A very Kate Spade birthday

No, it's not my birthday yet.

I'm not turning 25 until 27th of December, which is like a month away.

But...I got myself something already. Something I call "Early birthday presents"

(Happens every year since I can remember, though hahaha)

I've been waiting for them to arrive from the United States and yesterday, on Thanks Giving morning...

Kate Spade came knocking at my door!

I did some shopping at their friends and family sale last month (of course with a help from my friend since they don't accept international credit cards) and got myself these gorgeous stuff!  

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you..

Little Bow Bridge Kennedy in natural!

This bag was love at first sight and has been on my wish list since I laid my eyes on fall campaign many months ago. Now it's finally mine!

I can't express in words... the color, the cube shape, the bow...this little thing is just PERFECT!

This bag is made of smooth natural leather with crossbody strap with a bow that adds a femininity to its cool masculine cube. The name comes from Central Park which has a bow bridge as its focal point. A sudden feeling of going to Central Park strikes me! Wanna carry this beautiful bag while taking a walk there...in autumn...someday!

Next is the eyeglasses key fob

With a crystal on the right of the glasses, this simply makes the cutest key holder ever. I doubt if I will use it, because it's just too cute! LOL

 And here is the 2012 calendar and schedule book, all original prints by Florence Broadhurst, an Australian artist. I've always been using Sanrio or Disney ones, it's time I grow up a bit :)

Inside there are iconic designs with an aim for each month. December, my birth month is to go for a spin. 

 And October is a month to be curious as a cat.  I wonder why. LOL

Last but not least,  I proudly present you...

 The signature idiom bangle 2012 "This is the year to.."

Every year this Kate sends out idiom bangles to encourage every girl to live colorfully in Kate Spade way. And 2012 is the year to...

Be curious as a cat

Lose yourself in a good book

Add a twist

Play your cards right

Make sparks fly

Wow, sounds to me 2012 is gonna be a great wonderful year!

Taking a time machine back to last year, I had an idiom bangle for my new year present. 2011 version is called "This year I will.."

This one has been my daily wear ever since I got it. My friend Kim Yang Jin sent it to me from Korea :)

It says...

Read the classics

Conquer the souffle

Learn to Cha-Cha

Take up the trumpet

Fall head over heels

2011 is gonna be over in a month and it's a shame I haven't accomplished any of those T^T Hope I do better in 2012, especially the"Fall head over heels"part!

So, here you go, my very Kate Spade birthday presents!

But if you think that's all, no, it's not!

Another parcel is yet to come and it's no other but my birthday present! What a greedy girl, but, well, it's the least I deserve for working so hard all year long!

Be sure to stay tuned and see what the last present is!

For now I'll go to bed, telling myself "I'm the happiest girl in the world!"

Thank you, Kate Spade, for making my life so wonderful :)

Happy Thanks giving and happy holidays to all of you! Cheers!
