My Birthday Pressies!!

The definite truth - I busted my budget!!

Talking about plunging in and splurging... well, I did it and I know part of me is regretting while the rest of me believes I've made good purchases. I am reminded again inside my heart that spending huge amount of money (to me, that's huge amount of $$) does not give me instant happiness. In fact, it didn't give me any happiness when I bought the 2 expensive items. I was feeling more numb than anything. And still minimal happiness even till now.

1) Diamond Tennis Bracelet

This bracelet is objectively a good buy. I've spent months hunting for the right bracelet and this one fits my requirements and budget perfectly. The small diamonds sparkle like crazy and every one of them is nicely cut. This bracelet has a total of 4.32ct diamonds (total 47 of them).

2) Miu Miu Matelasse Amarena Wallet

This is under one of the wishlist. Finally found the perfect one after some effort. DH has been very understanding and supportive. This is something good that turned out from the whole episode.

3) Thermal Mug

This is my happiest purchase. It costs SGD39/-. I used SGD30 Takashimaya vouchers and only paid $9/- for it! ^_^ My office mug is really old and dirty so I thought to get a new one and this new babe can help keep my tea warm all the time.

That's all the unreveals I have. I'd be on ban till Oct when I go for my long awaited Korea trip. I know I am all sufficient in terms of material wants and I am really contented.

Birthday wishlist (to myself)

I have only limited funds to spare for myself this upcoming birthday. Frankly, there is nothing special about birthdays, it is just my excuse to get something for myself. **evil sheepish look** To prevent myself from making impulsive purchases, I am forcing myself to list down the things I want and select only one or two from this list. ^_^

1) Miu Miu Wallet

I have been a fan of Miu Miu for more than a year but strangely I haven't spend a single cent on this brand. I love the coffer, the bow and the Matelasse but I just cannot justify spending $2000 on a bag to bring to work.... (oh work, that can take up another page on ranting!)... Definitely it is not worth to spend so much on a work bag, with such a situation I am in now. Hence the next best thing is to get a wallet. =)

Todate I have a total of 4 wallets - 3 LVs and 1 sweetie from Korea. This potential new member of the wallet family is a Miu Miu Matelasse clasp style wallet. It comes in 2 colours - black and red. There appears no available photo on the internet. I believe it is priced at around S$900 - $1000.

Other pretty Miu Miu wallets that can be found include the following **drool** (pictures from Rakuten Japan)



2) Balenciaga Wallet

This picture is taken from bagaholicboy's blog. I love the combination of bubblegum pink leather with gold hardware. Balenciaga's gold hardware wallets and bags are rare gems in Singapore. If you own one, you are one lucky girl/ guy. Though it is on my wishlist, I doubt I would be able to lay my hands on any of them.

3) Laptop

This item was newly added (just this morning)... It has come to a point that I believe working at the pantry is more peaceful than working in my cubicle. In order to work efficiently there, I need a laptop. So how about a lightweight small 11-12 inch laptop? If I am mad enough, ready to declare war in office, perhaps I can get one. Oh well, I'm in a rebellious mood today...

4) Pearls pearls pearls

Beautiful pearl bracelets and necklaces... who would resist them? The tahitan ones are my favourite because of their lovely overtones. By the way, they cost a bomb! I would most probably get a pendant if I go for a tahitan. The freshwater pearls are equally attractive too. ^_^ Once again, where is the money tree? [edited. Photos removed]
