After stuffing ourselves with too much food last nite... We're now ready to brave the craziness of Black Friday..Well!not really since most of my shopping will be done online. Actually, I already started since last nite when I scored a new pair of boots from Nine West. I got so excited when I saw this onsale because just last week it was $100 in their store and now its more than half of it's original price, talk about a slick deal=)

Now on to the other deals that I received from my email

It happened last month before we left for Hawaii. I wasn't planning to buy any bags because I know I'll do my "damage" in our trip but as I kept lurking on the purse forum. I couldn't help but fell in luv with the Mirage speedy. As I kept looking at the pics the more I liked it. It was 1 of my holy grail(s). So I scratched the itch and called the 1866LV. I knew it was a long shot since it's an LE of 2007 but no harm in trying dba? So, when I spoke to one of the SA they were able to locate 1 for me in Dallas unfortunately it was on hold for 3 days for a client then im next on the list. Shempre, I waited and after 3 days called them up and asked if it's still available and it was. I was ECSTATIC I couldn't believe I can still buy a brand new Mirage, all along I was thinking my best bet was from a reseller. So, I did the transaction thru the phone, I asked the condition and all and brand new naman daw accdg to the SA. I even asked if it's the store model coz it's the last piece in the whole collection. So, I patiently waited for the shipment when this arrived in our house...

an abused very scuffed bag. I immediately called the 1866LV and the SA in Dallas. All they told me was to bring it in the closest LV botique to assessed it. Next day I drove to South Coast Plaza and showed them the bag. They were shocked they said there's no way they'll sell that bag in that condition. When I spoke to the manager he said he need to contact the SA(off that day)1st before I can return it to verify it was the bag.HELLER!!!!now they're thinking that I switched the bag??!!I was furious there's no way I dropped that much money for a damaged bag..

I waited next day to contact the SA and he admitted that he didn't really checked the bag before shipment and that he's honoring my return daw and contacted the manager from SCP, from there they shipped the bag back to Dallas and refunded my money. I didn't even say anything to the SA as long as he refunded my money.Although, he was apologetic about it.
So, there Mirage(less) pa rin and still hoping to find 1 but in good condition.

*Here's the gorgeous Mirage Speedy*

can I stop myself from shopping??? When all these stores keep sending me all these coupons..hehe..Giving me reasons to keep spending some moolah..






*Macys is giving me $10 off if I spend $30 and above, as well as 20% off of everything
*Coach sent me the PCE (Preferred Customer Event) card which gives me 25% off
*Victoria Secret is giving free undie and $10 off of their new biofit bra line
* My American Express card sent me a $10 off in CheeseCake Factory

I got this bag a month ago. Mae my friend's SIL was kind enough to buy it for me in Ala Moana Mall in Oahu, HI.




It's better to buy LV in Hawaii because it's atleast $50 cheaper and tax is only 4.25%(almost half of CA tax)



I got the MM size because GM was way too big.. I'd been lugging this bag for a month now and luv it..Very nice everyday bag, very low maintenance and no vachetta to worry about plus the fact it's not screaming LV..hehe

I was flipping thru my O magazine when I saw this handy little accessory for my point and shoot camera. It's called quikpod. It's basically and extension of your hand when taking a picture. Instead of harassing other people or choosing which one of you will take the pic. Just use this and no hassle. This is very handy for me and Mike because we always have to choose who takes the pic(most of the time him=). I already ordered it from amazon and hopefully I'll get it before our July 4th getaway.

It's memorial week sale so my friends and I headed to South Coast plaza and treated ourselves with some shopping therapy. So, these are my latest loot.



-Coach sunnies. I got it from nordstrom Rack at a fraction of the cost
-Tory Burch "Reva" flats. I luv this. The leather is so soft very comfortable. I got $50 off from the original price. I thought this flats never go on sale but they did so I grabbed it as fast as I could,hehe
- Michael Kors vanilla wallet. Like the color and the simplicity. I didn't get this onsale though=(

My friends on the other hand splurged on mac cosmetics and aldo shoes. When we left SCP it was already evening. We we're so tired but very happy.hehe

Happy Memorial Weekend everyone=)

I planned to buy this



but end up getting this




and this (Juicy Couture Embossed Velour Audrey Satchel)





ayayay!hehe

It was raining hard and yet it didn't stopped us from going to SkiDazzle. I was looking forward to buy some clothes for our trip to the mountain but I couldn't resist buying my own ski boots.aaaaahh!!totally unplanned. but when I saw the ski boots and how well it fitted me.I gave in.It's so out of my budget but heck! I hate renting ski boots anyways so, I went for it. Even Mike end up buying snow boots.hehe. Then we went to check out some snow boards and skis. We we're both salivating looking at all those boards. All Mike could say was "kung ndi lng ako uuwi". I on the other hand was so close to getting the Rossignol Passion ski set(with binders and all).It was $220 down from $480.It's very much discounted but had to stop myself. If only we're not paying for our own wedding.lol My friends on the other hand was all souped up with winter gears on hand and burton boards and boots.lol Anyways, after shopping and claiming our free lift tickets for Snow summit and Big Bear we headed home.


-mahal ko carrying our boots-

*I'll post more pics later.

We started really early. Mike decided to just shop nearby instead of going to Cabazon outlet which would take 1 1/2 hrs drive. We 1st went to Toys R' Us. Mike is going home to Phil this Dec so he wanted to shop for toys for his niece and nephew and boy did we shop!! We got so many toys for them. I also got toys for my godchildren. Most of the toys we got are on sale. We were able to buy learning laptop, playdoh, singing and dancing spiderman, baby with 4 in 1 stroller, Barbie, activity walker, rc truck and medical kit which I luv bec. it was almost the same toy that made me think I want to be in a medical field when I was still young.



next stop was the mall, Mike bought a couple of pants and shirt from Old Navy and Hollister then we head off to Target. We only bought a couple of things there for pasalubong and I got my Devil Wear's Prada DVD.


Last stop for the morning was Costco and we bought a set of rechargeable battery, Teflon cooking set for mike's parents and chocolates for pasalubong again. After that we went to eat lunch then rest for a while then went shopping again but this time in the ritzy South coast Plaza.

I already warned Mike beforehand that I'm going to make a big purchase so he better not give me that "look". hehe, So, my choice is between these 4 bags. Aren't they all B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L??!! But I can only add 1 to my collection for now..So, which is which???





So, after so much thinking and salivating I chose this





I luv it. It will match my outfit on sunday and I'm going to get a lot of mileage from this bag. My only gripe is it was given to me in a small box so my bag is folded inside. I hate folded bags that's y I put paper inside my bags so it won't lose it's shape. My other LV bag comes with a right size box so no need to fold y can't they do the same thing dba?

*pic taken only thru my phone

I finally got it. The shipping was fast. I ordered it just last saturday and got it today. Can't wait to use my cam and gps. I'm so happy with my purchase.hehe

Snow season is almost here. I can't wait to go skiing but I'm definitely going to the expo first so, I can get a free lift ticket and maybe a new set of skis and ofcourse winter ensemble. I lost my snow gloves last time so I will definetely buy a new one.

I did some major damage to my account today. I bought Nikon d40x package that comes with 2 lenses and a couple of other things. I also got the Garmin nuvi 650 gps navigator. I'm so excited, hopefully they ship it before thanksgiving holiday.

I'd been wanting to buy a dslr but I kept putting it off. It's a graduation gift from my parents but I decided to pass my boards 1st before I buy it. But after passing NCLEX I put it off again and just want to wait for the thansgiving sale.But wait no more for less than a week I will have this baby in my hands.

I'm horrible with directions so navigator is a MUST for me. I had my 1st navigator few yrs ago when I use my palm pda/gps navigator but I got tired of it because it has too many wires and the screen is a little small. Then I got the Magellan Maestro 4000 but returned it because the battery sucks. So,now I bought this Garmin nuvi 650. It has a widescreen, turn-by-turn directions, with street names, an MP3 player, JPEG picture viewer and audiobook capability with anti-theft feature and the battery last 7 hrs(supposedly). I'm excited for this one too. No more missed exits or wrong turn.

I've joined the band wagon. I officially got my 1st make up kit. I always see BE's infomercial but I never get to watch the whole thing. But the other day I finish the whole 30 mins and got excited about it. My friends have been using it already and looks really good on them. I went to sephora to try it and match it with my complexion and I got the Medium beige starting kit. The sales lady tried to teach me the step by step because I told her I'm a make up novice. After the trial session I'm hook it looks natural and just hide some flaws on my face..yihee!excited=)So, I bought it and hopefully learn how to do it on my own.



I signed up also with Sephora's club membership it's free and comes with a lot of deals and for every $100 you spend you get a free loot.
