I didn't manage to get myself to BV's seasonal sales until Saturday and hence, many items have already been sold out.

I attempted squeezing my feet into shoes 1 size too small...... attempted sliding around in shoes 1 size too big....... and finally gave up.

they had some small leather goods, but they are all light coloured. pale coloured wallets and my grubby hands don't mix. with my usage, an aurora wallet will turn dirty much too soon.

however... it was one of those days when i just didn't want to leave empty handed, so i bought something small.

reveal to follow....... will go download/upload the pics.

you're teasing us!!!

cufflinks for my DH. it's totally handmade

(credit to msPiggy for first spotting these elegant and unique cufflinks from bottega for her DH)

Bad point: I have to add that when i was taking the pics, i noticed a flaw on one side of one of them. I've already called BV and will bring the cufflinks back tomorrow and exchange for another pair. (i'm glad that i decided to take pictures of the cufflinks. otherwise, i might not have noticed the flaw as it's quite small. and once used, they won't do an exchange)

so if anyone else buys these, do check carefully when purchasing.

jeshika, no teasing intended! just took some time to transfer and upload the pics.

i wanted to make sure that it was a super quick reveal. i'll save the teasing for when i'm unveiling a purchase for myself, not a "consolation purchase" for the DH....

for example when the FW08 bags hit our shores.

LOL!

Fab choice for the DH! H ties and BV cuff links work well together

uclaboi · Jun 22nd, 2008, 03:58 PM

I like those! You should get the tie clip, too! I got the tie clip a month ago. I will post the pic later.

uclaboi · Jun 22nd, 2008, 04:32 PM

Sorry for the bad quality pic...

Everlong · Jun 22nd, 2008, 07:14 PM

exquisite mrsDIY88 and uclaboi !

mrsDIY88 · Jun 22nd, 2008, 07:19 PM

uclaboi, nice tieclip!

doloresmia, it's on full retail price, not on sale at all. i forgot to mention that i was so hung up on buying SOMETHING, ANYTHING from BV that i bought these cufflinks at full price. the men's items on sale were 2 non-black coloured wallets and a few pairs of shoes. nothing suitable

msP, H ties + BV cufflinks, that IS the plan.

doloresmia · Jun 22nd, 2008, 10:16 PM

hilarious, nice to know i am not the only one that gets hung up on buying something/anything from BV!!!!

love UCLABOI's tie clip
