Such bold black and white text! Like it's tailored to your tastes. :) Your grandmother sounds amazing. My family is so tiny - just me and my mom - since all other family members are either dead or estranged. It's normal to me, but when I read about cool grandmas like yours, I feel a bit jealous.

That bag is GORGEOUS. It really does look like an investment, it's so beautiful. I'm thinking that I should stop buying cheap seasonal bags and go for something chic and mature like yours. Eh, I'll wait till I get a job. Anyway, I love it! ♥

ahaha, i was like, clearly, these guys know their key demographic. (well, at least one of their key demographics. lol.) she's pretty awesome. x] my family's rather tiny, too! in comparison to most Asian families, that is, where people tend to have a million siblings and cousins. and i'm not close with most of them, anyway. too flung apart around the world. :(

i remember when you posted photos of your grandma! absolutely lovely. <3 truthfully, it's easier to go on adventures when you've got a small family. :)

thank you! (well, thank Longchamp. haha.) i clutched it for about half an hour, wandering around the shop floor to see if there were any other similar models. but there weren't! and i don't know, dude -- i feel kind of old for being all practicality! long-term investment! multipurpose! as i was on my bag-hunt. MATURITY IS OVERRATED, BB. TRUST ME. just enjoy what you enjoy! (apparently, i enjoy feeling old.)

I enjoy that you enjoy maturity. In an old kind of way. I have faith that I'll get to that point one day. :)

It is easier to go on adventures! Especially since it's just me and my mom. Unfortunately, the grandmother I posted pictures of died years ago (can't remember if I mentioned that), and so I never got the chance to really know her.

Yes, smokers die younger (but do hey have more fun? aha! a quality of life retrospective study s'il vous plaît!!! right, shame on me, biostats were never my forte).

I have a couple of Longchamps handbags (small though) in black and in tan, quite happy with them. Enjoy it sweetheart, it's a good investment!!!

(your grandma is pure ♡. i see a long family line of excellent taste. It's in the genes :o)

ps. T sounds like he's interested. And possibly no the best flirt but in his defense, what your company's policy regarding intra-office romance??? Am i jumping to conclusions? Yes, you can carpool as well.

i think smokers in general do die younger, but i prefer to think about the old Japanese dudes who've been smoking their whole lives and yet live to be, like, a hundred years old. THERE'S HOPE FOR US YET. (life should be enjoyed, yeah?? ;D)

i will, indeed!! haha, having one makes me feel closer to you. <333

(she is, isn't she?? i like to think it's genetics, lol. only, i won't have kids in the future, so i'll have to pass the torch on to my nieces or cousins.)

p.s. he's, like, thirty-something?? and he just broke it off with his fiancee last year, so i'm all ~wary~. he's a self-proclaimed nerd, so i forgive him his flirting tactics (if indeed, he was flirting). and our company is definitely NO INTRA-OFFICE ROMANCE EVER EVER (not that i personally care enough to be extra-cautious on that front). too soon to say, i think! but yes, carpooling is a significant plus. xD
