LV, LV and .. LV!



Hello hello hello!

I feel so bad for not being able to regularly update this blog for the last few weeks. I wish I could since I have so many ideas and outfits I wanna share here on my diary but just did not get the time. I've been crazily busy with uni now that it's nearly October. And that means more and more assignments and exams along with the stress. I can't wait to finish it so I have more time for my blog.

Alright, put aside all the boring stuff. Remember in my "Spikes & Studs" post I mentioned I was gonna do a post just featuring my little coin purse. Well folks here it is! I know it's a little late but better late than never right? :P




This is the little gorgeous box that it comes in. I can already feel the fanciness just by the box itself. I love how the box has the iconic Louis Vuitton brown color and also the texture on it, making it feel super expensive. I also love how they tie the knot with the leather strings. Love it!




There it is! The coin purse is perfectly wrapped in the famous Louis Vuitton dust bag. And the inside of the box has a very distinct smell of leather, which I absolutely adore!




The purse itself is in Taiga leather with a rather subtle iconic initials of Louis Vuitton. I think that's one of the reasons why I chose it in the first place. But to be honest, now I think I should have picked the Monogram one in the Women's line just because it's classic and you know.. it screams Louis Vuitton! lol. I think it's good to be obnoxious sometimes, especially when it comes to Louis Vuitton! Oh well! I'll make sure my next one would be in Monogram instead. :D

One thing I gotta say is that I'm a little surprised with its size compared to the one in the Women's line. It is a tiny teeny big smaller! You would think that the one for men should be a bit bigger since men's hands are generally bigger than women's. But this is not the case! Another reason why I should have chosen the other one!

All in all I still think that this is a very cute and practical coin purse for those who preferred a small everyday wallet, or even for going out at night. You could just head out to work with this baby in the morning, then go straight to a party after and still look chic with this coin purse.




Finally the interior of the purse! I love how roomy it is inside. It's big enough for your coins, cash and all your essential cards. See the middle slot? You can literally jam a few cards in there. That's why I can totally use it as my normal everyday wallet. One thing I wish they could have done is having a zippy slot separate for coins. It's just because the coins always tend to fall out every time I try to get a card out and it annoys me sometimes.

Anywho, I still really really love this coin purse/mini wallet. And have I mentioned that the leather smells absolutely amazing and expensive? Divine! I'm going to Rihanna concert tomorrow night so I'm definitely bringing this baby with me. Ooo and there's gonna be lots of photos of my outfits and the concert for my next post so stay tuned!

New season Old Wardrobe

So winter has officially finished here in Brisbane, now that it's already mid-September. But I have to admit, I kinda miss it still! I miss layering with a fabulous coat or a nice jacket every time I put on an outfit for a night out.
Anyway, now that spring has come I think I should sort out my wardrobe soon to see what I can wear for this season. I usually don't worry too much about what season it is and I haven't been much of a trend follower either. I practically just wear whatever I like and feel comfortable with. But I feel like I wanna add more colors to my outfits for this season just to give them more fun. It's spring after all! And guess what ? I just had a browse over my wardrobe and they are all either black or white or dark colors! I think the brightest item I have is the blue stripe tee and some other random blue tees (Yep I love blue too!). I need more colors! Do you know what that means ? Yes! Time for some new clothes shopping! We all love this part, don't we?
I've been eyeing on some sweaters (yes im still obsessed with them!) and other pieces at Topshop but haven't really made up my mind which ones I should get yet. I would get them all if I could for sure! Anyhow, here are some items that are in my cart right now:


How cute is this sweater! I know this is still white but at least it has a big fat pink teddy bear in the middle. And the teddy bear is fluffy too! J'adore!



I absolutely adore this little sweater! It ticks all the boxes for a spring item that I need now. Full of colors, fun and oh-so-sweet! And guess what? It's on sale too! It's definitely perfect and talking about it even makes me wanna get it more! 



There's a matching leggings coming with the sweater as well but I'm still not sure if I should get it or not. I mean I've never worn leggings before so I'm not sure if they're gonna look good on me. And it must be really brave of me if this colorful pair of leggings ended up being my very first ones. LOL! Anw, we'll see! I'm tempted though. They're just so adorable!
