Super duper adorable Bratty Boo Canvas Bag!!

Isn't it just the sweetest thing ever? 

And a lovely card too :)

This bag measures a whopping 12"x12"x8" and is totally gigantic!! It can be used as a travel bag as it can fit practically anything and everything. This is also currently my biggest bag :D

A close up on Bratty Boo. Gotta love her attitude. 

100% made with eco-friendly recycled cotton, this bag also comes with 2 handles, long and short.

With long handles.

With short handles.

Here you can see both handles. 

There's also a 9"x8.5" large interior pocket to allow you to put keys, phone etc inside. I particular like how this bag comes with a removable hard plastic insert at the bottom to help keep the bag shape, and also making the bag very sturdy. 

Back view of bag. Love the cute Boo logo ^^

This beautiful eco canvas bag is a gift from my friend Betty and her cuddly little frenchie Siouxsie a.k.a. Boo.

Isn't Boo just adorable to bits? 

And these were what Betty sent me earlier:

Santa Boo christmas card (Way too cute ^^), Boo stickers and magnet.

So if you're reading this Betty, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH~ I LOVE IT HEAPSS~!! It's so super sweet of you :D

You can also check out her website here. There are many other designs other than Bratty Boo and also 3 different types of bags to choose from.

Bebe Boo is too adorable with her pacifier ^^ Too bad Angel Boo and Santa Boo bags are not available, I'm sure they will be a big hit too just like the other designs. I want them all~!!! 

Also check out the reviews of Boo Bags of Jen From Head To Toe and Tamara from Cherry Colors.

So if you see anyone carrying this huge gorgeous Bratty Boo bag, it might just be me :p

Perhaps for next year's christmas Boo can be Red Riding Hood instead :p

I love dress-up Boo!!

Don't you?

Personally I have never tried Crabtree & Evelyn items before, but have heard many raves about its hand creams. I'm actually quite interested in several of its Rosewater, Summer Hill, and Lily of the Valley products, to add to that the packaging are super gorgeous!

The price is on the steep side though, will be a hugeeeee hole in my pocket if I really caved in and bought them~

Photos I got from ebay:

Reminds me of my Cath Kidston bag.

Kitty with the various floral print ^^

Hmmmm..

Should I pamper myself?

Will you?

Handbag Hooker and Jill Stuart Cafe Bag x SWEET

Got this gorgeous looking handbag hook some time ago as a mother's day gift to my mum <3 Occasionally, she brings it around with her when attending weddings and functions. But most of the time, it just stays in the poor old cupboard. So rather than just letting it sit around and collecting dust, I figured I could put it to better use~ and that is by posting photos of it with various bags/totes that I have xD

Details of handbag hook. The 'diamonds' inside are actually fixed, so only the star is slightly movable. 

The heart shape of this handbag hook reminds me of the heart on my jill stuart cafe bag. So I took my bag out for a comparison. Aren't they just sweet. ^^

This jill stuart cafe bag was actually the first magazine gift with purchase (gwp) that aroused my curiosity about magazine gwps, and my collection just expand from there. I actually had to hunt this particular bag down from the internet as by the time I know about it, the magazine that it came with (SWEET april 2010) was already all sold out. 

My jill stuart cafe bag hanging on my sweet handbag hook.

Hook is quite durable, not sure about the exact amount of weight that it can hold though. So far I've only tried 2-3kg of stuff (that's how heavy my bags normally are lol), and it works fine. 

Bag measures 18 x 24 x 7 cm

Quite small so can only hand carry.

Bag is made of polyester and feels like towel material. Doesn't seem to be too water resistant either. Also seems prone to get dirty easily. 

This bag is actually quite flimsy and has no padding inside, thus you can't carry too heavy an item while bringing this bag out. Stitching near the handles are also poorly made, feels like they might fall off anytime.

However, despite all the downsides, I still do not regret my decision to buy this bag. Cause it is really cute~!! And it matches with almost any outfit. Need I say more? ^^

Currently , there is only one Jill Stuart Cafe in Japan which is located at Daimaru department store in Shinsaibashi, Osaka. Photos of their uber cuter jill stuart cafe tote bags below!! **Disclaimer: Photos below are not mine. Credits to en.item.rakuten.com and nekodot.jp**

Seeing all those photos just made me lust after a Jill Stuart Cafe Tote Bag even more~!!

What about you? Are you tempted too?

SingPost x Hello Kitty Sanrio

I'm not really a die-hard fan of Sanrio, but seriously who can resist little devil Kuromi, cutie pie My Melody, and mouthless Hello Kitty all add up together in a large envelope laptop case?!?!

Not me~ I have a thing for envelope stuff.

I figured I could always use another laptop case. Ahem **Excuses**

Which is why I went ahead and got this:

Measures 36 x 28 cm, a bit tight and hard to put in, but still fits my 13inch laptop snugglingly. My lappie has finally found its home. **HUGS** so comfy and soft to hug too. 

Isn't it just adorable?? It was totally just shouting "Bring me home. Bring me home. " (Maybe I should get a doctor instead, I can hear voices lol)

Anyways, this exclusive collaboration is made in celebration of Sanrio's 50th anniversary between the Singapore Post and Sanrio, therefore it is only available locally.

Photos of leaflet.

They also had a stamp collection which I didn't get cause I'm not into stamps. But they sure look cute!!

More photos of my laptop case:

The huge stamp is just adorable ^^ Haha airmail. To where??

Didn't expect the laptop case to be really shaped like an envelope!! Thought it would be zips like most others. That was a bonus. 

But the velcro wasn't as secured as I thought. Keep having the feeling that my laptop might drop out if I didn't hold it with the envelope facing upwards. Only thing I didn't like about :(

The padding inside. Didn't quite like it initially. But I think it's getting to me now.

You can also check out the official press release here.

I got mine at Singapore Airport Terminal 3 Post Office, think was the second last one.

So Sanrio lovers in Singapore, hurry and go grab yours if you haven't got one yet.
