Purse Temptation

Its been 3 yrs since I bought my first Gucci bag but when an SA (Sales Associate) from Gucci Outlet emailed me these photos, I can't help but drool, I can't contain my excitement... I was panicking yesterday when I received an email from her and in my excitement I almost deleted it haha... I am really a Gucci Lover and I won't deny that even before when I had the money, I chose to buy the Gucci bag instead of the LV bag. I find Gucci bags more elegant, simple yet classy. I mean don't get me wrong I like LV bags too but not as much as I like Gucci.

Here's the email I received yesterday from the SA. Some of the SAs from the store modeled the bags for me to look at.

Good Afternoon!

We received some new arrivals today! If you are interested or have any questions please feel free to give me a call or e-mail me back at the store. Keep in mind all sales are final, there are no returns or exchanges. I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks!

Sales Associate - Sorry I cant give her name here.

Purse Cravings

I guess everyone has their addictions, people take time from their lives to indulge in their habitual pleasures, smoking, drinking partying. If there was an AA (alcoholics anonymous) meeting for shopaholics then that would be me, I thought that I would stop looking at bags after purchasing my first Gucci but I guess the itch is still there, most people try to fight their whole lives against their indulgences but mine is harmless. I mean what can you do if you cannot afford it, I grew up with normal ordinary clothes and never once looked to see if the accessories I had were the "in" fashion at the time, so I guess I am trying to make up for those years that I missed out.

Here are some of the things that I currently crave but of course, it is practically impossible to buy these things unless I won the lottery, so I guess I will just have to whet my appetite and satisfy my fix by looking at these nice pictures.


1. Medium GG Mermaid Tote $419

3. D Ring GG Canvas Green Trim Tote $529. D Ring Wallet $289

A Measure of Elegance

People, most notably women have certain obsessions in life, very rarely do we see men or women become totally fixated on material things, to some degree collecting your object of desire is both addictive and exhilarating.

My husband is the perennial guy who loves electronics, right now that has to do with High Definition Video Camcorders and is salivating over the Canon XH A1, his argument is that it can be used to film the birth of our second baby but as I unfortunately told him, I do not want to be filmed screaming during my pregnancy in 1080p resolution LOL ;)

On my habits I tend to gravitate towards designer handbags, I was looking at this website a couple of nights ago and I remembered having purchased a similar bag, at the time of buying the bag I was thinking on whether to buy it or not, being a practical person I usually don't indulge on many things such as jewelry but my one failure is having a good bag.

The Gucci bag that I purchased last summer '06 has never ceased to amaze me because of its craftsmanship and the general look and quality. I love the color and of course the bag is very hard to be mistook for something else, now I know that some of you would say that some knock offs tend to look the same but in arguing I would say that you don't let your medical insurance agent handle the surgery, the surgeon does that job.



I bought that bag when I still had a full time job so in essence, it was money that I saved over from a time period of six months, so the decision to buy was not a spur of the moment but was a calculated thought of decision.



Right now I'm contemplating to buy a new bag from a different designer. I just don't know when but I will keep all of you posted =)
