the look: vintage top, vintage skirt, vintage brooch, vintage heels, elastic belt, thrifted bag

I am loving this beach scenery canvas tote bag which I picked up from SA thrift store. I have been this adorable tote bag few days in a row. I love to put all of my stuff inside this bag; purse, mobile phone, keys, facial tissue papers pack, coin purse etc. Hhmm... maybe I will hold on to this bag for a while whilst looking for another (leather) tote bag. 

Hope you are having a lovely weekend. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

ysl bag 2



ysl bag 1


Only recently I have began to like YSL bags. I like its clean and simple designs. And how the Y shape is cleverly outlined on bags. Another designer to put on my list. And I am wondering if I should look for vintage YSL bags for my vintage bags collection... hhmm...

It is Friday and hope you will have a nice weekend.

lovin my bags and bag spa experience


store

Good news! Lovin My Bags is now available in Malaysia since April 2012. Some of you might ask what is Lovin My Bags? I learnt about Lovin My Bags through a website selling vintage Chanel bags. Lovin My Bags (LMB) offers handbag care products and handbag cleaning service.

I bought a vintage Chanel bag few months ago and the bag needed some cleaning. There was stain on the back of the bag. At first, I wrote to LMB in US to check if they ship internationally for their products and I was so happy to find out that there would be a store in Malaysia soon. I waited patiently for the store to be opened to send my vintage Chanel bag for cleaning. 

I checked in my bag for a bag spa. Initially I was advised that they would be able to clean about 80% of the stain thus it would not look 100% new. And I agreed with that knowing that the stain has set for probably a long time I purchased it. 

However, Lydia, the principal/director of LMB Malaysia, decided to send the bag to US for further cleaning after the Malaysian crew has cleaned the bag. According to Lydia, she was not happy with the outcome of the first round of cleaning. After about three months, I was informed that my bag was ready for collection. And I can not wait to see the outcome....

I am so thrilled to see my cleaned bag. Well, wouldn't you? The bag looks brand new. A big thank you to Lydia and her team for going the extra mile for my bag. Much appreciated.

In order to take care of vintage Chanel bag, I was advised to purchase Most Delicate range as this range is designated for delicate leather such as lambskin. As for Antibacterial Cleaner, it is an additional product and it was a gift.

another vintage floral skirt


4 july 1

4 july 2
the look: thrifted top, vintage floral skirt, vintage belt, thrifted granny loafers, thrifted brooch

Yet another unaltered vintage skirt. I think at some point, I need to keep some or few untouched vintage skirts.Or perhaps when I feel like to shorten the skirt, I might shorten it in the future. Anyway, what I like about this floral skirt is the watercolour like effect floral print. 

It is middle of the week and two more days to the weekend- yay!
