ever wish to purchase your own.

Safety first!

So I hope you enjoyed my What's in My Purse and that I gave you some tips on how to protect yourself with a few multifunctional items in your purse!

With love,
