The Ultimate GO-Yard mommy bag



I have been abusing my Chanel's for the last two months. Although my jumbo in caviar has served its purpose for being the "tough-ie" chanel bag still it did not do justice serving the mommy needs I require. I was out most the day and had no driver for this week, I brought my jumbo caviar because I needed the space, well it was ok but the double straps kept bugging me as they kept twisting each time I put it down and get it out when I move out my car.. and it got quite heavy after hours of walking... My LV totes were heavy as well like the Mahina, and the trevi. So what's left to do? Get a supper light tote that is ultra light and dirt proof, so that spells GOYARD st. louis!
Ive been crazy over this tote for the longest time, but w/ the bright blue color that will go w/ my soccer mom type outfit. I used it today I was amazed of light and comfy it was, no zippers so things are easy to get in and out. It's simple, just a tote but an amazingly classic tote that will delight every stylish mom, thanks for letting me share!!!

Pictures of my Chanel phase, actually my most used fave bags




Here ya go, these are the babies that keeps up w/ me for the past 3 months... I need another baby to go w/ them so they can have their beauty rest... they are the most active in my Chanel collection so far well I cannot say collection actually since Im not planning to collect.. I just need to buy what I need, the one I can use practically w/o baby-ing it. Ladies, NEVER BE A SLAVE OF YOUR BAGS. I learned that from a fella purse addict, makes sense come to think of it right? how the hell do you enjoy your bag if you are a slave of it so Im trying so hard to live u to that!! cheers to purse addicts!

Chanel phase

My love for this brand started way back in 2003, well... Ms Nicole Richie and the Olsen twins is to blame. I adore my vintage Chanel in Navy Lamb Gold hardware, its just a medium so not much stuff fit in it, I love it because its classic!!!! it goes well w/ my casual mommy look, it serves its purpose as my lethal weapon/cherry topper for any look. Next to my ms. vintage is my current fave Ms. Jumbo Caviar in Silver Hardware, a friend bought it for me in hongkong, ms purse-nality of the purse forum hand carried this baby all the way from the airport till here in Manila, so she's quite memorable, Mia also a dear friend from Hongkong also helped me track her down. All my bags has their story to tell, each one unique and special. As of the moment Im in my "Chanel Phase" why? for the glory of style and comfort ofcourse!!! they are quite small compared to my LV's and what every mommy needs... A HANDS FREE BAG!!! currently Im on my quest for my mini in caviar but in the perfect blue.. Oh did I mention that Im an all time sucker for BLUE!!! hahah...all my friends are aware of that. Blue and white make up my entire closet. But believe it or not I still do not own any cute blue bag, I saw my perfect blue bag at the purse forum already! So Im actually itching to have it!! oh the agony of waiting is terrible!!! I need a cute crossbody bag and that equals to a chanel mini. I want to do a reveal of my all time fave bags from LV soon so stay tuned its gonna be good.

Getting fit for the perfect fit?


It has always been a struggle for me finding the perfect pair of jeans.. Gap has always been my brand for jeans Im forever a size zero. But then there is no such thing as perfect right?
My undying love and quest for a good fitting pair of denims never ends.. I recently bought 3 pairs of jeans from gap. All size zero, yeah they fit well at first but at the end of the day they loose their snug fitting form.. hmmmmm I swear I want a snug fitting jean that last's the whole day! weird as it may seem I hate the stretchy kind.. yup they don't feel right for me. I just want the regular ones... very weird and none sense dilemma for some but hey big deal for a mom like me. Also Im trying so hard to get physically fit again.. go back to swimming maybe? I eat right.. allot actually! maybe not enough but at least it serves its purpose heheh! Im a junkie gal. Anything Junk I love to eat!!! So maybe I really have to be "fit" as well to have that so called "perfect jeans", and that may mean not being underweight.. I stand 5'8 and I weigh around 116 lbs or so, I guess more workout will end my quest for finding my perfect jeans.

Shoe time, show time.


Its been all about shoes for me these previous months... hmmmm needed for work is the ultimate excuse? I adore flats for so many reasons, standing at 5'8 I guess I don't need heels that much. Flats goes a long way... from shorts to jeans I just love them they look so decent and neat in any attire. Would like to share my recent shoe family, by the way I hoard at times mainly because Im a size 9 or 10... another excuse to get away w/ shoe shopping since local brands here in Manila rarely produce big sizes.

Dressing up w/ ease... classic style...


Dressing up has been a challenge these days, since I started working again I had to combine corporate look and casual dressing at the same time. In as much as I want to "dress up to the max" i can't since I still attend to mommy duties before I go to work... hmmmmm oh I forgot to mention that I work as Vice president for marketing at the advertising agency my family owns. That's right advertising agency. So that requires dressing up nicely, I prioritize comfort ofcourse.. I love jeans, jeans and jeans.. w/ a white or black shirt and my cherry topper.. I throw on boyfriend jacket or a knit top from tyler. And when it comes to shoes, Thank God for Stella Luna's!!!! their flats are amazing! and the heels??? sinful.... tsk, tsk, and being a big time purse addict I have to rotate my beloved bags on a regular basis, from LV, Chanel, and Balenciaga... these are the brands that gives me sleepless nights w/ additional spending problem season after season!!
