o I returned the Modern Vintage shoes.
I just thought long and hard about it and I knew that I would totally wreck those shoes this winter. I'm really careless when it comes to shoes so I decided to return them for the Rebecca Minkoff Cupid Satchel. I was debating between the Morning After Bag and the Cupid, but in the end I settled for the Cupid. I just liked how the long strap was adjustable so I can wear it different ways. The Morning After Bag also had a long strap, but it was shorter and unadjustable. I could wear it over-the-shoulders, but not cross body. I tend to like cross body bags because they allow me to be hands-free. I had mentioned that the Cupid and MAB was on sale at Holt Renfrew so that's why I also wanted to get them. The Cupid was on sale for $389 and the MAB for $399. Originally they were $565 and $575 respectively. They only had the Cupid in teal (shown above) and the MAB in a muted orange. They also had the MAB in taupe and a dusk purple, but they were not on sale. I had called Holt Renfrew to see if they still had the teal Cupid and the SA said they did. I didn't think to ask her to put it aside as I made my way down to the store. When I got there the teal was gone! I started panicking and the SA told me that another customer was looking at the teal Cupid at that exact moment. The other customer was debating between the teal Cupid and the teal Classics 3-Zip Rocker Crossbody Clutch. The SA seemed to think that the other customer would get the smaller bag so she told me to sit tight and wait about 10 minutes. Those 10 minutes were like eternity. Luckily (and after a long, gruesome 20 minutes) the customer settled on the smaller purse and I got my Cupid! I present to you my new Rebecca Minkoff Cupid.

Isn't she a beauty? The colour is so vibrant and the leather is soooooo soft. As I was paying for the bag,
another customer asked my SA what purse I was purchasing and who it was by. The SA said it was the
last bag and the customer even went so far as to ask me if I was really going to purchase it.
Damn right I am! |

| Here is the back. |
 |
| The zipper pocket has a leather flap over it so that it is hidden. |
 |
And here is the inside lining. I think they are sparrow prints? It reminds me of Marc Jacobs' purses.
Apparently she changes the lining each season. My dust bag (not shown) is also in this print. |
 |
| The inside pocket had this authenticity card. |
 |
And here is the back of the card. There was also another card, but for some reason my purse didn't come
with one. I guess it fell out at one point? Basically it was a white card with a phone number and
a note saying, "Call me". |

| Here I am sporting the purse with the short handles. |

BTW, I'm wearing my new Luxy Hair Extensions in the colour #1C. I'm the first customer to get
the #1C. I ordered the #2, but I got sent the colour #4. Luckily, since I live in the same city as the
Luxy sisters, Mimi sent her husband to my house to give me the correct order. How sweet of them,
right? I was going to get the #2, but then he said they were trying out a new colour (#1C) and he said
it would match my hair colour perfectly. And he was right! |

Here's a close-up. I got these extensions because I got a horrible haircut 2 weekends ago.
I'm still not happy with the hair cut because they didn't thin it out at the ends so it looks like 1
blunt cut. I still have to get that fixed so that my natural hair blends in better with my Luxy
Extensions. |
 |
I'm going to try to do a Luxy Hair Extensions review in a future post, but I'm really loving it. It's
so soft! |
he Luxy Hair Extensions I bought last week was to wear to a wedding that I attended this Saturday. It's super long! I still have to play around with the hair as I'm still not used to it. I also need to learn how to curl it properly so that it doesn't look so stringy.
