A Super Late Christmas Gift for Myself
2:20:00 PMChristmas is already over but I haven't bought anything for myself yet. Ever since I had kids, I tend to save my money to buy things they need instead of buying stuff for me. Not that I'm complaining or anything, I just realized that the last time I shopped for something a bit expensive was like 2-3 years ago. Actually, I've been using the same bags that I've bought last 2011. One is a huge turquoise shoulder bag and the other one is a Jansport backpack that are very much durable and old (5yrs).
Recently, I've been thinking of purchasing a new bag that's not too expensive, but is durable and looks really nice. I do a lot of window shopping and I got my eye on bags from CLN, Guess and XOXO. I just love shoulder bags that are quite big so that I can put all my paraphernalia inside but wouldn't look bulky. Plus, bags that I've seen on those brands look really stylish.
What's even better is that I can actually buy bags from my preferred brands at the comfort of my own home. My office mates have been loyal customers of Zalora since 2012 where in they've bought shoes, bags, clothes, etc. They all have positive feed backs so I decided to give it a try.
There are a lot of brands to choose from but what really got me excited were the bags from XOXO. I've been seeing this brand for so long but haven't tried buying from them once. Upon browsing the website, you will see that XOXO has a wide range of stylish bags that will surely make every outfit I own look fabulous.
Here are my choices:
Faded Leather Tote Bag - P 2,499.95 |
Jacquard Tote Bag - P 2,699.95 |
Jacquard Satchel Bag - P 2,699.95 |

Sounds like my mom wrote this blog post. Lol just kidding. I'm not expert but I would go for the first one. Simple yet elegant. Hope it helps. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI want the first bag!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll these bags are looking great.The first one looks reall nice and classy actually.By the way I don't think it's ever late when it comes to gift to yourself :)
ReplyDeleteJansport bags always very trustworthy. You can do anything to it, handle it anyways you want it will survive everything!!!
ReplyDeleteOf your 3 choices, the last one is my fav! :)
Its never too late to reward yourself with something you can afford it. I think the Faded Leather Tote Bag is more versatile and easy to mix & match with clothes.
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! I often also shop in Zalora online because the site has easy navigation and fast shipping services.
ReplyDeleteLove those bags, I'm a hoarder and online shopping scares me.

I can feel you. I almost think shopping is a thing of the past since I became a mom. LOL. Anyway, the first one is classy and elegant, but if I were to choose id buy the last one.

ReplyDeleteBeing a mom definitely makes you want to put all the things they need first before yourself. I tend to do the same. I think the last time I bought clothes was 2 years ago and the rest are just gifts. Zalora is a nice place to shop and it's safer than other online shops.
ReplyDeleteI remember my teammate before who really loves to buy bags. she'd be a good acquaintance of yours i believe. :)
ReplyDeleteI would say I like the first bag more. It's more classy than the other two bags.
ReplyDeleteI think the Satchel bag would be better as it looks good. It also looks more spacious and could double as a laptop bag.
ReplyDeleteZalora has so many awesome stuff! I wish I could buy all the things in my wishlist :D
ReplyDeleteI think the 2nd one is better it has got gud looks along with decent design

Faded Leather Tote Bag is my recommendation. Why? Haha I think it doesn't get dirty so easily. haha convenience. lol :)
ReplyDeleteThe Jacquard Satchel Bag would be a nice choice
ReplyDeleteThe Faded Leather Tote Bag is my choice, because it will also be my wife's choice. She does not like big brand names that call thieves attention to the bag. The color makes it more flexible for any outfit she has.
ReplyDeleteSomeone wanted to get me a bag. Then I realised that it wasn't easy finding that perfect bag that I want. Just like finding a perfect mate. :/
ReplyDeleteThe faded leather tote would be a choice. An easy style to dress up and down and a classic colour which will not go out of fashion. Enjoy your treat!
ReplyDeleteI loved the Satchel Bag. Something very stylish. And I am glad you finally decided to buy yourself a Christmas gift
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love the third bag. It looks so dang classy! I can already imagine it in your arms. :D
ReplyDeleteI think you will end up buying two bags. The first one for a more formal setting, the other one, either the second or third, for a more casual setting.
ReplyDeleteThe faded leather tote is pretty much a good choice because it is suitable for all occasions. Whether you wear jeans or even culottes would suit well with the bag´s texture.
ReplyDeleteWhich one did you buy? I go for big bag eh because I seem to bring lots of stuff in my bag.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was living in the UAE they had xoxo there in the RAK mall (ras al khaimah). It's a good quality brand I think and pretty!
ReplyDeleteHmmh Is there any other brand you can get :) coz for that prizes there are more better (reliable) bags you can choose from. (this is my opinion though) But is you're really decided then go for the first one :)
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me, my choice would be the last bag for it's shape and also I prefer monogrammed bag. Although a self design, subtle design would be better!
