LV Speedy is still LoVe

Title is a weeee bit misleading but as much as I'd like to, the LV LoVe series is much more $$$, so no deviation from my old flame: the LV Speedy.

In Ireland the Louis Vuitton Speedy costs about SGD800 only!!! For the same price you can only get a second-hand here.

Promised my friend I'd post this so that she can check things out better and know which ones to get for me she'd want.

Gah I just realised how impersonal this blog is, my friends don't have names, they're just "my friends". Gahh.

My friend, Ting, is psyching me to get the LV Speedy from Ireland, and I don't know how she's doing it, but it's working -_- For the next 2 months I'll be having zero life thank you very much. *cries*

1) Monogram 30 vs Monogram 25

Seemingly the only difference between the 2 is size, so it would make sense to get the cheaper 25. Besides the size difference is not so great. Let me go look for the exact dimensions...

According to eLuxury.com:
Monogram 30
12" L x 8" H x 6.5" W
Monogram 25
10" L x 7" H x 6" W

But it's shape and number of prints are also different. While I think I'll be content if I get either, I prefer the more complete look of the Monogram 30.

2) Louis Vuitton Monogram Neverfull

Another bag to look out for would be the LV Neverfull, it's relatively affordable for its size and I love it because, no surprise, it's an oversized carry-all.

I saw someone carrying it and immediately took a liking to it. Because it's oversized it had a slight slouch that I really loved.

In fact I loved it so much, I almost stalked the person carrying it. I wondered why she kept sneaking glances at me and then hugging her bag tightly, lost me in the crowd.

In Singapore I heard it's sold out at boutiques I think, heard it's light as well.

Is it just me, or is the bucket bag becoming a new trend?

P.S. Hope that helps, Ting the fartface speedy :) Ireland is boring :P

P.S.S. Is it $SGD10 or SGD$10 or SGD10? Oops.

The Oversized Prada Bag

I finally went to town over the weekend!

First, I want to karaoke again! This time with vengence. They installed something into the karaoke system that FORCES you to stop. Bah.

Second, I was shopping for boots for a NINE YEAR OLD. Even I don't own a pair, are you kidding me. And they were such a pretty pink pair and bears the same price as a pair of cheap adult boots at $60 with 20% off.

Third, my mother is a perfume freak and I think I am slowly turning into one.

Fourth and the true purpose of this entry, I saw someone carrying a Prada oversized carry-all that I saw online before but thought it looked pretty blah but it looked fabulous on him.

I even exclaimed "that is a gorgeous bag" out loud and did some blatant finger-pointing at the bag. I don't do that.

Unlike the slouchy oversized carry-alls that were so last, last season, his was structured, yet has this sort of casual elegance about it.

Perhaps it was what he wore. For the record the man was wearing casual polo tee, khaki pants and nice leather shoes.

I looked for the bag online but can't seem to find his exact one.

It had the structure of this Tod's oversized carry-all:





But it's made out of canvas and leather, probably adds to the casual feel of the bag. Like this Prada travel bowler:
And a similar tan colour scheme of this Prada Juta/Python Frame Bag:




Can I have this Prada canvas flap tote instead? Darn it, why can't I be a rich brat too?

Cool, blogger has new features!
