This is not a plastic bag, too.

Ok honestly, I grabbed this bag when I was in line paying for all my other cheap Primark items. Hung lonely on the railing, someone must've abandoned it after some last minute decision of buying or not. A huge nicely illustrated eco shopper bag that cost 1.27 pounds. Totally want. Totally useful.

One can never have too many

The conversation started when I told y(a)ppie that I was doing a survey
me: doing a survey

a few free tote bag / recycling bags - does that even count?
*this is true at the time of posting, list made based on memory and not actual physical count*

Noticed, how I did not number the list at all. So so so shameless! But all is justify-able for the very fact that I got it at a deal. Plus all the agonizing wait and the collection did its own accumulation throughout 5 years or more. I am quite the frugal one because I never paid RM700 to ship a bag halfway across the globe. My condolences to your lost. I am can be a shopaholic, but never impulsive.

When fashion mocks

Recently Longchamp launched another must-have bag for bagaholics, but I think Longchamp was mocking so-called fashionista/bagaholics out there.
This bag made of canvas and linen imprinted large text "Ceci Est Un It Bag" (translates : This Is Not An IT bag). Priced at $285 to $490, this is surely a price suitable for an IT bag.

Want of the Year ( reprise )

Oh yea, so I bought THE BAG. ( Topshop )

Yes, I was shopping alone and there wasn't anyone to save me.
Oh apparently I totally blanked out about having a shopping partner that day :P
Why didn't she stop me? Oh because we both have ( somewhat ) equally good taste :)

Regrets?
No.

I am using it everyday ( well, almost ) and loving it.

Also seen here.

Love your coins

this is the month for love...

Want of the Year #1.

Are fringes out of fashion yet? Or is it still at the height of its popularity?

Frankly I don't care. Fringes made of cheap suede are the ugliest, but if you find one made of reasonably fine suede... the movement of the fringes can be so, so lovely.

I want this :


But at RM313, I'm thinking twice, maybe more times.

Then one fine day, I might find myself crawling in the mall, I might get really stupid, I might buy it, I might use it for a couple of times then chuck at the back of my closet .............................................. O, give me strength.

I said I might.

Don't judge.

Clutch this!

These are so pretty, I don't mind being branded an aunty for wearing it. Classic.

Coach bag at fun fairs?

Only 2 bucks for a Coach bag. However, I wonder if it's authentic.

Girls, still want to get a Coach bag?

News from here.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Legacy Thompson.

Oh it is bound to happen - I am to tragically fall for one completely out of my league. Fate, if you may. I was never meant to be where you were. I was the uncomfortable lowly commoner in your exquisite abode, who once swore at your snooty lot's existence.

Love at first sight, it was. From when you were given the grand introduction by your trusty guardian, from whence your masculine name danced so rightly at the tip of my tongue as I say it. Again and again and again...

~

I knew you were special, even before it was brought to announcement of your distinction.

In a treasured private moment, ever lightly I ran my digits across your supple skin, shivers involuntarily rippled down my spine. For a fleeting instant you let me embraced you and I held my breath in a quiet gasp, your subtle scent further caressed my senses, causing a sigh to escape my lips.

Not only pleasing on the outside, your interior grandeur is a match. Colourful and brimming with spirit, you're a personality to be reckon with. But a large hollow part of you is hungry, ever ready to offer yourself to a world full of knowledge and love.

A rare stunner you are, you evidently belong in a life lavished with luxury, bright lights and scrutiny. But in all this wearisome pampering, you longed for liberty. In your proud display and helplessness, you can only silently plead to be whisked away. To be free from this shiny glassed confinement and see the universe! If you are with me now, you shall touch the humble life of the everyday ordinaries, to feel appreciations without ideas of status or obsession!

~

Alas! While our reflection together may paint a picture of perfection, in an ideal world, we are never meant to be. Who am I to relieve you from restraint! It is beyond my yardstick to afford an extravagance like you. Even being in the same room with you, I was already threading on dangerous grounds.

To finally free you from my grasp and to walk away without daring another last look was the most painful ordeal, one I never wish to endeavour ever again.

Until life brings us better affairs - Legacy Thompson of Coach, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur - you will always be the unprecedented adoration that holds a bigger piece of my heart.

Bigger bag please

Cameron Diaz's bright canary yellow patent tote from Marni brightens up her whole outlook. I like the bag's strap which can function as carry all travel bag and as a (supersize) handbag.

I am also looking for a big bag, more like a beach bag.

Another Bag!

This is no Anya Hindmarch I'm Not a Plastic Bag...

... but I totally love the typography design / black and white sketch on this Topshop - Kate Moss Collection.

All I got is a plastic bag

I called for reservation, but it's all sold out although this bag is not officially on sale yet.
I totally agree with bunnyshop: "We're not sure this is the most exciting not-plastic-bag we've ever seen".

Try to check out ebay and give yourself a shock of how much it cost.

Googims

Googims is a clothing brand from South Korea. I love them for their quirky cartoon characters.

Googims means "wrinkles" in Korean, representing the wrinkles
one gains when facing life's myriad challenges. A fun and uniquely Korean brand
of clothing, Googims conveys the rituals and moods of daily life in an
irreverent and irresistible manner. Googims cartoon characters are immediately
identified by their vulnerable, sensitive, and fragile nature. Main character
Daddy Googim is a young father still trying to come to terms with his change of
color (he was born gray, but is now black). Baby Googim is stubborn and curious,
while Ice Guy is the personification of loneliness. Ice Guy can suddenly become
a big part of a person's life, but he will melt away and disappear in the
presence of love. Googims characters show us love, anger, worry, sadness, sweat,
tears, and even joy.

I want to bag it...
