OMG!! i can't believe louis vuitton made this??!!! for $2400 you can be tres stylish carrying your badminton racket and birdies around haha

any nyc restaurant recommendations?? babbo and shake shack are definitely on the list. we're looking for a place for brunch on sunday, another nice-ish dinner place, lunch places and any other recommendations you may have!

and for those on the east coast, julian and i will be there may 4-7th. so if you want to meet up let me know! we'll be there for a wedding which is on sat the 5th in rhineback, so we'll probably be gone most of that day.

does this look too weird?


it's a pretty good price, probably because it's not fully woven...

bag lusts

so i've limited myself to two handbags a year, so i have to make it count, here are some bags i like, if only i could afford them all

i looove this chanel bag, this picture does not do it justice at all. i tried it on at the boutique and it's such a pretty color, it's like a pearly white. i already have a large white bag so they would be too similiar


i really like this purple color, but i'm not sure if it would work too well with my wardrobe, but a pretty bag nonetheless


i wasn't really a fan of woven leather, but it's really starting to grow on me. the leather is incredibly soft and i'm liking the taupe-y greyish color


this chanel is THE classic bag, but i always thought the quilting was very matronly, and still do think that to a certain extent. it's a little too puffy for my tastes, but the red color is TDF !!!


i'm not usually a louis vuitton fan, but here's a new style and new epi color which i think is super cute, i would definitely consider this one if i didn't already have a white bag. it also comes in black or red, but i don't like them as much


ok, last one, i think most of you know that i looove lace A LOT. so when i heard LV was coming out with a new line with lace on their monogram canvas, i thought it would be really pretty, but not so much. they also made the handles REALLY dark so it looks really gross. you have the choice of gold or silver lace, this one is gold

updates

man, we all suck at updating our blogs, but here's an entry for ya all, it will be kind of disjointed, just some random thoughts since it is 3am

why am i still awake? i dunno, i get these random bouts of insomnia and sleep very late a few nights out of the month. i end up watching tv or browsing the web, and here i am updating my blog!

last saturday i went snowboarding in tahoe, it was sooo hot! i think the season is going to be pretty much over soon unless we suddenly get some more rain. i don't know how likely that is cause it's been in the low 80s in SJ the past two days. i'm loving the warmer weather, time to break out the open toed shoes already!

and you know that burger chain islands that's all over LA? well there's one in folsom and 2 others in the sacramento area now! we stopped there for dinner and had good burgers and shakes (ok i was the only one that got a shake).

and does anyone else think having daylight savings so early is so weird?!! well now at least when i walk tofu at 6pm it's still light outside. we see so many people at the park now, which is kind of weird because when it was dark at 6pm, there was no one!

to address comments from previous posts: michael mina was good, but a little pricey. I think it was $99 for 3 courses(and the stuff that we chose had additional supplements!). My tuna tartare was good but the portion was very huge. If I had gotten half I would have been content, but since there was so much I felt like I had to eat it all and I got kind of sick of it. For my entree I had the lobster pot pie which was sooo good. I liked it a lot. And I got the chocolate trio dessert and that was very yummy as well. i've kind of forgotten what julian ordered, hmm. he ordered the carrot cake for dessert i remember that. it was ok, it had raisins which i'm not usually a fan of. oh ok, i think i remember now. he had a soup appetizer which i think he really enjoyed. and some beef trio dish. anyhoo, it was an enjoyable dinner and we were stuffed. oh and the amuse bouche was very good, a lobster trio

the ballet afterwards was very lovely, but i don't think julian really enjoyed it that much. we almost missed the beginning because we had issues finding parking, but luckily the combo of starting a teench late and running, allowed us to make it right in the nick of time!

i'm trying to keep myself to a strict shopping budget, hopefully it will work, budgets aren't really my thing but really should stop buying too much stuff. i've tried to avoid visiting the shopping sites and deleting emails in my inbox without reading them which helps. it seems the best way is to remove all temptation because my willpower is weak hehe

ok getting sleepy now, off to bed
