Eye candy & desires

Had a short getaway at Penang last weekend and it was great! It definitely feels awesome to have a break and recharge. However the effects of it was a long week at work. It sure felt long enough, and I am rejoicing at the prospect of having 2 entire days to myself.

Being the shallow and superficial youth I am, I ventured to educate myself on shopping culture during my time at Penang *wink* I am pretty good at telling luxury bags apart now, and armed with that knowledge, the lure of these designer goods are so strong I can barely resist. I am basking in my superficial tendencies and am enjoying every bit of it. Whilst others are out there doing deeds like volunteering, chasing fitness goals (the bane of my existence), networking their way up the career ladder, getting their feet deep in their new startup, here I am lusting after bags and shoes.

This, to me is contentment. It is a luxury itself and the simple pleasure delights me to no end.

Eye candy coming up! I don’t know how long will I be able to resist these items!


The Kate Spade bag I’ve been lusting after. It costs around RM1140. I’m not sure if I can cough out that kind of money for a tiny bag, but it’s so gorgeous! I love the two tone finish and the strap that transforms it into a cross-body bag. 1 bag, 2 uses. Love that idea!


Pointy Keds in navy blue! I think that they look absolutely chic and would suit any casual occasion. I can already picture them with my outfits. However I can’t seem to find this particular design in any store around Malaysia. What a bummer.


I already have this, so by right it shouldn’t be on this list, but whatever! I adore my Carlo Rino to bits!!! Love the beautiful cat design and colour! It is so gorgeous and feminine. The quality is a far cry from the cheap bags I’ve pledged loyalty to for as long as I can recall (those poor student days and now a small bud trying to establish my career). This is by far the best birthday gift I have ever received! My boyfriend gave it to me and I’m totally obsessed about this bag. It was a surprise gift and I was super super touched to get it since I’ve fallen head over heels in love with it upon first sight.


Way out of bounds, but it stole my heart. The Omega De Ville Prestige Butterfly Watch that costs as much as an entry level car. I am quite a huge fan of butterflies, and this is the ultimate embodiment of butterflies, design and amazing craft.


The Simpsons and Chuck Taylor hi tops. This is not really my usual style but I think it’s fab. It would go great with denim, wouldn’t it? Again, mentally drawing up pictures of outfits paired with these shoes. Wanted to get it in Penang but was sold out in my size. I have zero shoe luck.

I should save the Prada and Miu Miu for next time. By the time I can afford it I’d be in my 30s, and frankly speaking I’m not sure if by that time these superficial materialistic desires in me will still be as insatiable as it is now. Perhaps I’ll be off chasing more thought provoking topics like the meaning of life or delving into the study of religion in a feeble attempt to seek forgiveness for the sins I’ll have committed in my 20s.

Sweet 20s where we don’t have to give a damn about consequences.

  1. I'm totally digging those pointy keds in blue. They'd go with every outfit so well, its going to be real hard to find shoes similar to this.
