loots of the trip!

i used to think it's hard to shop in europe given its strong currency.
but as i grow up and travel around more, i realised you can shop in almost all places.
the key is to buy their local brands.
yes, it may not be cheap per se. but it definitely beats getting these things in sg.
and so, with this in mind, i sourced out all the european brands to shop for this trip.
hiaks.

and so my humble loots (its really humble for ayu bought 30+ pieces of clothings from her last trip! :P) for the trip:
- 1 dress and 1 top from MNG
- 3 tops, 1 skirt from zara
- 1 top & 2 tights from H&M
- 2 tops from pull & bear
- 2 tops from local spanish brands
- handcream from L'occitane (how cliche!? heh)
- guide for prado museum
- posters for the house
- chocolates from brussels
- and many other small sourvenirs etc

but nothing beats shopping at champs elysees!
i wanted to get a LV wallet but the husband wont stop alternating between nagging and giving me his shocked face. bleh.
but so much cheaper than sg! how not to buy!?
so i decided to get a wristlet for my mummy dearest. sorta reward her for always helping us to take care of baby when we are away.
copycat hubbi decided to get something for the mother-in-law too and we settled for a coin pouch cum card holder thingy for her.
so happy to buy these even though not for me. heh.

and of cos! one of the highlights of the trip is my 2.55!
*wee*
isnt it a beauty!
but i think i cant get any more bags for a long time.
the husband bites! :(


cant wait to use it soon! :)

this is 2.55 classic. you are talking about the 2.55 reissue? that one has a rectangular buckle and its straps are all chains with no leather thru it.
