Handbag Pick of the Week: Cole Haan Casey Hobo

Posted in Fashion, Handbag Picks | 0 comments

I’m feeling really frustrated with my internet connection right now. Its slow and intermittent so I can’t blog as much as I used to.  I have problems uploading photos of stuff I wanna feature so posting has become a chore. Sigh. Well, I don’t have much choice. But still, I strive to post on the site at least a few times a month. Hmmm, I may not be able to blurb and blah about african mango and other things of interest, but I guess I won’t pass the chance to pick a handbag to feature..

I missed a few weeks of my handbag picks! I was browsing a lot of sites selling handbags and this one caught my eye. I think this would be perfect for casual day outs.. Cole Haan Highline Casey Hobo. It’s available at Neiman Marcus at a discounted price of $190.80. Love the casual yet elegant look.

Shoe Pick of the Week: Alexandre Birman Phyton Wedge

Posted in Fashion, Shoes | 0 comments

This is a pricey pick. But then, when I pick out a shoe or handbag to feature on my weekly picks, the price is my last consideration. I usually just pick items that appeal to me. I guess this one is now becoming a repository of things I love but can’t buy? Well, I might need a huge disability insurance payoff first to buy some. Kidding aside, I don’t mind though coz this blog is here anyway for me to share and appreciate stuff that are pretty and stylish.

Shoe Pick of the Week

My pick for this week: Alexandre Birman Caged Lace-Up Python Wedge available at Neiman Marcus for $825.

I love the latticework design and this is definitely flattering to legs of any shape or size! A wedge with a great vavavoom factor.

Handbag Pick of the Week 18: DVF Lytton Snakeskin Clutch

Posted in Handbag Picks | 1 comment

Here’s my 18th Handbag Pick. Diane von Furstenberg’s Lytton Snakeskin Clutch. Lovely isn’t it? They are elegant, very handy and comes in lots of colors! I think if its me I wanna have all colors – coral/black, green/black, or blush/black animal-print watersnake. What caught my attention about this little clutch bag aside from the print is its rounded structured body. Not your usual clutch right?

I was thinking I already posted it coz my Shoe Pick of The Week has been up for a few days already. Lol! to me. I just forgot to post it!  I’m becoming more and more forgetful, and no this ain’t no thermogenesis effect. I was simply caught up with lots of things to do, added to the fact that I am really getting older. I think its time to take out the supplements and eat more nuts. More Handbag pick next week. See yah.
