What I bought today: Chloe Bay Tote in Blanc

...well not really, but rather what I bought 2 weeks ago. Because I have been a rather depressed, miserable and sodding old cow lately, I have decided to lighten up my blog entries from here onwards. Plus, it just occured to me that my blog hasn't really lived up to its name.

My blog's moto from now on will be (or along the lines of), "I AM SUPERFICIAL".

So....what did I buy, I hear you say? Well here's the incriminating evidence - a Quilted Chloe Bay Tote in Blanc.

Here's to superficiality. *cheers* *chink*

M O S C H I N O

I have just purchased 5 Moschino items online. Do you remember those Moschino bags, in its hey-day during the early 90's, with the individual gold lettering? (must say no one had trouble spelling M.O.S.C.H.I.N.O. after that) Well, I bought 3 bags and 2 accessories from that line *see net-a-porter, my credit card does match with the billing address I sent you. For I am THE bonifide owner of said credit card. Your loss, I guess, for I could have upped your March sales by thousands of GBP*

Anyway, before you scream "IDIOT!!" - I happen to love that line from Moschino! They don't make those bags anymore. I guess they're not friends with Redwall anymore (?). I have been searching high-and-low for them and have had no success. The current bags that they do are just too whimsical for me (hey, I can DO whimsical but just not in that dose).

Now let's see how fast you can say "UPS!!"

I got a Brazilian

Hahaha! Not of the southern region! But at least I got your attention.

I finally took the plunge and bought the Luella Gisele bag. I wasn't sure initially of its authenticity because I thought the price was suspiciously low. I recall in Dubai it retailed at just under DH3000. But after I did some research yesterday, at both eBay and with the help of a couple of PF'ers, I was convinced I was onto the real deal.

So I went. I inspected. And I paid. Finally, a Luella Gisele! I'm so darned pleased with myself, especially as I got a bargain.

Lock, Frock and 2 Smoking Barrels

At the last minute I decided to join the mummies' morning coffee. I don't know why I almost took a rain check (it did rain though - no puns intended).

Spent over B$300 after the coffee morning at the new Redd Boutique at Q-Lap Mall. It was still early as the poor girl was still wiping the shop windows clean. Managed to find some tops that fit me (finally!) as the owner normally buys clothes that are only fit for Hongkie avenue princesses. I also bought a pair of Miu Miu-esque flats (so adorable) and I couldn't resist this red clutch bag (I'm still thinking about what/where/how I will be using this. Small bags are not normally my turf). I also saw the Stam Bag look-a-like. I admittedly comtemplated buying it, but since net-a-porter delivers to Brunei - no excuse not giving Marc Jacobs some money)! Besides, I risk getting urticaria if I don't have the genuine article on my arms.

Much to my shock/horror - It was only when I got home that I realised 2 of the tops had a crucifix (-ish) symbol on the chest. Grrrrrr! Why didn't I see that part of the logo!! I think I got too excited with the fact that the logo reminded me of the Vivienne Westwood symbol...hang-on a minute, didn't that one has a cross at the top of the orb too?! Doh!

Anyway, I think I have figured out a way to fix this problem without having to return the goods (I so love those tops!). I shall wear them without being struck by lightning.

p/s I can't stop thinking about this long black dress I saw. I'm so tempted to buy it. Laukong (ever the "realist") asked if I was expecting an invite to some award ceremony or prom (READ: where the hell are you going to wear that frock?) I think I might just buy it, if only to let it hang in my wardrobe. Itchy hands, itchy wallet.
