LV's Mon Monogram

LV lovers, start saving now!

I was at the nail salon yesterday for a pedi and mani and while reading Harper's Bazaar's Singapore March 08 issue, I chanced upon a short piece of absolute happy news re Louis Vuitton's monogram bags.

In May this year, I read, LV will be launching Mon Monogram (My Monogram), a service that enables LV bag-hags to personalise soft-sided bags, at the Ngee Ann City store of the French brand.

Customers can choose to personalise one of two bag styles (initially) -- the Speedy 30 or the Keepall 44 Bandouliere -- and decide on variations of vertical or diagonal stripes; initials (2 or 3) and 16 colours for the stripes for a total of 240 possible variations! 240!!!

The article went on to say that the personalised touches will be silk-screened directly onto the canvas before the the bag is stitched up and made at the Asnieres workshop (just outside Paris) of LV. Delivery time is 8 weeks!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. This is such good news it's baaaad! I.Must.Resist!

My 2007

I know, it's almost March and what the heck am I doing blogging about 2007?

Indulge me pls. I was putting a semblance of order to my work station today and saw this piece of paper that had my doodles and my wrap-up of 2007 that I had done one slow December working day.

I had been trolling the net then when I came across a Jessica Zafra column where she summarised her year by answering questions about the year slum-book style. Or something like that.

Anyway, I wrote down my own summary of my 2007 and this is how it is written on my piece of paper.

The Police in Singapore

Oh my God! I can hardly believe it! Guess who's dropping by this city after Santa Claus?

The Police! The Police is coming to town! If this is a dream, dont wake me up! (OA, I know)

Their gig at the Singapore Indoor Stadium will be on Feb 4 next year. Tickets, at S$98, $148, $200 and $400 (according to Life!), will start selling tomorrow.

Now excuse me while I go queue up at Sistic! I can't miss this, really. I gotta go.

White Christmas in S'pore

Took this pictures this weekend with the hubby. This is how Orchard Road has been decorated for the season this year. Familiar and comforting. Loves it!

Ahh, Christmas! For once, Time, pls don't rush by this month. I've been waiting for this since Jan 2!

A blessed Christmas to everyone! May your days be merry and bright. And may your Christmas be any colour you like!
