Don't shoot me!!

Pre-sales and deadlines are driving me crazy! There is a reason why I disappeared from blogging... and it's not because of shopping, my loves, but school! :( I'm sorry to disappoint you -- I promise to try to blog at least once a week to keep you updated. And sorry for the lack of piccies lately, no new loot has arrived yet! Wahhh, I can't wait! I need some juicy cuties to perk me up!

// Edit at 2:23 AM (you can see how 'hardworking' I am)

I've finally got my a$$ down to picking out outfit for tomorrow... because simply, I don't wanna waste 30 minutes in the morning just figuring out what to wear! And that's the sole reason why I am late for school!

Outfit du Jour featuring Miss Oversize Muse



It's summer and I'm gonna wear my new t-bar sandals with my new eyelet LBD! I love the details on them - very nicely sewn and they sparkle like crazy. I threw in my Kenneth Jay Lane apple necklace to match the hardware of Miss Muse. I especially took a zoomed in photo just to show you the details of the apple! Can you see the little crystals on the leave?



Oh, and obviously Queen B inspired, I shortlisted 3 headbands I would like to wear. One's a cute thick headband in metallic crackled leather, the other is a big tuxedo bow headband and the third has an ivory tweed camellia.



And if you have observed closely in the 1st picture, I chosen the gold Miu Miu headband. What a tease!

Tata y'all!

Up for another round of Purplicious candy?

It's funny how I have the sudden surge of enthusiasm to 'want to blog' -- most of the time I just feel like abandoning my blog. I think what keeps me going now is my readers who want me to continue this (you know, it can be a challenge). I'm not trying to flatter myself - it just surprises me that people do take me seriously. I really appreciate that you guys still stick around with me!

I have received a few comments on my Miu Miu Coffer and Muse bags. Let's keep the Coffer a mystery first (although there isn't really much a mystery about this bag), shall we? I was thinking I could post outfits with her, what d'ya think? I managed to take photos of the oversize Muse and Balenciaga '07 LE Magenta city together (although nobody asked about her I decided she needed some recognition) after much procrastination. And yes, I do wonder how the oversize could actually work on me because of my small frame (5'4 and size 0). Surprisingly, I can pull off the big bag look, especially so on heels!





Both pictures didn't show the true colors of the bags. I managed to dig up the old photos that I posted on PF which reflect their juicy yummy colors!





Looks like they smell like grapes, don't they? I swear I almost went up to purple heaven. I'm just so in love with this color - now you know what really kills me!

It sucks to go back to school tomorrow, especially so when it's a very long day, BUT at least I have a new pair of TDF skinny (blue) jeans to take away the monday blues :)

Here's Outfit du Jour for tomorrow - I'm gonna take my poor (old and abused) Bbag out tomorrow. She's the first Bbag I own and by far my favorite Bbag. And possibly the one that I have used to death!



I specially bought a Prada skull keyring for the bag, wah!

And check out the incidental 'glitter' coincidence I found on both fabrics (skulls are stitched in silver metallic threads)!



I love this new pair from Rock and Republic (told ya I'm a jeans girl :) I foresee this will become my favorite pair of rocker jeans. My current favorite (and has remained my favorite for quite a while) is the Notify small skull stitched on pockets dark skinny jeans... which might have to make way for this new R&R pair!

To top off the whole look, I might wear my favorite gladiator heels tomorrow. But for school? Hmm, let me sleep on it and decide again when I wake up. If not, I'll wear my Lanvin flats!



I blogged about these before on my old blog but will do so again here - I bought these on retail (crazyyy), so to justify that, I have worn them to death already! And they're only 6 months old. They were from '07 F/W (I love f/w seasons, yay for pre-fall) These BV hotties go with everything in my closet. They beat the new Balenciaga gladiators hands down anytime!

Okay, I better stop rambling on about my shoes or I'd never stop. You know how much I love shoes!

Outfit du Jour 1 - 07.04.08

Today is a bad day. Yeah, I know I have many bad days but today is an exception -- a bad and sad day. I dropped by YSL boutique to try on the new S/S '08 flat sandals that I ordered. Unfortunately, I did not order the correct size, so I left empty handed -- which is a rare sight! Then I met my bff who returned from London for Starbucks and had a long chat. That kind of perked me up a little since I had a long and tiring day (had an interview with the auditors and a very bad stomach ache which happened during my interview -- what great timing really) and I haven't seen him in a while. It always warms me up to meet an old friend and have hot coffee on a dull rainy day.

But the ultimate event that sent me to rock bottom is the moment I found out I missed my HG (holy grail) violet Chanel flap!! How in the world did I miss that?! I'm so sad that I am bleeding...

Anyhow, I promised to post ODJ (outfit du jour) today so here it is!

Ahoy, here comes B-girl!

In the past entry I mentioned I would have new loot coming in and look what I got today to beat away the Monday blues...



Make a guess!

Is it a bag?

Or shoes?
.

Well.....

It's a....



Pair of shoes!!!



Je presente... Mademoiselle Balenciaga Gladiators in dove grey.



How hot are they!! I'm still hyperventilating!

They were launched last F/W and I finally managed to get them (at a good price too :) I might be a season late but well... it's better late than never! If you search eBay, all you'll find are probably the studded ones, which are too trendy IMO. I'm not that much a fan of the giant hardware although very ironically, I have 2 giant hardware bags... I wonder what came into me.

Now I've realized that the main thing to look for in shoes that will stay in my closet is that they have to be classic designs with perhaps a modern twist (I wouldn't want to be cringing and saying 'What was I thinking' years later).

Make me an offer!
Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Heels SOLD!
Talk about trendy, I have regretted (sigh sigh sigh) buying my YSL Tributes which I have only worn once (I blame VB!). Is there anyone who would like to take these very neglected hot babies home? Please write me a comment and leave your email.
FYI, I'm a true size EU37 and the shoes are in black suede with bronze/gold trims and in size 36.5.

I was thinking of posting Outfit du Jour again but decided that these shoes needed to show off all its glory so ODJ will be posted in the next entry instead!
