I'm at my lowest point in my life now. It's heart breaking.
I can't wait for the day this is all over.
'Til then.....

Le Pliage
Last night was supposed to be just a "Pepper Lunch Night", well supposedly nga. Te and I will eat Beef Pepper Rice then go home right after. It must be the Kani Shake Shake salad that I tried (which for me is the best tasting salad I have ever tasted, very reasonable for only P99) I suddenly want to buy a bag. (Paki-connect nalang, please. ;) )
The Aldo bag I bought last January retired last month - my first online purchase, overly used and abused I might say. I'm using the old Jessica Hobo that I got early last year plus I just received my mid-year bonus so I thought it's just the perfect timing to replace it.
The Gap Tote caught my eyes first- perfect size, in very soft light gray leather, reasonable price. But then it doesn't have a zipper so being the careless-twice nadukutan person that I am, I had to look for another.
Next I spotted a very nice bag from ZARA-very trendy (think Mulberry Alexa) and in very gorgeous leather. I was this close to buying the bag but I had major issues- expensive (7K+) AND the sling is not adjustable. It's too long, not comfy at all.
I looked at Mango, Esprit and Celine but nothing caught my eyes, sadly.
I wanted to go home then, a bit disappointed really. Then the always eager Te suggested that I should go back to Zara and get the bag. I told her I can't justify the bag's price, and given that amount I'd rather get a Le Pliage. Oooppsss..
Ding!
Thought bubble: There's Rustan's here so why not stop by at Longchamp?!
So ladies and gheys, my first dream bag that I've been wanting to get for almost 3 years...
I got the small one in Gray (long handle) @ 3mos 0% installment plan. Haha :)
You may not also get why this bag, but for me this is classic casual chic like me. My office uniform is so casual, you wouldn't think it's a uniform at all so the bag is just right for me. Le Pliage is so light, I bring tons of things inside my bag so the last thing I should be carrying is a heavy bag. It's roomy that's why I chose the small size. Plus, my fave bloggers Daphne and thebaghag raves about this, chuvaness also has a limited ed. Ayee! :)
And did I mention it's also waterproof? So i'm gonna use it as a beach bag too - it can carry my sunblock, phone, a cover up, camera and my fave wayfarer. ;))
So I'm officially broke for the rest of the year, having so many installment purchases under my belt. LAWL. Goodluck to me.
