Balenciaga gift from my Minh

It's official! I'm 23!
Minh came home from work, changed & we went to the animal shelter here in Seattle, and a few other places. I was excited because it was his first time visiting the shelter, and I wanted to show him a dog I fell in love with 2 weeks ago. I aslo went to make my birthday donations to the humane society : ) They take such great care of the animals there, that I want to do what I can to show my support to them.

Every time we would get out of the car, he'd accidentally pop open the trunk instead of locking the car doors. He kept asking me to close the trunk, which I did about 2 times and gave him attitude both times because it was raining & cold.

Then we got in and out of the car a 3rd time, and he popped open the trunk again in the rain, and I'm like WTFFFF, I was already sad because Gerald, the dog I wanted to show him at the shelter was adopted this morning : ( Anyhow..instead of closing the trunk he opens it more, and then I see a Barney's bag. lol He tricked me!!! No wonder he kept "accidentally" popping the trunk all day.

Anyhow, I was really surprised. He picked up a Balenciaga bag for me on his way home from work. He works a block from Barney's, Nordstrom, etc. I didn't even know they had this style bag. The hardware is covered. I guess the lady at the store helped him pick out a "flashy" bag he says. I dunno how it's flashy cause it's just black. It's black on black, just like how we like our cars! : ) He did good, he says my LV Galliera is like a huge duffle with no compartments. He wants me to have a black bag with zippers. lol I swear it's an Asian thing to want a million compartments and zippers. (What a fob Minh is...even though he was born in Colorado).
I thought the strap was really pretty, but I'm not sure if I want to keep it....
It's a lot of money. We could travel to NYC at least 4 times or have 1 bag.
I think I'm weird, I don't mind if I'm buying it myself, or blowing it at the casino.
But when someone gives me something this much...it's weird!


It means a lot that you picked it out though honey! haha it's the thought that counts. I don't need it!!! Cause your gf aint materialistic :P
I WANT A PUPPY

: ) Thank you! And thank you for taking me to see Michael Buble tonight! He was amazing and I had a great time with you!!!

(even though you kept inappropriately shouting "wooo!! michael bubble!" & embarrassing me!!!)
I will share pictures & video clips with you tomorrow. He's better than I ever imagined live. His whole family was also in the audience too! His grandparents, mom, niece, nephew. It was sweet!

I've also never seen so many dressed up old ladies before at a concert. lol

I've had my eye on the Giant City Sahara...but it's not to be found anywhere...
just saying! haha

Will catch up with you ladies tomorrow : ) It's sleep time!

  3. Awwe that is sooo sweet!!!
    Thaz so funny you didn't get the "hint" when he kept opening the trunk haha
    I know what you mean about expensive gifts though...my bf bought me a laptop for X~mas & I made him return it b4 he even gave it to me (cuz I made him tell me what it was lol)...but he ended up getting me a plane ticket to Hawaii so I guess that wasn't a very good example lol
    I'm only 21 but...I think us girls gotta enjoy these sorta gifts while they last lol <3
    If you don't have a match-everthing-black purse, you should keep it! (it's like the little black dress sorta thing :D )

  18. I LOVE that bag!!! Minh is so thoughtful and sweet (what a keeper)! Keep the bag!! That black Balenciaga will always be stylish and plus I always justify expensive luxe items by dividing the price of the item by how many times you wear it. If you wear it 200 times, it will practically be free! LOL...just trying to make you feel less guiltless.

    Who knows? Maybe you'll get the puppy and still have the bag...how great would that be?

    Hope you're having a great Easter babe!

  30. LOL i cracked up at the thought of your bf shouting Michael Bubble! (While you're next to him in embarassment). Hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  31. haha it so funny how you said he kept shouting Michael Buble and how he was embarrassing you

    ReplyDelete
  32. Minh is so cute the way he kept popping open the trunk for you to notice the bag! The purse is gorgeous and if he took that time to shop for you you may want to keep the bag.

    Also, the Shisem Lashes arrived and my daughter loves them!! She says they fit her eye perfectly. This weekend we are on a mission to see if we can find Shisem Lashes in our area. ^_~

  33. I'm so happy you had an awesome birthday, Steph!<3 From what you tell us on your blog, Minh sounds like such a sweet and caring boyfriend! lol it's so cute that you got angry so many times haha. xD I'm quite oblivious at times, too! The part about Minh shouting "wooo!! michael buble!" is just freaking hilarious! I can't wait to see your pics and vids from the concert! I'm a Buble fan myself! LOL okay guess what...back in January, I burned a cd for myself to listen to when I was running some errands back home & when I went back to school, I gave it to my sister. Well, Michael Buble's "Save the Last Dance for Me" was on it and my little nieces for some reason developed such a strong liking and attachment to it that they make my sister play that song on REPEAT every.single.time. they are in the car!! haha so now my sister is sick of that song, and even I got kind of sick of it when I was back home for Spring Break (even though I kind of want that song for my first dance at my wedding in the future!) lol...sorry for babbling! I just thought I'd share that story with you ^_^

    The Balenciaga bag is just lovely!

  34. OMG OMG!! why yes!!!! It's GORGEOUS! I'm surprised by how similar the arena is with the city style. I at one point in my life... did own a city (but had to sell it because I needed the money for school. sighh). But anyways, it's stunning, Steph! Now my Balenciaga obsession is starting to cave into me again. I really love the strap detailing. The non-covered bals don't have that! Black on black is so classic and chic! Thank you for sharing this post with me! xoxo

  35. I want this bag sooooo bad!!! If i were to get it, i think i'll go for a classic city, or a giant city. The covered city bag is beautiful, but way too pricey for my pocket :(.

    How nice and sweet of Minh!!!! I don't think anyone would spend this much money on me. Well, my parents bought me a brand new car before..does that count???? Haha!!
