Bagaholicboy Reminisces #10 – Best Of November 2009

I have much to be thankful for in November; honestly in my opinion the best month I had all year. Yes going to Europe in September was really fun and a huge eye opener for me, but November rocked. Really, really rocked. And here’s why:

01. For starters, how about meeting Christopher Bailey in person? Yes I saw him when I was in London for the Spring-Summer 2010 Womens Burberry Prorsum runway show and after party, but that paled in comparison to what happened in Singapore. He smiled at me. He shook my hand. He kindly autographed a photograph. And we took a couple of snaps together. Bliss. Was then. Still is now.

02. Coming in at 2nd place has got to be my tiny mention in Prada: The Book. Don’t believe me? Just flip to page 526. Nuff said.

03. Got on a plane. Got off the plane. Got on another plane. And between the getting on and off, we were still in Singapore. Yes, read about my first ever press junket to Hong Kong for the launch of the LG New Chocolate here.

04. Attended many grand openings of flagship stores in Singapore, including Burberry, Coach, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada (thank you all who made it all possible for me to even attend in the first place).

05. Started a new section on the blog (Bagaholicboy Reviews) and kicked off with my first official review; the amazing and lush Loewe Amazona Weekender in Black Calf.

06. Had the chance to assist on a fashion shoot in Singapore for a magazine that’s published in Hong Kong. Totally awesome. And because of the shoot, now I’m lusting for the cardigan. Not good at all…

07. Fretting about what to get your loved ones for X’mas? Loads of holiday collections already previewed on the blog including those by Agnès b., Coach, Hermès, Kate Spade, Loewe, Louis Vuitton and Miu Miu.

08. Featured even more new upcoming collections you’ll either love or hate. Miu Miu Stage Bag anyone? A Coin Purse Bunny or a Pochette Rooster? How about a waterproof cotton Tod’s Pashmy?

09. What’s a month without obsessions? The one that got away/can’t be found/what on Earth is it called; the leather clutch from the Fall-Winter 2009 Womens Proenza Schouler collection.

10. And last but not least, I did my part for the less fortunate. Do your part too and get a copy of ‘Snowman In Africa’ for just SGD36. 100% of its proceeds goes to Unicef. Please?
