Oh how i love theeee.....

Oh how I love theee...let me count the ways.

3.1 to be in fact. I heart Phillip Lim. He is my latest obession. He is the mastermind behind 3.1 Phillip Lim. Phillip Lim debuted his eponymous collection, 3.1 phillip lim, in the fall of 2005 to instant success, both critically and commercially. Lim's success continued in 2006 with the fashion industry's widespread recognition of his talent. An inaugural presentation of the fall/winter collection kicked off New York Fashion Week with glowing reviews. Most recently, following his spring '07 runway show, Booth Moore, of the Los Angeles Times said, "This fashion week a star was born: Phillip Lim!"

Happy Thursday!!!

Christmas is coming around the corner. I have on the hunt for those perfect holiday presents. My mother-in-law wants a new purse. She prefers a black bag that is roomy enough to hold the contents of office but small enough to hold the contents her sedan's trunk. What a daunting task!!! I love shopping like the next girl. But all these trips to the mall and the online shopping sites makes me crave new shoes or new dress. Now i understand what it means that the holidays can be expensive.

Two nights ago, i was online at Saks.com. The Miu Miu jeweled flats went on sale. I wanted them sooooooooooo bad. But even on sale i could not justified the price tag. I went back later and they were already sold out. But deep down inside i know if i really want them i can make a call to my favorite sales lady at Saks. She could find them for me.


Soooooo Pretty!!!!


Ms. Kate Spade creates are similarly cute pair of flats for half the cost. Just as cute as the Miu Miu pair without the guilt. But unfornuate for Ms. Spade the reviews on these bellas are not great. It appears the middle stone falls off short after your first few months. What a waste!!!




I keep telling myself....resist the urge. Don't buy it/Be Good/You don't really need it/You will get a new bag SOON!!!! I am currently on a waiting list for this bag i have been dying to own. It is the Phillip Lim Studded Edie Bag. There was only a limited production. And even since Rachel Bilson has seen everywhere with it. It has been impossible to get. But it appears that in January they will reproduce it. And i am the waiting list. Woo hoo!!! Hopefully it won;t be like that crappy waiting list like when i was 19 waiting to get in Liquid in SOBE. Let's just say that night did not go well.

New Ride

Who says Asians can't drive?!? They must have known me.Last weekend, i picked up some new wheels with 28" rims. My new ride is a sweet red color. Well, today we finally decided to take it for a ride. We decided to take the bikes to grab breakfast at Starbucks. Then after that we rode to the local bike shop to pick up a few new upgrades to add to the bikes. Next stop, down the hill we go to a local cayon and trail. It was a great day to go for a ride. You had the wind in your face and the whiff of horse poop in the air. What a day i must say!!! No only did you have to watch out for hikers, bikers, and other people, but you have to watch out for land mines of horse poop. Don't ride next to poop or else you may fall from the odor. Phewwwwwwwww!!!!I think the old adage is correct. Asians can't drive!!! Me being a asian gal myself, i can only speak for my experiances. As a biker i must say i think if you are on the road with me, you need to watch for me because i am too busy trying to hard not to crash nor fall to be watching out for you. Today's ride was not so bad, if you don't count the numerous times my pants got caught in my gears. Or the countless times i almost fell or crashed. One embarassing moment was when i hopped on to the street and crashed into my hubby. That is probably now playing on Youtube somewhere.

Greetings Everyone

Welcome to Cheeksie's world!!! Some of you may know me as Cheeksie. I am a self-proclaimed shopaholic. I use retail therapy as my vice. I enjoy spending my free time browsing the sales racks or viewing internet websites. I usually don't buy anything for myself. I just buy things to sell on eBay. It is my lame excuse to hide my shopping habit. But who am I kidding...the clothes are piling up in my spare closet.
