I've been waiting for you.

shirt. mens. jeans. UO. shoes. zoom. bag. miu miu.
miu miu madness.

I promise you I thought this bag was either sailing the high seas. shipwrecked on a deserted island or eaten by sharks. Pick one of the 3. I had ordered it EONS ago, and to be honest almost forgot about it. There were major postal issues, and after five months of waiting... it arrived. In one glorious piece.
I was off to write a final JUST before it arrived. So this is me - pre-exam. I therefore fumbled to get organized, quickly stashed my pens and exam necessities in the plethora of zippers adorning its 3 major entrances and took off with my new friend. I think it will be a good relationship.

It's truly like butter.The softness and color.I am in love.
Although my dream fund for my "affair-purse" is hot on its heels...
I may have a slight bag addiction...

this bag is so flawless that it hurts. i seriously need it. i've never successfully saved up for a really great purse, but since we live halfway across the world from each other, i might just have to completely copy you. it really is perfect!

FIVE MONTHS?!?!!?!
you need to SUE!
but I see it was worth it.
I know what you mean about the buttery softness...mmm... I have a few bags like that.

Ok I think I've finally figured out that you and off-outfit days just don't happen...EVER! It's a good thing you have a blog recording all the looks you put together, because if you didn't, you'd totally be depriving the world of extreme fashion goodness!

I love the chic simplicity, t-shirt and form fitting jeans look, just like what a model (oops, banned word # 1) would wear for Polaroids. It’s easy to throw on everything in one’s closet, but sometimes it is so much more inspiring (yeah, forbidden word # 2… once you told me NOT to use them, they just got THAT much more tempting :P haha)

Oh and the bag is lush, love the color against the black especially! :)

Did your exam go well? I hope so! :)

And never ending kindness? Using one of my friends favorite words (in which I'm not really sure it IS a word): Psh! I could say the same about you! :)

Really thank God for the blogging world, or else I never may have met you, and even though then I wouldn't have known what I was missing... I would have been missing out on a LOT, because you are one of the loveliest, most inspiring (I know, I know... not supposed to say "inspiring" am? Will try to find an equal alternate in the thesaurus! :P) most generous, most thoughtful, most compasionate people I have met! Really mean that :)

Anyway, must go, but I hope all your exams have been going well! :)

xoxo,
S-C

Eeli said...

You know what! I'm gonna pick shipwrecked on a deserted island BECAUSE of a shark attack when sailing through the high seas. Haha :P


5 months is FAR too long. I think i would fire an angry email complaining for sure! Or cancel the purchase but maybe not the latter since that bag does look fabulous.

NP about the words and you're so welcome. I just felt it needed to be said and everything came from my heart :)

As for the outfit it looks fabulous. You can never go wrong with monochrome :P

The Stylish Wanderer said...

the Oracle of Style said...

Gorgeous outfit! You have so LONG legs^^

Rebecca, A Clothes Horse said...

That bag is stunning. Detail shots will have to come in the future--if your lover isn't too shy. I'm glad it finally got to you, I would probably have forgotten it in that amount of time...
P.S. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment. You always do seem to have a fascinating assortment of people around you.

MDS* said...

Oh Lisa, I love this bag! I'm thinking seriously in buying a symilar one. Once my baby is born it will be more comfortable for me to carry bags with long straps, you know?
Thank you for your sweets comments but yes, I'm pregnant and my belly is growing more and more everyday. I will have by baby in 3 months and a half! The belly is still very cute because it is not width (for the moment) and you can only notice it when you see me from the side, then itis really really big!!!
Well, it's a little bit difficult to explain this in english, hope you will understand me!

Eeli said...

Ah, psh stop flattering. Its too much! I think all these compliments are getting to my head and you're all giving me this false sense of security haha. Nevertheless i think you have a very beautiful soul, one that is very kind and thoughtful.

Thankyou :)

sierra said...

oh.my.god.
that bag is amazing..
i would wait for forever if it meant i was going to hold it!

leeselooks said...

***THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS LOVELIES. I never know how to thank you for all the sweetness. Please know that I never take it for granted and i try to respond to all comments. I feel so extremely blessed...thank you***

AH yes. the joys of shipping to Africa. It was miscommunication...coupled with customs. so it was a hassle and I seriously thought it was lost at sea. I've had things get lost before... BUT it arrived and i am in total love. ;)***

FASHION CHALET said...

Thank you, love. Aw. Actually they run a tad big, I should have ordered them in a size smaller, which is why I roll the waist. Bu t they are definitely comfortable (the shorts) thanks for the comments on my hair! ;)

PS: gREAT CHOICE on the HEADER! :)

Really, I think you are the biggest sweetheart and I mean it! You must be the nicest person I've met online. Hehe. You always give the most meaningful and nicest comments which I really really appreciate. Whenever I see your name I know that there will be a comment that'll make me smile :D You're wonderful in all ways <3
It'd be great to meet each other! My sisters husband is actually from S Africa, near cape town, so maybe someday in the future, hehe, I'll come spend my vacation down there. Then we'd have to meet hihi :)

<3

Five month? Holy... wow
IT does look stunning and worth the wait :)

gracey said...

Great bag. Absoluutely love it. Am still hesitant on ordering things online after a few bad experiences. I have things that I ordered and paid foor in 2006 that I never got and there was no way I could reverse the transactions afetr more than three months of waiting for the products to arrive.

María said...

5 months?!! I bet it worths it, but wow that's a long time.

{Tara} said...

Congrats on finally getting the bag -- it is so lovely, and will go with EVERYTHING!
