Can't Wait

Vic and I are itching to go back to our own home. We need our own space, to say the least. I am excited to go back that I've already figured out how to dress up the place.

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...
