It's all about the "Jours"

du Jour is french of "of the day"
du Jours is "of the daysssss"
so when Fendi created the 2jours structured handbag....it's really the bag of the day. Made from high quality calfskin with a name tag which u can customised in enamel. The one in the color Ecstasy Pink really got me high in ecstasy.

Next comes the one in blush pink. I was turning it round and round looking for a slight hint of pink...it's more of a blush beige to me.

but then.........the Saint Laurent Sac du Jour Cruise 2014 new colors have arrived!!!! I saw them personally last weekend...and was.....goo-goo-gaa-gaa over them


*pics stolen from purseblog*

arghhh....it's so pretty!!!!!
too darn pretty!!!! WHY WHY WHY?????


Fendi 2Jours or Saint Laurent Sac du Jour
T_T
dun tell me both, I can only afford one right now

The leather on Saint Laurent is prone to scratches while Fendi is more hardy
Saint Laurent weighs a lorry bcoz of the inlay leathers and Fendi weighs about a van too. Both are heavy even before my stuffs are in!!!
but Saint Laurent is so structured and beautiful!!! Fendi too!!!
*pulls hair*

Just tough decision now....how how how?
T.T
JS will say go buy wines, at least both of us can enjoy....a bag??? errrr......

Object of Desire 0019: Yves Saint Laurent Tribute Sandals

 

the ever beautiful ICONIC, evergreen, classic pair of Tribute Sandal by YSL

I'm confused with the usage of the brand now...it used to be YSL or Yves Saint Laurent...and ever since that the designer Monsieur Laurent passed away in 2008...a major revamp was done for the brand...now it's known as Saint Laurent. I would still prefer to refer this brand as Yves Saint Laurent....one of my favourite legendary designer
*apart from Karl Lagerfeld, he was in Singapore last month and I was in Paris...else I would have flown down Singapore to see the Legend in flesh*

PR jobs aside...I think this pair of heels is so stunning
:))))))))))))))))



every season, there's new colors, new materials
u'll bound to find YOUR color somehow
but what if all of its colors really suits u?
yeah I think there's no such thing as one single color one dimension for anyone. Though I am sure everyone has their favourite color, but why stick to one when u can have many? I love colors :)))))


I can't think of any celebrities that don't own a pair
sigh!!!!!!!


it's so wearable be it casual or on the red carpet
u can pair it with dresses, jeans and even shorts!!!!

lurve how Bootylicious Beyonce wears her Bright Yellow YSL Tribute
:))))))))))))

yes I must have one now :)))))))))))
Fuchsia is my favourite color but fuchsia heels isn't so everyday
I know, some of u may wanna whack my silly monkey head and say that YSL Tribute isn't everyday honey?? wake up!!!!

I lurve all my heels in patent leather
well if u gonna step on it, u better make sure it's easy to clean too :))))))))
oh yea, Monkey bought 4 pairs of patent leather heels in Paris. Yes Yes Yes I know, I will post OK!!!!

Notice that the older version of inner sole has got a zig-zag design around its logo???
Now under the stewardship of Creative Director Hedi Slimane, everything has gone minimalistic...seriously very very minimalistic, sometimes u don't even find the Iconic golden "Y" clasp on its bags anymore :"((

Red is so so so sexay!!!
I will own her someday....one day...but not today nor this week or this month yet but.....I just saw a pair selling at 30% off in Changi Airport!!!!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Come to your sense now.......u won't die without a pair of heels.
but u will die without air if u gonna continue to hold your breath staring at this stunning pair!!!
hahahhahahahahahahahahaHappy Friday Folks!!!

Yves Saint Laurent's office

We were busy shopping on the famous strip in Paris
jumpin from brands to brands we actually entered into YSL's Office :P


yeah when u r so intoxicated with retail therapy
u dun really know if u r goin into the boutique or apartment or office


Once at the reception, 3 beautiful french lady greeted me
all of them in chic YSL suits *what else!!!!*
lips painted with the signature YSL RED
hair tied in neat chignons
wearing YSL black patented pumps shoes


I then only realised, these 3 beautiful TALL ladies were the receptionists of YSL House
O_O.....receptionists?!?!?!!??!!?
wow.....u ladies hiring??? I make quite good coffee :D:D:D
well I didn't say that of coz


realising we were inside YSL House *wooohoooo wat an accidental privilege*
we acted stupid and asked: "This is not a boutique????" followed by eyes wide wide opened kekekekekeke


they were so helpful and gave me a YSL postcard with all the boutique addresses in Paris
and even showed me on the map 
*though we already know it at the back of our hands*


then I caught a glimpse of another good looking despatch boy pushing the clothes rack
full of YSL pret a porter into the workshop
ooooo these could be the future collection!!!!


this is also the very same building where chief designer Stefano Pilati works his magic
*Yves Saint Laurent the man died in 2008*

pic stolen from Photog JingNa's site

that glass door with the YSL logo on the right

was an automated glass door which I used

coz the wooden one was obviously not working

for security purpose, u need to punch in passwords to get into the wooden doors

so u can't really blame me for invading this office

it's just too good looking to be an office/workshop etc

I think it's a must-do *visiting the original maison/house* if u appreciate fashion

it's like how JS visits all his fav winemakers

the very same building/apartment where it all started......

:))))))))))))))

My turn.....

tee hee hee it is now my turn to open all my pressies
I mean my purchases :P
opening bags purchase is a RITUAL for Ms. Monkey


whenever u r in Paris, Rue Cambon lot number 31 is a MUST VISIT
coz that's the only Chanel store where u get a white paperbag instead of the BLACK
and it was the apartment of Madam Coco Chanel
what a legendary address :)))))))))

the white Camellia flower - Mdm Coco Chanel's favourite flower
which inspired her hence it was used in most of her designs

told ya opening every purchase is a ritual
by this time, JS kinda got used to my weird habits :P kekekekeke

 more Camellia flowers~~~~~~

the famous interlocking C's
bearing the initial of Coco Chanel

I lurve this color
It's black indoor and is actually blue under sunlight!!!!

with 3 gigantic compartments for all my gadgets
and stuffs a lady could carry these days

since I lurve it so much like a possessed woman at the Chanel boutique,
JS decided to buy it for Monkey
hehhehehehehehe

next is a small purchase
which was not a necessity but bcoz it came available in all the XMAS colors
and it was darn cheap!!!!!

this was a pressie for my dearie iPhone 4s which we got in London
merry christmas iphone!!!!
hmmmm I dun have a name for the phone yet

Yves Saint Laurent
another legendary name in Paris

the small Chyc shoulder bag adapted from the classic one
I've been eyeing this baby a few years ago until they designed a smaller petite version

yea small bag for a petite frame like me :D

I wanted RED but it is only available in this yummy green color for the Cruise collection

Monkey: "Do u have it in RED? Rouge??? u know it's for xmas"

S.A.: "I ohn-lee harf dis color Madamoiselle. ONLY ONE piece.....One boutique one piece!!! only one."

guess that was the magic word..

but I really do lurve this color more and more!!!!

then sensing my needs, the clever S.A. added

"U like RED? I harf some-ting red, jessst ah-rrived today, also only ONE PIECE!!!"

gawd how many bags that u got in single piece???

-_-"

Oh My Gawd!!!!!
they now have smaller Chyc Cabas
the standard size is just too big for me but this version is absolutely .......*speechless*


I just went aaahhhh.....ohhhhh....over it....
:)))))))))))))))))
then JS said he'll get the red one while I buy the green one


JS: "how come the green one so small and still same price as the red one?"
Monkey: "Good things come in small packages u know" *smirks*

my favourite color :)))))))))
when the Cruise collection hit the stores
I went around asking for specific bags and specific colors
coz not all boutiques carry ALL the sizes of bags


"I want it in SHOCK color not Orchid not Amethyst" *it's the name of the bag color*
S.A.: "Wow.... do u work in Bottega?"
"errr no...I just lurve the brand....hehehehehe."

that was Week 1
the following weeks, both of us had to suppressed the urge to shop
coz there ain't any room to store em
*books, kitchen stuffs, peripherals, gadgets, collectibles, food, decorative items, limited edition items, wines....*
looks like we have to leave some stuffs behind huh?


and I haven't even go to factory outlets yet *scheduled next week*
think have to cancel this plan
-_-
