Yellow Frangipani in Full Bloom









Frangipani (Or Plumeria in Latin) is my favourite flower and tree to grow in my own garden. I especially love the sunny yellow frangipani.

In the current house that I live, I have planted 2 trees of yellow frangipani. And during dry season, they bloom very often. The formula is simple to have a nice blooming frangipani trees: more sunlight more flowers. So ensure that the trees get direct sunlight and there is no obstruction.

These blooming flowers are currently taken place at my house. I love seeing these fresh yellow flowers (and they smell nice too!).

Having admired these flowers, I then spoke to myself, "Do I I have any yellow bags?" After 5 seconds of thinking I remembered, "Yes, I do have few yellow bags."

So now I am presenting my yellow bags lol

  1. Celine Cabas Small Horizontal Citrine
  2. Tory Burch 797 satchel patent croc print yellow
  3. Longchamp Le Plieage in curry
  4. Longchamp Le Plieage in mustard

Inside my bag: YSL Chyc Cabas






The bag is YSL Chyc Cabas medium in dark green (check my special post in here). It is my recent bag acquisition that so far got a very good feedback from me. I am just happy and satisfied with this bag.

I carried the usual stuffs in my bag, except that now I use my new Chanel Camellia bifold wallet. It was a birthday present from my dear husband (check the reveal in here). Love it! Love you honey!





Inside my cosmetic pouch, I had few make-up stuffs, tea bags, band aid (very important  when wearing new pair of shoes) and sanitary napkins (not shown here, as it is still kept inside the pouch, hehe).
And I like this compact and lightweight cosmetic pouch from Sea Breeze Studio @Etsy (check my Etsy shopping haul in here).

Bags of the week




In our bedroom, we have a lazy chair that was originally intended for watching TV and doing some light readings.
But, recently the chair has different function. Neither I nor my husband used it for cozy lounging, instead my bags occupied the chair. It just became a bag lazy chair lol

Well, this is the spot where I place the bags that are currently on duty. Typically I changed bag (at least) twice a week in order to rotate my many bags :D

So, here they are, my bags of the week: Celine Trapeze black croc stamp and YSL Chyc Cabas medium in dark green.
See them in various places like in here and here :)

Chanel Camellia Wallet







A recent birthday present from my husband, a lovely Chanel Camellia bifold wallet in turquoise. Just the right colour to brighten my days. I simply adore it!

Thank you Honey!

An afternoon break









It has been a holiday season in the past 1.5 weeks and we decided to just stay at home and to enjoy the quiet city (as everyone is rushing for the homecoming trip). And when it comes to holiday, it is always the mother who gets busy all the time. Everyone from kids to husband would call me whenever they needed something or when an incident happened lol

So it was good when I could 'escape' for an hour or two and had an afternoon break (alone) at may favourite coffee shop, Antipodean. A cup of cappuccino (from excellent coffee bean) and a bowl of fresh fruit yogurt have successfully gave me a boost for my afternoon energy and mood.

Oh, and my bag of the day was YSL Chyc Cabas medium in dark green. The bag surely get busy recently as it is among my favourite bags now.

Happy holiday!

Simple breakfast







Well, this is another post that features food and bag lol

It was during a rather hectic morning (for running errands) that I managed to make a stop at my favourite coffee shop, Antipodean. I had a 30 minute break to enjoy a cup of excellent cappuccino and a slice of carrot cake.

During that day I wore a Tulisan's tote bag from the recent print of Celosia Cristata.
Definitely I love its bold print and vibrant colour!
For me, a tote bag is always a good companion for a day with a non-stop route like kids' school, supermarket, laundry, bank, cake shop (to order a birthday cake for my daughter), a quick stop at campus and back to kids' school. Well, I was just a busy bee as usual ;)

Red velvet and rainbow cakes

My bag of the night: Celine Trapeze Black Croc Stamp



Obviously, food and bag are my favourite things :D

2 weeks ago, I had dinner with some close friends at Goods Diner, a place where its red velvet and rainbow cakes (and burger) are quite famous among those cake lovers like me. And yes, I was so satisfied with these two cakes. They just had the right mix of taste (not too sweet) and texture (neither too soft nor too spongy). Good for me. And good for my tummy.

My bag of the night was Celine Trapeze Black Croc Stamp. This Trapeze bag has been continuosly on duty in the past 2 weeks.
It's chic (well, it is Celine's IT bag lol) and worry-free (obviously for being a black bag). Love it!!

These bags have got new homes. Yay!

Aaden and Kaitlin






I like Tory Burch shoes, especially its flat and pump shoes.
These Aaden (flat and pump) and Kaitlin (flat) are my latest acquisition from its Independence Day sale (last month).

And I have to say that these shoes are all very comfortable.
Definitiely they are worth buying!!

Travelling in Longchamp







I tried to change handbag whenever I had the opportunity of travelling by airplane, so that I can 'test' the bag and make a verdict if the bag is really suitable for travelling purpose.

From the recent trip, I brought Longchamp LM in burgundy from FW 2012 collection. Being a Longchamp canvas/non-leather bag it was already a travel friendly bag, and this LM series bag has coated fabrics that was proven to be durable.

I saw no scratches/rubs on any parts of the bag after being used and abused for 3 days. And I wish to highlight that this bag from LM series looks much more durable than the Le Pliage series.


And while waiting for our flight to take off, I was quite hungry but none of the food at airport's restaurants appealed me. So I just had dessert at Bakerzin instead.

I ordered Profiteroles and a cup of hot chocolate. And it turned out that it was a giant Profiteroles with 4 scoops of soft vanilla ice cream!


Profiteroles or cream puff (US) or choux à la crème is a choux pastry ball filled with whipped cream, pastry cream, or ice cream. This treat is usually very sweet. The puffs may be decorated or left plain or garnished with chocolate sauce, caramel, or a dusting of powdered sugar. (Wikipedia)



See how big my profiteroles was!
