How's your day?

Mine is great! It felt like the stars came down on me today and gave some of their sparkles to me. Today is just one of those days that I feel really confident... like nothing can ever make me feel inferior. And if my feelings will translate to a bag, it'd look like this Valentino embellished bag.

A 'Manila' bag from Italy

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

This day officially starts the new year of our Chinese brothers and sisters. I just find it weird that they celebrate the Spring Festival during Winter. And while billions of Chinese from all over the world (you too perhaps) are celebrating, pause for a while and take a look at this 'Manila' sparkling clutch from VBH. 

It is made of silver sparkle fabric with an envelope design, contrast stitching and with three small silver studs in front. It is handmade in Italy--which justifies its price of $1,100 at Neiman Marcus. This is a pre-order item and shipping will start on March 11.

I am featuring this clutch because Manila is close to my heart and Italy is the place I wanted to visit someday.

Who would've thought the the creepy crawlers would be fashionable?  What's more surprising is that luxury brands are profiting from bugs.  Although I don't like insects crawling anywhere, I think this box clutch by Bottega and Veneta with green and yellow scarabs is adorable.  The knotted clasp isn't not bad either.  This is available at Net-A-Porter for a whopping $8,000.  Those bugs are really expensive. Argh!
