I couldn't resist

My mom has always had a slight obsession with woven leather. She had this pair of black woven leather Cole Haan shoes that she absolutely adored to death. Like I'm not even kidding when I say that she wore them until the sole fell off and the weaves got so loose that her little toe started peeping out of it. And even then she still tried to wear them out. Pang-'palengke!' daw. haha.

It's funny how my mom and I are so different. While I am ocassionaly lured into 'fast fashion', she only buys things that last her for a minimum of 10 years. In fact, her favorite dark wash Versace jeans (bought in the days when Linea Italia was still hip) are now white! You know how tapered high waisted jeans are all the rage now? Well, my mother has been wearing them for the last decade! Ha!

Ok, what was I talking about again? Aha, woven leather! I know my mom has been secretly wanting to get a Bottega Veneta for a while now because the house is a master when it comes to weaved leather goods. I don't know why she's never come around to actually purchasing one...maybe she's just way too prudent to buy something something that she can't wear every single day.

Well, fear not Mom because as of today we are proud owners of not one but two Bottegas!

(i realize telling your mom you've maxed your card via blogging probably isn't the best way to break the news. oh well.)
I LOVE YOU, MAMA!!!!!!

    Really funny! Exactly like me and my mother! Moms are so cautious..
    Actually sometimes I'm too "shopping-impulsive"
    Great choice: beautyful bags, well they're italian - I'm not surprised! :)

    The bags are most definitely gorgeous, though personally, I'd prefer the first.

    madem- yes,i think something about being a mom makes you more practical..sometimes you really need to give them a huge nudge to buy something!!!

    keren- to be honest, im more of a fan of the first bag too :)

    siljie, stiletto effect, tailorsitch- the braid is beautiful.

    mo- hmm...i dont know if proud is the word id use. hahha!! :)) it is totally worth it though.

    sing me songs- i do lurve my mom very much!!!

    life's a shoe- i think im keeping the first one! (i have a slight feeling ill be using the brown one A LOT though when im at home)

    miranda, jamie- thanks! yeah, i think she will really get a lot of use out of them
