I went overboard with Valentino after my mum got better (a 50% drop in the cancer tumor marker is a BIG victory). So I decided that I HAVE TO go on an austerity drive, for the sake of my wallet.
So I was wailing over facebook with my friend three in the morning how I have to give up the bag I was eying at eBay. And my friend bought the bag for me for my birthday! Silence....my birthday is 8 months away! I was really, really touched by this gift. I have known my friend for so many years and went through life's up and down so this bag not only represent a very expensive birthday present, but also a testament to the beauty of our friendship. It gives a nice buzz whenever I look at the bag. It is besides the point whether this is an expensive Valentino bag or a $5 bag but this bag reminds me of my friend's silent support for me for so many years. My friend told me that she would be watching my spending from now on and with such a friend like that, I am sure my austerity drive would be a success. Since we always go shopping with me and is always at my place - she would do surprise checks on me and make me account for any new purchases
I would also like to thank LabelLove81 and mga13 for authenticating the bag and for putting the wallet in the Valentino's steal and deal thread.
This is a pic of the bag with my Valentino wallet although it is of a different shade (without flash)
