Steady March '09

Sorry about the dearth of posts this week as it has been one of those weeks in which every day, I feel even more knackered than the previous day due to the barrage of work. I didn't make any new makeup purchases this week though I did end up spending a pretty bundle on this LeSportsac bag (S$165) in the Faerie Tree print.



I would have preferred it in the Diane style but it was not available in either Isetan or Takashimaya so I settled for the Greta, which was a style that I did not have yet. The Greta is roomy enough to fit my daily stash of wallet, card case, iPod, keys and random paraphernalia and tucks very comfortably under the arm. I like the Tribeca as well but it's not as comfortable to carry on the shoulder as the Greta. I love LeSportsac bags for their light weight, convenience and durability, plus all the quirky cute prints. I probably have close to 15 LeSportsac bags by now, with about half being the Tokidoki series.



My only other purchase of the week was the new March issue of Steady magazine, which I rushed to Kinokuniya on Thursday noon to grab as it came with a Rebecca Taylor vanity pouch. Rebecca Taylor is one of my favourite clothing brands, very similar in sensibility to Jill Stuart, so I had to have it :-)



The shape is identical to the Paul & Joe Sister pouch that came with the Oct '08 issue of Spring magazine. I was lucky to get the last copy of Steady at the Kino in Ngee Ann City. I think Kino brings in very few copies of Steady, compared to Sweet, which had more than a dozen copies stacked up when I was there. There is an elastic band under the lid for holding brushes.



The Rebecca Taylor dress that has the same print as the pouch.


Another Rebecca Taylor dress with the floral print in blue.


Paul & Joe Sister handkerchieves and gift boxes! I like the tote bag too but it costs a whopping 26,250yen... sigh.


I adore this white Agnes B. Voyage pouch (4200yen)!


More Agnes B. Voyage purses.


Also lemming the red Anna Sui wallet with the butterfly charm (12,600yen)!


And finally, another reason to stalk Kinokuniya for Steady next month! The April issue will come with a Rope Picnic lunch tote (16cm x20cm x10cm) and scrunchie with a delightful star print. Rope Picnic is a Japanese clothing brand.


Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Whether you are married, attached or single, I hope you enjoy the day with a loved one.
