Kate Spade New York’s ‘Mandy’

05.31.2014 by Leah // 3 Comments

I was surprised with yet another gift ‘bag’, this time from my Tita Violy who lives in the US.  She gifted me with this signature ‘Cedar Street – Mandy’ shoulder bag from Kate Spade New York, in beautiful ivory color called ‘Clock Tower’.

The bag is made of Italian Saffiano calf leather, also known as Prada’s signature leather.

I never imagined myself to be owning a Kate Spade bag, knowing how expensive it is.  So this bag is really, really dear to me.

A closer look at the bag’s very clean details:

The Mandy bag is very lightweight.  The adjustable shoulder strap gives it the flexibility to be carried as a shoulder bag or cross-body bag.  Its interior capacity may be small but can already pack a small purse, my Lenovo K900 phone, a pack of wet wipes, house keys and a folded reusable bag in case of an unscheduled stop at the grocery.

But since the bag’s color is light, I’m a bit worried about it getting pen marks, greases and spots that may be difficult to remove.

That aside, I love everything about my Mandy bag.  The style, structure and leather are all about classiness and I couldn’t be more happier to have it as part of my bag collection.

Thank you again, Tita Violy!  You made my bag wish come true!

    You’re so lucky! 🙂

    And thank you for the information about Saffiano calf leather, I have bag that carries the same leather. and I’m totally clueless about it. 🙂 Prada levels pala ang meaning nun haha

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
