Bee-Boo-Bee-Boo

today we hiked up this holy site of Spain - Montserrat
*will further blog about this place another time*
my feet are screaming
think we walked a total of 12 hours today kekekekeke


but.....
what a beautiful sight
all the pain just went away 
:))))))))))))

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
