Frida Is Sold Out

April 28, 2009


Frida  Convertible satchel to clutch Sac   $150.00

I went to Shoppers Drug Mart this morning and the bags that were in the glass case were gone. I panicked. I walked around in circles trying to find the bag. There were other bags that were hanging from chairs in the beauty boutique, but my bag was missing. A salesperson asked if she could help me. I described the bag to her. She said that the bag was sold last week. I was heart broken.  I thought about buying the Nintendo DS, but I decided to think about it for a while. 

                              Current Points Balance: 78,630

Congratulations you have reached the highest reward level!

Suede vs. Nintendo DS

April 26, 2009

Now that I have reached 75,000 points required to get up to $150 off at Shoppers Drug Mart I cannot decide whether I want to get the Suede bag or a Nintendo DS. I have not touched the Suede bag yet. It is behind a glass case and did not want to be tempted. Lately, I have been playing a lot of games on my iPod Touch. The Nintendo DS would be great for travelling long distances.

I think the only reason I want to get the Suede bag is that I still have not purchased a new bag yet and it is almost the end of April. I will make my decision by the end of the month. I will either have a new bag or the Nintendo DS. Either way I will be happy to say to the cashier, “I will be redeeming my Shoppers Optimum Points for this purchase.”

Coach Canada Invitation Only Sale

April 25, 2009


I think my invitation has been lost in the mail.

Coach Canada is having a 25% off sale from May 1 to 10, 2009 at all Coach stores in Canada to celebrate Mother’s Day. In order to get the discount you would have received an invitation card which was only sent to select customers that spent over a certain amount. I do not know what that amount is. Obviously I did not spend enough. When I purchased my Coach bag in December, I bought it at Holt Renfrew.

In my opinion anyone who has bought an item should get a discount considering all the drama involved when you make a purchase. I know they have my address.

To rub salt into my wounds, I noticed someone on the subway this afternoon with a LARGE Coach shopping bag.

Longchamp Paris

April 19, 2009

French brand offering handbags, travel bags, luggage, wallets, briefcases, small leather goods and fashion accessories.

LE PLIAGE

I remember seeing this bag in either the Galeries Lafayette or Le Printemps in Paris. The name Longchamp sounded familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen the name before. It must have been a magazine ad. I recently saw someone on the subway with the bag. I am determined to get one on my next trip to Paris. So much to see and do in Paris and so little time.

You can also create your own Le Pliage bag online and have it delivered.

  1. Select the Le Pliage model
  2. Select the length of the handles
  3. Select 2 colours of the finishing of your metallic accessories
  4. Select embossing or embroidery

The square shaped bags use the same print design as real it bags such as LÉGENDE and the COSMOS bag.

LÉGENDE

Inspired by old doctors bags
