The one that got away

Have you ever hesitated to buy a bag ?
Or procrastinate, to be exact ?

Because somehow you thought that there might be a better bag or better deal waiting just around the corner?
Then forgotten about it for several months as you get busy with work, bla bla bla ?

But after a while it kept crawling back in your head and you ended up thinking about it over and over again ?
Especially after you got some spare cash in your bank account and itching to get a new bag ?

And then when you finalllyyyyy made up your mind to buy it, you found out that it is no longer available ?
No longer available in the sense that not even on Ebay or Bonanzle or Craiglist ?

It's like the dinosaurs !!
It has been extinct !!
No where to be found !!
Ever again !!
huwaaaaaaa... I'm crying my eyeballs out for this ! 

Presenting, the one that got away from me..
Coach Camel Patent Leather Hailey, Style # 14323

So, tell me, what's yours that got away?

Let me know, perhaps it can make me feel much better.. sob.. sob..

Stunning Steel

..not stainless steel, but STUNNING STEEL...
hehehe...
Ever since I bought the Coach Madison Large Steel Leather Sabrina, style # 12949, I have been seriously in love with the Madison Steel collections.

I love the fact that it's pebbled leather, with the shiny golden bronzie shade and the pop-up striking dark-pink lining! Wuhuuuu!! I love the lining the most actually!
I almost bought the Coach Madison Steel Leather Julianne, style # 12974, but after giving much thought on the illogical of having two large bags of almost the same style, I managed to sadly suppressed myself..

And until I found these babies!!
I'm in absolutely steel-content! Wehuuu!!
Presenting my new steel family members, Coach Madison Steel Leather Checkbook Wallet, style # 41986..

.. and Coach Madison Steel Leather Hobo, style # 12944

I'm a sucker for its hot-pink lining!!

This hobo is not that big, nor is it small either.
It can fit the checkbook wallet, my iphone in coach heritage stripe wristlet, my compact powder, lipstick, a pack of tissue and my car/ house keys in coach soho wristlet!
So, it is actually very spacious indeed.
In case you are wondering, here are some features of this hobo:

• Zip-top closure with leather zipper pull.
• Pleated front and back.
• Exterior zipper back pocket
• Lightweight Italian leather with subtle texture and polished finish.
• Coach Horse and Carriage embossed print on the front.
• Three Coach hang-tags.
• Interior zip pocket
• One interior cellphone/ multifunction pocket
• D-ring to clip and accessory or keyfob
• Size 13" (L) x 5" (H) x 2" (W)
• Single shoulder strap attached with brass oversized dogleash snap, which enables you to clip on any extra strap if you wish for crossbody sling, or you can loop the existing strap onto your belt hook to transform it to a pouch style.

After a few weeks of using this hobo for dinner outings, I reached the conclusion that I actually can travel light.  It is surprisingly possible for me to not-carry-everything-but-the-kitchen-sink when out and about in short period of time, and I sooo need to get this in other colours too! Bwahahaha!!

Pretty in Pink

I love pink!
Well, who doesn't, right?
It took me quite some time to finally found the perfect pink bag!
Actually, this has long been available in the market, but it's me who hesitated in getting it because it comes only in small size.
If you had known me, all my Coach Madison Sabrina are in large size.
But I had to make the special exemption for this.
It's just too lovely to pass out.
Finally, I have succumbed to its temptation..

The bag of the day was Coach Madison Medium Leather Pink Sabrina with brass hardware, style # 12937.. featured here with the Coach Heritage Stripe Pink Khaki Wristlet, style # 43556..

In case you're wondering, here are some features of the bag

• Zip-top closure with leather zipper pull.
• Offers both satchel and shoulder bag functions with convertible strap.
• 22" extra detachable strap can neatly slides to the bottom of the bag when carried as satchel via the two 11" length with 4" drop leather rolled handles.
• Lightweight Italian leather with subtle texture and polished finish.
• Brass Horse and Carriage logo on the front.
• Three Coach hang-tags.
• 4-bottom feet studs for protection from scuffing.
• Interior zip pocket
• One interior cellphone/ multifunction pocket
• D-ring to clip and accessory or keyfob
• Size 12" (L) x 5" (H) x 4" (W)

After taking it out several times, I've concluded that it's not that small after all.. and most important is that I don't look like a giant carrying a doll purse..
But I did struggle a bit to fit my stuffs into it.. had to leave behind the small water bottle and folded umbrella..
phewww.. thank god it didn't rain today! 

Do I need a brown bag?

Seriously, I have not been using a brown coloured handbag for almost 6 months!

I actually sold my Coach Madison Op Art Brown Julianne, style # 12963 about 3 months after purchasing it because I find myself using it only once!
And why is that?
Because with my brown clothings, I prefer to match it with the Coach Madison Large Steel Leather Sabrina, style # 12949, it simply pops up and looks more stunning.
So anyway, despite the fact that I seriously can live and have been alive without any brown coloured bags all this time, I still wonder about the 'perfect' brown bag.. yeah, we will talk about other colours later, but this time, it's about brown, chocolate, dark beige, khaki, camel or whatever shades we may call it..

I'm thinking this, Chanel Bubble Quilt Bowler Camera Sac in Dark Beige (picture found in coolspotters.com) which exactly that my dear irene-alia has. 

 

or the similar collection, Chanel Bubble Quilt Flap in Brown as seen on Blake Lively

But seriously, this particular one has got me thinking for some time..

Louis Vuitton Damier Trevi

I just can't get over it!
The chequered chocolate pattern looks sooo yummylicious!
But I'm worried about matching it..
I'm so in dilemma..
Will it suit with all my outfits?
Will it match with my floral skirts?
Will I need to pair it up with plain clothings only?
How about my stripe tees?
Should I stay away from chequered shirts?
Goshh!! I've never been soo attracted to this damier prints before like I'm having now with this trevi!!

Hmm.. so, what do you think?

Missing The Legacy

I was wearing grey shaded clothing today and as I was about to pick which bag to use, it stabbed me right into my heart that I'm missing my one and only grey.. Yup, I recently sold her to funds up for new purchases..
So here's a tribute for my ever so gorgeous Coach Legacy Garcia Leather Grey Tote, style # 12705.

Who would have ever thought that this perfectly gorgeous grey shade is fit to pair up with pink!
She was part of the 2008 Coach Legacy Collection and made from the super soft yet very durable Italian Garcia lightweight distressed leather, with antique brass hardware.
Check out the Legacy Stripe sateen fabric lining, that's the star of the show.

 

In case you're wondering, here are some features of the bag

• Breakaway zip-top closure
• Brass Turnlock front flap closure.
• Hidden front slide pocket.
• Gussetted double 10.5" drop strap with stud detailing
• Gussetted sides with adjustable belts for extra room area when needed, also with stud detailing
• Matching Garcia Leather hangtag
• 4-bottom feet studs for protection from scuffing
• Interior zip pocket
• Two Cellphone/ Multifunction pockets
• D-ring to clip and accessory or keyfob
• Size 14" (L) x 9" (H) x 6.5" (W)

 So, guess what I ended up using to match my greyish toned outfit?

 

Yes indeed, you can never go wrong with the perfect black bag!

The bag of the day was Coach Madison Large Leather Sabrina with brass hardware, style # 12949

My Ongoing Love Affair with Sabrina

Who?
Well, let me introduce you to one of the Coach Madison Collection, the Sabrina!

Yes, it all started with this picture of Michelle Trachtenberg with green patent Sabrina. (picture found in tpf)It was March 2009, so, I simply asked hubby for it as my birthday present. From the picture, hubby said it's an ugly green but he still bought it because I was so determined on it.
And when it arrived, wallaaaa!! He got the shock of his life! As the green turns out to be more than stunning! Introducing, the Coach Madison Large Green Patent Leather Sabrina, style # 12948This marks the Sabrina love affair! I love that it can be hand-held, and comes with detachable strap for shoulder carry. I've fallen deeper in love with it each day and unable to fight the temptations of buying several more.. well, another 5 to be exact! hahaha..
