Carpisa – Made in Italy bags

Its still the last few days before the summer sale ends and I wanted to take advantage of this to buy some presents for my family. I was wondering what to get till I walked past a Carpisa shop. Its a clean-design looking shop but warm and inviting. And when you enter a Carpisa shop, you cant help to notice their green turtle mascot.

Looking around, I instantly knew that this would be lovely presents for my mum and my sister. While there are a few unfashionable looking things, mostly are a plentiful of stylish, wearable bags. But the prices were affordable, with many of them costing about 25 euro and above. And with the sale going on, all of the items were 50% off.

While as much as sometimes I doubt the genuinity of some “made in Italy” goods, Carpisa looks legit as there are so many branches and sold in many large shopping areas. Moreover the brand has been around for about 10 years so its reputable.

After much peering, and contemplating,I finally decided on a couple of bags and I think I’ll just show them here.

For myself, I chose this simple but elegant beige handbag with tan trimmings with a matching wallet to replace my old and fraying one. I like this design as it looked wearable enough for work but is still looks casual. And its roomy enough to put all my portable necessities. All I need now is a nice pair of tan shoes and I’ll have matching everything.

Because of the sale, I got both the wallet and bag at under 22 euro! There is also a pink as well as a green version of this bag. I think I would have liked the green one better I think. Too bad its sold out.

For my sister, I chose this fierce looking gold bag with faux snake trimmings. It looks stylish. If she doesn’t like it, I’ll take it back.

And for my mum, I chose this luxurious cream coloured leather bag which looks perfect for going to events. I think she’d love it. If she doesn’t, I’ll take it back too 😛

But I’m not going to post the prices for these two bags as they are going to be presents. Even though they are both individually more expensive than my bag, the last thing I would like, is that my sister and mum start to fight with things like “I am more special! My bag is more expensive than yours!“

Thank you for your birthday wishes!

Went to the polizia last night with Cart to give a statement from yesterday’s drama. I don’t think these two juvenile delinquents will be hitting the area any time soon. Unless they are really dumb.

Anyway! On to something happier.

It was my birthday on the 1st of August! So it was a good reason to dress up and look pretty! I put on my nice dress that I bought from Mango, fussed around with my hair, and put on some new mekap that I got from Pupa. Initially I wanted to wear my sexeh high heel shoes that made me as tall as Cartcart when I put it on. But then I got sick of walking so slowly like a geisha so I put on my lower heels.

My main aim was to make every person that I pass by faint with my sheer brilliance and beauty.

As much as I would LOVE to have a birthday where I am a lead singer/dancer with a group of bollywood backup dancers, singing on top of a train, like this. I’m clueless on how to make this happen. So instead of that, we were out most of the day and had a lovely dinner at one of our favourite restaurant.

It was a lovely day, even if it wasn’t really anything out of the ordinary. And I’d like to thank everyone who took the time to wish me happy birthday! A very important announcement is made at the end of the bideo, so do watch it!

Sidenote :

Woah! Lisa Simpson was supposed to be married on my birthday!

Someone tried to break in the house

Oh gosh! I’m still feeling a little stunned and in shock.

I was in the kitchen, starting to cook lunch when I heard some noise at the door. Thinking that it was the cleaner lady doing her weekly floor cleaning, I didn’t think much of it. Till I heard the door open. What? This is not right. So I went out of the kitchen and I saw two young men in their early 20’s with dirty blonde hair and light coloured eyes starting to come in. I was surprised. They were stunned too as they stared at me. I said, “Who are you?” And it was only a few seconds later that I realised that they were burglars!

So I screamed! “Rubare!” “Rubare!” I didn’t care if it was the right word for thief or not. All I cared was to scream. And I screamed very loudly. They quickly scampered away. I was tempted to run after them, but I felt more obliged to defend the house.

I should have at least thrown the egg that I was holding while I was making my lasagna. I feel a bit unsatisfied that I didn’t do more. But luckily I was home and stopped them before they started to steal anything!

Anyway I called Cart who was working and he called the polizia and both the police and Cart arrived shortly. They took our statements and we’ll be heading to the police headquarters later in the evening to give them more details.
