When Alex told me about the Coach and Holiday event with The Man Repeller, I was pretty excited to check it out! I had never been to the Coach store on Madison Ave, which was really large and filled with all sorts of lovely Coach items. There was many a purse that I wanted to take home with me, but sadly they are out of my price range. While we wandered around the store, Alex and I sipped on champagne and nibbled on the various treats they were passing around. And of course, we picked up our custom monogrammed tags! We ended up choosing the same color scheme (navy tag with silver writing), so now we have matching Coach tags, which I think is pretty fun! :D
Only a couple more days until the big day! For those who celebrate, I hope you have an absolutely wonderful Christmas and I’ll be back after the holiday! :)
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!

It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.

Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?

I am obsessed with Coach but also find myself a little light in the pocket book to afford most things in the store. Sigh … at least you got to feast your eyes on some delish eye-candy and enjoy the feasting with a glass of champagne in your hand! xx Cat
not sure if my reply went through..looks like it was a lovely event. hope you’ve been enjoying the holidays have cheers to 2012
Best wishes for a very happy NYE (and belated happy holidays). I love that coach store- it is so full of surprises and purses they don’t stock anywhere else. Looks like a fab event!
