Louis Vuitton Montsouris Backpack in MM

Louis Vuitton Montsouris MM 

Hi everyone! I've added a louis vuitton piece to my bag collection. This is a vintage montsouris MM backpack. I managed to cop it at a reasonable price from a carousell seller. As this piece is a vintage bag, you can only purchase it from the preloved websites which I will list it down later. I've been bidding on Ebay from these Japanese sellers, but the bid always ended up being really high like USD700+ not inclusive of shipping. You might wonder if your LV bag is authentic if you were to purchase from Ebay? Fret not, most of the Ebay Japanese sellers do own a preloved luxury store in Japan. It's also a crime if they were to sell imitation goods. Most importantly, dont forget to check out the seller ratings and reviews before buying from them!

The monogram print on the back is much more brighter as compared to the front based on the first picture. I guess its due to the sun exposure and the age of this bag? The patina leather is quite even. It has a clean interior and not so visible water marks on the bottom of the bag. Thus, this is a good buy! :D 

There are 3 different sizes of this bag. It comes in PM, MM and GM. It's easy to differentiate between these 3 bags. PM size would come with additional leather handle at the back. MM size would have the golden ring handle. The straps of the GM size would be fabric whereas the MM and PM size are vachetta straps.  

This bag is made in france on February, 2000. The last production of this bag is 2007.

It can store my long wallet and umbrella. It's quite spacious too!

Many users said that they cant store anything in the front pocket as it is too small. But I managed to fit a small packet of wet tissue, hand sanitiser and a lipstick. 

The size of the MM Montsouris

Length: 26cm

Width: 12cm

Height: 28cm

It cant fit an A4 size. But it can fit my daily necessities that I carry everyday.

April favourites 2020

Hello yall! Today I'm going to share my favourites for the month of April. Is anyone the same as me? When you work from home, but you ended up shopping online due to the great deals? Without further ado, drum roll to my number 1 favourite which is...

Givenchy Antigona (small, calfskin leather) 

Retail for €1650 - From Portugal

I managed to cop this bag from Farfetch. I have been eyeing this bag for ages! The small antigona cost SGD2990 at Marina Bay Sands Shoppes. The MBS sales assistant told me that the designer for Givenchy has changed so the iconic antigona model would no longer be available once they clear the stocks. 

Note: Do try it in store if you are not sure if you want to purchase the small or medium size. 

This bag was shipped from a boutique in Portugal. The boutique is called Fashionclinic which sell many luxurious brands. Guess what? I copped it at a 40% discount! I paid SGD1814 including shipping. My boyfriend knew how much I love it because he always complained that I walked into Givenchy Store just to try on the bag without purchasing it. Finally this baby is in my hands! 

The reason why I opted for the calfskin leather because I love how glossy it looks. Though it is scratch proof, it wont lose it's shape as the time pass. Personally, I feel that this bag match with different styles. For example, edgy/cool/classy/basic. Whereas the goatskin leather look more of a casual everyday style. The pro of the goatskin leather is that it's scratch resistant. So for those who don't want to baby their bag, opt for the goatskin! For discount wise, calfskin leather rarely go on sale. So I thought this is a good opportunity to cop the bag!

Medium rose gold Luggage from Ximending, Taiwan.

I bought a rosegold luggage from a luggage store at Ximending, Taiwan. Because the wheels of my Delsey luggage decided to spoil on the first day of my Taiwan adventure. ): Hopefully I get a chance to use this luggage more often!

Tory Burch Ella Canvas Tote Review

Tory Burch Ella Canvas Tote 

From top view

Items I carry daily.

This bag was gifted from my boyfriend for valentine's day. I've been using this bag for work as it is spacious and sturdy. As you can see from the above picture, I do bring tons of stuff which cause my bag to be heavy. Oh well, these are my essentials for work..

The Ella tote has been around for years and Tory Burch produced different patterns and materials of the bag. The most iconic piece would be the nylon material. It comes in 2 sizes, mini and large. I opted for the canvas bag as it looks unique and I have yet to see anyone carry it in SG. The leather handles of the bag sits well on my shoulder without falling off. The size of my bag is H:32cm, W: 44cm, D: 11cm. It has 3 big pockets, one on the outside and two on the inside. It definitely fits A4 size document. I would skip the details of what I carry inside my bag as it is always the same old things.

Whats in my Prada bag? (X'mas edition 2019)

Prada Nylon Bucket Bag 

Hello all, today I'm sharing with you what's in my Prada bag and how I turned this Prada cosmetic bag into a bucket bag. I was watching Youtube and chanced upon this korean video whereby a lady did a reform of this Prada cosmetic bag. I fell in love with it and I decided to make one on my own. So I purchased the cosmetic bag from one of the seller from Reebonz Closet. Jaryl found the round carabiner for me on Carousell. I bought the strap from Shopee. You can make do with or without a bag organizer. But I bought it as I want the bag to maintain it's shape. It's really difficult to find a bag organizer for this Prada bag model. But I managed to find one from a Korean Etsy seller. Viola ~ Now you can make your own Prada bucket bag! Links will be provided at the bottom.

5KM Standard Chartered Marathon 2019

My medal for participation. 

Before the race.

After the race, we did it! 

So my endoscopy girls asked me to join the standard chartered marathon race on the 1st of December. Thankfully, its only 5KM. If it is the 10KM, I would have died as I did not trained much for it. Had only few hrs of sleep the night before, it was a terrible mistake of mine. But I've managed to pull through for this race! I'm so proud of ourselves. Dumb me forget to stretch my legs and I experienced bad ache for 3 days on my groin area. I still went window shopping at IMM with Jaryl after my race and I regret like hell.. But its all good now.

August & September favourites

Vintage LV pochette accessoires - Bday gift to myself
Sovil Titus watch - Bday gift from Tina and Aisha 

Tatcha moisturizer - SGD 98
Olaplex no 6 bond smoother - SGD 44
Tangle teezer hello kitty - SGD 35
Tarte amazonian clay powder (light) - SGD 53 

H&M sling bag - SGD 19.95

August was my birthday month and I made so many purchases. I've been eyeing for the LV pochette for quite some time. I've went to the LV store at Takashimaya and Ion with Claire but the LV sales associates said that they have stop bringing in this model. I was so disappointed but I found it off carousell and I immediately copped it at a good deal. As this bag is a vintage piece, the bag strap is attached to the zipper instead of the D-ring at the side of the bag. But nevertheless, I still love this piece. I have gotten a simple black bag from H&M for everyday use.

Few weeks back, Sephora was having a 20% sales for black and gold card members. I was roaming around Ion at that point of time and decided to get a new face moisturizer for myself but ended up getting much more than I needed. I love the Tatcha face moisturizer. Its watery but not oily on my skin. For the price point, it's bloody expensive. The olaplex bond smoother coupled it up with the cutesy hello kitty tangle teezer makes my hair soft and tame. I gotten myself a new face powder from Tarte because the milani matte face powder makes my face oily. I'm not sure if its because of the base products I used on my face or the Milani face powder is not suitable for my skin?

Thats all of my fave products of August and September! Till then..
