I found the most practical bag ever. When I buy bags, I always opt for any color except black. I thought black always looked formal or too drab so I would always choose bags with color. But when hubby surprised me with a new bag, I was surprised how I end up using it everyday for the past week, with no desire or urge to choose anything else.

I asked hubby why he chose to give me a black bag, he said that it looks very classic and goes with anything you wear. So ladies, if you are looking to buy your first designer bag, I would definitely recommend the Balenciaga Giant 12 Velo Gold.

Aside from being absolutely obsessed with makeup, I have a passion for handbags. In college, I never expected to be addicted to designer bags, but my love for labels started when my sister worked for Rustan's back in 2000 and I was introduced to labels. My first designer bag was a Louis Vuitton Mabillion Epi Leather in Yellow that I bought in Hong Kong on my way back to Manila when I travelled to Europe alone in 2000. The next purse I bought was after college and I was already working, and soon I had my very own collection of handbags.

Fast forward to 2006, I was introduced to Balenciaga because I was obsessed with Paris Hilton at that time. I aspired to own a Balenciaga back then but it wasn't until 2008 that I bought my first Balenciaga Twiggy in Olive Green (I forgot the name of the color) -A beautiful shade of gray that kinda looks like olive green.

So last year, a month before my birthday I ordered my gift from my friend who was coming home from the US and it finally arrived! Yay!
