403. Fendi Petite 2jours

Here it is! My new Fendi (Mini/Petit) 2Jours bag! I never used to like Fendi..I always saw it as a brand for "older" people but in recent years it seems they're targeting a more younger crowd. Or maybe it's just me getting older with different tastes lol.
I think this colour I have is called "Lake Blue" (it says "Lago" on the tags). Originally I wanted the Nebula Blue which is a beautiful pastel light blue..but of course, our Holt Renfrew location has such a limited selection and never received it. I think I put my name down on the waiting list for this bag back in May. I wanted either a black one (gold hardware), coral/orange/red or the Nebula blue. My SA emailed me every time there were new bags in..which was a total of about 1 or 2 new Petit 2Jours every month and a half or so. None in the colours I wanted.

Eventually the new Fall/Winter colours came out, and eventually I gave up on Holt Renfrew and called the boutiques in New York (I considered a trip there if they had my colour in stock) and Hong Kong (I might be going there sometime this year) to see if they still had the Nebula Blue in stock. I found out they didn't have it in any of the stores across the US, and Hong Kong's boutiques only had the new colours. Plus it would be quite a bit more expensive if I purchase it in the other cities. I realized I was out of luck so ended up getting this one instead. It is newly released and part of their Fall/Winter 2015 collection!

I kind of want one of those bag bug keychains to hook on the bag..they're so cute but ridiculously expensive. This Karl Lagerfeld "Karlito" one is like $1700. I think the others are about $500-$700 or so.



Anyway here's more photos of my bag. Too bad they didn't have a Fendi box :(






The interior matches the Holt Renfrew wrapping!



A few days ago I brought in the tag to get my initials heatstamped..should be getting it back sometime this week!

402. Recent Life

Picked up a brand new bag last week! If you follow me on Instagram, Facebook, etc I'm sure you'll have already seen it. I will post some photos of it in my next post. It's a Fendi Petite 2jours. The colour I got isn't on the website though for some reason..

As much as I love this bag, I realized in the past couple years that I no longer get as excited as I used to about material items (which is a good thing). These days I am more into spending on experiences (mainly travel) rather than things, or saving/investing. I'm going to head out to Holt Renfrew again after I finish this post to get my initials heatstamped on the bag. Hopefully it won't take too long (I've heard it can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks?!). I also have a gift card from them that I picked up at the private shopping event last week. Now I need to force myself to buy something else hahah. This probably relates to my previous point but I'm having the hardest time buying clothes these days. I usually only buy something when I REALLY love it. In the past, I always find 3-5 things I REALLY love whenever I go to Holt Renfrew, but my past few times there I found nothing. I don't know if it's just me or their selection of clothes is getting worse now. The only brands I like these days are Clover Canyon, AQ/AQ & Smythe. Hopefully their new collections came in.

401. Paris | Montmartre

I love Montmartre. All of Paris is really photogenic, especially the little streets of Montmartre (in my opinion). I went there when I visited Paris in 2012. I only spent a few hours there and didn't take nearly enough photos.
