Okay, so I told my bf one night that I wanted a Chanel Flap bag. Yes, I wanted one. I wanted to own a 2.55 Lambskin Black Chanel Flap bag badly. I thought I was as crazy as the way he looked at me in my pursuit to owning one. Vintage, pre-owned or new --I didn't care. I wanted the end result of me having one of those precious babies in my hands and ownership.
I've heard it all before, people that have told me 'there are ways of having the bag without the eye-gauging prices' they say, referring to the ever-more popular timesharing that you can pay for the time you have it and then send it back. Would I really want to send the Chanel Bag back once it was in my possession? that would take considerable will-power let me tell you!
So I set out to find ways of owning one without the traditional 'all in' bankrupt or selling my soul (much less, my first born).
I really thought that my sanity had gotten the better of me when i tried rationalizing lol.

Touring the City :: coral romper!
Saturday was a girls' day for me since my bf was working. My cousin and I decided to tour the city and explore. We love being tourists in our own hometown --you find out more about your own city that way!

The Classics.
The young go with the trend, but once you get older there is more of a transition to the classics that become your timeless pieces to work with and swear by. Here are my top pics for classics that --in my mind, will stand the test of time and prove to be as fashionable then as it is now.
Here are some classics that I am absolutely inlove with!
*sigh* A girl can dream..

Spring/Summer Wishlist: from the beach to the bbq!
I've always loved any outfit that can take you from one place to another--not always from day to night but say, from going to the beach to a family barbeque or errands to coffee with friends. There's nothing better than an outfit that can transform with a few accessories and seem so appropriate for one place as another!
Here's my first outfit pull for spring/summer...
read on to find out where you can find everything to pull the look too!

On Trend: Top Gun cool
"I feel the need...for speed..."
Channeling my inner Tom Cruise a la Top Gun today while running errands at the mall.
I love my crop camo bomber jacket. I got it years ago from my bf as a birthday present.

On Trend: The Gladiator
Okay, so I'm not talking about some Russell Crow movie, nor will I be fighting in a Roman Coliseum somewhere lol. I am talking about the trend that sweeped the fashion runways years back, the gladiator sandals. It's not just any ol' gladiator style sandals, the knee-high Gladiator style sandals became a craze, showing up at Chanel '07 runway.
I am inlove with the gladiator sandals. It is so ruggedly trendy. It's an interesting take on the usual boring sandals, opting for a knee-length instead of stopping at the ankles.
It's a show-stopping pièce de résistance to an summer outfit. It entices much like a sheer stocking or fishnet tights, you see bits of skin but it's caged as part of a sandal.
I was elated to find that Michael Kors brought the trend back with his version of the sandal..
I love love love it! I don't mind if it's not so much in trend right now lol.

my new sunglasses!
So I got an early stocking stuffer from santa this year--I musta been real good this year! lol. I know it's 4 degrees right now and barely a hole in the clouds to indicate any kind of sunshine, but I always get things out of season anyways lol so it's nothing new to me!
I've been wanting a good pair of aviator sunglasses for a long while now, and although my first choice was to get the coveted pair of ray-bans, I opted to go another direction when the opportunity popped up....

Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear: Loves it.
The world of fashion moves two steps ahead of the normal world, and anticipates the ever-changing trends of the public. I always get excited about fall during summer and thus, I couldn't wait to get my hands on the sneak peak of Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection. I had my eye on one designer in particular, Chloe.
For those that know me well, I rarely spend my hard earned $$$ on the designer clothing. I much rather invest in another lux, handbags. Ever so often, however, I do venture to the designers to get ideas on the upcoming season and what looks good and what may not.
Chloe
Under the hands of what style.com has mentioned to be the first female designer at the Fashion house of Chloe since Phoebe Philo, Hannah Macgibbon shows her take on the Chloe Fashion 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection. Exciting! Finally! A woman back to take the healm. Mind you, she was also a protege of Ms. Philo, who I believe has her own line now (must put on the list to check out!).
So her colour of choice was quite obvious from the first few photos of the Runaway show in Paris. Lots of neutrals, beige and camel tones. In fact, one of the most recognizable pieces she has which I've seen so far in two mags, is the Jumpsuit--one being in the Fall preview section of the July 2010 of Harper's worn by Cameron Diaz.
I love that this colour is once again the dominant colour for fall. It's fresh and chic, casual but yet dressy. As style.com desribes it, it's 'grown up' and a new take on the fashion house and it's old flirty, feminine style. The mens wear inspired looks are just gorgeous.

uncovering the shades.
It's been non-stop day after day of beautiful weather here in Vancity, and I thought since it is summer and the sun is going strong daily that I'd blog about sunglasses!
Popularized around the 1940s when it wasn't only cool to have them to guard yourself from the prying eyes if you're a celebrity, it became more important to guard damage against the eyes. There are tons of choices and and name brands, its virtually impossible to not own at least one pair!
Those who know me well know that I am attached to my Chanel sunglasses. I love the shape--it reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and the lenses are big enough to cover my eyes and not let the rays through...They have helped me shade my emotions on the most difficult of days in the Philippines and have shaded my eyes from the intense rays at Lonsdale Quay on a sunny afternoon.
How does one choose a pair? Does it even matter what brand or if one buys a pair from the cheap stores? Why invest in a pair like Oakleys or Ray ban?
Good question!

Quest for the double C's.
So my quest does indeed continue....I am determined more than ever to get those coveted double C's.
lol I am not getting any augmentations! ....I am talking about the Chanel 2.55 bag!
I am inlove with this bag...really.
I don't expect everyone to understand though....I don't have the same love for shoes, at least not that much...
Don't get me wrong, I have lots of shoes, it's just not the same love that I have for good quality bags. There is craftsmanship there that is lacking with bags made in a factory in the tens of thousands, in weird, un-natural fabrics such as PVC(which by the way, smells awful) or pleather(ugh, like I'd like to carry a bag that's the same fabric as the clothes of a dominatrix!?)...I'm sorry if I offend anyone, but to me, nothing beats a nicely made bag that is going to be a great investment piece and will last.
My heart flutters when I see one of those bags...It's love at first sight!

I kid you not, there is no other bag in the world like this shoulder bag. I have searched and scowered the stores to find something that is comparable, if not by the size and shape then by the quality and timelessness of the piece, and it's ability to transition from a day to night bag-- with space to boot!
I have the same affinity for this shoulder bag as I do with the birkin top handle. I simply adore beautifully made bags. There is no comparison.

BEBE luv
beats:: hmm..something by nikki minaj and young money crew!?
OOTD:: jammy jams =)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: jammies
I swore to myself I'd try to sleep early tonight, but alas it's not to be i guess...frustrating!
What do I do when I can't sleep!? I blog =)
Okay, so here are my few fave skirts both recent purchases and not...I have a love affair with minis and high waisted skirts...here are my recent closet finds..hopefully I'll find more and post them as well!
White tube top: Le Chateau; White Layered Skirt: BEBE
White Top: Le Chateau; Black & White Skirt: BEBE
Black Tube Top: BEBE; White Layered Skirt: BEBE
Black Tube Top: BEBE; Silver High Waisted Skirt: Le Chateau
Okay, so along with my mild obsession with skirts, I also have a deep luv for black and white (hence my love for all things Classic Chanel). I find that you are never out of style when going with the classic, crisp colour of black and white. Don't get me wrong, I do have pops of colour in my wardrobe once in awhile =)
It's approaching summer, and contrary to the weather, it's coming in less than 20 days. The mini skirts come in handy for night time galavanting in the city with the girlfriends or a hot date with hun. It's sexy and gives off a sense of clean lines and freshness =)
Happy Spring!~*

I am lovin' multiples!
beats:: hm..nothing really...drawin a blank =\
outfit of the day:: ugh, it's one of those days..don't even ask!
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my bed!!! lol.
It's gloomy, but one must always try to bottle up some sunshine to keep one company during days such as these!
So lately I've been on a quest to find the perfect multi-purpose bag. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore my LV bag because of it's multi-purposeness in my life! I just thought that because it's such a fave bag of mine, that I'd lessen the wear and tear of time, and use it abit less for the more worthy occasions =) at least until I get another LV...or Chanel!
I have yet to find the perfect bag that can take me from travelling on vacays, to just running errands around town. Yes, i am a picky girl when it comes to bags...I love the multi-faceted use of a well-made, aesthetically pleasing bag. So you can imagine how picky I will be about this everyday bag!
So on to my latest purchase! lol.
The Trokey Bag from Aldo. It was $29.98 (CDN) on sale too! great deal.
Okay, so normally I don't just buy bags on a whim...Actually to be fair, I didn't buy this on a whim either. You can ask my cousin, but we almost ran out of minutes for the parking meter cause I couldn't decide!!! lol.
I find that it works for my needs at the moment. I say that because my mood about bags change as much as I change outfits in a day. I have different needs according to the day, and for the last day, it's suited my needs. I find that it feels abit too big for leisurely shopping, but works perfectly as a work bag, overnight bag and even for running errands where you'll need your hands free for some of the time!
I haven't quite taken it to the skies yet, but hopefully pretty soon it will get its chance....I do like to travel in style, and it's beautiful brown (synthetic, yes i know ladies, synthetic) leather skin is a classy, timeless bag that doesn't go out with the seasons.
Recently, though my eye has always gravitated to the pricier, well crafted bags (i find they are sort of an investment) I have been buying the less expensive, more practical versions, in order to get more quantity than quality. It's only recently that I've interchanged bags for every outing i've had.
I guess sometimes quantity with a bit of quality isn't so bad ; )

I heart bags...spring edition!~*
beats:: dead and gone - TI ft Justin Timberlake
outfit of the day:: White Pinstriped dress shirt, AE Indigo Skinny Jeans, Banana Republic Camel Wool Blazer and black payless flats =)
fave fashion accessory of theday/moment:: small purses &l <3 'em!
Spring has sprung...beatiful blooms are upon us!!
Okay, so my song choice for today isn't quite matching with the mood...but I was just watching TI's Behind the Music thing...He's still muy caliente in my book!~*
...with a new season comes my new luv for the season, smaller purses/clutches! I simply adore 'em! *luv luv*
Okay, so my new found mini-obsession has lead me to one store in particular lately...ALDO..oh my they have a wide array of beautiful clutches and smaller purses that are oh-so-irresistable! To be honest, I have this ongoing love affair with bags...They are just a bad weakness of mine lol...It's that or shoes...
*I just can't resist!*
Currently, my two new purchases to date are a far stretch from my usual big bags, but I've noticed that there are a few times when big bags aren't the most useful. I'm a gal that didn't used to like purses at clubs, in fact, I'd hate to bring bags so much that I used to just use this wristlet (literally velcro'd to my wrist lol) filled with money and my cards. Handy, but didn't fit much else. Lately I've wanted to be able to bring a purse inside filled with at least a little cardholder and some makeup to touch up with whenever I turned abit shiny from all the dancing lol.
So here are my two purse purchases....
This second one was bought tonight! <3's it too! I decided to buy a bigger purse instead of the usual small clutch I use for Happy Hour. I thought it was a cute size to bring about town when I wasn't upto to my usual fave the LV top-handle. Don't get me wrong, it woudn't fit all the usuals that would fit inside my usual top-handle purses but this one is cute enough to use for casual dates or for a nice evening out for happy hour =) Again, I opted for the lovely metal hardware details, even a ribbon on the side for an additional touch of femininity and class =) It channels the Chanel-esque beauty without having to rip-off the chicness of Chanel! (translation: it doesn't look like a fake Chanel! lol) I think of it more as inspired by the look of the Chanel quilted shoulder bag (which I hope to one day have!!)
So those are my two new purchases in awhile in the bag area...
I admit, they're not my usual bags, but they are more of a grown-up classy type of bag that encourages me not to try packing my whole room into my purse! lol...They do a good job pulling a double duty of classy evening bag and casual out on the town bag...I think it works!
Did I mention that both just happen to be part of the Spring trends? lol I didn't even set out to try and get into the trends...It kind of just happened!
lol i went to the mall for a movie, then ended up with a handbag as well! that was one expensive movie date!

So here are my two purse purchases....
I had bought this first one in Seattle at Southcenter Mall. I needed a purse to bring to the club or lounge that was abit bigger than my BEBE little clutch since it seemed abit too small for me to be able to carry both my phone and camera at the same time.
ALDO handbag spring '10 collection - $30.00 (USD)
I love the soft, camel colour leather. It's so spring!
The gold metal hardware is sooo cute..Luvs it!
The hardware was ver nicely detailed! Gave it a classy look.
The inside of the bag was very nice, nothing special but nice matching brown fabric.
This second one was bought tonight! <3's it too! I decided to buy a bigger purse instead of the usual small clutch I use for Happy Hour. I thought it was a cute size to bring about town when I wasn't upto to my usual fave the LV top-handle.

(translation: it doesn't look like a fake Chanel! lol) I think of it more as inspired by the look of the Chanel quilted shoulder bag (which I hope to one day have!!)
I love love love the light pale grey shade of the handbag...so spring!
It has the cutest details, so feminine, with the ribbon on the side!
The inside is simple, like my previous bag, but lots of side pockets and a zippered one! (its always a must!)
It has the cute metal lock detail as well! =) This one is in silver this time.
the metal chain hardware is so Chanel-inspired...so classic! <3s it much!
So those are my two new purchases in awhile in the bag area...

Tis' the season...for Sunglasses!!
beats:: eh eh (nothing else I can say) - lady Gaga
outfit of the day:: same as below (what!? i blog alot during the day lol)
fave fashion accessory of the day/moment:: my CHANEL sunglasses =)
LOVE, Love, love the most beautiful, sunny day on a friday afternoon!~*
simply awesome is what I say!~
I thought that what better time to blog about sunglasses than a sunny, gorgeous day like today!?
During spring and summertime, one of my most fave accessories are my sunglasses...To be able to whip 'em out on a day like this is just pure happiness! I've got two sunglasses at the moment (far less than the 5 or 6 I used to have....) Though I owe fewer pairs than before, they are more expensive, and therefore better cared for than my 5 others which, combined, totals to just my one pair of Chanel Sunglasses. I splurged last winter (lol odd time to buy sunglasses eh!?) for a nicer pair instead of opting for a cheapie once more...I'm glad to say that it's quite worth my $$$. It's even gotten me through the toughest time, like at my Grandma's funeral...I mourned a la Audrey Hepburn, breakfast at Tiffany's style...
My other fave of the moment, which I have to say, it's been tougher to find than my normal plastic frames, is the Aviators. I would really like to one day own a pair of Ray-Ban's....In Gold Frames would be preferred! lol...Unfortunately, i've hit my quota on my sunglass purchases for the time being lol, so even though a pair of Ray-Ban's wouldn't set me back alot, I had to walk away... I bought a cheaper (albiet just as pretty!) pair of Marc Jacobs Aviator frames....I luv them dearly, though they are abit lighter in shade than what i'd like, not to mention they may not be polarized....
Now, I'm not against' the cheapies by any means....I've even bought so many in the past, it's a nice substitution while you find the perfect pair of frames to invest in. Unfortunately, if you're like me, who doesn't tend to take care of the cheaper ones, it will tend to end up seeming like disposables than for keeps...It's all in how you care for them and how much usage you'll get out of them...Someone that works outdoors and during summertime would require wearing them alot would be better off investing in a good pair with polarized frames and heavy-duty quality to them, as opposed to an indoor domesticated office gal like me, who is lucky to even see the light of day from my office window most times!
My past worthy sunglass purchases have come from various stores...I've often ventured to Aldo or Le Chateau for a quick pair of shades a time or two. They can range from about $15-$30 for a good pair of stylish sunglasses...I should warn you that though they are cheaper, they don't come with the sweet extras that a pricier one would come with...namely? a case! Yep, a case. I have sat on a pair of sunglasses before, and trust me, it ain't pretty....
