Happy New Year and I wish everyone a blessed 2009. I would like to share some memorable moments I had in Japan as 2008 drew to a close. (Alright, so there were a lot more food moments than bag moments!)

I have an obsession for beautiful leather and an obsession for something Bottega recently. The Limited Edition Large Cabat is a piece of beauty.

The Kelly Pochette in Beige Everswift with gold hardware. VB wears it with her Herve Legers. I’ll use it to chic-up my weekend jeans and vest combi. This is a precious find. Hermes boutiques here do not stock or display. Have 2 of these babies for sale. The other is a black box calf. Who needs a Birkin [...]
