Blooming Bouquet: The Fragrant I Lovin from Christian Dior

Just spotted this perfume during my stop over to Thailand for an hours transit on vacation to Philippines last 2011.  from the magazine on my lap in the plane.  I was first captured by its elegant bottle and cap since I don't even try or smell it yet. going back after my vacation, I try to look this perfume to any store when I'm on shopping or passing by some stores after work.

I have been serious to find this perfume and expect to see if its appearance and amounts are also matched on what's inside of it. I found it in a store located in Tokyo, Ginza, and yes, what I expect is what I get, this perfume smell is great and I can say every woman wanted to have a smell like this(floral smell to the sweeter candy-like perfumes).

the cap has a design of glass ribbon with pink and gold combination color and the bottle is so much elegant more than what I saw in the magazine of japan airlines last time!
so, I don't hesitate to buy even if the amount of this perfume is thinkable first before buying, I bought it for 12,000 in yen and 140 in US dollars.why is so expensive? because I buy with a package set of travel refill spray.

and one of the reasons why I did not hesitate to buy this perfume because of that.  a package set of another elegant small space travel bottle attached to it.  the use of this travel bottle is you can put perfume in this travel bottle and you can bring it anywhere you go with not much heavier than carrying the main bottle.

How I cleaned up my Designer Handbag Collection

I’ve always had a passion for fashion and beauty. I mean… I even starting collecting any item from it.  blogging is my place where I can share my obsession with anyone. I probably own too many pieces of Louis Vuitton bags and designer purse today.
And if not too many, at least, more than the minimum that I need. having a designer bag or fashion bag, it is normal to take care it on properly and maintaining the elegance appearance like when you first bought it. that's hard to do that again if you already used your bag for many times. but there are ways to prevent that from getting worst it more. hopefully, my tips below might help you on how to care your bag properly to make it look good always and again.

Basic care

when not in use, store your bags in a closets This will help to protect your bags because if you do not want to lose it in the right shape or color, you can put some tissue inside of it (or some magazine or paper), but make sure not to put too much to avoid your bag not to stretch too much too, avoid use plastic when you want to hide it in your closet because plastic can stick to leather.

use a handbag organizer and sometimes a bag liner, each time when I'm buying a bag I also make sure to buy some package tools on how to take care of it like bag organizer or you can use your own pouch if you have one,  using bag organizer can also help to avoid makeup stain and protecting our bag from any dirt cause of things who we put inside on our bags. and be careful also on where to put your bags anywhere so it's important also to have a hanger for your bag (Something like the image below).

 if your planning to keep your bag in a long time make sure to put a silica gel inside of it before storing it.


Cleaning outside of your handbag

make sure to not use any household cleaner chemicals. clean your bag using the proper cleaner for leather.
avoid putting your handbag in a high humidity like the kitchen and or the top of a refrigerator.

Cleaning inside of your handbag
if your bags are mostly satin lining inside use a wet sponge with a super mild soap ex: liquid soap mixture with water.

you can maintain your bags like new using this tips mention above.remember bags are also an investment, proper care of it will make them stay longer.
