Burberry

    Ada satu malam tu, aku saja tengok fashion show Burberry Spring/Summer 2013 dan aku ada nampak satu beg menarik dekat runway fashion show tu: the transparent Blaze bag.

    Surprisingly, ada orang jual dekat Carousell dan aku dah keliru nak beli beg ni ke beg yang aku mention dalam post sebelum ni tapi walaupun beg ni cantik, dia ada beberapa cons yang buat aku hesitate nak beli.

    Satu, memanglah dia nampak cool sebab dia transparent tapi bila kau isi beg ni, dia nampak semak sebab kau boleh nampak barang - barang dalam beg tu. Dua, dia tak de cross-body strap. Tiga, dia ada kaki dan aku tak minat beg yang ada kaki.

    So, as much as I like this bag, I think I'll go with the Cinda bag.

Old Feelings

    Semalam, aku keluar dengan seorang kawan aku ni dan kitaorang keluar sampai lewat malam. By that time, dah tak de train untuk aku nak balik tempat aku so aku stay dekat rumah dia. Malam tadi, aku tak boleh tidur. Old feelings came back, aku rasa sedih, aku rasa keliru. Perasaan ni memang dah lama membuak dalam diri aku tapi aku tak de masa nak process sebelum ni sebab aku sibuk dan penat. Aku cuba cari the reason aku rasa macam ni but I couldn't find it and eventually, I fell asleep.

    Hari ni pun, aku masih rasa agak pelik. Maybe I should be close to God again, I've been distant and astray for too long.

    Anyway, aku ada jumpa satu vintage Burberry biker-inspired/moto bag (you know I'm a sucker for this kind of bag) in beige patent leather ni and the price is around which RM1,000 which I think is acceptable. It's also an east-west sorta bag which I love (another style of bag I love is the hobo bag). Although I love patent leather, I don't have many bags and shoes in patent leather because they're of high maintenance, they get scratched and smudged easily, you can see fingerprints and dust all over them but, since this is a vintage bag, I won't have to really worry about it.

    Plus, it's from the Burberry Prorsum line which has been discontinued and I used to be fascinated by Burberry by Christopher Bailey because he was able to capture the essence of London coolness and chic so this is like me reliving my youth when I couldn't afford luxury.

Plot Twist

    So, kan dalam post sebelum ni, aku kata aku nak beli T-shirt Versace Goddess tu. Well, I didn't. Instead, I bought a vintage Balenciaga Motorcycle bag, specifically the Part Time bag, in mint green, from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection (I googled it!). Okay, it was an impulsive purchase because I started becoming obsessed with it last Monday and four days later, I purchased it. At first, I wasn't sure if I made the right decision because, obviously, since it's a vintage bag, it's not in mint condition and it's not my favourite colour (at first I wanted the City bag in lemon yellow but the seller ignored me so I had to find another one and I found this and I realised I prefer the the Part Time bag which is an east-west bag than the City bag, also, the price isn't too crazy and I plan to get it restored and repainted in royal purple next month and maybe get the hardware repainted as well in silver with mirror finish) but this morning, when I woke up, it dawned on me maybe it is the right choice because I can't stop looking at it, I think I love it.

    I do feel sad about not buying the Versace Goddess T-shirt yet. I will though, inshallah, sometime around this year. I hope it'll still be available in my size by the time I'm gonna buy it. I think it'd go well with this bag in royal purple, aside from the Versace Repeat bag. Also, at this point, it's become obvi I'm into biker chic even though I'm not a biker.

    Anyway, enough of the material stuff. I just wanna say, I might change my mind about this when I'm in a bad mood but just now, I sorta had an epiphany I'm in a better place than I used to be and I'm just thankful for that. Alhamdulillah.

    Alright, that's all for tonight. Goodnight.

Self-Reward

    Tinggal sepuluh hari lagi sebelum gaji aku masuk, inshallah, dan aku tak sabar sebab bulan ni aku nak reward diri - sendiri (bulan lepas aku kena bayar hutang). Aku plan nak beli T-shirt Versace Goddess tu, finally, after waiting more than a year. It'd be my first luxury ready-to-wear. Tahun ni juga aku plan nak beli glasses dan sunglasses Versace tu.

    Anyway, actually, aku tengah recover from a cold. It started last Wednesday, tekak aku rasa tak sedap. On Thursday, it got worse, hidung aku pedih gila so aku pergi clinic dan aku dapat MC untuk hari Jumaat, teehee. It got the worst on Friday, aku tidur je sepanjang hari tu. Hari Sabtu, alhamdulillah, okay sikit dan hari ni, I feel better than yesterday.

    Sebelum aku sambung tidur, aku nak cakap sikit. Satu, aku tengok dekat Instagram, orang macam pakat berlumba - lumba nak melancong, which raises a question, kauorang memang suka melancong atau sekadar cari content, nak tunjuk dekat orang, kauoang ada "life" dan benda ni buat aku jadi tak minat nak melancong. Akukan counterculture so bila ramai orang pakat buat satu benda, aku jadi tak minat nak buat benda tu.

    Dua, aku tengok crush aku tu pakai Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Loewe, Miu Miu, Prada, it makes me wonder, orang macam dia ni, betul - betul minat brand - brand ni atau ikut trend? Some of these brands are definitely trending at the moment and they're all a status symbol. Macam aku, semua orang tahu aku minat Versace. Sebab tulah, bagi aku, pentingnya kena curate your wardrobe sebab kalau tak, kau lose direction.

    Okay lah, aku dah nak sambung tidur.
