My mom got me a bag (what else lol) for my 24th birthday early last month. Well actually it was the end of July so technically it's a pre-birthday gift since i wasn't around during my actual birthday hehe..
To avoid disappointment (and long faces) I got to choose which bag i wanted so we headed over to the YSL boutique in Pavilion. I was torn between the bag i got which was grey and the same bag but in black or chocolate brown - the SA convinced me to get the former because it was a seasonal colour and only available for Fall/Winter '09 whereas the black and brown were permanent colours reproduced every season. He said, "You can come back for the black next month!" I like his way of thinking! ;)
Bla bla bla enough chatter, on to the pictures!

Anyways i was browsing through the September issue of Harper's Bazaar Malaysia when i stumbled upon what looked like my black patent reissue in the "You've Got to Have It..." section and I thought, no way would Harper's Bazaar be a year behind, right? Right! After careful reading (and a measuring tape handy) i realized that this was the brand new and highly coveted Chanel XXL which measures a whopping 39cm x 48cm x 10cm !! No seriously, you need to take out your measuring tape and measure for yourself because this baby is heeeuge!
But if you're like me and you're too lazy to rummage for a tape, a picture is worth a thousand words :D
( XXXXXXXXXL )
I'll be going on a short hiatus due to upcoming exams my loves - please wish me luck, I'm going to need it! ;) There will be no new posts for a few weeks, but i will buzz again as soon as i finish, hopefully with lots of new stuff to post up. Thanks for reading!

I got this from my salon today - Redken Vivagen Treatment; enrichment for thinning hair. Each 150ml bottle is worth RM75.
I have a very serious problem with hair fall so i had to do something before i go bald for good! Will use this product regularly for a month then review it for you guys, so watch this space (and see if it fills with hair).

P/s i got a new hit counter! Not using maploco anymore, switched to flagcounter which i much prefer since i can count hits as well! But i'm starting from zero again, oh well :P
Nevermind girls! Thanks for your input but the auction ended and someone else won the bag :(:(:( Just so you know i went with the double saddle gaucho hehe..
( PICK ONE! )
Miss Blair at the MTV Movie Awards 2009 red carpet in a super hot body hugging Emilio De La Morena cut-out dress, the new Brian Atwood “Brie” purple suede booties and Cathy Waterman jewels. I am still getting tingles over the GG season finale - best ending ever!!!
Was browsing through Tongue in Chic when i found this and I want it! It has a tail! And ears!!! AND FRIGGIN HIND LEGS TOO homaigoshhhh if this is you, you friggin' rock my socks mate! <333
Fucking ace collection! This is definitely my favourite kind of style - very casual chic, effortless looks with rough edges! Everything is so well accessorized and balanced, i wish i could dress like this every single day i kid you not, if only i were skinny like these models! Here are my picks - although all of them would have been fine by me! Loves it x10 million!!

Okay maybe i won't go so far as making these wedding rings, but costume jewellery is just so much fun, especially when they cost a kidney! These are some of my picks from Barneys xx

It's actually the Jumbo vintage flap in black lambskin, and according to my mom she got it circa the early '90s which is so exciting because i was only around 5 or 6 years old at the time and to be using something that has been passed down from one generation to another is just so nostalgic. Maybe if i don't batter the bag too much i can hand it down to my daughter in the future, awww :):)
The main difference between them and the newer bags are that the vintage bags are much sturdier. They don't have any slouch at all and it can easily stand on its own. The straps are definitely longer, even on me and i'm already so tall! The double C's are also bigger and flattened, if that makes any sense? You can see in the pictures what i'm talking about lol. There's also a small engraving at the corner of the double C's.
Anyways enough blabber on to visuals! I've also included the pictures that i found on TPF - user calisnoopy has a really cool collection - she has F I V E vintage flaps can you imagine! I'm super envious. The white is from user expat and hers is so unique!
( VINTAGE LOVE )
I got these pics from the Chanel forums on Purseblog, hope you enjoy them! There are some pieces which are just gorgeous and some pieces that made me go meh, but this collection is definitely a collectors dream! It would best suit someone who wants pieces that would stand out, unfortunately i don't think i'll be able to afford any of these lol. But still drool-worthy though, the collection is just so exhilarating!!
xoxo, your Matriochka ;)

Finally done with exams! For now, at least. I have tonnes of thing to update on, but this one is the most exciting!
Earlier this month my mom got a special invitation from Louis Vuitton - an SA from the Star Hill boutique came personally as a messenger to the house bearing a bouquet of white Calla lillies and an envelope, it was all so fancy!

I want to share with you some news that i've been hearing for the past few weeks - the new modus operandi for Mat Rempits to terrorize the people of Malaysia is by robbing them in broad daylight! The term daylight roberry has reached a whole new realm now. They have evolved from just being snatchthiefs for poor old ladies walking by the road side (I'm sure you've read about the pregnant lady who actually died three days into her coma, may god rest her soul) to actually breaching the comfort and safety of our own cars! This incident has happened twice to people i know, so there's no myths or old folks tales here.
They usually attack you at traffic lights with long stops. Two of them will be on the motorcycle and the pilion rider will smash your passenger side window in and grab your handbag that was kept on the passenger seat, where most people usually do keep their bags when driving alone, and speed off. There is no time to react, even though most of us keep some form self defense in the car (gear lock, baseball bat, etc), because they are so efficient and probably have done it to hundreds of other unsuspecting victims. In both incidences, nobody came to help even though there were so many other cars that were also stopped at the red light; that was pretty sad to hear that we have run out of good samaritans in our country, but on their behalf we can't really blame them for not wanting to immediately engage in a life threatening situation for a total stranger.
My advice is, lock your doors immediately after entering the car - never wait for autolock. I do this habitually and sometimes i accidentally lock the other people with me out of the car hehe. Always keep your handbag on your lap or under your legs so that it is not publicly visible. If it's too much of a hassle and you have to keep it away (i understand because i carry huge bags and they won't fit there) try to put a jacket or a cardigan over the bag so it won't stand out to the unwanted eye. Never, ever, keep your bag in the back seat as that's the easiest target for these two-wheeled mayhems. My friend tried to grab her bag back and it only resulted in getting herself hurt so i wouldn't suggest that, even though the contents (and the purse itself!) may be important to you. Your own safety is the main priority!
The thought of some random guy rummaging through the contents of my bag and then chucking it away at the end of it just horrors me, so i had to share this story with all of you. Hope it helped open some eyes. Be safe always, and have a good weekend everyone! Cheers
