COACHella

here is a coach bag. you can get one almost anywhere now. coach stores, department stores, online. but please don't get THIS particular bag. it's a quilted mesh mash of ugliness. but if you do, i don't know you:

this is COACHella...not a bag and way cooler. you can only get this at indio, california (the armpit of the golden state). it was hot, stanky, but important to me.....

because i got to see the yeah yeah yeahs perform. ow! because the new album is pretty fresh. because karen o is an amazing performer. because i've been a long time fan....here's karen on the jumbotron since we got there pretty late and booked ass to a mob of sweaty men. we squeezed to the middle as oppose to the front. i had a huge behemoth of a dude slick with sweat to my back. it was worse when i sometimes felt his prickly arm hairs brush my arms when we got jostled.

and this is a bag o' weed. it is mandatory for you to smoke it up at coachella. i'm not a fan of the ganja, but i stank like i did. it is pretty common to smell it everywhere when you are at these types of venues. i especially love it when they smoke right next to you and you get it blown into your face. yes, second hand pot smoke kills as well. bastard.

i also saw ass...literally. look, i know you're going to think this is a fat girl's rant about skinny chicks, but it is not. i know the weather is hot. i know your body is tight. i know this...you make it obvious because you prance around wearing absolutely NOTHING. i can respect that you are proud of your body and you may get a free drink or two from it....but PULEASE stop your whoreish dancing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. instead of enjoying the cure, i had to look at your stupid jiggly butt. you suck. wear some pants damnit!

i also saw a fire snake...did you think bbq too?! some overall cool things displayed there and some neato dresses for sale. good visuals at coachella minus the overt nakedness you see running about.

coachella was most definitely better than a coach bag.

doggy bag

getting charlie meant an excuse to get a whole slew of accessories...not. but it led me to think, if i can pamper my foul smelling cracky poo puppy with something that's not food or toy related, what would i get...BAM, a BAG of course. how about a dog carrier bag so he can ride in style?

jessica simpson likes to rock her doggy in a louis vuitton:

seriously, i never understood why people buy designer gear for their dogs. is it for you? or for the dog? does the dog even care that he's sporting a l.v. tag or a coach collar. no. do you care? probably yes. well, some have said that dogs are just another type of accessory....

now, i'm not ghetto enough to put my puppy in one of these when i need to transport him:

so i think i'll just stick to doing this:

even though this bag is pretty cute:

merging my food love and my puppy love. ahhhh....

how about a piece of bag?

vakay. ahhh...it has graced my presence once again. typically, i'm working like a fiend during my vaykay time, but once in a while, other folks want to work like a fiend as well so i'm out of a job during my 6 weeks break. not a bad thing i guess since the last time i had too much free time on my hands, i got into yelp, bought my wee house, and now am a puppy mommy. dang i'm productive! life works out that way too, i suppose when what i should really do is catch my breath and breathe deeply when i'm suppose to. even if that means turnig into a sloth with an increase in pants size.

let's celebrate bagnatic's vaykay with a purse cake! i saw this while i was at diamond bakery in monterey park. it actually doesn't look delicious at all...perhaps it would be more scrumptious with double c's on it as oppose to this convict tag. it also looks like a granny version of the louis vuitton speedy style. who wants to eat?!

charmed i'm sure

if you are one of those lucky gals who has a beau or two for valentines, then LISTEN UP. coyly show this chanel valentines bag to your man and if he loves you, he will buy it for you :) kidding...not.

this bag definitely falls in the "young cute" look. not something i would recommend a 30 something to rock, but cute nevertheless. pretty color, cute charms, but definitely a trendy one. i can see it snagging on your clothes and it's a bit too small being that this particular bag is in the "east west" style. it probably holds a small wallet, keys, and a thin cell phone comfortably. also, carry it gingerly please lest you want your expensive double c charms to fall off.

purty. perfect for valentines eh?!

a few seasons ago, chanel had another valentines bag as well. this is the MUCH COVETED valentines chain bag because of the heart links that replaced the leather woven chain links. it commands a crazy ass bag price on ebay for all the bagwhores out there. are you in love with it?

is this chain drool worthy?

the year of the ox or the year of the ban?

$65 and counting.....

2009, the year of the ox. ahhh....ox. when i think of ox, i think of ox tail...yum.

this year though, when i think of ox, i think of "appreciating bags from afar." "look, but don't buy." and the ever loud thought, "covet but don't own." the year of the ox for bagnatic means $65 in lai si money but also a few $$$ short for another chanel or bottega bag. will i be able to restrain the ever addicted bagwhore in me and acknowledge the hard economic times that we find ourselves in? perhaps. or perhaps not.

nothing but fine boot-ay here!

every winter, i longingly look at the hot boots that most chicks strut about in. you know who you are! i like looking at the scrunchy ones, the long and leathery ones, the boots with the laces, the boots that zip all the way up, or the ones with the buckles. black, brown, flats, or heels, you know i'm visually molesting every one of yous! i particularly love it when the boots are showcased uninterrupted with tights or tucked into jeans. it's cute and totally cold weather appropriate. it also gives you an opportunity to expand your look for the season, even though you'll look like every other boot wearing chick during winter. who cares right?

so every winter, i go to the shoe section of various department stores to try a few pairs on, hoping to find THE RIGHT PAIR to kick off my winter wardrobe. i generally start off feeling pretty excited because everything looks so good hanging on the racks, but after trying the first two pairs, i finally realize that my legs are more like these:

elephant legs. yup, elephant legs. they are not as dry or crackly, but my legs are short and thick. damn you genetics!

alas, boot buying has never been successful for me. it's actually quite embarassing and frustrating sitting on those chairs, trying to squeeze my thick calves into obviously small leg openings. it feels even worse when you see your skin flap spillith over or the zipper stopping midway through the zip. i have YET to find a pair....until last weekend that is. whoo hoo!

lookey at my new boots! i wanted black, flat boots and found them! i chanced upon them at aldo and snatched them up quick. i think they look cute but i also think i overpaid for them. but it's like finding water after you've stumbled through death valley ready to die from thirst. all i could think of was, I FINALLY FOUND BOOTS THAT FIT!! anyways, i wore them out once already and totally love them.

nothing like wearing pjs and using a dirty mirror to make the photo shoot a good one.

finally!! the weaving is mine!

i think i've drooled about bottega veneta bags for quite a while now. since december 2007 to be exact. there's something seriously delicious when you touch one. so soft and buttery....and the weaving is simply divine. after visiting bottega veneta boutiques off and on for the past year and/or catching myself molesting the bags as i generally find myself doing when i come across one, i took the plunge and veered off the chanel-only-path and bought myself a bottega veneta ferro sloane! the color is a dark shimmering grey and the leather is absolutely delicious. the weaving allows for a variation of shimmering tones and visual texture so "grey" is not simply "grey." there is a darkness and lightness to it depending on the weaving and the way light hits it. it even has a suede interior!! holy shit! with time, the bag will slouch a bit to form to my body. i'm expecting quite an excellent hobo look. ahhh, it is a GORGEOUS bag indeed. i definitely see another bottega bag in my future....far future since i'm clearly smitten by this leather. the ferro sloane is 100% well made, scrumptious, and dearly loved as much as my chanels (oh gawd i sound like a freak).

the sloane has been put to use numerous times now. i think it would be a shame not to. it's been in hibernation due to the rain, but the gorgeous grey will be ready to use once the weather warms up a bit. i loves it a lot!

obligatory ass shot.
