I got myself a Gucci... wahaha!!!

Yes, go ahead... accuse me of wasting my moolahs while the economy is taking a severe beating... Hey.. someone's gotta do it... if everyone stops the C, the GDP outout goes kaput! I am doing my country's economy a favour!

Anyway, went shopping today for something from the Coach Amanda series in purple... but I left Orchard Road with a Gucci instead..

Too bad, the thing about Coach is always that their more popular items will always get sold out really quick... (thank goodness I bought my limited edition pink one early!) needless to say, with all that rich jewelled tones, the Amanda collection was long gone already!

Being the LV lover that I am, I still had to make my pilgrimage to the holy Mecca of Parisian handbags - LV... Haha, I know that I am definitely not going to get myself an0ther LV... i think I am starting to recognise the folly of my ways because that doggone Passy in Ivoire Epi costs 3 times as much as the Gucci I just bought.

Still, I just had to pop in to take a look at the amazing array of candy colours that the Alma now comes in for the Vernis leather. Frankly, after seeing the real thing I am not that enamoured anymore... Amazing... I hail this day that the Alma in Amarante Vernis no longer moves my heart.

Anyway, after having trawled all the hallowed halls of LV, Chanel, Dior and Fendi (I almost took out my credit card for a Celine by the way... gorgeous colour that yellow) I decided to take a final look at Gucci before I walked out to TANGS.

I was almost ready to walk out of the store already when the nice SA Emily took out the bag. It was greyish brown GG plus canvas with white leather straps handstitched to the bag's main body. Big and roomy, it was almost the size of the largest LV Neverfull but comes with a zip which I like.

Took the bag to use today like 2 hours after I bought it and I love it.. hehe! Waterproof because of the GG plus canvas which has been treated and yet secure enough with a zip... dumped my umbrella, drink container, cosmetics blah blah but still got lots of room.

Hehe, love it!
