I've never been a bag person. Sure, I absolutely love shoes but with bags, I just make sure I have one in basic colors, black, white, and brown. Bags just doesn't excite me like what shoes do. Maybe because bags are more expensive than shoes. Hahaha!
For a number of weeks now, I've been obsessing on these bags Cambridge Satchels and the Mulberry Alexa. I've been seeing these cuties on quite a number of fashion websites and magazines and I've been dying to get myself one. Good thing we have a local distributor for Cambridge Satchel in the country but it's just too bad it cost more than five grand depending on its size. For a cheapskate like me, I just can't get myself to spend that amount on a bag. How many packs of disposable diaper and infants milk would I be able to buy for Php5000? Yes, that's the practical mommy in me thinking!
I read on one blog (I forgot where exactly) that there is no copyright law in the fashion industry. So I'm confident I'll find a cheaper alternative (not fake) that would fit my taste and budget. And boy, did I find one! I just opened my multiply account and the first thing I saw was a post by Therapy BaSo I have to look for a cheaper alternative and boy, did I found one! gs that these Alexa and Cambridge satchels-like bags were open for preorder. And at freaking Php999 only! So I paid my deposit and after two agonizing weeks, I got mine! Yey!

So, Cambridge satchel - check! Alexa bag - hmmm... maybe not now. I'm planning on expanding my shoes collection. Like what I've said, I've not a bagaholic.

i heart alexa chung! that's why i like the alexa better than cambridge, more girly!, more girly!
Great find! Ako din di masyado mahilig sa bag. Kadalasan black lang ang gamit ko.
gustong sudto ko rin yung cambridge satchel! :) medyo expensive nga rin lang sya for me...pero i saw 1 in facebook from coconut gold nasa 660 to 800+ lang sya.. :)
I also plan to get an Alexa myself. They're so cute kasi! =)
I don't like Cambridge satchels that much. Para kasing masyadong "boxy". But the Alexa bag, I like.
Kuripot din ako pagdating sa bag. Kaya puro wishful thinking na lang. Hehe.
