Fire Sale

I was able to go after all. Apparently, there was no need to feel sorry for myself for missing the sale. Hehe.

I went on the third day. Most of the racks and stands were already empty. It was obvious that the remaining items were "napagpilian" already. A lot of people swarmed all over the Lacoste boutique. Even if they were on sale, they're still quite expensive.

Generally speaking, most of the fire sale items I saw were 30% off the retail price. There were very few at 70% off the regular price. Maybe that's why the lines aren't that long anymore. There were lots of people though the crowd was manageable.

I was hoping to get Bettina's baptismal garb but it wasn't on the racks. I was also hoping that the perfume I've been eyeing since March is on sale. Unfortunately, it is not.

I didn't get a bag, though Vic said I could get one as his Mother's Day present (plus birthday, Valentine's and giving birth to Bettina). There was nothing that called out to me. But, I was able to score a pair of Tod's that's discounted by 65%. Yippee!

I also found some necessities like Belly Socks which converts an ordinary to into a nursing top and a pair Nuby gel pads. I'm glad that I waited for the perfect time to get those. I saved nearly 1500 for those two. Of course, I got something for the kids and for the husband. But, their not as excited as I am over my purchases.

After 2 hours and 4 floors, it's time to head home. I went home content. Yep, a bit broke but content.

  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...
