Hi darlings,

Happy New Year!

So, have you decided which bag will kick off your 2012 bag journey, yet?  I may need some help.

Remember when I was looking for a bag to tote all of Baby #1′s stuff to Bris?  Back then it was between the LV Neverfull and the St. Louis Goyard.  As you know, the Goyard is not available locally and because I was in a hurry back then, I ended up with the Neverfull which proved true to its name but became the LV bag that EVERYBODY has. T_T.

I love my Neverfull (so does everybody else, by the looks of it).  But if you’re looking for a pop of colour in a bag that is the exact same shape and size as a Neverfull, the answer is the St. Louis Goyard.  And guess what? It is available in a gorgeous bright orange from here and it comes with a matching pochette!  I would so get it if I could sell my Neverfull.  But being a true Leo, I just had to have the NF stamped with my initials, didn’t I?  Take a lesson girls – only personalise bags that you know you’ll want to keep forever.  (Anybody out there with the initials MZ wanna buy a barely used LV NF? :p)

Theuglycloset.blogspot.com has this up for sale too.  I’m not big on LV but the shape of this bag has got me pining for it.  It’s just too cute.  Kind of like the speedy but with longer handles, perfect as a shoulder bag (which leaves hands free to juggle a baby and help a pre-schooler with his shoes).

 This is the LV Rivington PM, sister to the Cabas Rivington which is a tote with similar handles.  
Should I start 2012 with these two?  Or will you guys beat me to it?

xoxo,
Emm

Again, I repeat, he flies planes to places where BAGS ARE CHEAP!

No, my brother isn’t blonde.  Hanya gambar hiasan :p
 So, it begs the question of why I have yet to capitalise on

I have a brother who flies planes.  He flies planes to places where bags are cheap.

 So, it begs the question of why I have yet to capitalise on this fact and grab as many bags as I possibly can at a fraction of the price that I’d have to pay in KL, or Brisbane, for that matter.  Well, because my brother… the one who started flying planes to foreign lands even before he was old enough to apply for his own credit card is not unlike Forrest Gump when it comes to shopping.

Case in point #1.
I was in confinement and not allowed out of the house.  Therefore, just as he was leaving to go out on a date, I told him to come home with a couple boxes of Milo Kotak (does anybody else notice that Milo that comes in the juicebox tastes utterly more delicious than the ones in the can?).  An hour or so later, he calls to say that they’ve run out of Milo Kotak.  To which I tell him to get me the ones in the can.  He comes home soon after with my Milo.  In a can.  POWDERED MILO.  IN A CAN!

Case in point #2.
When he started flying the 747s, of course my Mum and I got excited at the prospect of bags available for our pickings.  So Mum decided she needed a Large Longchamp Le Pliage to stash in her travel bag for excessive shopping trips (I have unofficially categorised the Le Pliages as ‘need’ bags and not ‘want’ bags because of how useful, durable and practical they are).  Bro comes home from London to announce to Mum that he did not get her the Le Pliage as they were all so tiny that she couldn’t have possibly want one as it would not fit much.  My darling bro did not realise that all Le Pliages sold in shops were on display in their folded form!!!  (you about ready to pull your hair out now?!)

Tiny bags all in a row!
I suppose the only  possible way I can score a bag is to provide him with all the details necessary plus pics (from every angle) together with a letter addressed to the salesperson.  Even then, we can only hope.  *sigh*

Selamat Hari Raya,
Emm
