Nancy Gonzalez has always been tossed around by fashion-philes. It is a name synonymous to luxurious and yet simple bags. Usually without hard embellishments, a Nancy Gonzalez carries itself with aplomb. The exotic skins used for the bags already make a statement. This Crocodile tote in coral is an amazing piece, it can easily survive trends, and will look good whatever the era you are in. Perfection is impossible in this world, but Nancy Gonzalez is already a little too close with this bag.

ZALORA

I was recently invited to the Grand Launch of Zalora PH, the first of its kind shopping website truly made for the discerning filipino virtual shopper, in Skye Lounge at Bonifacio High Street.

I honestly never expected to be invited to such an event, so I made it a point that I go. I mean, this could be a one time big time thing! 

It was my first time to go to Skye Lounge, and I had a little trouble finding the place. Luckily, W building (where Skye is) was easy to spot, mainly because of the huge W insignia.

I was a bit early for the 8PM launch, and I had time to pick a nice spot in Skye.

I was woozy after a bottle of wine! My alcohol tolerance is too low!

Food! I didn’t have dinner prior to the event, so I was too hungry! I was tempted to ask for rice! Hahaha!

Magsosorry ako sa ganda ng damit ni ate! Backless! Love it!

They projected our tweets onto the huge screen! There I am!

The place was jampacked with guests!

Of course, it’s not a grand launch without the internet’s hottest fashion bloggers gracing the event!

Here’s Laureen Uy!

Vern Enciso and Lissa Kahayon! It must have been 3 years since I last saw Lissa. I still remember her in the Summit Office during our internship there in college.

Skye Lounge is a place where you can chill with a glass of wine, or party with hard liquor! Check out their bar!

I super love this dress! It has that cape detail that I’ve always loved! It brings the outfit so much class and edge at the same time!

The three men behind Zalora! We know who to thank for bringing a whole new online shopping experience!

A mini fashion show to showcase some of Zalora’s brands.

Co-founder and Managing Director Paulo Campos urging us to party til the sun comes up!

I love that arm tattoo! I want one, but with a snake as the design!

This metallic Balenciaga caught my eye! Love!

A very chic Lady Dior is versatile enough for a party or a special dinner in an exclusive restaurant.

Here’s a very special lady who is a big contributor to my love for bags, Ms. Ingrid Chua - Go! Her blog, BAGHAGDIARIES, was the first blog I ever read, even before the others! I remember joining her contests and tweeting her. I cannot begin to explain how ecstatic I was when I saw her at the event! She even remembers me from Twitter! Ego boost ito!

Ugh gold Doc Martens! Super nice!

Sheer! It takes a certain panache to pull this off!

 

Givenchy!

Chanel! Love this bag! It’s so classic! 

Thank you so much to Zalora for inviting me (through Nuffnang, thanks to you Nuffnang as well!) I had so much fun!

I can’t wait to try out the site and order something! For all you people, go try out Zalora PH and get to experience a whole new online shopping experience!

I imagine a yacht party along the crystal waters of Boracay with this top handle from Charles and Keith. I’ve never let go of my love for this style, because of its versatility when carrying. While I prefer carrying it using the top handle, there are times that make me appreciate the convenience of the shoulder strap. The navy blue with the brown makes it a very classic looker too.

This Charles and Keith bag looks like a doppelganger of the Proenza Schouler PS1 carry all. This might be a bad thing to those who own a PS1, but a godsend for those who are looking for a much much much cheaper alternative. I’m still contemplating on getting this one, or wait for something with little bit more originality.

People say Python will always be luxurious, animal activists be damned. While I do love the feel and the look of exotic snake skin, I am an animal lover so faux will always be my number one choice. For those who like carrying the real thing, this Chloe Aurore bag is an amazing choice. The amazing color combination is both subtle and striking, making it the perfect accessory. Keep it safe with neutrals, or add a pop with brights.

Targeting this bag from Charles and Keith as my next purchase. It has this unconventional shape, and you can carry it in two ways. With the top handle, or with the straps like a backpack.

Simplicity should be treasured. We are almost always astounded by the bright, the large, and the shiny that we tend to ignore the classics. When things get to be too much to handle, a simple design devoid of anything gaudy is a breath of fresh air. This Intrecciato leather tote by Bottega Veneta can be revered to as a classic. The woven design makes it stand out, but not to the point that it screams, “Look at me!” Think of it as a girl next door, someone who simply walks by, and yet you can’t help but take a second look. I’m targeting to get a simple bag like this for my next piece. Something that’s simple and yet commands subtle attention.
