change of heart

Change of heart ... again. This time with my recently purchased Goyard GM St. Louis black bag. I am selling it at a very, very reasonable price. Don't get me wrong, I love this bag to bits! It's practical, functional, sturdy and convenient to use. But since I have my Goyard St. Louis PM (small) in yellow, think I am willing to let go of my GM size ... to upgrade to another Goyard model -Fidji Hobo. My friend will be going to Paris next month, and I am asking her to get me Fidji hobo either with the same color (black) I have now, or the limited edition pink or the heavenly white.

But, before I grab another bag ... need to dispose my GM first. Otherwise, I don't have money to buy the fidji bag. Hahaha! I am soooo poor for the next two months, and April was my over-the-budget bag shopping month. Really, over the budget!! Blame it with the low Euro and USD rates. And my poor EQ to wait! Good thing the husband gave me an early pressy (cash), to pay my new baby from Paris. It's his birthday promise, you see. :) I am sure the husband will kill me if I get another new bag by June ,as I told him the C bag will be my last. Hehehe!

But sadly, after exchanging emails with Goyard Paris, I found out the Fidji bag's production stopped. It will be re-designed and will be available by end of the year. Check out the email below.

Dear Ms. Soriano,

Thank you for your message, and for your trust in Goyard. We are as always happy to be able to assist you !

Our Fidji hobo bags are going to be re-designed by the end of this year (they will especially feature a large portion of leather on their top parts, as well as an adjustable strap) ; so we are now selling the only colors we have left in stock, i.e. our light blue and orange tones. The re-designed Fidji hobo bag should be available by the very end of the year, around November or December.

We hope this will answer to your request, and remain at your disposal for any further help we may provide you.


Yours sincerely,
Florent Zanuto

G bag again ...

Yes, got another Goyard again. It's the same model, size and color I originally wanted. St. Louis in PM size. Had a change of heart when I received my first Goyard bag I got last February 2010, it was PM size. I find it too small for my frame. I immediately sold my yellow PM bag, and got a black/tan combination GM size instead. I heart my GM size. Perfect for my travel. In fact, it was my perfect companion during my recent Tokyo travel. But ... I still want my yellow bag! Hahaha! Thus, for my next order, yellow it is ... back to PM size for my everyday jeans use. And finally...it's here! Love it! Thanks to my friend Kelly for making it possible.

color dilemma

And what color this time? Yes, I am torn again what color to get for my upcoming Goyard bag order. In fact, I am in dilemma. Since my Goyard bag suppliers (yes, suppliers) told me that the bags will be arriving by early next month, I need to decide what color, size and style to get.

I've already settled the bag style decision, which is another St. Louis (because of it's functionality and practicality). And for the size, definitely PM this time (since I already own a GM-size) and now for the color ... well, they all look lovely and fab!! I am torn getting yellow (my fave), a white (which I think really hot, hot, hot for summer!) and pink (the new "in" color). Believe me,these colors really gorgeous IRL. As much as I want to get all, of course I can't afford it. Thus I have to settle with just one. I am leaning to get YELLOW but ... well, let's see. I've got couple of weeks to decide anyway.

And to divert my attention with my bag color dillema, think I need to pursue my search on acne light treatment. My sister heard about this new scientific blue light treatment for acne that is safe, painless and heals fast, and she's crazy about it. She's detemined to pursue the treatment asap and I wonder if this is available locally. What do you think?

my first G.

... was a Goyard St. Louis in PM size.

As I previously blogged, this is my third bag for the month of February. It was mine for seven days, until I've decided to sell it and get myself a bigger size. Well, don't get me wrong ... the PM size is A-Ok. That is, if you are petite. But, since I am on the heavy-weight side, I find the PM size too small for my body frame. Hence, I've decided to upgrade to GM size.

Sadly, my other Goyard supplier don't have any GM size available in yellow, but was able to get the next best thing color... black/tan combination. Love it to bits! So krissy. Hahaha!

And for my next Goyard project ... one more St. Louis. Still in GM size. But this time, I vow to get my fave color ... yellow. Well, that would be few months from now then. *wish,wish*

I like ...

I am supposed to be on a purse ban since we will be doing a lot of travelling this year. But, when I saw this eye-candy ... I like! I like! So love the size. Perfect shopping tote. Fresh and eye-catchy color plus it comes with a wallet! It was offered to me by one of my bag suppliers at $800 a year ago, and I didn't bother to grab the chance for fear of non-durability of course. Functional .. yes, but made of flimsy material which is why I had second thoughts of owning one. But then, lately ... I was convinced it is indeed a durable bag (just like my Neverfull MM). Now I so like ...and the ultimate question ... which color this time? Red or Yellow? LOL.
