sana friends kami ni kris aquino*


i, the girl who likes all things coach, kate spade, and jimmy choo, for some reason, feel no affinity towards louis vuitton.

maybe it's the fact that it's the most faked pattern ever.
maybe it's cause i read somewhere that not even the LV store in greenbelt can say whether your LV is real or not (they have to send it over to france to have it checked there).
or maybe, just maybe, i was one of the few many who never understood what the charm was with those crazy multi-colored monogrammed bags.

honestly, that was downright tacky.

but then i got myself a back issue of harper's bazaar (feb 2005) and there on one of the pages was louis vuitton's happy cherries bag.

and finally, the girl who refused to buy her first ADULT purchase in the form of a louis vuitton damier bag, fell in love with something from the summer collection.

i want, but unlike coach bags that miraculously appear from kind cousins-in-law and kate spade shoes that can be bought with 13th month bonuses, this is one thing that i cannot definitely work in my "bum-on-an-allowance" budget.

*last summer, alma moreno guested in the buzz during her birthday week. kris aquino asked alma what she wanted. alma said, a louis vuitton bag, and kris, after pausing for a minute, said ok, she'll send it within the week, otherwise, she won't be kris aquino. i wonder if alma did get that bag...

lifestyle asia and the philippine tattler and all the chi-chi magazines are raving about aranaz bags.

last sunday, i checked out their bags in rustan's shangri-la. cheapest was around 5k. the lovely bag i salivated over? 7k.

today, i organized my bags. and what do you know.

i actually own an aranaz bag.
