Bag-A-Bond

For the longest time,I was notr a branded bag and shoes kind of girl.My costliest bag was a  Rs.3500($70) worth Gayatri Chopra clutch I had purchased during an exhibition 2 years back which I still use and love.During college expensive bags seemed like a frivolous expense and anyway no one I knew cared much about them even though it was a design school.We barely managed to get up and reach on time after the long nights and busy days.However,over the years,I have developed an appreciation and love for certain brands of bags.Even though the miser in me still reels at some of the prices,There are a few I've been coveting for a few years now that are well worth the price.Here are 5 bags I hope to buy within the next couple of years!

The Louis Vuitton Speedy Monogram 30

This LV Bag is easily the most recognizable bag of all time.And there is a good reason for it.It's a classic design which is perfect for day or work and even an occasional date night!Priced at $895,It is a luzury bag without breaking the bank.It's available in 4 sizes though I like the 30 best as it is neither too big nor too small.Just the perfect size for a dump-all like me!I have a fascination for top handles and absolutely LOVE the shape of it.This one is on my first on my list of things to buy!Let's hope you guys will see me using it soon!

The Coach Legacy Colorblock Leather Molly Satchel

This bag has everything that I love in bags.The moment I saw it,I knew that it was so ME!

Stunning Colors.Top handle and sling.Metal Zip.Boho Tassels.Fabulously Roomy.

What more could a girl want!Unfortunately,Currently it's sold out online.I hope there's one available in stores somewhere.

Price:$498

Malaga 'El Dorado' Clutch

I've seen clutches from all brands all over the world and somehow none are as pretty as the ones we do in India.This clutch is one I would love to have for my trousseau.It goes perfectly with Indian and Western clothes.It is bling enough without being blinding.The stones are so mesmerizing I could admire them all day!

I'm not sure about the price but this collection retails for around Rs.15000($278) approx as far as I know.

A Jump From Paper 2D Bag

The first time I saw this bag,I thought that it was an illustration!And I'm sure that I am not the first one to think that.Although,this is not really a High-End Designer Bag or even overpriced,This is definitely a Major Statement Bag!My obsession with quirk is fulfilled with this one.:)

Available at Jumpfrompaper.com for $99

A Fluoro Cambridge Satchel 

The first bag I ever truly lusted after and can you really blame me?

Cambridge Satchel Company makes handcrafted leather satchels in the most gorgeous colours.And their Neon Range is definitely on the top of my lust list for bags.Methinks Pink for me...Which one would you choose?

Price: $180 approx for a 13"

I hope you enjoyed reading about my Bag-a-Bonds!Do you have any bags that you've been coveting?

What's your dream bag?

a new NEW year.

With so much of negativity around us at the end of this year,It is important to be positive in order to bring a positive change in our society.Doomsday has come and gone and it is time to start afresh and cleanse our society of evil as in Indian Mythology.So instead of wishing for material things,why not bring in the new year with some good wishes.Here goes my wishlist for 2013.

Love has the power to change.It gives us a strength to carry which we didn't even know we had.It brings us happiness and tears and sometimes tears of happiness.I wish for lots of love this new year.Love to receive and love to give.For my family and friends and for humankind.

I hope we find both inner and outer peace.I wish we feel content in what we do and proud of what we have done.Hatred clouds our mind and muddles up everything.Find a way to get what we want through being proactive rather than fighting with anger.

Hope for a better tommorow. A better month.A better year.Teach our kids and siblings better so that we can be the change we want to see.

 Dream of a better year and follow that dream.Store it in a bottle.Write a note so that we don't forget it in the morning.Dream the impossible.A fleeting thought can change the way we live.If you have always wanted to do something.Do it now.Tomorrow you might not be able to.

Hope 2013 makes all your dreams come true!
