My Birthday Presents

1:11 AM | Labels: , , , ,

Some of you might know, some of you dont... That I love to collect handbags. Sumpah rambang mata kalau tengok handbag. And to some of my avid readers, you should already knew about what is the only thing that would make my head over heels.... Designer handbags!!! Haha.


So your guess is right. Aku dapat handbag untuk birthday aku. Not one. But... Ermmm... Nine bags. Kill me now, I know.


Well... Five of them were presents for me, which one of them was from someone special, three bags I bought during Black Friday, susah betul nak resist temptation -.- And another one is the most special. Beg idaman aku yang dah lamaaa sangat aku tunggu nak beli. And I worked hard for it no matter what it takes. The one and only... Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM.


If you read here and here, I talked a lot about this bag. It was like the ultimate reason why I took a part-time job, that later I menyesal coz it costs lots of time and effort just to earn money. But it all paid off with the purchase of this handbag. But kill me now, again, coz right now I'm darn broke T_T


 Finally it's no longer a dream..


The birthday card that came with it

I bought this bag because I know it would be a good investment in the future. Do you know that LV would increase the price for their bags at about $50 to $80 a year? And the second-hand bags worth just like the new ones. The bag that has been used for about 2-3 years would be decreased in price for about $50 to $150 so it's still worthy to sell back. Unlike other brands, LV would not held any sale events, give discounts and such. So if you are planning to buy one, buy now before they increase the price. Lol.



My main purpose to buy this bag is to use it as a college bag. It would fit everything in it. Laptop, notes, textbooks, everything under the sun lah senang cerita. And later, it would be suitable to be used as a work bag, diaper bag, etc. So if you really planned to own an LV, consider this model in monogram print because it would last you forever. Plus, you could change the shape of this bag by pulling the straps on its sides. I really love to make a hexagon shape with this bag if I don't use it to stuff in my books.


Ok terpanjang pulak cerita bag. Next I bought a guitar. Saje nak belajar main guitar lebih serious lagi. That's why I bought the good one. Since I dont know what is the criteria of a good quality guitar, I asked some of my friends, my brothers, my fiance, and they all agreed that this is the best option for a beginner like me. It's Fender Starcaster. Bought it second-hand from Ebay, but it's in excellent condition. At first I thought of getting a pink colored guitar coz I think it would be cool if I rock em, but most of them are trashy. That's why I'm getting the ol' beige color.. -.-




Ok now untuk menjawab persoalan semua pasal what my fiancé got for my birthday... Well it's a bit of a surprise to me.. It's not the gift, really.. But the thought and the effort to make me happy is what I count the most. He got me an LV jugak, and he bought it a month before my birthday. That time I still haven't bought my first LV, so actually his gift is my first one. He used his first gaji to buy it for me, so I was really surprised by that. Well I dont have the photo. But it's like a mini Speedy where I could use it to keep my makeup on the go, or simply put my ID in it or keys.


Well, it was all came back to months ago. I was jokingly told him that if he got me an LV bag for hantaran of our wedding, I would love him forever. It was a joke ok, well I'd really love to, but I dont want to burden anyone. But he took it seriously and bought it for my birthday this year. Oh well... I love him more and more everyday :)


Presents from my parents are still on their way, so I'm eagerly waiting for something from Malaysia. Haha! I love everyone :)

Black Friday: Bag Madness

2:14 AM | Labels: , , ,

Since Black Friday last year aku tak pergi mana-mana, this year aku decided untuk ke factory outlet yang terletak di Woodbury, NY. Last minute punye decision lepas bukak akaun bank and kira bajet berapa nak spend. Huhu. Ohh btw kalau sesiapa taktahu, Black Friday ialah hari di mana dekat US ade sale besar-besaran, setahun sekali. And dibuat pada cuti Thanksgiving.


Perjalanan ke Woodbury ambik masa 4jam, so sepanjang dalam kereta tu menonong je taktahu nak buat apa... Kitorang gerak pukul 6.30pm, sampai pukul 11.30pm. Bila sampai je memang penuh dah orang. Sebab Woodbury ni kira macam besar jugak. And biasanya sale start masa midnight. So do expect yang semua takkan tidur semata-mata untuk shopping. Aku pun. Kitorang shopping daripada pukul 11.30pm sampai 7am.. Tapi pukul 6am aku dah surrender. Aku duduk atas lantai dekat food court and makan burger ikan sebab dah tak larat and mata dah merah mengantuk. Ni keje paling gila ok. Tak pernah-pernah aku berjalan satu malam tak tidur.


So dalam masa yang panjang tu, aku takde benda aku berjalan je keluar masuk kedai. Kalau kedai tu famous je, confirm kena beratur untuk masuk sebab kalau dilepaskan semua orang masuk kedai ikut suka hati, confirm kedai boleh roboh sebab ramai sangat manusia. Memang ramai gila manusia. Terutamanya Asians. Aku taktau la pesal masing-masing dok heret bag luggage yang besar setiap sorang.


So, dalam masa 8jam tu aku just borong ni je.. Still under budget so ok kot...

Hasil memborong.


Kate Spade. Dapat 70% diskaun.

Dah lama teringin nak beli satu bag Kate Spade, so bila dapat beli pada harga yang memang murah gila, memang susah untuk dielakkan. I love the lining.. Warna oren pekat.. 


Lama jugak beratur nak masuk kedai. Bila masuk, ramai gila orang. Semua handbag 70% off. Mana lah tak ramai orang serbu. Tapi 70% off tu untuk orang yang datang sebelum 2am. After 2am, semua handbag dapat 50% off. So now u know kenapa orang ramai-ramai shopping tengah-tengah malam ni.



Funny thing happened masa aku tengah try-try pakai bag ni depan cermin.. Aku macam tak tau nak decide warna apa, sebab design sama cuma warna lain. Then someone bawak bag berlonggok depan cermin, cakap kat aku "Excuse me" dia nak tumpang cermin. So aku ketepi sikit. Bila dah lama-lama membelek sambil berfikir pasal bag, tetibe dari belakang perempuan sebelah aku tadi cakap "Pilih la warna nude tu. I suka". Aku macam whattt? Melayu? Pastu aku toleh kat dia. Ohh Melayu rupanya.. Ingatkan Asian mana tadi. Haha! Rupanya baru perasan ramai Melayu dalam store tu. Ada dalam 4 orang. Tu lah gila sawan sangat shopping sampai tak tengok orang.. Tapi memang by the time dia bersuara, aku dah decide nak beli warna nude ni. Cantik...


Guess. 30% discount.

Bag ni masa memula nampak dari jauh, nampak cantik sangat. Bila pakai, OMG cantik gila like perfect sangat. Tapi aku tak beli. So aku tinggalkan kedai Guess ni sebab nak cari bag Longchamp. Sekali hampas, Longchamp takde sale. Maka aku pun berjalan-jalan lagi, but still tak dapat lupakan bag ni. So aku cari balik kedai Guess memandangkan aku dah sesat jauh. Sesampai je, beratur panjang ok line orang nak masuk Guess. Dah la sejuk mengigil pulak tu sebab outlet ni outdoor. Time tu dah potong stim. Aku taknak beratur. Tapi somehow aku nak jugak masuk and tengok balik bag ni.

End up aku beli.
The end.


Gambar semalam.

Percaya tak walaupun aku suka warna pink, tapi ni merupakan handbag pink aku yang pertama.
Tahniah diucapkan buat diri sendiri.



Guess. 50% discount.

Bag ni daripada first look, nampak cam comelsss gilooo. Bila aku pakai, nampak berganda-ganda lagi comel. Haha! So aku decided untuk beli since bag ni paling murah antara semua bag tadi and still under budget. Aku tau tak ramai akan minat bag camni, but tadi aku dah tanya my bestfriend, Fairuz, dia kata dude, comel gilaaaaa!!!!! 

I know righttttt?

So maknanya memang comel la tu sebab mata dia hanya memandang benda-benda comel je.


Selain dari tu, aku tolong kawan aku, Shifa untuk carikan dia handbag. Like random gila kot. Masa otw ke NY, dalam kereta aku tweet dengan dia, tiba-tiba dia agree nak beli bag. Aku takde hal pun nak carikan. 


Dia mintak tolong carikan bag satchel kulit yang berwarna brown, and size tak besar sangat serta design simple. Agak tough jugak mencarinya sebab tak banyak kedai jual bag warna coklat. Merata aku cari, end up dia setuju dengan bag yang aku jumpa dekat ALDO. So inilah dia bag tersebut.


Bagi ni memang cantik. Serious aku nak angkut jugak untuk diri sendiri, tapi fulusnya ngak ada. Duit dah habis spend beli bag tadi maka mengapa harus membeli bag lagi?? So aku just go straight to the counter tanpa pikir panjang. But then sumpah beratur nak bayar tu lama gila. 45minit for God sake orang kaunter tu buat apa? Padahal line takdela panjang mana pun. Aku time tu dah mengantuk nak makan, nak tidur.. So lepas bayar terus pergi cari food court. Sesat sekali lagi. Tempat ni besar kot. 


Makin hari nak siang, makin sejuk pulak. Mengigil-gigil aku time ni. Masa matahari baru nak terbit, kitorang bergerak pulang. Masing-masing keletihan. Memandangkan perjalanan ambik masa 4jam, driver yang tak tidur satu malam pun mengantuk. And there's something happened masa perjalanan balik tu.


Driver tertidur, so kereta pun melencong nak melanggar tebing jalan. Nasib baik member yang duduk sebelah driver menjerit, so akak yang drive tu terbangun and sempat control kereta. Aku yang tengah sedap tidur pun terbangun sebab terkejut sangat, and kereta bergegar gila, aku mati-mati ingat kita dah terlanggar tebing tu. Syukur semuanya selamat sampai rumah. And nasib baik aku pakai seatbelt walaupun aku duduk dekat seat belakang.


Semuanya gara-gara tengok video clip Anuar Zain terbaru, lagu Ajari Aku yang ada babak Nora Danish accident masa otw ke reception kahwin dia sebab kereta dia accident and dia tak pakai seatbelt. Memang membawa mesej berguna ok lagu tu so that kita semua beringat untuk pakai seatbelt walaupun duduk dekat seat belakang.


Ok sebelum aku start merepek topik yang lain-lain lagi, aku akhiri post ini dengan salam. 
Bye bye!!!!!

Things I Would Never Have Enough

12:18 AM | Labels: , , , ,

So clearly I enjoy shopping, which I shouldn't do coz I'm still a student... But this feeling..... I can't resist!! So whenever I do some shopping, I would check these items coz (1) Im enjoying the beauty of it (2) Im planning to buy one. Lol. Talk about self-indulgence, Im good at it. Then feel guilty afterwards. Like always.



So these are the things that I 'enjoy just looking at em' (and secretly buy em afterwards). The list could go on and on, but these are the list toppers.


Clothes
My bad habit is that I always try to convince myself that I need a new shirt or jeans for something something when it is really not necessary. Like I don't need those, I always end up with bags full of clothes. Making decision is hard.








Handbags
Since I've been staying in the US, branded handbag is everywhere and it's very tempting. It's hard to control myself, so I always end up with a new pricey bag. But right now I try to hold myself a bit coz I'm saving up for the bag of my dream. Just wait until I reveal what I got for my birthday this year coz it would be a huge achievement for me! It is different than 2 years ago, where I usually went with quantity over quality, but now no more. Right now I value handbag more than a just bag. To me, it is more like an investment. 



Lipstick
This is my favorite section, especially at Walmart, coz this is the first section I'd encounter when I enter the store and Walmart carries many brands at cheap price. I would really like to own all the colors, hence that's why I always buy in bunch, and visit this section regularly. It's so fun experimenting with new colors everyday, and only girls know how it feels like.

Autumn '12 Fashion for Hijabi Ladies

11:01 PM | Labels: , , , ,

So yesterday Belle and I didnt know what to do so she came to my house at 1am just to play dress up.. Haha! Very obvious that we two gals were bored to hell. Btw we are neighbors so takde hal lah kalau nak lepak malam-malam.


Lately, since dah start kerja (it has been 2 months already, cepatnya!) aku memang banyak gila spend. Like BANYAK gila spend untuk beli snack, makeup and baju. Paling banyak sekali baju. Next post I will show you how mad I shopped. Kalau shopping biasanya aku tak tengok brand sangat (unless if it is my favorite brand) tapi aku just beli mana yang berkenan, cantik and harga mesti taknak mahal sangat. 


And baru-baru ni I really like to see some girls rockin the patterned jeans, like it is really in trend right now. So I decided to purchase a few, coz I really love how colorful a jeans could be. However, lepas beli patterned jeans ni terus jadi blur. Like I never imagined that it is so hard to pull this off awesomely. Someone must be creative enough to rock this. And so I went to my bestfriend. Ehem, Mr. Google, to check how the fashionistas do it. Here are some inspirations. 






Since this is my first time buying patterned jeans, I was like blur gila taktau how to mix and match the jeans with what kind of top, shoes and everything. So I asked Belle. Belle macam expert gila, so she really helped me with this.


So here are my new patterned jeans.

And these are how she does it. Let me tell you.. She's an expert!!!

Ok next style pulak banyak baju-baju yang still fresh lagi baru keluar kedai, still new. So, saje minta tolong my friend untuk style kan coz sometimes I need to be outside of the comfort zone and think outside of the box. Hehe! Maybe could be give you some ideas untuk stylekan baju korang pulak?

So, 13 looks have been sorted out, that means I dont have to worry about what to wear for the next 2 weeks. Lol. That's all for today.. So which one is your favorite?

2012-2013 Wishlist

9:52 PM | Labels: , ,

Aku tahu agak tak guna kalau aku buat wishlist ni dekat sini sebab bukan ada millionaire nak belikan untuk aku pun, cuma takpelah.. Kalau takde sesiapa hadiahkan, aku nak beli pakai duit sendiri. Haha! Kelasss kauuu... Maka, mari kita lihat apa wishlist aku yang mesti di'fulfill'kan dalam masa 2 tahun akan datang ni. Sila doakan aku berjaya!



Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM Handbag



OR

This is perfect for college, work, hanging out and urghhh I wanna get this right now!!!


By the way, I found some good tips in identifying a fake LV bag here:


Macbook Pro



And of course I would balut it in pink.



Since laptop aku sekarang makin buat hal, this is a right time untuk tukar.
DUIT, sila cepat sikit datang!


The Latest iPhone

Rasanya among all, yang ni paling possible untuk dapat within the time range.


OK, can't think of anything else.. That's all in my mind now.
Tunang saya yang 'romantik', sila buat-buat paham yeahhhhh!

Bahagianya Bershopping di Thrift Store!

7:43 PM | Labels: , , , ,

I think anyone who knew me well would know that Im some kinda shopaholic.
Haha! Tapi one thing yang baiknya pasal aku ialah i know where to shop n berjimat.


After settled down dekat Penn State and dapat rumah, barulah boleh bernafas lega.
Kalau ada yang baca post aku yang lepas, mesti dapat merasakan bahawa tensionnya aku tak dapat beraya dekat Malaysia. Ye, memang stress. So, bagi mengurangkan rasa tension tu, aku pun membawa diri bershopping keseorangan naik bas. Kedai tak jauh pun, jalan kaki pun boleh. Tapi sebab aku ni makhluk pemalas, aku ambik bas. Alasan sebab berpuasa tu sangat kukuh ok bagi aku. Bagi aku. (-__-")


Memang aku dah lama teringin nak ke kedai Thrift Store yang banyak jual barang-barang lama, terpakai, vintage, antik, and macam-macam lagi yang korang boleh panggil. So, bila aku gerak tadi, tu lah kedai pertama yang aku aim. Bebudak kata barang kat kedai tu murah-murah, baju-baju semua just USD1 each. That's why aku nak pergi tengok. 


At first usha-usha baju, aku tengok harga semua dalam range USD1 - USD3, tapi not bad laaa.. Lagi murah daripada kedai Goodwill. Tapi aku budget-budget laa jugak. Aku ambik 2 kasut and 6 baju, so total dalam kepala aku kira USD16 la sebab satu barang tu USD2. Tapi masa kat kaunter makcik cashier tu tak kira pun berapa banyak barang yang aku ambik. Dia suruh aku masukkan semua barang aku dalam beg kertas yang besar and so, total aku ialah USD3. Aku cam ternganga at first, so aku tanya dia balik betul ke die kira tu. Yelah, warga makcik-makcik kan.. Tapi dia kata betul sebab ada offer, separuh beg kertas tu USD3, kalau full USD6. Memandangkan aku ambik barang just sampai separuh beg je, maka total aku ialah USD3. Wahhhh! Pengsannnnn kejap.


Then next stop ke kedai Goodwill pulak. Kedai ni agak famous sebab jual barang-barang terpakai termasuklah baju, perkakas dapur, perabot, mainan, and macam-macam lagilah. Ada banyak jugak branch kedai ni dekat US. Kat sini aku memang aim baju-baju dia pun coz sejak dah berubah penampilan ni kena la beli banyak baju sopan-sopan. And plus reason aku borong baju banyak-banyak ialah sebab aku bawak satu beg baju je from Malaysia, makanya takde variety. Aku sangat rasa terkongkong dengan betapa limitednya baju yang aku ada, that's why aku nak jugak shopping.


Now pejam mata cepat-cepat! Coz lepas ni anda akan menyaksikan betapa lame nya aku tak reti control hawa nafsu masa setan-setan kena ikat. Larikkkkk!!!



Yes, begitulah banyaknya baju yang aku beli, and masa untuk beli ni sume dalam 2 jam je dah settle. Bagaimana dengan bajet, korang tanya? Ohh masih under control!


2 dress +3 kasut + 1 selipar + 2 handbag + 15 baju + 3 knitted sweater untuk fall season = USD62
Untung sangat! Kalau dekat Malaysia memang aku dah bankrap.


Yang best nya kat sini, banyak gila barang branded boleh jumpa. Setakat brand GAP, Liz Claiborne, Isaac Mizraahi, Forever 21, Guess, Nine West, Escada, J Crew, Mossini, Moschino, Banana Republic, and banyak lagi bersepah ade kat kedai tu. Kalau pandai cari, dapat laa yang best-best.


Tapi among all, aku paling suka kasut ni. Dah lama aku cari loafer yang tinggi and selesa, and guess what, aku beli kasut ni for less than USD1. Brand Dockers kot, less than 1 dollar.. Still in a very good condition, takde yang kotor and rasa cushion and selesa sangat bila pakai. Actually banyak kasut-kasut vintage lain yang hotstuff gila, tapi tak beli sebab saiz kaki aku macam anak gajah.


Ohh wait. Hari tu gak aku bli seterika ni for USD4 only.. Dekat Walmart mahal kot, USD19. So, USD15 penjimatan. Lol. Kepochi sangat kan.. Errrkk ok bye bye!

Okay, pasni siapa nak ikut aku shopping sila angkat tangan!!!!
