Yesterday, I got a tweet from Lacoste that the bag that I want is currently on sale at Lord & Taylor. Since no one can buy me the bag as my relatives in the US are completely useless (hahaha just kidding), I bought it myself last night!

Eastwood City has an on-going sale until Sunday, August 16. I was supposed to leave at around 4PM so that I can have enough time goofing around Eastwood to look on what’s in-store for me but to my surprise, I woke up late! Thinking that the roads will be free from unnecessary motorists, I was not worried that much and go on with my normal routine. But when I reached the far end of Katipunan, tunnel going to Libis, cars were not moving! Gawd! I was in the cab at the fly over for around 30 effin minutes!

Anyhow, I still managed to check out the mall amidst of the traffic. I headed directly to Lacoste, and as usual they don’t have sale on new items. Why am I not surprise!? They were on sale since early part of July so the items on the sale section are already left off from the mid year sale.

I checked the accessories first and saw the bag that I am drooling for since I bought my blue one in Hongkong. Trying to kill the excitement (as I kill my privilege to spend any merchandise till after September), I headed to the clothing section and scan the racks even if I know that they don’t have anything for my size (I already bought all of ‘em). The attendant called my attention and spread all the colors of the City Casual Vertical Shoulder bag that they have on the table (I totally forgot that I’ve asked for all the colors so that I could check it myself since I’m trying not to follow the urge of buying one). And that changes everything last night.

I end up carrying my bag and a Lacoste paper bag…

Oh I hate going to Sale, as I still end up buying regular items!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

When I was at the Eastwood branch of Lacoste last time, I noticed that their video presentation is all about the Fall/Winter collection of Lacoste. As soon as I reached my station in the office, I right away googled the collection but it’s nowhere to be found. And after few weeks of waiting, Lacoste Fall/Winter 2009-2010 is finally out!

To all of you who personally knows me, Lacoste is actually a brand that I can’t live without. It’s so classic and so fun!

The F/W collection this year showcase a lot of color. If last year they seem to focus on grey shades, black and orange, this year is quite different especially with the Lacoste! Red Collection. Normally, the website doesn’t show the entire collection apparel. You’ve just noticed that a certain shirt belongs to this collection if you check out the stores.

Here are my favorites!

(more…)

My office friends and I are planning to attend Tita Cory’s wake in La Salle Greenhills Gymnasium but for some reasons, maybe due to heavy rain this morning, I didn’t get any text from them.

Last Saturday night, I was making notes of the things I have to do during my rest days. I told myself that I will be spending a QT with myself on Sunday and work on Monday. And as soon as I left the comfort of my workstation, I headed right away to the North and took a shower and went to TriNoma.

My initial plan is just to buy a shirt and watch Harry Potter. Staying home for two weeks was no fun. I missed a lot of movies, good foods and good buys.

Before I head to Lacoste Apparel section, I checked out Chasseurs and found out that they have the new Silver and Gold Edition of Lacoste Europa Tourelle. I tried to shift my attention to the Red! Collection section but the shiny gold and silver lining makes me peek every few minutes. I decided to leave the store as I was just killing myself with all those shoes.

Before heading to the Lacoste Apparel store, I went to Nokia as my E71 is calling for a new case. The store attendant is not that friendly as she smirk when I asked if they have E71 casing. I told her I want to see it and as she handed it over to me, I said, “I’ll get it. How would you like to be paid, cash or card?” You’re messing with the wrong guy, girl. You wanted some sales, then you should be friendly with you customers! Ang aga aga, nagmamaganda ka.

After grabbing my goods, I walked down to Lacoste without even looking at the nearby stores. But as I’ve entered the store, nothing caught my attention. Classics works for me (all the time) but they don’t have the colors I wanted on my size. Gawd! I need to go on a diet!

I don’t want to watch a movie empty handed of some crocodile skin so I went back to Chasseurs grab this!

Those Limited editions are so… Limited! They carry one stock for each size and luckily, they have my size! I just can’t resist the color white and the Tourelle Logo!

I officially announced I’m broke!
