Sell and buy...

Small bag is just not enough to keep my daily things.. When I bought this bag about a year or so ago, it seems that it is not small, it is quite roomy, but..as time goes by, I feel that even my purse is so hard to get into that...

I just use this bag for weekend ..Yeah, I split my weekend bag and my weekday bag (not to mention my 'supermarket' bag, or my 'church' bag, :) )..my weekend bag terms refer to bag that is in good quality (should I say superb?), pretty chic, and only deserve the ride to somewhere nice.. :)..Yeah, I do have a good maintanence of my bag, so I consider anyone who bought my bag is just lucky.

I clean it everytime I use, put it bag in its dust bag, store it in my bag wardrobe, and keep an eye whether the 'humidifier' is empty in the wardrobe (beware of 'jamur' - fungi in our humid country).
Even when I went to the LV boutique here to validate my Papilon is original to a buyer to be, the SA commented that this is still in a very good condition :)...Of course, the gold metal looks polished, no scratch on every single surface outside and inside. the SA was only willing to compare it with new Papilon they have without commenting this is original or not..(may be it is not part of their job, or they are just afraid to release such comment).

In short, I sell it, 50% lower than original price! huhu..but I consider this is better than put it in a second store, I will get even lower, and without any certainty when it will be sold..






And then, I can get something bigger in return ...of course with some more fund 'invested'...



Introducing my new tulum:




Welcome Tulum GM to my bag wardrobe..

White new sandal..

This is the sandal I talked about on my last post..
This gives you height without pain it usually comes together with..I fell in love the first time I saw it..I know it does not look like something sexy, with pointed hills, or strap ..but this gives you comfort plus it does not look like 'home sandal' with just a plain big strap on top...
And also, the colour is just suit me...for me, something in solid colour like black, darkbrown is just too contrast with my fair skin, and I usually have those dark colours just for the sake of matching it with my working suit.

There are many sweet havanians that have 'gems' or 'flower' or 'beads' on top of it, but for me, it's just to flatty (sendal jepit banget)..


On top of the wedges, there are white 'pallete' that also not so common found in sandal..bottom line, I just lovee it..
It is from Nine West, but I can't find it in the web catalog..may be it's just been out of order in the US, but surely a new arrival here..heck, who cares, as long as i like it! :)
The down thing is usually it gives discount soon...hik, but I am just too freak out I will not getting because usually nine west boutique collaborates with BII credit card which I dont have..
By d way, I also receive a Rp 100 k voucher without expiration date to shop at other boutique owned by PT Mitra Adiperkasa Tbk namely,SOGO, Debenhams, Zara, Topshop, Massimo Dutti, Next, Miss Selfridget, etc, etc,,,uhuyyy...

High heel hurts? Not anymore!


This invention is just great! High heels which give you height and different appearance will usually give you the pain. But this invention is just great...an adjustable pair of high heel soles that with a simple switch will turn your them into flats. This project was designed by Marte den Hollander .

Say good bye to tired feet...
Actually, I was about to post my new sandal from Nine West, it gives me height, without further pain, as it is quite flat from front to back..but i cant find it in ninewest website, may be i should take it from my camera...

Fashion mobile phone..this time...leave it to Miuccia

Recently, there are increasingly fashion designers have partnered with cellphone markers, namely D&G and Motorola Razr:



In fashion, take a look to Miuccia Prada for revolutionary design concepts and stunning execution. Usually, the fashion designer collaborate with the 'phone expert'. Prada this time (for the first time actually) collaborated with LG from the very beginning to create the KE850. The result, as being regarded as the world's first completely touch screen-operated phone, is quite kinda 'amazing'


Prada phone more or less holds up to tech spec scrutiny. I'll comment on the form-related features that differentiate Miuccia's mobile from the competition (at least in the eyes of design conscious consumers):
- An elegant look. This phone is definitely NOT destined for the Razr status. You won't tire of this phone quickly as you would the Razr or those old Nokia fashion phones.
- The sleek white-on-black interface. Because let's be frank--it is chic looking. More pictures are availabile on
Gizmodo.
- Custom ringtones and sounds, which promise to be better than those that came with your Razr.
- It comes with its own Prada leather case.
- It's tri-band, and as any good fashionista is aware, connectivity is a must in New York, London, Milan, and Paris...

Sold!

Ha! My bag is finally sold!..I should post this earlier, as it has been sold in exact 10 days after I put it on Saturday (Sunday is closed) in a second hand branded bag store at Central J town.

Bit flashback, when I arrived there, there were couple of visitors and I was kind of 'ignore'. It's okay, since I could take a look on what they have in store. Mm..collection is just so-so for the bag, the models are pretty old, and the pricing strategy are they put a tag with price (not so common for second hand bag!) with 10% discount (actually they just mark it up and discount it bag to arrive at a 'desired' price!). Luckily, the mbak2 has priced my bag, coz when I ask for a bit up of a price, they ask the 'nyonya besar' , she even gave me Rp 500,000 cheaper! Damn!

After more than a week, they sms-ed me, asking for about Rp 750,000 lower than agreed price..haha, no way man! it's already cheap, and the model are still in. Late in the afternoon, I ask how was it. They said, it's sold! C'mon, why I was not informed? May be becoz I already didn't feel comfy since the first time I was there (the lower price given by nyonya besar), I got the bad feeling that they could hold my money until I ask for it. Luckily, the next day, the transfered it to me..

By d way, they took Rp 2 mio as a profit @#$@#$! I should think open second hand branded bag huh? Lucrative business..

By the way, my ex-bag ;) is not too bad huh? Beside Paris Hilton wears it in white, Lindsay Lohan also wear it, but in different colour and size..





I like the way she dressed..
