Purse-a-holic (Bad..bad..bad girl)
This isn't what it looks like!!! (Famous last words, huh?)
I acquired all of these bags over the span of a month but thanks to shipping they all seemed to get here 1 day after another. =x Well, except the Harajuku bag which I purchased at an actual store.
My new lovelies
Lets start with the Tokidoki shall we? =p If you remembered I ordered the Astronuta print stuff from one of those sale websites. They warn you that they ship nearly 2-3 weeks after the sale ends, then I had to wait another week for it to get here so it took almost a month for it to finally arrive.
I was really nervous about the size of the Nobile Hobo, I was hoping it wasn't tiny. The styles I buy are usually large (like the serena) but to my surprise the size is perfect! The fabric isn't fantastic, but its not dreadful. This particular print would've greatly benefited from the old silkier fabric, however it's still a reeeally cute bag. I would not have paid retail for it but for the price I paid I'm very happy. :)

When it comes to the Compagno wallet I am ECSTATIC! This thing is a BILLION tines better then the denaro, yes a BILLION! The fabric isn't so slippery that cards will slide out there is a TON of storage and card space and it's very well made. So so happy with it! I think I'm happier with the wallet then the bag. I'm regretting not getting one of the other color wallets from the sale.

Lots of compartments!
Then there is the Cartolina. You have no idea how long I agonized over buying something in this print, months! lol All of the pictures online made the print looked washed out and it wasn't until I got confirmation from the forum that the bag wasn't washed out that I started looking for the tote. The tote was long sold out by this time. :( Then I decided I wanted the Nobile and the only place that had it was Giant Peach...but did I really want to pay outrageous shipping AND tax? *sigh*
So I waited and resisted then magically it restocked on karmaloop! There was only 2 bags and I bought one immediately. I got it tax free and with 20% off! Soo happy I waited to buy it. They were OOS on the wallet by that time.
I love this bag, I love it sooo much! I didn't think I would but I honestly thing this is my new favorite bag. =x The print is so gorgeous and fun, the new style fabric totally works with this print and its just friggin ADORABLE! This is my new baby, haha. Now I want the matching compagno and I still want the tote or the elegante. *sigh* I've been so bad lately I must try to behave.
Tokidoki Nobile in Cartolina
I like this slightly better then the figures
I saved the worst for last. *sigh* Maybe this isn't Tokidoki's fault but rather my fault for buying something so against my norm. I wanted something for the new print but because I'd just bought the cartolina the DAY BEFORE I was trying to behave. So I thought the crossbody Partenza bag looked cute. Also with this print I thought a smaller bag would suit it more.
When I opened the package a big "whomp-whomp" sound should've played. This bag is tiny, especially for being only $30 cheaper then the nobile. And honestly there is nothing to it, I look at the makeup bag and it looks to be better made. This is just like a pouch of fabric with a zipper. Did I mention its TINY! The print is nice but so/so too. I wish it was a bit more vibrant. I am returning it and am unsure if I'd purchase anything else from the watercolor collection. Maybe it's just the style of bag thats making me not like the print? lol Can't win 'em all I guess? :)
Tokidoki Partenza crossbody bag
There's no structure to it... =/
I do like the understated see-through logo however
I was looking at the bags in Nordstrom Rack when I happened upon the Harajuku bag. I tried to resist it to the best of my ability but it was Blaise and my sister that finally talked me into it! lol It's so cute and my biggest justification: I don't own a bag in red yet. =p

Yes. So I've been bad. No more!! Unless I find a good deal on the Cartolina Compagno/fascino tote.
