Gallivanting at Greenbelt 4


Yesterday was such a beautiful day. Apart from the attack of the allergies (almost asthmatic I might add) and my throat’s reflux *thanks to all that coffee I had taken during the holidays and then some!*, it was a real nice day. I was pleasantly surprised with the Louis Vuitton Christmas gift that was sent over to me by the wonderful peeps at LV *special thanks to RheaDVA who just got married last December!*.

It’s the LV “Icons” book. There were pages upon pages of droolworthy bags to have!! *Melting baghag alert!*I was actually reading about that at Preview Magazine (Judy Ann Santos cover). And speaking of Preview Mag, I love the cover– it is soo summery and inspiring! Colors, colors, colors is what it’s really all about 🙂 *Go get a copy of it– there are some serious LV eye candy in that issue too!*

I also have to thank my galpal EAI who had to send me this enormongous cake *woohooo 1,000,000 calories here we go again!!*. It was really heaven in a cake and muy delicioso *oh my that’s what happens when you watch that cartoon show Dora the Explorer haha*

Oh and that’s not all! Baghags AG and HT (check their site Denim and Pearls— they sell custom- made bags too!) sent me some more sweets *Those yummy Chicago style caramel apples can be ordered at (0918) 240-6070* that they personally made themselves! I received their macaroons in the past and boy did I devour them all in two days! (And you wonder why I harp so much about those excess pounds I gained?! Tsk duh hello no self-control!) Speaking of these baghags, they do take orders for these confections that they make. Aiiyoooo, so much for my diet.

Sooo ok, I went to Greenbelt 4 yesterday. Oh my my… well there was absolutely nothing left at Gucci and Prada. But Bottega had a bit of a surprise for me *and so that was just terrible, right?* They have this bright yellow intrecciato satchel which used to be somewhere about 85K, and they were selling it now for 27K! If you happen to come across that bag this weekend, I suggest you get it. It’s a small bag, but it’s really a remarkable price for an intrecciato Bottega. There is also the dark lavender intrecciato hobo which is now 25% off. It’s something like 75K. Sigh another yummy bag to own!!

Confession time! Ok, I bought the larger version of that bag I just talked about. I could not resist. The price for the one I bought would’ve easily set me back by 100K, but because it was on sale, I only paid something like 35K. It is still expensive (and like I said, I’m not really in a position to be buying any bags right now since I sorta want to implement that “4 bags only this year” rule haha), but it beats paying full price for a Bottega.

Bottega Veneta is one of the more “underdoggish” brand, especially here in Manila, where a majority of baghags would prefer monogrammed bags over non-monogrammed ones *I’m one of those baghags haha, guilty!* But in all honesty, a Bottega bag quality-wise gets my 100% rating because of the leather they use. *And psst, I am not trying to justify my purchase here… well, ok I am.. sorta haha*

Here’s yet another reason to save up. Come February, Louis Vuitton will be launching yet another line. So, perhaps there’s something yet that we hags might want 🙂

P.S.
My friend JenCC has finally launched her website which sells baby stuff– ingenious cloth diapers, slings, and uber chic maternity wear. If you are prego and sick of those tent shirts, then check her site out at www.next9.org Congratulations, girl! The site looks fab!

P.P.S. Ack! Here’s one shameless plug! This just in– a beautifully printed Pucci north south bag! It’s still brand new, with the handles still wrapped and tagged. Very clean and measures *8.5L(base)* 12L (rim of bag) x 10H x 4.5W inches. If you don’t yet own a Pucci in your bag collection, this is one of the bags to have. Priced at Php 20,000. If interested, please SMS text (+63916) 758-0857

Have a good weekend everyone!

  1. Hi Mrs. T! I hope you don’t mind me asking but how much did you get your Miroir Speedy? I really like it and am hoping to find it…and I’m praying that it’s within my budget! Sorry to ask but I searched in Eluxury.com but it’s not available!

  2. veronica: Eeps I dont really remember how much it was because i received that as a christmas present. but i do know that they no longer sell that in stores, except some shops that have the alma voyage and the keepall. The speedy bags however, are gone 🙁 They wont have that bag in eluxury for sure. 🙁
