eld 1

my bag whore ways have been traded in for boring teaching days. i've been a school marm for the past 10 days now...ahhh....my soul has been sucked out of me once again. no, don't get me wrong. my kids are super cute and i like them a lot....i think it's just the hum drum of teaching and the same routine of feeling "stuck" in the classroom. i'm just getting bored i think...you know, the dreaded 5 year itch that teachers talk about. seriously, i think i need a new challenge and changing grade levels probably isn't the answer either. perhaps i need to really go on a vaykay next time instead of teaching intersession...but then again, how else will i support my bag whore ways AND my wee house? my priorities sure are screwed up :)

anyways, to commemorate me teaching once again....my REAL identity as oppose to this bag whore one, i would like to show you this fug tote that marc by marc jacobs actually tried to sell to his minions. it's called the "new standard supply tote." i think it's hilarious....reminds me of the scaffolding you would need to provide to second language learners when they access english...you know, label everything in the classroom. like a chair would have a card that says "chair," a clock would say "clock," and his tote says "tote." ugly right?

i never forgot you....

potsticker was right when she said:

"Don't tell me it's that wallet you returned at the Rodeo Drive Chanel Boutique."

she is partly right anyways...that's how she rolls..always being partly right. oh snap!

i did go to the chanel boutique looking for something but not specifically for the blue camellia wallet that i had returned in the past and which potsticker had guessed. but while i was waiting for the sa to get that "something else" for me to look at, she opened a drawer that housed the blue/grey camellia wallet. YES, i was lured again. it is such a BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL color with a super feminine pattern. the kind that makes you swoon a bit and you start thinking to yourself (well myself anyways), "ahhh, it is too pretty to pass up this time right?" i needed to re-evaluate my past decision especially since i know it's been sold out in most places.

so i asked to see if they had a virginal blue/grey camellia wallet in their stockroom and they did. but upon further inspection, i found a little white spot on the inside of the wallet (no bueno!)...and sadly, i still found the same issues with it. the lambskin is too delicate (i think i would baby it too much and it will still get all scratched up), there's not enough credit card slots, AND the bills don't lie flat in the bill slot. i feel this style wallet was not made for the american dollar. anyways, i already have my red prada and my orange colored chanel one...and my wee house for that matter. i guess TECHNICALLY, i don't need another wallet so i decided to pass. still regrettable, but i don't think i would have put it to good use.

however, because i LOVE this color and pattern so much, i decided to pick up a credit card holder in this design. it has 3 credit card slots and a slot in the middle to hold any folded up bills. it's a tad bigger than a regular credit card and i think it will make a great alternative to using a real sized wallet for golden deliciousness since she's a tad small herself. besides, i'm just going to fess up right now. i wanted to own a piece of this gorgeousness and buying a cc holder seems a lot more reasonable than a wallet that i would not use often.

isn't it gorgeous?!

a tote you can believe in

to continue with my unrelentless slamming of all things associated with me in regards to the election, you must not be suprised that bagnatic got a piece of this political action either right? ok, if you're over it, then you might not want to check myweehouse either for today. i slammed some politics over there as well. tee hee....i am a one-track minded person. what can i say? persistence is my strength...though my momma just thinks i'm stubborn.

what do you think of this tote? hmmmm?? some catch phrases can be:

"a tote for change"

"a tote you can believe in"

anyways, i'm excited for this election. excited about the possibilities. excited about a non-republican president and ending this god forsaken war. i would tote this tote to the polling station if i could...but i guess i will just have to settle for one of my other equally hot but not as political bags.

did you vote?

OBAMA made me do it!


this past weekend i went to nevada to do some canvassing work for the obama campaign. we stayed for 2 nights and a day, which meant NO GAMBLING (boo) but i did manage to carve out some teeny weeny time to pick up a piece of chanel. BUT OF COURSE RIGHT? there's totally a correlation between obama, nevada, and chanel. don't you see it?!

it is a teeny tiny chanel, but there's some nostalgia value mixed in it as well as practicality. if you've followed bagnatic from the beginning, it will look somewhat familiar to you. stay tuned for the reveal!

happy halloween!

happy halloween ladies!! did anybody dress up for this ghoulish holiday? how about eating some candy corn at the very least? pumpkin spice latte at starbucks? well, however you decide to celebrate this frightful day, bagnatic would like to celebrate halloween with pictures of a disturbing bag: the HEAD BAG (yes, i AM a dork, you can go ahead and say it.....).

"Yael Mer designed these ‘Head Hand Bag’, which are inspired by the biblical story about Judith and Holofernes and its visual representation from the Renaissance. Each bag tells its own story."

this is the story:

head 1: so, how did you lose your head?
head 2: umm, my chariot was going too fast so my head got sliced off by the wooden bridge overpass. how about thou?
head 1: i had an illicit affair with the master's wife and got caught. that wasn't the only head of mine that got cut off if ya know what i'm sayin' *wink*
head 2: tmi
head 3: could you guys shut up please?! i'm trying to get some shut eye here!


hey wait a minute...are these ethnic heads?! where's the yellow one?!

imagine this could be YOU, rocking a head bag!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

smooches,

bagnatic;)

preventing the abyss

large bags are in. you would think this wouldn't be the case since it's been "in" since at least early 2007. what happened to fickle fashion and getting outdated quickly? well, lucky for you if you are a big bag lova. you're still safe if you are carrying your FBI body bag sort of bag. apparently, the bigger the handbag, the better.

courtney cox with her big ass red snakeskin "bird bag."

angelina jolie with her anya hindmarch tote.


gorgeous chanel croc tote. huge effer though.

now, if you can carry off such a behemoth of a bag, then i have to wonder, HOW THE HECK DO YOU FIND YOUR THINGS IN SUCH A LARGE BAG??!! some designers are considerate of this fact and sew pockets on the insides of the bag for your cell phone, keys, etc.... but others do not. i guess if you were planning to carry such a huge ass bag in the first place, the designers probably assume that convienence isn't your main priority. lucky for angelina and courtney, there is a solution to this: the purseket. yep. an organizer for your big ass bag.

"The Large measures: 8" high from top of key post x 36" long. It wraps around inside to line the purse with 8 gusseted pockets. Fits canvas totes, carryalls, travel bags, large purses, beach bags, diaper bags with 15" min. opening x 8" min depth. 8th pocket is 6" wide & has velcroed flap which can be tucked behind the Purseket when not needed. Bulky items, eg. wallets, makeup cases, dayplanners, sit in the middle of a clean purse."

um, i have a few big bags myself, but i think the purseket is tacky. i know it's practical and all, but i can't get over how "pocket protectorish" it all seems. you know, GEEKY. it just seems ick to open your big ole chanel or marc jacobs to find one of these things in there. i don't mind digging around my purse for my wallet and keys. would you pursket your purse? it's $22 for a large, $20 for a medium, and $18 for a small. OR, you can take that money and get a froyo, yo. i pick option B.

chanel has nothing on this

i bought this. i loves it a lot. please click on the link and see what i've been doing with my free time.

Monday, October 13, 2008

so i bought something else.......


anybody care to guess what it might be? it's quite lovely actually and it's better than a chanel. that's right. i said it. it's BETTER than a chanel.

why are you so hot?!

chanels have increased in retail price at a monstrous rate. the classic chanel styles you buy now are hiked up sometimes 3-9% in comparison to the previous year's cost! outrageous! i suspect one of the reasons for these price hikes is to maintain "exclusivity." young hollywood has been rocking them hard and the lemmings always follows. i wouldn't call myself a lemming, but unfortunately, i do heart chanel so much. let's look at some young hollywood rocking their chanels.


here's lauren conrad from mtv's "the hills" (omg i love that show). she's rocking a jumbo caviar flap. to no one's suprise, there is a suspected price hike on jumbos in november.



here's heidi (also from "the hills") rocking her white chanel accordian flap.


and here's audrina (also from "the hills") rocking her chanel diamond stitch tote. that sucker went up in price real quick and became a hot ebay number.

lindsay lohan and her super cute mini red lambskin flap. this bag is slightly bigger than a wallet on a chain. LOVE the red.

not to mention the countless other young celebrities that love them as well: mischa barton, nicole richie, paris hilton, olsen twins, christina aguilara, etc (hahaha, i didn't want to spend too much time downloading all their pics). anyways, a good bag is loved by all. too bad this love drives up the prices so damn high, hence, another suspected price hike in november.

*btw, why my homage to "the hills" girls? they brought teen attention to chanels. talk about the power of media.

don't ruffle her bag!

many bags share similar qualities. sometimes you see this quality prevalent in all the design houses in one season, and some linger and overflow to the next. i don't know if that's called staying power or just persistence. i think designers do find a fashion pulse though and they design a lot around a certain inspiration. OR, they see a particular style that they like and then they replicate it because they ran out of ideas themselves. who knows.... in my classroom, i call that COPYING. nooooo bueno!

in the past season, dior came out with a "gypsy bag." i believe the red ruffles you see adorning this bag is suppose to make you think of the tons of ruffles that a "gypsy" might rock with her skirts.



hot cartoon gypsy chick. notice the bellowing skirt.

in january of this year, dior came out with a red ruffled "gypsy bag." i don't think it's very cute. love the red color, but the ruffles are TOO much. don't they look like oversized panties? it also looks like you're carrying a frock. and for the price...ick. put that frickin' frock down!

i saw it sitting by its lonesome at a dior store. i did not go in to inquire, but the bag looked pretty big and i think the ruffles are made of leather.

fast forward 9 months later, another frickin' frock shows up. say hello to the prada pizzo sachel. it appears to be covered in lace and again it has RUFFLES. this bag is a straight up school-marm-with-a-tight-bun-about-to-attend-a-funeral bag though. this is no, no, no.

i think we should leave the ruffles alone. this is one fashion detail i don't mind disappearing with the dinosaurs.

a luxe pig


why did my sister send me this?
i can't believe someone did that to the pig!

blinged out hermes...oooohh la la

the hermes birkin is a pretty awesome bag. pretty awesome indeed. this hermes is beyond awesome though. check out the hardware!

this is a 35cm braise porosus croc with diamond hardware. so luscious is it not? croc skin and diamonds?! gorgeous! and the red?! spectacular!




oooooh la la indeed.

don't judge a bag by it's cover

on a recent trip to sin city, my friend and i were strolling through fashion show mall and we came across this kiosk called "miche bag." a 24 year old woman named michelle developed this concept bag.

anyways, the concept is simple. you have a basic black bag like this:

the bag itself is laid out with all these hidden magnets and the "shell" which is the interchangeable part is also laid with magnets. you snap off the shell when you want to change the look and then snap on a new shell when you figure out that new look. the process is SUPER EASY and pretty sturdy. i know because i walked by one and played with it.

snap on your shell of choice and voila! you have a new look for your bag!

first of all, freakin' shot outs to this michelle chick for coming up with a bag concept and making it happen. she is ONLY 24! dang. and i think the bag is "growing" in sales. she took the universal appeal of getting the best bang for your buck and made it a business. come on now, what better bang can you get than buying ONE item but find multiple looks and uses for it. i think most of us have good satisfaction when we can use any item to it's bits and pieces. makes it feel like it's worth our money.

anyways, the shells of her bag have girl's names. i'm assuming she must be naming them after some important chicks in her life. my favorite one is the "amy" shell. i don't know why the "amy" shell looks like a jail uniform though:

i personally wouldn't get a miche bage cuz i think it's fugz and the idea insults my bag whore proclivities. but to each their own.

rain, rain, go away


as i thought of our two friends traveling to a land where hurricane gustav might have blazed through, i was reminded of this interesting bag i saw. it's called a "bag raincoat" and it serves exactly what its name states...a bag for your bag during the rainy season.

i "get it" i suppose because some of these purses are hella expensive. it makes sense that you would want to protect them from damage during a rainy interlude. and i also "get it" i suppose in not wanting to put your chanel or bottega veneta in a plastic vons bag in order to protect it. you don't want to appear tacky so i "get it."

BUT, i still think it's pretty dumb. i would rather not bag my bag in a bag. if i expect it to rain, then i won't even carry my leathery babies. but if i didn't expect it to rain but it did, then i would just tuck it under my jacket or swiftly wipe the beads of rain off my purses as i have done in the past. spending money on a plastic raincoat for your bag smells like a dumb idea.

so shady


here's what's in the box. whoo hoo! i know right? wtf did it take me so long to post? it wasn't a tease. i promise!! just been uber busy and tired out with some other time consuming obligations.

anyways, i saw these pair of sunglasses when i had bought my gold metallic reissue. i really thought they were great looking for my face (though my sis and a friend just thought they were OK). obviously, i tried on EVERY pair they had and these sunglasses truly fitted my asian face the best. it sat comfortably on my nose and it covered my eyebrows. i liked that a lot. i also liked the way the cc's looked on the side. pretentious? perhaps. i just thought it was a cute detail with a good fit. but after some pondering, i decided i couldn't buy it then and there. i WAS NOT about to walk away with a new bag AND some sunglasses. i thought that would be horrific for my wallet so i restrained myself....barely.

well, a few weeks went by and i returned. that's usually how long it takes for an idea to sit in and germinate. i immediately went to chanel to look for those sunnies. eh?! ALL GONE?! no way really? so from that period onwards, i looked at all the department stores, etc...that sold chanel sunnies and all the sales folks told me that the particular style i was looking for SOLD OUT and was DISCONTINUED. apparently, they fitted A LOT of faces, especially asian ones so they were one of the firsts to go. awww....

that was a few months ago. recently during a stroll through scp with my boiling crab splattered t-shirt, i dropped by the bloomies chanel to say "hi" to kazue. kazue wasn't there, but LOW and BEHOLD, what do i see there?! one pair of these sunnies left!!! i bet it was either a returned item or it was forgotten in the stock room. anyways, no pondering this time. i immediately bought them and have been rocking them since.

here's some modeling pics courtesy of afro ken. isn't he adorable?! the sunnies totally fit him as well.


and a profile shot. cute!

bag huntress

"I do not think that it is rational to think that you will find it"

dang, you dasher-er of dreams. this response is from an SA that i've been talking to about a particular bag in a particular color. after visiting the boutique once, we've talked on the phone and emailed. this response was taken from one of her emails.

i have a particular bag in mind so i am on a bag hunt which may or may not result in anything...leaning towards probably not. it's best for my wallet that i don't. it is tough when one sees a beautiful bag though that one MUST add to a bagdrobe. the hunt continues.... :)

it takes a village to celebrate a marriage


if you haven't heard me mention this before, i am slated to attend MANY weddings this year. last night, was another one. the person getting married is the son of a family that lived in the same village as my parents back in our mother land. that's right. keeping the village relations tight. being the somewhat filial daughters that we are, my sis and i became the taxi service for the fam, driving two uncles and our parents all the way to claremont in friday rush hour traffic....effin' friday traffic. you might wonder why they did not just get married during the weekend to make it easier on their guests? that's because asians love their superstitions (though i must admit, i fobbily ascribe to them too for different things), and yesterday was 08-08-08. it was a lucky day to be married...i guess you can't discount the billions of chinese who think they are in the right.

the wedding was quaint. it was held at one of the claremont college campuses so we got slightly lost. we missed the wedding ceremony itself, but came just in time for their open bar (score!) and appetizers. i chatted with some fam, but my sis and i mostly amused ourselves by taking pictures and by drinking. i discovered a great drink that night! amaretto with milk. sooooo tasty and dessertish. by the time we got seated, i alreay had 3 drinks. by the end of the night, i had 5. yum. they must be weak or my tolerance has grown. oh my! hahahaha.

as always, i carried golden deliciousness. she is my evening bag of choice. at the wedding, i also noticed a chanel sister carrying her white caviar flap with silver hardware. she sat at the next table directly behind me so i was able to steal some shots. white bags are really pretty, but alas, i can imagine they are hard to take care of. it would be hard for me to spend that kind of money on a white bag. anyways, another wedding attended. so far, the count is three.



side view. so preeettyyy.....


full frontal. it looked like the medium size to me.

fairies, fairies, everywhere!

i mention these prada fairy bags many months ago. as expected, the design drove many prada lovas into a frenzy and a ton of things spun out from this one design. it's actually pretty cool to look at and the fairies grow on me. they are pretty darn cute. anyways, the time to snatch them up was in january but they are still great to look at. very funky and fresh.



fairy pouch

fairy shoes

fairy small pouch


fairy wallet

fairy wristlet pouch

fairies, fairies, everywhere. it does look like a work of art. very whimsical.

woot woot!

tee hee. today is my berfday! i really want to see a bagnatic entry with a july 27 stamp on it. if you are use to my dorkiness, then this quirk may come as no suprise to you.

my berfday festivities started on friday with great friends and good eats at "the park" (i yelped it in case your stomach is curious). i thought it was a pretty scrump-de-li-lumptious meal and happily knew that this meal signified a fat ass weekend for moi. what a great way to start it up! holla! and a fat ass weekend it has become!

yesterday, saturday, was just as fantastic. a few friends took me to crustaceans because i rave about the garlic noodles all the time so they delivered me right to their koi doors. yummy! they are my social activist friends from way back. seriously, back in the days, i used to march in rallies, participate in protests, helped with some community organizing, etc... can you hear me scream this?
"hey, hey, ho, ho (insert cause) has got to go"
or
"the people, united, will never be defeated!"
well ask me next time. i can demonstrate :) picture me squatting with a bunch of ucla folks at bunche hall during the affirmative action protests or marching in downtown during all those immigration props. i did a bunch of activist stuff before i settled down and became a cranky teacher with a penchant for chanel that you now know. oh those were the days!

anyways, i carried golden deliciousness to dinner (my chanel metallic gold reissue) since i wanted to max her out. throughout dinner, i must admit that i tried to hide her a bit or i would put my hand over the tiny chanel inscription on the clasp. i felt a bit embarrassed to carry her amongst my activist friends...i can't explain it other than the fact that i had a very different persona back then and if they ever found out about my fondness for chanel, i would NEVER hear the end of it. they truly would not understand my newfound materialism and although my politics remains the same, the chanel twist would have knocked their social justice socks off. hence, no one from that particular circle of friends knows about bagnatic. shhhhh..... ;)

she is purty even though i wore her uneasily that night. here's another outfit combo. i wore this to crustaceans and golden deliciousness works just as well. she is much more versatile than i thought!

my office is still messy. i protest cleaning...come on, join my protest!

tonight will be dinner and i will FINALLY get to see the musical "wicked." i am so excited!!! it has been a wonderful birthday indeed. i am blessed to be surrounded by so many wonderful people and so many pretty little things.

i'm not a playa, i just crush a lot


in 2007, when i first entered the bag world, i was already 9 months too late to procur this beauty. this is a chanel blush patent jumbo and it got released sometime in february. i've never seen it in real life, but based on the pics i've stumbled upon, or more correctly, madly searched for via the web, the patent blush is a real gem. a nice feminine piece without being too pukey pink. that is what i think ok. anyways, it's an anomaly to me because i normally disagree with patent leather very much. i think patent looks like plastic and i don't want a plastic bag...i get a ton of those already when i go grocery shopping. i also disagree with too much pink. but alas, this blush is both pink and patent...i see broken rules all over the place for this bag geek.

one of the "dangerous" things about chanel is that they never repeat the same color. ok, black will always be black, white will always be white (though there have been variations in these also), and beige will always be beige (three signature chanel colors), but everything else always varies in shade. for instance, a red can have brown undertones or blue ones, etc....if you ever liked mixing paints, you know color combinations are endless and shades in color are truly diverse too. so given the gazillions of color mixing that could be had, chanel does not reproduce the same color on the same bags. once it's gone, it's gone.

nowadays, you may be able to find this patent blush on ebay once in a while. the bidding wars on them are pretty ridiculous too. and honestly, i haven't seen it in real life so i don't ultimately know. oh wells, it's a bag to crush on, but not one to procur. i think it's pretty darling though. *sigh*

on a hot summer day


i wonder how an ice cold chanel tastes like?

Sunday, July 13, 2008

and it shines...twice

i went to wedding number 2 yesterday and was able to debut my golden deliciousness, the chanel gold metallic reissue. whoo hoo! twice i might add in the day. once for the church ceremony and then for the reception..whoo hoo, whoo hoo!

this is my outfit when i went to the church ceremony. i don't think it's hard to pair golden deliciousness up with an outfit as long as the outfit isn't too busy looking. i think this bag looks best against a solid colored background....or as solid as you can make it. the dress i'm wearing has tiny white polka dots (and yes, i love polka dots too. thanks for wondering). i think it looks great! :) *crickets*

here's a few things i noticed about the bag. it's "soft" in the sense that it lacks the stiff structure of a caviar bag and of course with this size, it holds a lot less. i had to squeeze a ton of stuff in and the bag "gave in" a little but still maintained it's shape. definitely can't carry as much as jumbolicious. it's also a head turner. whoo hoo! i saw you checking out my bag lady! kidding!

at the reception, i saw two other chanel sisters. both were older ladies (mid 40's and 50?). one carried a white gst with gold hardware and another rocked a small vintage lambskin flap. seriously, i thought this shallow thought: it is nice to be able to enjoy some nice things at this young age. ow! i continue to stick by my philosophy that some things in life, you shouldn't wait till later to enjoy. do it now! hahahaha....

please excuse the mess in the back. this is my "office" and i barely go in there except to take modeling pics. :) note to self: suck in stomache for future modeling debuts.

if it ain't broke....

if you didn't already know, i purse stalk a lot. you know, check out other people's purses like a purse creep...especially if the purse comes from a design house that i'm familiar with. anyways, i started noticing a horrible trend in the bags that i checked out...good gawd. why are you effing with the purse?!

for instance, look at this travesty. the chloe paddington was awesome because of the leather and the padlock. in general, the padlock is made from heavy hardware and now, the paddingtons have this lucite lock which is a fancy way to say PLASTIC. seriously?! you are going to charge us purse sheep THAT much for plastic?!!! yous so wrong...



the original padlock.


the cheap lucite versions (thanks calamari for the first padlock pic).

then comes marc by marc jacobs. when i bought the dr. groovee bag, i really dug the tarnished metal that he used for the hardware. i think it gives it character and fitted the leather really well. now, the new generation of dr. groovee bags have this super polished metal which i think looks cheap. i don't like the shine. what do you think?

my golden ticket

ahhh…my golden bag. my bright, shiny golden bag! it must have been amazing when charlie bucket found his golden ticket wrapped up in his willy wonka chocolate bar. and for moi, it was just as amazing when my eyes landed on this metallic gold chanel reissue (the difference between a regular chanel flap and the reissue is the clasp and the chain strap. check out my previous post for more info. http://bagnatic.blogspot.com/2007/11/which-clasp-would-you-choose.html). oh my, what have i stumbled upon was my thought?! and why is it so damn shiny?! it was like god shone a bright light on this purse and i knew i had to have it. hahaha.

i had originally visited kazue over at scp bloomies because of this bag, the black caviar gst (grand shopping tote).


i liked totes and thought this would be a great chanel for everyday use. since kazue is super awesome, she had a lot of clients to deal with that day so as i patiently waited my turn to purchase the gst, i walked around the boutique and modeled some bags…alas, i modeled this gold reissue and a seed of “want” was sown. oh my gawd how it SHINED off my black shirt that day. it looks amazing against a solid colored outfit because the gold really pops! i really wanted the bag, but it seemed SO impractical and really expensive at the time. come on now, i should be practical and pick up the, well, practical black bag so i did. i went home that day with the black gst. it sat in my closet for a few weeks new and unused as i drooled over the gold reissue and decided what to do. oh, what to do, what to do *fingers tapping.*

now you know what i finally decided to do. the black gst was cute, but i thought it looked similar to jumbolicious, my jumbo flap. besides, it didn’t take my breath away quite the same way that the gold reissue did. not too long afterwards, i called kazue and asked her to hold the gold reissue for me. i went back to scp to return the gst and to purchase this golden bag. done deal.

my “golden ticket” still sits in my closet looking as golden and as lovely as ever. since i have 5 weddings coming up, there will definitely be 5 occasions to bring this golden beauty out for a spin. watch out for this bag as it makes an appearance at a wedding near you. i know my tastes may not run along the same path as yours, but goodness gracious, we all know when we love something and boy do i love this bag so very much. it is my lucky golden bag indeed.

as i delude myself into thinking my chanel collection is complete with one caviar flap bag, a gold reissue (2 super signature pieces. must have classics in ANY chanel bagdrobe), and my chanel wallet…might i say that bagnatic will be on a hiatus from procuring more bags? for the moment anyways, since i still need money to fund my drug habit (j/k).

hahhaha…i was shopping at target with my friend “j” and i saw a lovely silver piggy bank. i told her i should buy it so i can put money in there for my chanel fund. ahahhaha…sad :)
stay tuned for more covetous bag posts, but no purchases UNLESS there's an awesome sale ;)
