Celine Tote Dual Tone Cabas Tote Bag

This year, I was suddenly falling in love with Celine bags!!! Honestly I never pay any attention to this designer before but when Phoebe Philo started to revamp the fashion house, everything became soo fantastic!!

FYI she was appointed to become the Creative Director of Celine in year 2008 by LVMH after succesfully rebranding Chloe.

Just look at her design for Celine....:)   

Celine Boston Tote (in various sizes)

Celine Men's Tote

Celine Cabas

 ;
I totally drooling over those Cabas especially when Phoebe came out with these designs... :)

The dual colour just striked my mind!! (maybe its due to my Gemini traits!! haha....)

So of course I asked Ms Shopaholic to come with me to Celine Pavillion KL to checked out the totes....

When we arrived I immediately asked for the bag. Its look good and nice, its made from leather and very very soft ! (its made from Lamb Skin).

The price is alright (I remember its about RM3500 ish). I like it, but there is only 1 problem. It felt tooo soft I think if I carry this bag it will tear down in a minute!!

You know, I have this habit to throw anything that I have in my bag (my BB, Iphone, wallet, car keys, sweets, wax, perfumes etc) and I have doubt that it would be able to support the weight... :(

The other design that Celine has  in Pavillion which has a better and tougher leather cost RM6500 which is waaaay out of my budget. So I walked hesitatingly out from the boutique, of course with Ms Shopaholic.  
 

So from there Ms Shiopaholic comfort me and advise me that we can buy the same bag in Paris this year which much lesser price, and I quite agree on that notion..

So days goes by as usual until this month where Ms Shopaholic need to go to US to settle some personal matters.

When she asked me if I have anything in my mind to buy, I straight away google designers from America that has a unique fashion style. After a few days, suddenly my eyes popped out when I saw this!!!

     
It has the same dual tone tote bag that Celine has!!! and the tote bag seems to be very sturdy and masculine!!! I love this bag!!!!! Furthermore, it is a creation of an American designer which is Jack Spade brand, the Man brand opposite Kate Spade which created many many beautiful wonderful gorgeous bags.

And my eyes became even larger when I saw these!!!

 
 Not only it has dual colors but it also has a strap to make it as a messenger bag!!!!!!! Isn't that practical?? :):)

Without any hesitation I asked Ms Shopaholic to get me one of this bag!! I am sooo excited and I reallly really do hope that she would be able to find me this bag. I choose to buy the grey and red tote bag as above. I never had any red color tote bag and this is perfect for me...:) And the price!!! very very affordable...:)

After going through Jack Spade's design, I think this is a very smart brand. Its fashionable but in the same time practical and affordable. I would recommend anyone to have a look at Jack  Spade designs..you'll love it. Its urban and hyped.

But for those in Kuala Lumpur, you can only buy this bag from Singapore, we only have Kate Spade here.    


Therefore I really really hope that Ms Shopaholic will bring back this bag for me....pray for me ok??


 

This year travel plan??

Hi guys!!!!

Its been so long that we haven't update our blog. It seems that Year 2011 was so packed with loads of activities and happenings!! We are soooo busy like Lady Gaga + Kim Kardashian combined! And we really really need a time off!!! Really!!

This time, karaoke wont work for us, this time we need to go somewhere, travel some place, enjoying our time, thinking nothing but fashion fashion and fashion again....and of course enjoying the panoramic views of foreign country...:)

If possible, I would really wanted to complete the whole Fashion Capital of the world..:)

Perhaps my plan should be as follows :-
2009 - London - done
2011 - Paris
2012 - Milan
2013 - Tokyo
2014 - New York

Hopefully the above planning would be feasible within the timeframe..

Well, people says that if you just dream, it will stay as a dream...

In order to make it a reality, one must also visualize whole hardheartedly, and repeat again and again that you are going to all these places.

Only then the universe will work their magic upon your wish...:)

So lets visualize...begin with what are we going to wear for the flights?...mmmmm.

You know, this is the most difficult fashion moments one can experience. I mean, you want to look great when you arrive, waiting in the airport, but you want to feel at utmost comfortable in the 20 hours flight, and then you want to look at your best upon landing and coming out from the plane...

What kind of fashion style can match all that requirement?

I like the black one..:). It look chic and comfy..and gorgeous trousers as well...:) I dont think I would want to wear skinny jeans on a long flight!! The pants must be comfy and not in light colour...and the top should also be a fashionably simple but great if matched with a jacket..:)

So an apparel for long flights should be :-
1- Comfy/ Loose - as you're going to seat in one place for a looooong time..
2- Dark colours - as if there is a turbulance and your fresh orange juice drop, you pants won't have the stain.
3- Long sleeves shirt/ top - so you wont feel cold.
4- Cotton - so it won't wrinkled when you arrive. Stay away from Issey Miyake wrinkled shirt..or you may have a problem in the immigration counter...         

And what to do in Paris??

The new Hermes Store Paris at Rive-Gauche....lets go in....:)

What to buy?

Hermes Togo in Olive....:)
 

And after that....
we can go around the town in the new Bugatti by Hermes...  
 

All exterior made by Hermes .....luxury..:)

So after driving all round town, its nice to come back home at hotel and meet Ms Shopaholic and see what did she bought, but before that perhaps I should take a shower and ease myself...

Eh.....

 

She's a definite Shopaholic...

Salam Lebaran Syawal Mulia

Amboi Amboi Amboi... the mouth of Mr. Fashionista... Yess i love Saree.. but not that kind of Saree yer, I would not wear for Hari Raya anyway, however the pictures posted by Mr. fashionista was so damn exclusives.. i admiring the model instead the clothes ... imagining them without the outfit..(mmmmmm unbelievable )

For me, during festival season you always wanted to look glamorous and look fabulous. You need to go and shopping for it. Its time to spend money on this special occasions. I have tons of ideas what to wear;


1. This is GUCCI Kaftan... I will buy one eventually :-) different right.. asyik Baju Kurung jer.. Boring.....


2. aaahhh this is one.. very special, just for indoor party... later ( berpeluh-peluh)


3. mmmmm this one ( Korang Ada ) I will wear this at home and entertain my guests during Open House. I would recommend you to do the same.




4. ...or something like this.. but with legging ( black or white ) ... this is from Diane von Furstenberg.


5. This one is MINE. ...... fascinating.




6. this is GUCCI... I am sure Mr. Fashionista would like to turn it this outfit to male outfit. :-)


7. My favorite, Simple and Expensive. Go and get it Girls!!!!


8. If you want to loook different from others.... here you go :-) making it UNIQUE!



9. WOW .. this is one after long day of touring for RAYA day and if you live in tropical countries like Malaysia... this is much appropriate after long day :-)



10. If people said" Nak pergi Sembahyang" .. this would be the good one to wear.. right Mr. Fashionista?

These are the 10 fabulous items you gut should have. and for me I would want the best of the best.

Eid Mubarak Fashion Alternatives

 
In another 1 week we are going to celebrate Eid Mubarak which means victory to those who are able to hinder themselves from all the desire surround them in the month of Ramadhan..:) Now its the week that most of the Muslim prepare themselves by buying new clothes, new things for their house etc...to celebrate the victory..

Speaking of preparation, most of the Muslim will be busy buying new clothes like Baju Melayu for male muslim which is traditional Malay costume that is normally worn on the first day....

Since i'm into fashion, of course I will beg to be differ on that day! Furthermore, I am not used to wear the samping', which is kind of messy for me. As a replacement, I would go for a few 'replacement' clothing that still resemble traditional and style for the first day celebration.

Below are my top 3 fashion style for Eid Mubarak..

Nehru Jackets

Achkan

Sherwani

Modern improvised sherwani..

I think, it is very nice to wear the sherwani's with skinny jeans...its flatters the top and still into the current fashion streams...:)

In overall, Indian fashions are a really nice alternatives to wear on Eid Mubarak, its polite, vibrant of colours, scream fashion and its fun to wear! However, the price for these garments are not cheap. It will be around min RM300 to RM2000!!!. This is all because of the details, linings and handmade craftsmanship. And, on top of that, Sherwani costume would require at least min 1 month booking as it is only handcrafted for you..

Hmmm....Raya will be in another 5 days....

Maybe I should skipped the Sherwani's and try these Indian's inspired John Galliano's SS 2010/11 fashion then.....

Not vibrant enough ya? How bout this?.......

   

I wonder what Ms Shopaholic will wear on Raya....

Maybe this?

Indian inspired as well yanno!!!!......weheehhe.....

Anyway...Happy Eid Mubarak everyone..wishing you the best festive seasons, loads of relax and nice celebration ever.......and kalau ada salah dan silap tolong maafkan...:)

xoxo
