Use it or Lose it!

Hey y'all...

It's me... Elly... yeah, the co-owner of this blog. Won't hold it against you if you forgot all about moi considering I last blogged waaaaaaaaayyyy back in April. *buries head in shame*

So... you may have noticed that my YSL Besace literally turned into a toad, as updated by Malin. However, I'm happy to report I spent a good two hours yesterday returning the Besace to its former glory. The results were spectacular and you wouldn't at all have known it was afflicted by a bad case of mould. I'll share what I did in another post. Promise.

Not only had I to endure the pain of watching one of my "babies" falling sick like that, but I just had to be constantly reminded by the Husband that "I'd better use it OR lose it...". Rotating handbags on a weekly basis clearly doesn't work in our climate, so what is a bagaholic to do? Care to share your tips?

Most of my bags have a high probability of getting mouldy, unused, there is however one bag that is is aired on a weekly basis, every single weekend.

Introducing MBMJ's Natasha Petal to the Metal. I loveeee mine to bits, which is I dare say practically stylish albeit being a sombre black? The metal bits bring out the rock chick in me. Ehem.



You can wear it on your shoulder or cross-bodied. Careful. You might get lost in its multitude of zipped compartments, but you OCD anal retentives out there would just love to remain organized that way, right? Oh wait. That's me :)

I purchased mine from Reebonz, Singapore. They only had black back then, not sure now. A quick look over at Net-a-Porter reveals other colours. Love, love, love the one in plum. Alas, a new bag would mean that my other bags would be more susceptible to mould. Argh!

Love you guys. To a blessed new year and many, many more bags to come!
