Done Packing and Done Shopping this summer in USA!!!

Now I am totally free to fly back to Taipei and Indonesia tomorrow. I have only one CL heels from Barney left to pick up after I get back.  Other than that, I don't think I'd regret missing any sales here in USA.


Finally I finished packing my shoes and I do bring one pair of sneakers and am going to find a great yoga instructor in Taiwan.... to continuing my journey of fighting the gravity!! ^^


A surprise!!

OMG! when did you get the reissue?! yes, your C collection is now definitely complete. i'm still yearning for it in GHW and have yet to find one. i'm actually hoping for a older version though and not brand new.

i'm excited that you've included dries van noten in your collection. i've always admired his prints and dresses (from browsing thru other fashion blogs) and i've actually scoured ebay for interesting pieces. the other day, i believe i saw one dress at the NM Last Call in milpitas, but it wasn't my size. i'm patiently waiting for my time for a Dries Van Noten dress or heels... :D

You definitely pack pretty light! I'm a giant fan of your YSL Tribute. Such a versatile color.

Enjoy your vacation R! My in laws are also in Indonesia now for 2 months vacation (MIL is Chinese from Indonesia). They are staying at Jakarta and Lombok....enjoy!

Congrats on your 2 new pairs of sale shoes.

I'm packing now for my Paris trip, but I only wear 1 pair of shoes and I want to bring empty luggage as much as possible! LOL!

Have a great summer!

Cheers,
Mia

hehe, amelie: in fact, I just bought some at Marina food supermarket. Those lychee are really juicy and sweet...almost have to watch that sugar hidden in those fruits when indulging them. :)

Thanks. I am sure I will make great use of the time in Taipei.

Hey, Betsy: that's the OLD style. This new shipment is actually the re-make of those OLD style. They do come in GHW and SHW and since it is this spring's new shipment, I am sure you will find GHW anywhere in Nordstrom@@!!!!!!! Call around, I know my sa has quite a few in stock.

hey, Mia: Bon Voyage!!

Yes, you don't need lots of shoes in Paris... well, in fact, I don't think I need that many shoes in Taiwan neither..but I guess I won't be buying for shoes, I better have enough for myself then. hehe... do enjoy yourself in ever corner in paris and took as many pictures as possible!!!

We are staying at Lake Toba for at least 5 days in Indonesia... family vacation w/ hubby's whole family and my parents are coming alone. We might need to charter a plane to fly there from Jakarta!!! ^^

I guess i will talk to you after you get back from Paris!!!

Rachel -- I meant that I want one 226 matte finish with GHW from the earlier years (earlier than 2008 if I get lucky)... so not really brand new. :D

What are you plans in Indonesia? Are you staying at a resort with family? Or are you just staying at inlaws home?

So, Betsy, you mean you want to get a vintage one? Renee has one from 2001 or 2002... :) I don't remember hers is Silver or gold HW...but she is lucky cause' it is only $2000 by then!!
