For those who are celebrating Chinese New Year, Kung Hei Fat Choi! π I hope the Year of the Rabbit will bring good luck to all of us! And since it’s a brand new year, let’s start the year right! Let’s welcome the Year of the Rabbit with a bag reveal! LOL! π
My first bag for 2011 came a bit early. I usually buy when I travel with my family around March or April. And since it’s pretty expensive to buy designer bags in our planned trips this year, I thought of asking a friend from London to get me this bag I’ve been meaning to buy for the longest time. π I already thought of getting this when I was there last 2009. My real targets at that time were Balenciaga Giant City and Chanel Grand Shopping Tote. Since Chanel GST was out of stock everywhere in London while I was there, I thought of bringing home this bag, which is in my must-have list too. But for some reason, I wasn’t bound to bring home 2 bags that time as the color I wanted wasn’t available. π I think it was in my horoscope that I can only buy a Balenciaga. LOL! Well, looks like the year of the rabbit is starting good for me. Horoscope says, I can now own one again! Haha! π
For those who have seen my Facebook page, I posted several status messages about this new Brit baby of mine. To get random fashion, beauty, gadgets and travel updates from me, just click the “LIKE” button in this link. π Anyway, for those who aren’t aware, you might be wondering why do I call her a “Brit baby”. Well, obviously because she came from London. I call my babies based on where I bought them. I prefer buying abroad since I can’t quite justify the price of designer labels here in Manila, especially the bags. Too much mark up, don’t you think?! π Anyway, enough of the talkies! Without further ado, meet my Brit baby… π
Yeah, it’s a Goyard! π Can you guess what bag is it???

It’s a St. Louis PM in yellow! π
Goyard increased their prices early this year. π Last quarter of 2010, I thought of getting this bag already and it was still priced atΒ GBP 480! And because I had second thoughts again, I now had to pay GBP 580! Ugh! π Well, I don’t want to dwell on my GBP 60 loss anymore. It’s done and what’s more important is she’s finallyΒ mine! LOL! π
Finally, a bright colored bag for me! π Enough of the classic colors this time. Though the black and the navy blue are nice colors, I had to control myself from buying them. I’ve always wanted something new in my small collection. I have too many black and brown bags already since I really prefer to go for the classic colors when it comes to designer bags. Since Goyard’s St. Louis is more for casual get-ups, why not try something fun and colorful this time?! And my first choice? YELLOW! Goyard’s shade of yellow is just impossible to resist. It can definitely be a pop of color in any plain outfit. I love it!!! πΒ A new bag for the new year can hopefully bring me loads of luck for the entire year! Hehe! π
P.S. Thanks to Ronn for going all the way to Mount Street to buy my baby! π
yay! it’s gorgeous π
