Sale items!

It's amazing how we, mommies so easily captivated and drawn to the magic word : SALE. May it be a household appliance, grocery items, commodities, luxury goods or even airline tickets ... we always justify our impulsive buying because of the logic : "great deal , and got it on sale!" LOL.

I am one guilty SALE-mania customer. Whenever I receive notice of sale items be it through emails, newspapers, magazines, text messages or letter inserts, I immediately feel the excitement and check out items on sale. This holds true with the Amazon coupons and Wal-mart coupon codes I saw online. The excited shopper in me initial instinct is to check the discounts and rebates available and decide what to shop online. This way, it gives me mental picture of my savings thus giving me options to buy more from my cash rebate. Just recently, I purchased Avent sterilizer from Amazon.Com. With these coupon codes, I was able to buy not only the bottle sterilizer at a great price, plus I was able to add few Avent bottles for the baby from the rebate. Great way to save, huh?! Try it. In this time of recession, coupon codes and discounts serves our shopping savior especially for thrift shoppers like me.

be home soon ...

yes, the husband will be home soon. He decided to cut his business trip short and instead of arriving this coming Wednesday, he'll be home two days earlier. Wonderful, since I miss him so much. Thanks to the Ramadan or Eid al Fitr at Malaysia, he was forced to squeeze all his meetings within two days due to holiday of obligation, Islamic religious observance : fasting.

Thus with this good news, he will be home by tomorrow afternoon. Very timely since will get to spend time with him as it is a holiday here in Manila. Together with the bratinella, will pick him up from the airport and proceed to Serendra for dinner. Really pleased he'll be here by tomorrow since I need to consult him about the roadside assistance package offered by our insurance company. I checked online and found good deal motorhome towing packages which is convenient and practical for car-owners like me. The auto club membership looks promising and I want to share this with the husband for reconsideration. Hopefully he'll agree me on this one.

The Dream Bag ...

... finally, dream no more!

It took me years before I've decided to take the big step ... that is, to reward myself with a C bag. I used to think that I don't deserve to own this. Not yet the right time. I was too young back then.

But now, I can say ...I've earned this. Been working hard for the past years and I deserve the ultimate gift for myself (actually, begged the husband to pitch in also!LOL).

So here it is ... my post-birthday, Christmas and "push" present gift. The Chanel GST. Made possible by very good couple, Abie and Howell . They lovingly and carefully hand-carried it all the way from Paris! Truly appreciate the effort (and pressure) of bringing home this baby. Notice how they meticulously brought the bag from Paris to Manila. Everything was kept intact. From the packaging, boxes, ribbons ..and even the gift presentation. It was handed to me almost as if I personally bought it straight from Paris store. I heart it so much that I even dared not to destroy the presentation without taking pictures (super thanks Abie and Howell!)

and finally ... the dream bag

project : bag business

Before I help the husband look for cad drawing specialist for their upcoming mapping office project, I just would like to share my new pet project which kept me so so busy for the past days ... my bag shopping website! I am still learning the ropes of uploading pictures and creating my website via multiply, and so far ... so good. First few posts successful, and I am hoping I can do more and learn to customize my site (not that tech savvy, you know!) soon.

Anyway, take a peek at my online bag store : http://www.thebaghagshop.multiply.com , my shopping website dedicated to wannabe baghags like myself. All bags certified original, still fresh and some slightly used. Truly affordable and budget-friendly. Makes owning luxury bags really possible and dream, no more! Please do check my bag site and tell me what you think.

Wish me luck!

Balenciaga Bag

Will I be a Balenciaga bag convert too? Some of my close friends already became a bal convert overnight. They swore that the quality, suppleness and softness of lambskin leather truly adds beauty to the bag. Plus the palladium plated metal hardware gives distinct ooommpph which you'll never find with other luxury bags. The bag design simple yet classic and very iconic. Hmmm...which I truly like! You see, I am one boring shopper. I prefer to stay on the safe or classic side of everything. And I think this bal bag will suit my fashion style (and personality)very well. Though if ever I do get one of my bal bag (which I need to save for x months from now), I would settle for Balenciaga Giant Day Bag. Safe and practical choice for office use. Now the next question .. will I get it in black, white or red. What will be your vote? --- yes, as much as I want to get all...I promised to have one bal bag only in my lifetime! LOL.

more online loots

Thanks to my online friend Glo. Finally, I was able to get these lovely RL dress on sale. At 50% ($28) off, not bad to collect all colors, right? Which is why I can't resist getting the yellow, assigned color for our family upcoming MBAPs Christmas party, white and orange for her alternate use.

Anyway, How I wish they also have these dresses on sale for adults too. I so want to get red, yellow and green for myself. The fabric made of light, cotton material ideal for summer wear. Perfect for tropical weather like here in the Philippines.

Now off to my online shopping loots for the little girl ... need to help my friend check out horse supplies available on the web. He's thinking of adding new line up of horse supplies at his animal supplies business by end of the year.
