Design(er) Diagram - Part 4

This has been fun and I'm contemplating of making this same picture format on my future posts! Though it's just a lot of work and it might remind me of work... so we'll see!!

Design(er) Diagram - Part 3

Design(er) Diagram - Part 1

If I apply the same concept I do at work on this blog, my posts would look like this:




I do a lot of diagrams and arrows and smart arts for my work documents and presentations, so I figured, why not for my blog?

Please stop by everyday to see more design(er) diagrams here for the next couple of days!

A Shopaholic's Letter to the President

Dear Mr. President,

You will be pleased to know that I am doing my part in propelling this ailing economy of ours with a purchase that, at the same time, provides an essential nutrient for my sanity: a healthy dose of vitaMinn G.

vitaMinn G - Gucci flats from The Forum Shoppes at Caesar's in Las Vegas



...love the interlocking G's! It's like these shoes were custom-made to bear my initial! :p

I ask nothing in return for this act of responsible citizenship. But if you must insist, a shopper's credit does not seem like a bad idea at all. I promise that any such refund will be invested back in the retail economy for some other important nutrients I lack:

vitaMinn C - Chanel jumbo in any buttery color!

Birkin Scare

Friends, this is how to effectively lobby for a shopping budget...

Me: Hon, can I buy a new bag?
Hubz: Sure.
Me: I want a Birkin.
Hubz: I thought you want a bag?
Me: Birkin is an Hermes bag!

Hubz: How much is it? $1,000?
Me: Maybe for the key chain.
Hubz: HuWhat?!?! $4,000??
Me: No....
Hubz: $10,000??
Me: Hmmm, yeh... I think I could get a decent one for $10,000.

Looking at me with a penetrating look as if I just committed a deadly sin...

Hubz: Can you just get a Prada instead?
Me: Ahihihi, I just did!

Hubz looking so relieved!!

...Am I sly or what?!?!! ;p

-- NOT a Birkin: Prada Vit. Daino in deep red (it looks too red here but it's actually almost burgundy)---

And because I did him a favor for not buying a horrendously expensive bag, I got away with two new pairs of shoes as well!

-- Louboutin Picador slingbacks ---

-- Gucci suede pumps ---

I even think if I really push my luck harder, I could still get one more purse! Please help me decide:

Purse Survey
	Balenciaga Giant Brief
	Chloe Paraty
	YSL Muse
	Lady Dior
	SAVE it and buy an ounce of gold instead!

PS - I know I have been away for too long and I still cannot exactly figure out what happened to me but I was so close to shutting this blog down. It just seemed that blogging lost all its fun all of a sudden. Everything felt like a chore: posing, posting, commenting. I guess I just needed a healthy doze of vitaMinn S (S for shopping!) to keep me going again.

Who knows when I'm going to have another of this random bouts of blogging indifference . Maybe once or twice more before winter is over. But for now, I'm back! =)

Thank you so much dear Martina for all the encouragement!!
