The Pursuit of a Designer bag

Hey, it's been a while.

... and hey, please don't judge me! I know this is supposed to me my journey to financial freedom, but also about life :)

I am still a middle-aged woman, wishing to have at least 1 designer bag.

However, I didn't know that it is like the tag line of Pringles - "once you pop, you cannot stop!"  i hope not!

Though, inside my head, i have the tendency to be like that.

When i started investing, believe me, every single chance, you can see me reading all financial blogs or watching videos of "Pesos and Sense" from Episode 1 to 13.

Since then, i started from VUL of Sunlife, Stock market, Mutual Funds, UITF, and all including "alkansya" system and recently, buying lands from our province.

This is why, i feel like i deserve something nice. So tiring to keep on saving.... I have enough of an emergency fund. I didn't even touch my annual bonus and soon i will be receiving my airfare money. So, i decided to buy something that I've been lusting for a while...

Finally !!!

LV Speedy 30 Bandoulier in Damier Ebene

original packaging

personalized initial, yaay!

I would like to document everything starting from LV store until unboxing but as always, i feel ashamed to take a picture:) obviously a first time LV owner.

On the side note, i asked my husband first before buying this purse. He actually encouraged me to buy while i can. Besides, i have enough fund to buy and nothing to compromise. My husband is the sweetest! He just bought me an iphone 6 recently and i don't want him to spend again on me this year.

Back to the bag, ohhh, i am just excited to talk about it.. This is my first Louis Vuitton bag. But this is not my first designer bag because last year I bought a Fendi Tote bag - supposed to be LV Neverful but I changed my mind because it has no zipper and bought Fendi instead - Fendi Zucca Tote Medium Bag.

Actually, i've been researching for a while before finally decided to get the Speedy 30 Bandoulier in Damier Ebene. According to purse forum blogs, you have to plan your purchase of designer bags in order to avoid duplicate or unnecessary purchase, unless of course you have unlimited budget for a splurge.







For me, since i already have a nice Tote bag, i would like something that has a multiple use - for office, semi-formal gathering, travel, casual... Also, i want something that is classic and easy to maintain. Therefore, speedy 30B is the perfect choice for me.

However, i am getting worried that it is becoming an expensive habit... I don't care about purses before. I am more of a shoes' and clothes' person. But now, it seems like an addiction. Though, seems i am still normal because i only have one big purchase every year and take note IN CASH. Nothing less, nothing more.

As of now, I am so happy and contented with my Speedy B, however again wishing to check Balenciaga city soon.. maybe... hehehe 

We'll see then. If i have a bucket list for my future, i also have a wish list for my rewards.

I always thank God for giving me so much blessings more than i deserved. God is good.
