A little bit of this, a little bit of that – and a whole load of nothing.

I am really not a neat person, am I. Detailed write-up of each item can be found on my Flickr.

I really do like this bag, but it has not stood up to my abuse and is dying. Alas.

There’re plenty of “what’s in your bag” posts around.

The Flickr group for “what’s in your bag” has a massive following.

So today, you get to see what’s in mine.

Whats in my bag

No surprises that most of the items inside are black as well.

  • iPhone 3G ( the best phone ever)
  • Rose Salve lip balm
  • Louis Vuitton wallet
  • Moleskine notebook (which I added a pen holder on. Lots of stuff goes in here.)
  • Panasonic Lumix LX-2 (but most of the time I use another camera)
  • Totes Umbrella (because the weather is unpredictable here.)

All contained in my trusty M)phosis bag.

So what’s in -your- bag?

From top left to right: Esperenza open toed boots, Esperenza cream wedges, Aldo wedges, Heels from DSW( I can't remember the brand), Rosessence wedges.

This is not even half of the shoes I own. My mum declares to outbirk at me if I bring another pair of shoes home. Of course, what she doesn’t know, won’t hurt her.

As you can see, I have an unspeakable lust for wedges, that’s cause I can’t seem to balance myself in heels. The only pair of heels you can see here have been given to Dawn yesterday even before I’ve worn them.

I also tend to buy similar shoes, which is at the moment, strappy chunky wedges.

I need to move on.

PS: Esperenza and Rosessence (or R&E) are awesome shoe stores in Japan.

For the longest time, I’ve lusted after the Jersey Tank Dress with scarf from Pleasure Principle after I’ve seen it on Camille of childhoodflames.

Unfortunately, I don’t have US$235 to spare and I must add that it’s already sold out everywhere.

I love the versatility of having a piece of garment that can be worn in infinite ways so it makes it seem like you’ve got 147367 dresses instead of just one.

After studying her pictures, I have deduced the structure of the dress and et voila~!  I think I managed to replicate one that is of decent quality. Sure, it’s not the same thing, but I am extremely pleased with the results nonetheless. I wish I had made it longer though.

I’m sure you’re not interested in all that. Onward to the photos~!

I wish I could be  [t h i s]  diligent when I was in school. But then again, I’m happy with what I have. I’ll leave the mugging to Dawn.

Today’s outfit is kinda formal looking.
