Bag of the day: Diorissimo in Bleu Persan

Last week I paired my Diorissimo Blue Persan with beige pumps from Christian Louboutin. This pair of beige/nude Prorata 90 pumps is one of my favourite shoes. It is comfy and flattering my feet.

I'll tell you something. I am the person who lives in her flat shoes most of the times. I can't stand the height of those killer heels. Frequent sessions of pilates does not help me much on this issue. So yes, most of the pairs in my closet are flat/ballerina shoes and wedges/mid heels simply for comfort reason, and I think that I would not force myself to change this fact haha

Inside my bag: Dior Miss Dior Promenade

The bag was acquired a few months ago (check here) and honestly I quite like its compact size.
Whenever I use the bag, I have to change the wallet because a normal continental wallet would not be able to go inside this small bag.
And this time, I intentionally left the wallet at home and used a Bottega Veneta card case and a money pouch from Tulisan instead. No bulky wallet inside the bag and I got the bonus of having a lightweight bag for the day.

My 2nd Dior: Diorissimo Small Bleu Persan

I never thought that I would score TWO Dior bags in a month. Phewww....

Well, honestly I have not bought any new bags in the past 3 months (on a bag ban!) and I have started to let go some of my collection. So, I think it is a good chance (and reason) that I start venturing to a new brand or style *wink*

When I came to Dior store last week, I did not have any intention to buy one. I just wanted to make some enquiries about Diorissimo (like size, leather types and colours) as I never saw it in real life.
Then the SA showed me a Diorissimo medium in bleu persan. I really love the colour at the first sight but then a medium size was too big for my petite frame (just 5'1). The SA said that they had a very limited stock for Diorissimo small and did not have one in bleu persan. At that time I felt a little bit disappointed for not being able to see one.

So I left the store empty handed and had a nice lunch with a friend. In the middle of the lunch, the SA called me and excitedly confirmed that the store actually still had a Diorissimo small in bleu persan. Just like the one that I want. Wow! I suddenly felt my excitement was getting stronger and I quickly finished my lunch.

I then came back to the store and was warmly greeted by this stunning baby. Well, I loveeee it. The size is perfect and the colour is amazing. The bag was calling my name loudly lol that I could no longer stand it....

At the end I helplessly gave my credit card to the SA and asked her to wrap this baby for me.

So that's the story for my 2nd Dior... with a very happy ending. I hope that one day I might be able to gradually grow my Dior collection.

See my first Dior here, also acquired this month...

One of the best packaging

Yesterday I went to Dior boutique and bought something *wink*
I think Dior provides one of the best packaging when we buy something from the store. And I am super excited with this purchase.

Well, I never thought that I would get two Dior bags in a month after I did not have any new bags in the past 3 months (pssst, check the other Dior haul here). In this case, the quote "good things come to those who wait" is so true, because it happened to me.

Definitely I will arrange a separate post to share my excitement and reveal latest purchase ;)

Princess of Wales and Lady Dior

Diana, Princess of Wales proved that Lady Dior has been a timeless classic bag.

As a royal public figure, she always looked elegant and classy in her clothing choices. And I believe that Lady Dior (medium size) was one of her favourite handbags at that time since the bag had accompanied her to various royal engagements or duties. 

This is one of the inspiration that has influenced me to get my first Lady Dior (large size) for my self birthday present this year (check here).

The First Lady

I am so excited to present my new baby, a Lady Dior.

It is in large size and as expected I have opted for the classic black lambskin with gold hardware. It is my mantra that the first bag from my favourtie brand should be in black (although red is also acceptable) before I venture myself to other colours.

Hence this bag is a beautiful addition to my Black family (check here)
