I want! I want!

One of the items in my wish list is to get a new pair of sunglasses. The one I currently use for driving is 4 years old. There are visible scratches on the lens and the plastic frame is bent abnormally.

------------------

I remember buying that pair in Rustan's. It was on sale. It was worth a little over P3000. I have never spent that much on a pair of sunglasses so I was a bit undecided. But, it was the only pair that looked good on me. It was extremely difficult to get a pair that would fit my face. After much thought, I bought it. The following weekend, I showed up in Tagaytay sporting my new sunnies. I didn't know that my SIL also bought herself a pair. We were wearing the same brand of sunnnies and the same brand (and style) of shirt. The only difference was the color and probably, the shirt size.

------------------

Anyway, I think it's about time I get a new pair. I've been searching for something I really like. It was on my to-buy list in HK, but I didn't have time to look for one. This time, I want a pair that is durable, preferably with metal frame. I think I am tired of the Jacky O style. I want something different.

This afternoon, I decided to drop by Oakley in TriNoMa. I tried on several glasses. Several frames fit my face but this one tugged my heart.

It is a smaller version of Rayban's aviator glasses. The frame is in Berry, a metallic shade of purple. Apparently, the Crosshair S model is tailored to fit Asians. It is so gorgeous. Sadly, it is 9K. I searched online, it costs $145. It is still expesive. Huhuhu.

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.  

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
