Shopping Sunday Continues...

More Marc By Marc Jacobs...

Yes, the past Sunday I went to Marc By Marc Jacobs again...another bag, another shopping Sunday, another dent in my wallet...oops, but another happy me, and another Marc By Marc Jacobs goody for me.:-P And no..it's not the 'Marc The Jacobs' Tee...I have not bought that yet:-P

(Oh BTW, M By MJ's shopping bags is one of my favourites! I like the paper chosen for the bag and embossed logo. Love toting that around.:-P I know I am silly. Next to this is the Prada's Bag with the nice white ribbon, and Bottega Veneta's carrier bag with the outside knotted design. My most hated shopping bag design is from D&G. Followed by Miu Miu pink bag, the strap breaks easily as it is only glued! What are your views about shopping bags from luxury brands?)

My MANy Bags Trendspotting #09

Nice And Easy With Cardigan, Shirt and Shorts

Hey I have that pair of Zara checkered shorts! I blogged about the white and blue version here before. So cool, I have not seen any pics of the shorts being worn before. When mixed with navy blue cardigan and a light blue shirt, the red checkered shorts adds a gorgeous splash of colour! All 3 items make a great combination! Easy to pull off and perfect for Singapore's erratic rainy and hot weather these past few days.

Exploit the shorts look as much as you can before the summer trend is over. Anyways, Singapore is all year round summer. So this look stays relevant throughout the year here. I love shorts!

This cute guy from NYC, named Ian wears:
1) Cardigan - J. Crew
2) Shorts - Zara
3) Shirt - H & M

Goes to show, you dun have to always wear designer pieces to be chic!
BTW, I wish I had thighs like his!:-P What do you guys think of this ensemble?

Gender Bender #28

Louis Vuitton Suhali Lockit Voyage

What is wrong with me?!?! I am blogging about Louis Vuitton twice within a 3 day period? I have never been too much of a fan of Louis Vuitton:-P Have I been slowly 'corrupted' by my fellow bag bloggers who are mostly LV fans? You guys know who you are!

Well, that will be a 'mystery' to be uncovered for another day...what I know now is I just found another bag candy that has got me drooling. This time, it's from the ladies range but again, size makes a whole world of difference and a guy can easily carry this around and look exceptionally chic! Gender Bender bags rules!

The bag I am talking about is the 'top of the LV range', Louis Vuitton Suhali Lockit Voyage in black! I cannot find any info. on the Louis Vuitton website as this could be a brand new addition to the Suhali family. I got to know about this bag from www.louisvuittonlover.blogspot.com. Excellent design and size. If it is any smaller, it looks like a handbag for gals. But at this huge size (almost 2 feet), this makes a perfect man bag. Good for travelling and using it daily. Works like a tote day to day and becomes a luggage for weekend trips.

Made from the softest goatskin and features gold brass pieces (not overwhelmingly, thank goodness!) this bag shouts pure luxury! If only I have close to SGD 8K to splurge:-P

On second look, even the Suhali GM (Price: US $3760 or SGD $5750) looks great for guys since it spans a width of 17.3 inches (43.7cm). Unfortunately, I called LV Singapore and they told me the black or white version for GM size has been discontinued. What's available is the GM size in Sienne, which is a lighter yellowish brown. How sad, I can never find the perfect version of LV in Singapore!)

Short Tailored Jacket And Rolled Up Sleeves Rule!

Check out the picture of this cute swedish guy in his effortlessly, wonderfully coordinated attire! Brilliant choice of colours. Love his short blue tailored jacket, with the sleeves rolled up. What a great way to make he outfit look casual and yet smart. I adore the nonchalant feel of the way he makes those sartorial pieces look relaxed. The boots, the ankle length pants and the safety pin brooch are all superb touches. Nothing more nothing less...just right amount of little touches.

Swedish guys dress so well! It's guys like him that inspires fashion! (Click on pic to see enlarged details)

A Shopping Dilemma #03

Marc By Marc Jacobs Pop Art Style 'Marc Of Jacobs' Tee

I tried on this tee on Sat. I am wondering if I should get it. Do you guys think this tee is worth to buy? I like the pop art style design, the screen dots and the huge irregular 'Marc Of Jacobs' slogan. Kinda silly and does not make sense. I always like quirky, make-no-sense fun tees. :-P This one is like those pulp comics lettering...'terror of Blah Blah Blah' nostalgia feel.

Just wondering if I should get it.
