Compass Internet + Pho Hoa + Jack’s Loft + Convertible Bags = Totally orgasmic!! :D

I hadn’t been to Robinson’s Galleria in eons and when I did, I was surprised. I swear this internet addiction just haunts me wherever I go. So I saw this huge Compass Internet cyberstation, which married Jack’s Loft and Pho Hoa. The lethal combination was just a recipe for disaster *muwahaha.. surfing for bags+ yummy food= a pleasurably *cough orgasmic* speedy death hahahaha*

There were a lot of people surfing there– well come on, it’s cheap for Php 40 per hour plus I got to order excellent food. Who wouldn’t wanna come by!
So I ordered the Salt and pepper squids (sorry I ate some before I took the photo hehe) of Pho Hoa (this would make the perfect perfect beer buddy *pulutan*), then feasted on this fudge brownie from Jack’s Loft *ohMahGawd check out that humongous whipped cream topping*.
It was sheer heaven I tell you. I was full to the brim and totally sa-tis-fied. There was a kiddie area where I just “dropped off” the kids for them to play too. So this was indeed a perfect little arrangement– food +eye candy + no noisy kids while I ogled at eye candy *muwahahaha*

Check out the bags I saw!! 😀

I am loving it, loving it, loving it! The idea of a “convertible” bag is just so perfect (which was why, on the more expensive bag scale, I love the Hermes Kelly– handheld and shoulder-carryable).

This topic needs no further introduction, so let’s hear it for the bags who made it to thebaghag’s list of must-have convertibles! 🙂

YSL. The Rive Gauche Bag in white. It’s just so immaculate looking! The bag measures 13″H x 15.5″L x 3″W, has handle straps that drop 6.5″ (perfect for the crook of your arm, or for your shoulders), AND has a detachable longer shoulder strap! I am soo loving this bag in this color and I just might chuck the idea of having an LV mirroire papillon to have this!! This bag just looks so good and it’s so hard not to like it! The Rive Gauche bag also comes in black and brown, at Saksfiftheavenue.com for US$1,495 *sigh*.

MiuMiu. This oversized leather tote just reminds me so much of the Lanvin Kentucky bag (which looove). I love the parallel belt design on the bag, and love the fact that the leather looks sooo soft and “plushy” *hehehe I said Plush*. The wrinkles on the bag remind me of a cute Shar Pei pup 😀 (photo credit: www.sharpei.com.au) Anyway, the size of the bag is 14″H x 16″L x 6″W. It’s just the perfect size for a pack rat. And again, the nice addition to this bag is its detachable strap. Priced at US$950 (not baaaad!!) at Saksfifthavenue.com.

WHO let the Leopards out *snarl… snarl, snarl, snarl*?? Now, I love the concept behind the detachable shoulder strap thingie (which by the way became quite the popular thing when Balenciaga came out with the Motorcycle bag), but kick my fat tooshie, I’d NEVER carry this Dolce and Gabbana leopard print tote. Sigh, Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana must’ve been thinking about one of my *cough* favorite relatives *nooo it’s definitely NOT my DM— she has classy bags. Hehee.. I shall incriminate myself no further* when they designed this tote. No harm in liking prints actually, but just don’t wear those prints all together to channel that “safari” look. Oh Gawd, it’s SO wrong… Ok…It’s HIDeouuuus *mental picture of that relative.. Oh. Mah. Gawd!* And eeks, top that look with this bag, and you’ll surely look like roadkill-“Out- of- Africa”. If this bag weren’t so expensive, I would’ve actually bought it for that person who’d just carry this bag with gusto. But no thanks, I’m such a cheapskate penny pincher, I can’t shell out US$2,275 to give this to her let alone buy it for myself (not that I’d want to anyway). *Muwahahaa warning, biatchy baghag on the loose!*

That’s it for now, this baghag’s gotta go back to the dogpound *too biatchy! hehehe*.
