Hi guys! :):) Today is a gorgeous day outside and even though I'm not outside, it's just really good to just have a day off and relax. I always look towards Fridays, im SO glad I get Fridays off. Last semester, I had Wednesday off, and that was like boring. Long weekend ftw! :D
I was meant to do an August Haul post but I realised that I babble on way too much and you'd spend forever reading this post! So I'm splitting up the haul into their items which therefore means I will have NO EXCUSE in NOT blogging hehe.
First off, definitely my new handbag. I've wanted this handbag after I saw a friend's. She had a better version that me though, cos it had the Hermes logo on it haha. But I just wanted a replica with the same shape and style, so I went ahead, did my research. It's a replica of the Herme's Birkin bag which Victoria Beckham has like a bajillion different colours of. And other celebs too.
Anyway, if you google up "Hermes Birkin Celebrity" thers about a bajillion colours and they're seriously just the thing to spice up a plain outfit. Nothing like a gorgeous colour popping bag :)
I was originally gonna get this light greyish brown one, but I decided against it and I just got classic black with gold detailing. The Hermes bag comes in different sizes. I chose the 35cm one. Perfect size! Not too small, not too big. I like my bags like that. I hate small bags cos I can't fit all my stuff.
The bag cost me just under $30 on ebay :D I bought mine
here.
If you wanna get a real legitimate Hermes Birkin bag, it will cost you about ... somewhere around $7000 to $50,000 LOL.
So..... I think I'll stick to a replica thank you very much. $30 is plenty. HAHA
The key to open the lock is hidden underneath this cover thing. You have to slide it out to find it. It took me forever I figure that out when I first opened it cos I was like, UMMMM THEY FORGOT TO GIVE ME KEY? HOW DO I OPEN THE BAG iaushiudhawiueaishdg
The bag is an actual bitch to open if you close it all up with the lock and everything. You have to undo the lock in order to lift the middle flap. You'll understand if you have the bag or if you decide to get the bag haha. So I just undo everything, take the flaps out, put the lock back in place, put the side belt in place and leave the flap hanging. Still looks good.
Or you could tuck the flaps inside the bag like this. Looks pretty too :)
Inside is quite roomy. Just what I like. Theres a zip compartment and just a normal pocket too. It also fits an A4 book perfectly!
The material is a sturdy material. I don't feel like its going to rip on me at any point. However if there was a downfall that I had to point out, it's that the bag is quite heavy by itself. So if you put a lot of heavy stuff into it, your arm would kinda get tired. Cos it's not the type of bag where you put on your shoulder. It's actually a HAND bag. LOL.
But overall I love this handbag :D It definitely makes my outfit look a lot more sophisticated :)
Sorry for crappy photo LOL.
It's the weeeeeeeeekend! Have a fab one! X
