Chanel Large Paris Biarritz

I've been eyeing this particular bag for a year before I finally took the plunge in July 2010. My dear friend PZ bought this for me all the way from Singapore (Thanks so much, PZ!) It's the perfect work bag because I can fit in my paper work and a notebook, and I could probably put in my netbook too. There's only one problem with this bag, can't really carry it for too long. It is heavy even when it's almost empty. I would think twice before using it for travel, especially if travel would involve lots of walking. It does look really nice, though:-)

Purchases from Singapore get a 5% GST refund. A really nice incentive to shop!

Mulberry Oversized Alexa

Here's something that I'm dying to test-drive. Priced at GBP 907 via www.net-a-porter.com. Brown or Black?

Balenciaga Classic City

My first Balenciaga purchase in Anthracite (June 2010, Greenbelt 5, Manila). This got me started on the brand. With the softest leather, this is the perfect weekend bag when I don't have to carry any paper work. Fits my wallet, two mobile phones, perfume, eyeglasses and shades, and a vanity case. Love that it has short handles as well as a shoulder strap so I can easily carry it either on my arm or on my shoulders.

Must add that I love the staff at the Manila branch! I guess I won't be buying from any other branch:-)
