Wishwishwished: Rainbow Clutch

Update: Tiz gone =(

Supposed to be studying for exams right now but talking about clutches, I cannotcannotcannot NOT talk about this clutch from Just Bag It which I've wanted since oh, only about forever! Each day, for a few moments, I anxiously, almost fearfully, search the page for that awful word SOLD and, with relief, cast a longing eye upon this rainbow beauty before saying farewell, but not goodbye, til the morrow arrives again.

Unlike the single-coloured clutch mentioned before, this one can instantly perk up an outfit without having to worry about a matching palette. It doesn't come as a sling/shoulder/wristlet/clutch, but I imagine it can help crank my creative juices up for some DIY fun. Although it won't be the best choice for a formal dinner, it has just the space I need: "A clutch that is spacious enough to fit your belongings such as a your cellphone, purse, small make up purse, shades, digicam and a little bit more!"

Since this Dorothy Perkins clutch had come into the possession of a housemate and blogshopper-in-arms, I've taken it as a sign that it is high time I got myself one. I've always believed that in anything, go for broke or not at all. This loud bold clutch calls me by name!

I'll get you, my pretty, you can't elude me forever. Soon you will, you shall be mine.

Wishwishwished: Rainbow Clutch RM35

Wished: The Lulu Clutch

I had wanted one since I discovered the sling/shoulder/clutch-in-one concept. I probably will have no use for it considering how unladylike I am, but I still want one =P Spotted one in electric blue, going for RM35, but I've forgotten the blogshop. At RM2 more, this one from se.xx.y holds larger and comes with a wristlet hoop. The clean design means it can easily match attires casual and formal alike. Also means I can customize it as I like *chuckles with greedy delight* And means I can take the lazybum's way to change my look.

However, while I love the bright colours, my wardrobe palette may not. And, while I hardly carry make up, I'm one of those "just in case" people, so there must be enough space for wallet, fone, keys, digital camera, extra batteries, tissue, pocket mirror, and lip gloss. Now, I'm not so sure =/

The Common Thing

The common thing between all our clothes, versatility.

In their first collection for 2009, se.xx.y sure has lived up to that claim. It was their presentation that convinced me to leave a mention here. I noticed this first piece because they came up with not one, not two, not even three ways to wear a simple dress, but four! Now I appreciate blogshops' attempts to be creative in their suggestions but many times, the clothing as well as photos just end up looking unnatural =/

While neither flashy nor fancy, se.xx.y has managed to present their simple pieces in different ways without coming across as trying too hard. In doing so, they can persuade shoppers, or me at least, to invest in not only in a garment but in different looks. I personally love the fourth idea =P It helps that this item come in colours both bright and classic. It's no surprise, then, that three of the five pieces have already been snapped up within a day.

Their ingenuity with a similar top only served to further win me over. Did you guess that I love the third idea best? =P Bring a halter fanatic, I have to admit, twisting two layers together for a new design had never even occurred to me. Kudos! This time, all eight yummy colours are already taken. I rest my case.

YOUTH'09

Update: Decided to go on Sunday instead as we'll be able to catch more things we're interested in then. Plan to stay from 2pm-8pm and my very first stop? Bazaar la! =P

I will be there this weekend! Already got my priority pass too! ^_^ Probably Saturday as to make the most of it in one go. The boyf will be going for the Battle of the Bands, the open mic sessions and acoustic stage; a friend will be going for the 8TV Casting Call; another friend is probably in for the Cosplay Competition and the gaming fun. Been trying to get yet another talented friend to join the Expression Photography Contest but no luck yet =/ As for myself, I am looking forward to checking out the parkour performance but most of all the Youth Designer Festival especially, of course, the Creative Mafia. So there will be quite a bit of things to review when I get back *excited*

I know, I know, I'm probably not going to be able to catch it all in one day. But it's exams for The Pauper and she does not have her own transport =( This will be my first time attending this sort of event. I had wanted very much to go for Urbanscapes and I did make it for UOX Play. But this festival certainly seems to exceed both in scale and feel. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to meeting some of the blogshop owners, or seeing them at least. I know I'll be too shy to say hi >_>

Items on The Pauper's shopping list:
1. A top as a birthday present for mom :]
2. A necklace or charmbracelet for a girlfriend who shares mom's birthday Decided to customize at Chatterbeads
3. Bags, because all of mine are shot to hell -_-
4. New clothes for CNY, I've been saving my shopping for this =P
5. Shoes to go with above CNY clothing =P
