Just how juicy?
I have always wanted to wear a silver bracelet but never found one I really like. Part of this fascination with the bracelet is the fact that J has always worn one and he looks really cool! Seriously before meeting him, I have not seen a man who can carry off jewellery so well. Rings, bracelets, earrings, you name it, he wears it!
Anyway, the other night I found Juicy.
Juicy Couture to be exact.
I thought the gift box looks like a cigarette box!
Gosh, it's nice to wear something with a label that says 'petite'!
My B-Heart link charm bracelet :)

Like Finally!
Been meaning to get a copy and finally did so yesterday at Kino. My favourite photo of the General Elections 2011, covered by these photojournalists, is on the last 2 pages.
'Thank You' by Jean Loo
The original photograph is not in black and white.
Smells like pineapple
DizzyLizzy got me this from DFS. Isn't she a gem? :)
So pretty the pink box and glass bottle, I think I love the packaging more than the scent! ;)

81st
Ah Ma celebrated her birthday recently. The buffet lunch at Ellenborough Market Cafe saw 34 people turn up. All are family!
J and I were horrid. We were the first to reach the hotel but the only ones who forgot to bring her a gift! So the very next day, we went to buy her this.
J tells me that Ah Ma does not wear any gold. She does not have any. Many many years ago, Ah Gong's business went bust and she pawned her precious jewellery (I heard her dowry included) to make ends meet.
This is a very tiny bracelet we got her, nothing compared to the glitter she used to possess. Nevertheless we hope it will bring her a little joy and some good memories.

Shocking PINK!
That is all I can see when I look at my Shady Side Magazine Tote.
I love my big, roomy Frosted Felt Magazine Tote so much that I got myself another magazine tote. Unfortunately it isn't sold here and I could not see for myself just how bright the colours are. I know for sure that the pictures on the website are sometimes not accurate. But I took a gamble anyway and asked C to buy it for me in the States. The bag came yesterday.
Sadly, I cannot say it is one of my better buys. The tote looks prettier online than in real life.
The good thing is I wear a lot of black and the loud pink straps are a stark contrast against my clothes. That is one redeeming factor. :)
I know you can't see it from this photo but the base is a super neon pink.
Tag reads: be kind to others.

Resistance is futile
After one work trip to Hong Kong, the stitching near one of the handles had come undone so I sent my Beantown Charlie for repair.
The plan last night was to go collect my bag.
Cost? Zero. Repair is FOC for the first six months.
Alas, the plan went awry.
The 30% sale was not over and I left the store with 2 bags.
One contained Charlie of course but the other?
Hehe. I bought a Paley Paisley Small Natalie. :)
The colours are super cheerful!
It brightens up my bathroom just by sitting on the vanity top.
In the same paper bag as my Natalie was this tiny box.
Yes, it's jewellery.
But what?
Ta-da! I got myself a pair of Double Bow Studs.
Pretty eh? :)

Lucky gal!
Trawling the Internet, I found the kate spade Korean website. And my oh my what interesting stuff I found!
The search/find was kind of premeditated. While watching the latest Korean drama, Queen of Reversals, on cable 2 weekends ago, I saw the female lead carrying several kate spade bags in different scenes. That got us to think that perhaps kate spade is one of the sponsors of the drama. It also sent me on a quest to spot every bag the female lead carries in each episode. When it became apparent that she got to carry at least 30 different bags for the entire drama series, I decided to check out the kate spade Korean website.
True enough! They did sponsor the drama.
On the website, they even categorise by episodes, all the kate spade bags, jewellery, clothes and shoes that she wore. What an enviable role to be cast in!

Here's Taehee, the female lead, carrying a spotted haircalf madeline.
This bright yellow box-like bag is a head in the sand melinda.

Charlie is not a hobo
In case you think Charlie is some tramp, no no that's not what I'm referring to. I am talking about my Beantown Charlie not being a hobo bag.
At a gathering the other night, a friend asked if Charlie is a hobo and another said yes. Actually I beg to defer. I don't fancy hobo bags that much and certainly I don't think my Beantown Charlie fits the definition of a hobo.
According to Wiki,
The hobo bag is a style of handbag or purse that is typically large and characterized by a crescent shape, a slouchy posture and a long strap designed to wear over the shoulder. Hobo bags are made out of soft, flexible materials and tend to slump, or slouch, when set down.
My Charlie does not slump and is definitely not made of a soft material. Here's a picture as proof.
Beantown Charlie is my first kate spade and I have a soft spot for it. Please don't call it a hobo. ;)

Stock-taking
Remember the display cabinet we bought in February to store my bags?
Well, my bags have grown in numbers. Yippee Yay! :)
And I think there is still space on the shelves for one or two more bags and space at the top of the cabinet for a few more boxes. Muahaha!
To date, I have acquired these:
Beantown Charlie
Classic Noel Serena
Hit The Dock Stevie
Frosted Felt Magazine Tote
Sugar Hill Janet
Gold Coast Maryanne
Frosted Felt Quinn
34th Street Treesh
8 bags in 6 months, I don't think you can call me a fanatic... yet... right?

Nothing like
a pretty kate spade bag to brighten my day!
Among the new arrivals for June, I have decided that these are the ones I hope to get my hands on. Not all of course, maybe just one. :)
And this Crystal Spade ring will probably cost a bomb if it is sold at the local stores. Hmm, hope they will have it in size 6. :)

Meow...
We spent part of Saturday afternoon at the 'Cats of the World' exhibition.
Besides admiring the cat photographs on display, my other purpose was to buy some post cards or photographs if possible.
From what I know, the post cards are very popular and get snapped up very quickly at this exhibition. We were there at 3pm on the very first weekend and true enough some of my favourite pictures were already gone. The next best thing to do? Take photos of the photos!
