Wow only when I decided to write this entry and did my research and then I realised that they are so many bags that look good in orange. So would you be getting an orange bag soon? I know I still saving up for my Hermes Birkin in orange. ;-)
 
After a long day at work, most people would just chill out at home, meet up with friends for dinner, "plonk" themselves right in front of the tube and watch programmes after programmes, well for L, I choose to be "trigger happy" --> MY MOUSE!! Random surfing of blogs, online websites, blogshop, well you get the drift, just website hopping and happy to do some online shopping.

Some days I would be surfing for skin care tips, fashion, clothing, accessories, bags, you know the usual girl stuff. Today, I happen to be in the "bag" mode, So surf through quite a number of bags, and decided to share some of my top favourite picks.  ;-)

Then I came across this website. It was so cutesy and girly.. Che Che... The name rings a bell.. then I realise that they have their first flagship in Mandarin Gallery. They are all hand painted and the materials they use to paint on is known as the Glittering Canvas. Not only are the cute, each of the spring summer 2010 collection has very unqiue and interesting themes like "Make me beautiful" "Magic Moment.

In fact their bags look so whimiscal and so "Alice in Wonderland" kinda feel. Makes one dream.... SInce I do not know the name of each bag, I will name them alphabetically and come up with some wacky names myself hee. ;-)

The wind was sending howling noises whole night into our hotel room, trembling the windows at times. Shortly before, the sky broke sending downpours of gushing rain. They said that during winter in this part of the world, rain seldom occurs. Trusting trip advisors and the lonely planet, I decided against bringing any raincoats or boots. Sigh, I should have some faith in BBC weather, now I just hope the rain will stop for our sightseesing trip tomorrow morning. Nevertheless, this sudden downpour of rain inspired me to do this page about rain coat/trench coat and rain boots. I love classic items and especially for rain coat and trench coat, I would prefer to splurge on one with a timeless classic design, so it will last me longer. Below are images from burberry and aquascutum, my two favourite rain wear brands. If you like any of these items, send the Shopaholicdiaires team a mail! Our trusty spy told us that at Bicester village, Burberry and Aquascutum are currently on sale with items discounted by up to 70%. Indeed, my trusty black aquascutum raincoat cost me less than £100 when the man brought me along to Bicester village for spring break sales shopping earlier this year.

The best thing about living in a country like Singapore, where you get sunshine all year round, is that you can flaunt your pretty pedicured nails in a pair of comfortable, pretty sandals all year round. Having been residing in London for the past few years and surviving on Uggs (almost all year round), wearing pretty sandals is what I missed badly. As such, I constantly look forward to all the holidays, hoping that I can then wear these pretty sandals while sightseeing or something.

This year however, the man has chosen to holiday in the southern hemisphere and so, I am again stuck in wintery weathers and with my plimsolls and Uggs.

A few more days to the end of our holidays and I pray for good hot weather in London, so that I can finally grace my feet in sandals, and no more flipping through the closet every morning, for socks! So today, while the man is glued watching the Brazil/Netherland match, I have decided to hide out in the internet cafe, just to do some online shopping. Hahhaa...ladies, look what I found on Net-a-porter, outnet and asos.com!!!

Love each and every single pair of these! Now, I just have to figure out a way to coax the man to get me one of these as pressies...teehee!

1.   Its chic design is so unqiue!!! One of its own kind!! The hobo design has caught the eye of so many.

2.   It is so versatile, you can use it in any way that you want. To the office, for a quick shopping break, even to the supermarket.

3.   The delicate lambskin of course!! simply lovely, soft to the touch, like baby skin.

4.  Its quality craftsmanship, no doubt about it. Each and every piece is put through a stringent high quality control.

5.   It comes in beige!!!
Picture
6.    Its affordable Pricing, not too over priced, allow you to purchase it without neccesarily having to break the bank.

7.  Because the cite Reese Witherspoon has one and she looks so good with it on her hand!! :-) And many others as well! :-)
Picture
8.   It comes in so many delicious colour instead of the safe colours... AND the main point is it looks great even in pink or blue!!

9.  The gathered leather frontal design up the aesthetic notch of the bag by one level. ;-)

10.   Finally, It just feel so right to have it resting on one arm and shoulder.. well as least for us at shopaholicdiaries. ;-)
