Summer Shopping Spread - Bagoholic

1. Roxy shoulder bag + pouch

Roxy rox

*

they are not exactly not from

the same collection range

but just happened to be so matching

*

my pouch at Taj Mahal

@ Taj Mahal 

*

what if the shoulder bag is

being carried by a guy?

Chong Jia Loon

*

time for sunbathing

after all the dust at India

my mom said i shouldn’t wash it

because the color wouldn’t

look as vibrant anymore

sunbathing Roxy

*

2. MNG eco-friendly tote bag

MNG green bag

*

first impression of this bag

this is a shirt

i bought this bag

with the intention of making it

a spare bag when i am travelling

i don’t want to come back from travelling

with some cheap plastic bag again

the risk of damaging my stuff is very high

so is the risk of leaving it behind somewhere

*

just like what happened to me at India

my luggage and bag were already saturated

but i didn’t have an extra bag

so ended up carrying my precious souvenirs

wrapped in few layers of plastic shopping bags

*

the label

fuschia MNG

*

for the time being

using it to put my clothes

it’s durable and waterproof

most appropriate for keeping

bulky, light stuffs

ideal as laundry bag

*

3. Quiksilver black eco tote bag

QS tote

*

i know i got lots of green bag like this at home

but this is different

the material is thicker

and all black makes it more dirt-proof

*

now putting it to practical use

my food stash

*

QS food stash

*

at first thought of getting this one

but the material is rather thin

not much of use

just that the logos are pretty cool

*

green print Roxy 

*

the 3 designs available

do you think i have made a right choice

the Roxy one are too too ghastly

*

rm 20 

*

4. Guess handbag

GUESS

*

finally my 1st ever personal Guess

it’s simply like a wish realized

been craving for it

for months or years perhaps

*

i didn’t post the wrong photo

this is a Guess

this is the best part

a Guess that doesn’t look like Guess at all

without any logo and the word printed on it

*

flora Guess 

*

the inner preview

Guess written in my favourite italic font

with light colour floral print

it is so different from the

conventional Guess design

*

inner compartment

*

best of all

it can be carried inside out

so i got 2 designs

for a price of one Guess bag

*

who's this lovely model 

*

5. Pierre Cardin laptop backpack

Pierre Cardin backpack

*

planning to get a backpack

because my Radioactive one

doesn’t look very reliable

the straps are giving way

*

saw a nice Nike floral print

NIke Half Day All Access

it is very cute

so desperate that

i smsed to my mom from India

asking her to go get the bag for me

*

my dad went

but later came back empty-handed

because he judged that the bag

is just one of the simple backpack

not very big

just with a Nike logo

*

then i decided to go to hunt for a new one

i tried out two

Hush Puppies cutie, with bone design

then another mini Elle

*

but they are so mini that

i look like a kindergarten going kid

*

now i have learnt my lesson

buying a bag is like clothes

must try it on

whether it looks good on you

whether it is comfortable

and how much stuffs can it carry

pay for the quality

not the brand and design

*

besides i prefer simple design

when you are travelling alone

it’s safer to keep low profile

*

therefore this Pierre Cardin suits me well

it’s expandable too

without many compartments

how often do I fully utilize the compartments

just keep it simple

and i can stuff everything in

*

6 Parkson Ecofabulous green bag

Ecofab

*

top up rm 10

and got this bag

actually i wasn’t too happy about Parkson

because they don’t provide paperbag

despite i bought quite a lot

my hand can feel the weight

*

finally i put some of my shopping bags

into my new backpack

really looked like a backpack tourist

*
