I'm going to take a more simplistic approach to blogging, less pointless rambling, more photos and food reviews :)
I might come back here and blog from time to time. It is hard to let go...after nearly 3 years :)

time to move on

Haven't figured out blogskins yet but I decided to blog mainly because I'm procrastinating. I really don't want to start this 2000 word essay on sociological theory that's due really really really soon...
So I started my HR Internship...it's pretty fun. Reviewing candidates resumes/coverletters and then later on we get to interview them, aswell as select 700 volunteers for the festival that we're organising...it'll be good experience for my resume.
Since Ray's parents have been overseas, I stay at his half of the week. But it's a bitch as I work in Miranda and he lives in Burwood so I have to plan out whether we should stay at mine or his, otherwise he drives me to work then goes to my house lol. Ray's a really good cook...I remember cooking for him for our 9 months and I absolutely fail. I used up the entire kitchen and it took me 1 hour to buy groceries :( ...so I watch dexter and he cooks/washes dishes, lol.
So I got a busy July coming up. I'm turning the big TWENTY-ONE, going to Fiji and a weekend snow trip...busy busy and I haven't started planning for any of the 3 yet!
Anyways, I need a new job...not enough shifts (and I hate how I'm rostered every single saturday because the youngest gets alllllllllllllll the sundays) so I guess it's job hunting again LOL.
Does everyone get to a stage where they get over a brand? I feel like I have enough LV so I have moved on...keep you guys updated on my next purchase lol

I know..

I know the reason I don't blog anymore..I'm sick of the layout, I am bored.
but I can't figure out how to use the new codes from blogskins, haven't done it in years...
I'll be back the moment I figure out how, I shall go google now!

I realised I haven't even blogged about my holiday with ze boyfriend to Asialand yet...if you're on my fb, you've probably seen all the photos and videos. I'll probably do a quick post about that soon.
I am exhausted right now since I went to uni today (surprise surprise). LOL Everyone is always shocked to see me at uni, but anyways...
I deciding on where to get away in the July holidays, I'm thinking Fiji for some sun and for me to finally get some nice underwater photos on my camera, or to go NZ and have a snowboarding blast. To be honest, I want to do both...but since I'm saving for a bag atm, we'll see how that works out as I've barely worked since I've been back. Speaking of which, I'll be at the QVB oroton store occasionally as we're on sale, so that shall be much funner then Miranda.
Anyways, it's hot. Goodbye :)

wintery nights

Can't wait till winter so I can wear this baby everyday - it can also be used as an impromptu picnic rug/blanket. It is massive!
And I think I might plan a trip down to Melbourne so I can look at the new pieces in the Miu Miu boutique that's opening end of month. I was given this option by the manager in exchange for my bow bag. And I had no idea that the bow satchel retailed for AU$1980...speechless!

R.I.P

Sadly, my bow satchel had a really short life. I discovered the stitching holding the handles to the bag were already half unstitched and I've used it 3 times and nothing heavy were put into it.
Really makes me question how a bag that costs nearly $1500 can get away with being such low quality? I don't care if the SA said "there will be that one in a hundred", none of the bags should be this way, they should all be made with high quality. I know most of the money we pay is for the brand itself, but common quality is what keeps the brand going. I'm hoping for atleast a credit note, I no longer want to deal with this bag...after 3 uses I already have to send it to melbourne, not even a $100 bag unstitches after 3 uses :(
but I got a new LV shawl today...kind of makes me feel better but really, I'm still depressed. I really did love the bag :(

G'day!

So I arrived yesterday morning! Korea has yummy food and awesome shopping, must must must go back next time for much longer :)
I'll quickly do a reveal of my Miu Miu Bow Satchel, Miu Miu Velvet Bow Flats and Louis Vuitton Bandeau that I got in HK.
Holiday post will have to wait, maybe tomorrow. Since I'm currently jobless and uni hasn't started yet so I'm sure I'll find time inbetween my desperate housewives.
The colour I originally got for my Bow Satchel was 'Frango' but than I realised I'm a clumsy person and I don't really take good care of my bags since I chuck them around, so black would be more versatile (10 minutes after purchasing this bag at the boutique, I went into Milan Station and saw a brand new bow satchel IN the colour 'Creta' which was the one I've been lusting after, AND it was AU$200 cheaper, ahhh fail). I tried babying the bow satchel...I even put it in it's dustbag on the plane, but going through screening, they chucked it around so yes, baby no more.
For anyone considering to get the Bow Satchel...you have to be prepared for the fact that it's quite pricey yet it's fragile, all will develop sealant cracks...some after a few uses some people after a few months, but I think Season 3 is sturdier on that factor. At the boutiques, I've never had to check my LV bags for faults, but for Miu Miu...heaps of the bow satchels had either scratches into the leather, stains etc..and the SA had to bring out atleast 4 bags...and the only place to get it fixed in Australia is at DJ's Melbourne...but it's undeniable how cute the bag is and the leather is so so soft!




The flats were an unplanned purchase. We were looking around and we saw leather versions of the velvet bow flats so Ray said he'll buy them for me. But for AU$600+ on a pair of not so comfortable flats, I had to decline. But afterwards we went back in asking if they had any Velvet Bows left since it's quite old stock, they actually did and the closest to my size was a 35, after much debating over sizing I settled on this colour because I knew the cream 36 would get dirty way too easily. So thanks to my lovely bf for the present! (so cute how you can undo the bows and tie it yourself)

I bought this bandeau because it looked cute tied around bag handles on ptf, so yup it's a bit wrinkly because I tied it around my bow satchel. I kind of fail at tying it into a bow around my neck...only Ray knows how to lol.

YOOHOO!
