Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians. It is a nice break in the middle of a work week.

Last July 1st I decided to start a 30 day challenge. I would not purchase a new bag for the whole month (actually 31 days). Well this year I am not taking a challenge. I have found it quite difficult to find a bag that I really like. I purchased a bag to take on my trip and then I bought two bags on vacation - the Harrods and Longchamp bags. I don't really count the bag that I bought at the dollar store.

My most recent purchase purchse was a Lisa Simpson Nintendo DS Lite Console Case for my Nintendo DS. It was only $4.99 at EB Games.


Today I received an email from Shopbop. Take an extra 25% off all Sale items for two days only. Enter code EXTRA25 at checkout.

I was also excited to read that they have extended the international shipping promotion. All orders to Canada ship for free. This offer ends July 31, 2009 at 11:59PM PDT.


Summer might be over before I find the bag that I want.

Jet Lag

I am back home from my vacation in London and Paris. I wish I were still on vacation. The only good thing about returning home from vacation is sleeping in my own bed. If I had a few more days, I could see more sights and do some major shopping. My body is here in Toronto, but my mind is six hours ahead.

I did not shop as much as I thought I would. There was no extra room in my suitcase or carry-on. I need to learn to travel light. I was on a mission in both cities to buy specific bags.

In London I wanted the green vinyl Harrods bag. That is all. It cost 17.95 (Pounds)

In Paris I wanted to get a Longchamp bag. I wanted it since the last time I was in Paris. I went to the department store Printemps the day before I left Paris. I bought the bag in pink. It is still wrapped up nicely in tissue. It cost (58.00 Euros)

It is the bag of choice for many women that I saw in Paris.
