MBC: TomatoCan Pouch

Got this cute jap-style pouch from TomatoCan @ Marina Square some time back. My excuse was I needed something to hold all my barang barang when shopping. And it is really quite handy for shopping occasions. Check out the store for other nice designs and prints.
(RP: ~$13 @ TomatoCan)

MBC: Toscano Red Leather Doctor Bag

It was both excitement and irritation that hit me when I saw the Toscano Eyelets series go on a 50% discount at OG, Bugis (think they are still available). Excitement, because I've never seen a 50% discount on Toscano/Tocco bags, and irritation because I realised I have paid too much for my previous Eyelet bag. Since I liked the Eyelets series alot, I thought should get this red doctor bag too. Rationality has abandoned me, and flew out of my wallet. So did my money.
(RP: $399; DC: $199.50 @ OG)
Now for sale! $80

MBC: Guess Backpack

I was looking for a femine backpack for some time, so when I saw this particular one on a huge discount, it was an euphoric moment. Check out the beautiful prints of the inner lining, the nice hardware and accessories. There is a zip at the side for you to reach into the inside conveniently.

(RP: ~$160; DP: ~$70 @ Isetan Scotts, yes, again)

MBC: Mango Bags

I didn't think much of Mango bags before, but I chanced upon some nice ones on my last shopping trip to Isetan @ Scotts. And they aren't exactly over-priced, unlike some European brands, so I decided to get the two items featured above. The brown tote looks pretty relaxed, some sort of carry-all bag, and has got this soft leather feel I couldn't resist. The pink pouch is great for holding my Sony T100 camera. The pink material goes well with the gold hardware too, making it a classy steal. (Tote goes for $65, and pouch goes for $25, think both are still available in store now).

MBC: Traveling Toiletries Pouch

Love this pouch, would always bring it along for traveling. It's made of cloth material, so you could wash it in the washing machine if it gets dirty (not that it has before). And for about $25 (after discount), it is really value for money. Comes in compartments, and the largest section at the bottom of the pouch holds all your little bottles of shower foam, shampoo, moisturizer etc. Comes with its own hook so you can hang it anywhere in the bathroom. You could keep a lookout for similar pouches at Tea, esp when they have sale.

Some trivial stuff to kickstart the blog

Realised its been about 5 months since I last posted. Lotsa catchup to do on this blog =)

Decided to take some pics other than just bags to kickstart the blog. The first 2 pics feature a hello kitty house I got from a recent Sanrio sale @ Isetan while shopping with colleague HJ (she got hello kitty vcds). The house was an absolute non-essential trivial purchase, and the main reason why i got it was, it is really sweet to look at. I had to think hard what to do with it... and finally decided to use it to keep my gadgets (camera, psp, mp3 etc). It cost around $16, a huge discount from its original retail price of bout $30 plus.

Recently replaced my 3-yr-old PC and freed up some space on my table. The bottom 2 pics show what I've done with some of the space. You can probably tell I have nothing better to do with the space, with the crazy no. of bottles of nail polish in the last pic. Then again, it's quite fun to imagine it as my own diy manicure corner. I refused to let it be messy... sometimes I'll re-arrange the bottles after mom uses them. Yah yah I'm OCB. The nail polish mainly comes from the Faceshop, cos they are really cheap and good (i.e. Value for $!), only $2.90 per bottle. The nail polish remover is surprisingly effective. I'm collecting Bodyshop shower gel for fun too, prob has around 10 small bottles of them in different fragrances. The hoarding behaviour of a Taurus =p

MBC: Chiong Lesportsac - Sportspo

Many of us love the real thing for its design and exciting cartoon prints. I found this bag (along with some others carrying the Tokidoki design) at a push kart at Bukit Panjang Plaza level 1. It was a pleasant surprise as I've been eye-ing on the chiong lesportsac bags for quite some time online. What held me back was the possible poor quality. However, this chiong-ster has pretty good exterior quality, with a plain white inner lining, and even bothered to paint the zips multi-coloured (as seen from the second picture). Of course it is still nothing compared to the fine details of the real thing. However I'm happy with the shape and design of this foresty bag, and of course the price is a real deal: $19. Comes with a free small pouch.
