Yep, you got it. I have returned my second Coach handbag purchase after 3 days of receiving it. Don't get me wrong, the color was really pretty, the size is really good and its soft and I am really loving it but the reviews at the forum regarding patent leathers were not good and so I got scared that it might turn into one of those horrifying stories. Thus, the return of plum patent tote!
Sigh** my heart ached as soon as I stepped in into their Easton boutique. But JJ was there for me supporting how sad I'd feel for letting it go. In fact, right before we left the house we had an agreement that I can only look at displays but I should refrain myself from being tempted of getting a replacement, in short I better be a good girl or else I'd get a spanking from him :p
When we got there, there was no questioning or whatsoever but I was asked if I wanted to look around?? And I just smiled and looked down, I knew I'd be tempted and then JJ stepped in, he told the SA we will return it for now but we would look around and if there is anything I like we will think it over and come back the next day. Good reasoning/ errr good excuse??? LOL!
So days went by and my birthday is approaching. I felt anxious that I don't have a new purse for my birthday. I don't know if I can already call it a tradion but I've been used to getting purses on special occasions for many years now. Although deep inside, I am hoping that JJ will get me a purse even a wristlet will do so I waited with an agony.

On one of our trips to Easton, days before the 4th we stopped by at the apple store and JJ got me a replacement to my iPod classic which is his birthday gift.
I got the (Product) Red iPod Nano 3G. I am happy and excited about it and as soon as we got home he synchronized my new nano to our music library at iTunes and voila, I got the teeny winee iPod, working sweet! Now, I can use my Motorola stereo blue tooth headphone with iPod adapter, he got it for me from last years birthday and it hasn't really been used that much.
So what did we do on my very birthday day? July 4th is America's birthday and so most families gather for party, having fun, enjoying a good meal and what else! That same day, its hard to get a good restaurant for dinner. Its been a struggle for us ever since I got here 4 years ago. Most of them are closed! So this time we outsmarted them, lol, instead of dinner we went for lunch! Even then, the first two restaurants that we attempted were closed the whole day! What a bummer, so we went to Polaris Mall and found Brio Tuscan Grill was opened so off we go.
After a sumptuous lunch, JJ asked me where else I would wanna be and added that he would take me anywhere I wanted to go because its my big day so I blurted "prime outlet mall"! Although, that was already on my mind for days! I did a little shopping spree at the Correlle store. I bought some additional serving plates and miscellaneous stuff.
Then, off to the Coach store, again??? At first, I was rea
lly just planning on getting collars for my fuzzies. Yay, to designer dogie collars, wohooo!!! Star and Twinkle, got leather collars but my poor boy won't be getting anything on this trip, there is none that would fit him. There were a lot of people up there, lots of purses on sale from 15% to 60%. I told myself, If I ever get a purse, It has to be a little more or less than a $100 (let's call it self-control).
I spent a few rounds checking at their displays until I saw this tiny signature top handle pouch. I looked around for a different color and learned from one of the SA's that was the only 1 at the store. So I hold on to it and decided it was worth keeping. Yay, I am inlove again. It was just perfect for a quick trip to a movie, dinner, grocery shoppin' or doing a little errands. I also got a scarf to help the black color pop out a little bit. I also grabbed a purple butterfly cellphone lanyard which is very cute. This trip's motif was purple and I am rockin' it! WOhhhoooo!!!! Happy birthday to ME!!!!
