more :(
went to orchard yesterday (ALL BY MYSELF!) and was planning on going to topman to find the pair of sneakers for j (because i have a $40 topman voucher and if i don't use it soon, it's going to go to waste). bloody topman had a private event going on (turns out it was closed for the after-party event for their SFF runway show).
so i spent a good 4 hours ambling along orchard. i <3 paragon - i see far nicer bags there than at taka. case in point, i only saw the LV riveting bag at dior in taka. but while milling around paragon, i caught an indonesian tai-tai with her ostrich birkin (it had a patina on it) and her daughter was carrying a silver reissue. whilst walking past the miu miu store, i caught some chick with a suede coffer too. as for me? i test-drove my chanel ultimate soft. the inez closing down sale sucketh much, bcbg's s/s line is pretty tempting and i didn't know there was a miss selfridge in paragon. pah, i really wanted to have some profiteroles at bakerzinn, but figured it might be kinda awkward to sit at a table for one and have my profiteroles. meh.
went to dior and zomg, they have the cruise collection gaucho clutch in black (and pink, other than the fug purple that was on display). at $2200, i'm better off pining for my hermes blue-roi lizard bearn. :(
oh i finally went to the main LV branch (in taka) and saw the dentelle. chewingballs is right, the dentelle line looks better in photos than in real life. the gold lace while more "complementary", still looks to chi-chi blingy for me. the silver one was a no go. they have a coeur in store, FYI, but it's the multi-colour, so i don't know who in their right frame of mind would buy it. the jasmin epis are o-kay. went to try out the mini-lin (finally) but HATE the feel of the canvas, it's nasty and cheap feeling.
got lukewarm service at chanel (MEH, even though i was carrying ulti-softy!) and i'm disgustingly tempted by those paris-biarritz bags. DISGUSTINGLY tempted. there was this hokkien tai tai there, very getai-esque and storming around the boutique asking to see this bag and that bag and exclaiming real loudly "no no i don't want the classic bags! i don't carry them anymore!" i saw the poor SAs show her the paris b bags, the cotton club and even the outdoor ligne. at this point, i'd like to just say that the new cambon in beige (with beige patent CCs) are fug as hell and nobody should consider buying it. ever.
well all i did was have donuts (hell, i'll settle for any donuts even if they aren't from krispy kreme or dunkin' donuts) and contemplate the level of awkwardness if i were to get a table of one at crystal jade for XLBs. DAMN! I REALLY WAS ONE ESCALATOR CLOSE TO JUST ORDERING MY XLBs and enjoying them by my lonesome self (pathetic).
went to topman (finally) at 8pm, recognised someone from runwaycity but i'm not one for going "OMG HIIII!" topman, as it turns out, has a different stock (for their shoes/sneakers) as compared to the UK. so i'm shot to bits and the trip up to topshop was worse - tonnes of teeny boppers wandering about and bumping into me and giving me a massive heart attack because was carrying ulti-softy and the ulti-softy is called that for a good reason. retreated to toilets but was bombarded by EVIL HEAVY AMERICAN ACCENTS from some international college chicks. it's like listening to nails scratching on a chalkboard, honest to goodness. WHY? THE WHOLE WORLD DOESN'T NEED TO HEAR YOUR AMERICAN ACCENT FROM A THOUSAND METRES AWAY, mmmkay.
am too dirt poor to continue buying my diorsnow items so am trying out el-cheapo ZA white, we'll see how it goes. paris, i'll tell you if it works so you can tell your mom. all i can say is, the diorsnow line smells heaps better than the ZA line.
i want more of those taiwanese sausage thingmabob from bugis village. :(
