My Michael Kors Bag Collection and Mini Review

I got some free time on hand today and would love to share my Michael Kors Handbag collection and a mini Review on each of them. Please note this is not a bragging blog and if this in any way offences you, please click out and I just want to share my experience with these bags with fellow Michael Kors bags lovers.  

Michael Michael Kors are one of my favorite handbag brands to purchase, they are moderate priced and have so many styles and colours coming out all the time. There are so many classic styles from Michael Kors and surely there will be one suits your style. 

From left: Michael Kors Mini Selma Messenger, Michael Kors Alexis Medium Satchel, Michael Koras Dillon Small Satchel, Michael Kors Riley Small Satchel and Michael Kors Medium Travel Tote the one in the front is Michael Kors Halmiton Large Messenger. 
  

The Michael Kors Messenger bag has to be one of the most iconic styles from Michael Kors. I loved this black and white pattern since I saw the picture on Michael Kors official instagram, it's so easily match up with any outfit and for this size, it fits an Iphone 6 plus, some loose makeup stuff, tissue, keys and to save space, there are 3 card pockets at the back of the bag which save your bring a separate wallet/card holder. The only issue i have with it is the opens on both sides, if I have loose lipsticks in the bag and they easily fall out from the open when the bag is tilted. 

Michael Kors Alexis Satchel, I love this mabel ish blue colour and the the leather oh, it's so soft. There are 3 compartments with zippers in the middle which is good for people like me to lose all sorts of things in the bag to sort stuff out and separate them easily. It comes with top handles and an adjustable strap, definitely good for carrying to work. 

Michael Kors Dillon Satchel, can we just sit here in silent in a moment for this beeeeaaauuutiful pale blue colour and the simple yet elegant shape. It's made of saffiano leather so it is stiff as the messenger. It's big enough to fit a full size wallet, my keys, iphone 6 plus and a small makeup bag. I love to carry this with the strap on my shoulder. It looks a little small to carry on the forearm but a little bit for a weekend crossbody bag.  

Michael Kors Riley Small Satchel, this is relatively new in the MK family, the leather OMG, is even softer than the Alexis. It also fits my daily stuff and the colour is so good to carry all year round. 

Michael Kors Travel Tote, this is my first MK bag. I carried to death, to the air plane, going on a trip, stuffed it up with bagful of heavy things.. It still holds in shape. People say its a cheaper option for LV neverfull. I also own a LV neverfull - please check my earlier post for comparison, and I can say yes, if you are not sure if you want to splurge so much on Neverfull, definitely give this babe a go, there are so many colours out there and 3 sizes I believe for you to pick. I had one big one before but sold it, I would definitely suggest a medium size if you are not carrying 10kg stuff around everyday, a medium size is more than enough. It fits my apple air laptop without an issue. 

Michael Kors Large Messenger, this has to be a least loved MK bag and I am currently selling it. I purchased it for the bright yellow colour and yes and colour is beautiful but there is no top handle and the bag needs to be carried crossbody. i am not a tall person, 163cm, when I carried it on my shoulder it looks big and sliding off. If you are a taller person and prefer carrying bags crossbody to free out your hands, yes, I would definitely suggest this bag, its spacious and there is a back pocket for you to store things like phones, tickets for easy access. 

I have also placed an order for a medium size MK messenger which is on it's way. I think I mixed it with the top handle satchel when I purchased it so after I get it, I might go back and get the top handle one as well. If you would like to see a comparison, please let me know. 

Hope this blog helps you with some of the MK bags and if you have any questions about these bags, please leave a comment and I will get back to you. 

Marc by Marc Jacobs bag First Impression

Updated What's in my bag

We came back from a trip from Vietnam and Hong Kong yesterday, a lot of unpacking ahead of me but I just cannot wait to share this cute new bag I purchased in Hong Kong with you. 

The brand is Samantha Thavasa, which is a Japanese handbag company has 7 brands under the main brand Samantha Thavasa. They recently invited Miranda Kerr to become their ambassador to promote their brand.  

http://www.samantha.co.jp/

Unfortunately we don't have their retail shops here in Australia so I am still searching a way to get it online with reasonable shipping costs. I will update you my finds later. 

The bag I purchased is from one of their brand Samantha and Choulette, every of their bags have it's own little medal tag states the brand, model number and name. This bag original price is HKD 870 and luckly I got it off 30% off sale. HKD to AUD exchange rate is around 1 AUD = 5HKD, so the price is quite reasonable and there are lot and lot of options and colours to choose from. I have also purchased one of their star charms costed at HKD200, which is so pretty and sparkly to add to the cute bag. 

The Shaun the Sheep was also purchased from HK, at HKD79 from Nici retail shop.

As usual, I have my red Oroton makeup pouch, my Fendi wallet and Keyholder, a pen, my Opal card holdere, Extra gum (purchased in HK, the honeysuckle flavor tastes so good), my earphone, tissue and YSL ID/card holder in my bag. 

The bag might look small but it certainly holds a lot of stuff. After put all these stuff in it, I can still fit my sunnies case or a foldup umbrella. 

Your comprehensive travel guide to Hanoi, Vietnam

We have been in Hanoi Vietnam Jan 2014 for 5 days and decided to stay a little longer again this year to discover a little more about this tourist hotspot. We are staying in Hanoi 10 days in Sep 2015, I am in fact writing this on our 6th day in Hanoi. 

Hanoi is capital city in Vietnam, while there are lots of tourist sites and cultural places to visit, you can also learn more about it through a more relaxed style by just walking down the streets, going to different local places and restaurants etc. 

If you are someone do a lot of research like us on Tripadviser before going out for food, drink, tourist sites, please keep on reading. 

Tourist Site:
- Hoan Kiem Lake - Located in the centre of Hanoi Old Quarter, it's one of the famous sites in Hanoi.The lake itself is not big, it will take you around 1 hour to walk around it.  There are some French Style Historical buildings around this lake. All the old style street market streets are also in the surrounding area. We stayed in Hoan Kiem District this time, 2 mins walking to the lake. I have to say you can find anything and everything you need around here, from street food, night markets (happens on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights), restaurants to fancier bars. 
- Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum - Vietnamese people surely know how to show their respect to their leader. This reminds me of Beijing Tiananmen Square but in a much smaller scale. The flags are everywhere and there are strict dress code to enter the building. 
- Hai Long Bay - It's about 160km away from Hanoi centre, the view is unique and beautiful. While the 3-4 hours driving might not be the best experience we had, in fact, it's quite scary for us, but this place is definitely worth seeing. We visited Hai Long bay last time we came (Jan 2014) the weather was perfect, we had a private junk boat and did a day tour with fresh seafood lunch included in the deal. By private junk boat, the boat can easily fit 20 people with some separate bed rooms and 2 levels of deck. The boat went around the bay and we had the most amazing views, we also stopped over few caves. If you ask me if we would return, I probably would say no but if you ask us if we regret of going, definitely NO and I recommend anyone who has not been to pay it a visit. Not sure if it worth a overnight staying in the junk, but day trip, big yes! 

Restaurant:

As for restaurants, I think i will list all we have been and the listed rating on Tripadviser to give you our opinions: 

- The Gourmet Corner - rate #7 on TA. 
   I still do not understand the hype of this place, there were lot of people when we went, we had to sit on the terence for good 30 mins to get our table. View was good, but there are lot of places in Hanoi have the similar type of view with out the pricetag of overated food. 
   We ordered steak and it was bad, chewy and lack of flavour, both of us left more than half of the food and left. Let me be fair, if the place is a cheap eat, I might not complain much, but when you are paying a certain amount of money on food, it needs to be good.  

- Purple Cherry rate #11 on TA
  This place is a jem, we had two dinners in a row at this place and still wanted to come back. Every single dish we tried turned out to be yummy and the waiters understand English perfectly with an outstanding skill of making cocktails. It is a roof top restaurant, come in a cooler season might be a better option since you can be fully relaxed and enjoy the Hanoi view. 
  It is on the top list of places to visit this time, but when we arrived at this place, the whole building was under renovation through Sep, we left so disappointed for missing out the foodfiest. 

- Cao Go Vietnamese restaurant rate # 36 on TA
  If you come to Hoan Kiem lake, you will not miss this building at the big intersection with multiple levels full of bars, cafes and restaurants. This one is on top level of the building, you can enjoy the beautiful lake view with some Vietnamese food. Price is not cheap, you are looking at 150K VND plus for a main dish, 120VND for a cocktail. The serve is quite small and you will need at least 3 dishes for 2 people. 

-  Maison Sen rated # 73 on TA
   I wonder why this is not top 10?! This buffet restaurant serves excellent Vietnamese and International food with lot lot of choices and plenty of seafood. We only paid 500K VND for 2 of us and we ordered 2 bottles of beer extra. During the meal, there are people coming around to serve your seafood - I am talking about fresh steamed crabs and prawns and some Brazillian BBQ style meat on the sticks, grilled pineapples. You will not run out of choices doesn't matter what you'd like to eat.   The only downside is - this is a family restaurant, there are so many screaming kids running around, and shouting. If you are looking for a romantic dining option, this might not be it.

Michael Kors Hamilton Large Messenger Review

The Michael Kors Hamilton Large Messenger came in the mail today I am super excited to share some of my thoughts with you. 

I ordered it in the yellow colour, its a perfect colour all year round. 

The bag is a cross body bag with adjustable strap. I have been holding bags on my arms for months, and cannot wait for a change to shift the weight on my shoulder for a change. 

Inside of the bag is very simple, after you open the flap, there is a key strap which I usually use for my wallet, I don't really like my keys to be handing around with other stuff in the bag, it will scratch my phone, wallet for sure. 

There is a slide pocket at back of the bag, which I can put my train tickets and tissue paper. 

The bag is in this perfect size, enough to hold my daily stuff but not too big so I don't have the urge to chuck everything in it. 

As all the other Michael Kors bag, it's in saffiano leather which is a very durable leather the only thing I don't like about it is a little stiff. 

I believe it will go with any outfit, to go with some formal office attire and bring in a little colour or a weekend casual outfit for some cute touch. 

Shopping at Zara

When I go to Zara, I always have an outfit idea in mind and this time, I wanted the something to go with army green overalls. 

This yellow long sleeves T is so good with the army green and the loose fitting is very relaxing, comfortable yet not losing shape. 

I like Zara sunglasses, some of their sunglasses shapes fit the Asian face shape really well. I tried on so many Aviators in different brands and this pair is by far the best one that fits me perfectly. 

Now I just can't wait for casual Friday so I can wear this outfit . 

Too faced Better than Sex Mascara Review/First Impression

All my old mascaras have dried out on me (and no I will never open more than one at the same time) so I was hunting for a good mascara to try. 

I don't like to splurge on mascaras as they will soon be drying out or need to be replaced every couple months due to hygiene reason. Considering Lancome and Estee Lauder have bumped up their mascara price to nearly AUD$50!! I had looked for something around AUD $30 mark. 

I have used other Too faced mascara in the past and had good experience so decided to give this a go. First of all, I am not sure about the name, I know they trying to be funny but... I don't know how you mean to compare makeup to sex?!!  

The packaging is very nice, heavy and solid tube with the traditional brush. I can see there are a lot of fiber on the brush when pulled out.  

However to be honest, it didn't reach my expectation. I have very short straight asian lashes and needed more lengthening and volume than what this has given me. 

After one coat, I can see some length and volume but not dramatic enough for my liking. Don't say no mascara could do the job to Asian lashes, I have tried some drugstore ones that do the amazing job. 

After two coats, I can go out of the door now! Definitely some volume there, but still not enough length. 

I will finish the mascara, but will not repurchase. There are definitely other options in the same price range or lower can do better jobs on my lashes. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate it, but it just doesn't do what it claims for my lashes. I am sure it works for some people, but unfortunately I am not one of them... 

Fun makeup videos for learning and getting better with makeup

I spend lots of time searching for new ways to improve my makeup skills and love watching videos online. There are some really good ones so Im keeping note below.

First for your eyes a Winged Eyeliner Tutorial that shows you how to quickly achieve a 'wing' on your eyes with a felt tip liner. Its quick and easy.

Second found a DIY 5 minute lip balm video that shows how you can make your own lip balm at home! Home made lip balm in your very own colours in under 5 minutes? With your own scent? Smells and looks good to me.

Third Im really into false eye lashes. I bought a few when I was in Japan last and I can't get enough. In the beginning its a struggle but getting to know how is easier with How to master applying false eyelashes video tutorial. Remember practice does make perfect!

Hope you enjoy these vids!

What I have used up this month (Empties in May)

I  think I must have started all these products around the same time or it's just coincidence I finished all of them in these few days. I am not good at sticking to a products I have been using, so when I have some empties, I am actually quite happy and feel it's an achievement. 

1. Garnier Miraculous Oil - this one can be purchased from all drugstore or even supermarket, the RRP would be around AUD $8-10. This is a leave in oil you use after wash on towel dry/damp hair. I wash my hair everyday (I know it's not good for my hair but I go gym daily so have to clean up my hair after all the sweat). I use this oil after I towel dry my hair after wash, my hair is about shoulder length and now it's shorter, 1-2 pumps would be enough. I only use it on the tip of the hair, usually it's where you should put your hair products on. The root of your hair doesn't usually require too much extra products, too much oil will actually clot the pores or make your hair oily. 

I don't particularly like this products, as i don't hate it but just don't see too much result after the whole bottle. It doesn't make my hair oily or anything but it's also not moisturising enough. I don't think I will repurchase this any time soon.

2. Loreal skin perfection serum - This is my HG products to use in the morning. It's my 2nd or 3rd bottle, I love this stuff. It makes my skin texture smooth and minimize the pores. I can see result after few days of use. And now I cannot live without it. I have just opened a new bottle. 

3. Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser - This is one big bottle that lasted me months! I was so happy when I couldn't pump up stuff any more. I use this products at night after makeup remover for a deep clean. I don't see significant change after use and don't feel deep cleansed.. Although it does take off the oil and all the leftover makeup. I don't think I will repurchase this again. 

4. Mor Argan Oil Hand Cream - I purchased mine from Myer while Mor is have 25% off on their product, it's around AUD $15. One mediocre handcream. The scent was ok, not the best I tried and my hands are very dry all the time and this definitely not rich enough. I sometimes have to reapply right after I applied some. I will not repurchase this one. 

5. John Frieda Volume Spray - this is my 2nd bottle. I think since my hair now is shorter and thinner, it works better on my hair and builds up volume. When I had first bottle my hair was long and thick, this could not build up any volume at all. After I got my long Bob cuts, I decided to give it a go again and this time it actually worked and gives me nice volume without making my hair greasy. So I do recommend this if your hair is not too thick. 

6. This pack of face sheet masks were purchased from Japan, there were 30 sheets in one pack, no individual packaging. I bought few of this type of packs, and this was not the best. The sheets don't contain enough serum and dries out after about 10mins you put it on. When I wear a sheet mask, I want to take my time and give enough time for my skin to relax not running to take it off as it seriously dried up on my face and absorbs water from my face instead! 

No Will Not Buy Again 

                      

Zara Haul/Fashion Haul for Winter

I went for a little shopping at Zara today for some new winter outfit and below are what I picked up. 

Little red dress. Simple and bold. The style is very simple, easy to pair with some black boots and chunky necklace and cross body bag for a weekend outfit or black heels and sheek handbag for an office attire. 
The dress is also very affordable, great purchase.

Straight ripped jeans. These are not the total boyfriend jeans with loose fitted everything, they are very fitted on the hips with slight loose fitting on the legs.

It will look great with some white Tee or Graphic Tee , fitted leather jacket, sheek and comfortable. 

Overall Dress. I am very into overall style this seaon, purchased few overall jeans and this awesome dress. It looks so cute on with some lose white Tee or strip Tee. The dress doesn't reach my knees (I'm 163cm and purchased this in Size S). 

2 graphic Tees. Don't you just like what it says on these Tee, I love the bold confident words on these very comfortable loose cropped Tees. I can see myself wear them with the some boyfriend jeans for a very comfortable outfit for a shopping day outfit or brunch with friends outfit. 

Salvatore Ferragamo Nolita Tote Review

After saving up for about 2 months, I finally paid off my Salvatore Ferragamo Nolita Tote and recived it in the mail today. 

I have to say this bag is AMAAAAZING! 

The size of the bag 
15"W x 11 ½"H x 6"D. (Interior capacity: large.)
7 ½" strap drop.

Material of the bag 
Calfskin leather. 

The leather of the bag is so soft yet durable, I can see myself carring it for a long time. 

The bag is actually smaller than I expected but I in fact LOVE the size. It's not too bulky, and not heavy in weight at all. It looks small but can hold a lot. I have everything I usually carry in a LV neverfull in it withou any problem. 

Inside of the bag, there is one zip pocket at the back, I usually have my ID holder in it, there are also 2 small pockets without zipper, I can put my iphone 6 plus in it and just fits. 

The handle isn't really long and I don't like how it is just under my armpit so I don't think I will carry it on my shoulder often. 

It is just an amazing bag for any occasion, the black colour makes it so simple, elegant and easy to style with any outfit. 

Estee Lauder Matte Perfecting Primer Review/First Impression

I received a $20 gift card from Myer last week so decided to purchase something usually don't go on discount. 

I was in need for a makeup primer for a while, after cleaned out my makeup collection, all the old products were thrown away and I really only had one primer on hand which came in a gift pack from Priceline. Although I had no complain about the freebie, it's not my own choice, so I went ahead getting a new primer. 

After reading all the good reviews of this Estee Lauder Matte perfecting primer, I decided to give it a go. The counter price here is AUD 48, although it's not cheap but with $20 gift card, I ended up paying $28 so not too bad. 

There are 2 types of Primer at Estee Lauder, the Matte perfecting and Illuminating Perfecting Primer. I personally like a bit of matte finish for my makeup so got the matte one. 

It's in this tube packaging like the maximum cover foundation. After using it for few days, I have to say so far I like it very much especially with my double wear maximum cover foundation. The finish is flawless, after few hours of wear, my face is still fresh and silky at touch. If you are wondering, I have combindation skin and usually my nose will start to get bit shiny and needs a little dab on the powder. But with this primer and foundation combo, it went so well for at least half day without any touchup. 
After about 6 hours of wear, I can see my nose tip gets a little shiny but nothing major. I just use tissue or blotting paper to dab it off. 

Usually I wear my makeup throughout the whole day, from 6.30 in the morning till 8.30 in the evening after gym. After all these hours and sweating, everything is holding up to place and I don't see anything running down my face or foundation moving around. 

I have to say this combo is money well spent and I don't think I will ever change to anything else for my base makeup. These will definitely be my makeup staple. 

If you are looking for a long lasting, flawless looking skin and decide to splurge on the base makeup, I highly recommend these products from Estee Lauder. 

Online Shopping Haul/Fashion Haul part 3

Everybody needs to watch Big Hero 6, best animation movie! And Baymax is just the cutest health companion. With him printed on the baby pink T shirt, I just cannot say no. I would pair it with white ripped jeans of even white overall. This baby pink goes very well with light colour pants or shorts in hot days.

WHO doesn't like nutella?! With milk? I haven't thought about it before seeing the T shirt. The cute simple white T with Nutella jar is perfect top for a movie nightout. There is not much to say how to pair white T shirt, it goes with everything. 

            

Now this jumper is everything, I love the sequin bulldog head on the side, it makes the simple black jumper superb. It will go perfectly with a pair of dark washed skinny jeans and cross body bag, warm, cute and sexy. 

        

Again, Baymax face on a white T! Enough said... 

       

I have no idea why my camera is doing weird things with these beautiful colour clothes. This long knit wear is in this cute baby pink, soft and cozy. I purchased it from boohoo.com. I will wear it with black tights and boots, some winter outfit is done! 

        

Minty green knit wear, warm and practical and cute. Knit wear like this will go well with leggings or skinny jeans. I might try to style with light washed ripped jeans for some more relaxed weekend outfit. 

       

Last 2 pieces are just simple and practical daily wear. They are so affordable and easy to style, I could totally wear with some mid length skirt and bright chunky necklace for a bright office attire. 

        

Thanks for reading, please stay tuned for more items..

Online Shopping Haul/Fashion Haul part 2

This is the second part of my shopping haul and the items I am sharing with you are 

Can anyone not scream how cute this T shirt is. I know it's just a simple grey T but the little dog with beanie is making it super cute. There is not much to say how to style a grey T, it goes perfectly well with a pair of skinny jeans. 

This knitted top is from boohoo.com. I don't think the lighting is doing it justice, it's in this beautiful royal blue and so soft and comfortable. It goes well with black ripped jeans of tuck in some skinny denim with a big chunky silver necklace. 

Who doesn't love unicorn, especially when it's on the loose fitted light grey T. It pairs well with white ripped jeans or black skinny denim to tuck in black combat boot, perfect Friday outfit. 

I know this has been a list of grey T shirts, but this little bull dog is oh so cute with the mash sleeve, this little T can easily be dressed up or dressed down. I can style it with a pair of white shorts or sequin skirt for a nightout or pair with dark skinny jeans for a casual day time outfit. 

This baby blue T shirt doesn't really show up its true colour in this lighting. This beautiful baby blue will be a perfect top for light washed skinny denim and white blazer. In the hotter days, I can definitely pair it with denim shorts and white cute sandles.  

This outfit has been played out in the picture, white zebra print T with black loose fitted overall. It's light, comfortable and stylish. Overall is having a huge comeback this season and this is just a good example on how a simple top can go so well with overall. Pair this with a pair of sneakers or platform shoes with a bright colour crossbody handbag.  

Thanks for you all for taking your timne reading.  Stay tuned and more items will come in the next few days. 

Online Shopping Haul/Fashion Haul part 1

 I have been planning to do a collective fashion haul for a while to show some of my recent purchases. Since the weather is getting cooler and I cannot wait for autumn and winter to really come so I can start to layer up some simple pieces to style cute outfits. The winter in Sydney Australia is definitely not the cold cold snowy winter, we have about 10C at night and 17C during the day as average for winter days, so T shirt, shirt are always wardrobe staples. They are so easy to layer, dress up and down and for any season. 

I will separate the haul into few parts otherwise this will have to super long and hard to read and follow. 

This cute sleeveless denim shirt is super soft and cute on, I am planning to wear it with some same tone denim jeans or overalls to get a denim on denim look, it will also go very well with some skinny white jeans or even distress white jeans. 

This is actually the back of the black shirt, the front is just a normal button down shirt so I thought why not take picture of what attracted me buying it - the back. The shirt is soft and loose fitted, the zipper on the back is definitely the highlight of the shirt. I can see me wearing it with some black tights and brown boots or denim shorts on some hotter days. The boyfriend style shirts are so in this season. Simple and stylish. 

            
These 2 polka dots shirts are the exactly same style in different colours. The are loose fitted with splits on each side. They are so easy to style, the polka dots makes the simple shirts super cute. I can definitely wear them with black tights, tuck in skinny jeans and some chunky necklace and a bright colour handbag to add some colour. 

            
         

This simple sleeveless white shirt is essential to anyone's wardrobe, it can go with denim shorts, denim jeans, or even wear on top of bikini top, the sheer material makes it perfect in lot of outfits. I am planning to wear it with white overall and some gold chunky necklace with yellow tone bag for a bright winter day outfit. 

        

This is super cute T shirt with sheep print doesn't really need much of an explanation. The material on the sheep is furry with some beats as pearl necklace makes the T standing out. As all the other white T shirt, this really goes with anything, easy to layer.

         

If you'd like to know where these items are from, please leave a comment, I would be more than happy to tell you where I purchased them from, they are super affordable. 

I don't usually get satisfied with online purchases as sometimes they don't come as they were described online and I really don't like to hassle of exchanging them. But this time I am quite happy with what I have got so far. 

Please check back in the next days, I have some more haul to come! 

Marc by Marc Jacobs Metropolitote Jerrie Rose Tote Review/FirstImpression

Today I received my first Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Metropolitote Jerrie Rose tote. 

This bag is so gorgeous, I love the shape of the tote and the flower print and this colour combination is just superb, the bright yellow makes me happy. 

I have also placed an order for the other colour (I know...), the pink with green combination.  

Here is some fact about this baby: 

Measurements:

H 27cm, L 37cm, D 16cm and handle drop is 21cm so it should sit comfortably on your shoulder even if you are wearing some thicker jacket. 

Material : 

Some website is being very tricky on describe the exterior of the bag, the exterior of the bag is 100% PVC with cow leather trim. 

Some sites describe it as canvas, faux leather ... all different ways to make it sound better. It is in fact PVC and to be honest, the bag is so soft and I see nothing wrong for it to be called for what it is, PVC. 

The bag has flower print in the front with a teeny tiny pocket which can be used for maybe your travel card, I am not planning to use it for anything, there is an authenticity card in it and I will just leave it in there. 

The back of the bag is strips with the same colour combination, which I adore. It's so much fun with a tote bag have 2 different prints on the front and bag. 

I put it next to my LV Neverfull, it is the same size and just as soft if not softer. There is a little detachable zip around pouch come in the bag in this blue colour, it is so convinience to just have your important stuff in it as there is no other pocket in the bag. 

Compare to my Michael Kors Jet large travel tote, this Marc by Marc Jacobs bag is so much soft and lighter in weight, the only downside of the bag is there is this plastic smell. I am now hoping it will go away after few days of use. 

I cannot wait to carry it tomorrow to brighten up my Friday. 

Here is a look of what's in my bag, I didn't change much from my last what's in my bag blog. Only difference I think it's my wallet, I changed to a Fendi wallet and the book, I am now on the 5th Jack Reacher book Echo Burning.. It's just as good as every other one i have read. The blue Mimco pouch has my pen and a notebook and the tin is for pads..(not much to say about that) 

You can purchase this bag from David Jones if you'd like to see it in store but the retail price there is so much more expensive than online shops. If you are not in a rush, go through some online shops and you will find heaps competitive price for this bag and on some sites, the yellow colour is cheaper than the pink colour. 

I purchased mine from Revolve.com, I believe it's an American online store,the shipping time is about 10 days from the order was despatched. 

Thanks for taking your time reading. Please come and check my instagram tomorrow if you'd like to see how I carry it to match my outfit.
