Bye Bye Bag Bag

After only 2 days of using my newly bought Dr Mart satchel, I had to say my goodbyes.

The edges where the shoulder strap came into contact with the opening flap started to peel. Several factors may be the cause of it:
1) the smooth leather coating wasn't durable (I've carried my Cambridge Satchel countless of times and it's still in pristine condition without any leather peeling)
2) the shoulder strap had stitches that were too thick and rough, causing the peel (the Cambridge Satchels do not have stitches on the shoulder straps)

Though I really really loved the satchel, I couldn't accept this defect. The leather would peel even further and it would become quite ugly.

Mr Yap took it back and asked for a refund. The staff at Dr Mart were more than happy to offer a one to one exchange but the shoulder straps will still have stitching, and if the leather coating quality remains the same, the problem will still happen. So we preferred the refund.

At least I had the pleasure of using it for 2 days. Good bye my lovely black Dr Mart Satchel... I will miss you!

HBD to Me!

Mr Yap shared with me that on our birthdays, the ones we should truly thank are the ones who gave life to us. So true. Thanks mum and dad for bringing me up!

Birthdays are not about how many prezzies you get, or how big a party you throw. It's all about the people who shaped you to becoming you.

Thanks for all the heartfelt messages from friends and family all around the world.

Big thanks to my colleagues for throwing the best work lunch party I've ever had!

And love and kisses to Mr Yap who dotes on me unconditionally.

But it's never too old to celebrate your birthday. And it's never too many when it comes to prezzies!

I now own a sexy yet sweet (if that's possible) corset top from Minoshe to seduce Mr Yap in.

Also, after the lovely dinner with Mr Yap, we took a walk around stores. I wanted to peek into my favourite toy store at Wheelock, hoping to find the Tokidoki barbie doll, but 'closed' was all I found.

But, blessing in disguise, we turned around and entered Dr Martens, and I came out with a lovely gift from Mr Yap! New arrival: an 11" full leather satchel with hair on! The workmanship is exquisite. And it comes with adjustable straps so that it can be a shoulder or sling bag!
