The Perfect Work Bag - Tory Burch [Deal Alert]

The Perfect Work Bag - Tory Burch [Deal Alert]

Happy Sunday everyone! :)

Now that I got my perfect work shoes, it's time to move my attention looking for the perfect work bag. I don't know about you guys, but I love deals. In that case, deal.com.sg is my best friend. I was really fascinated when I found out that deal.com.sg got a promotion on Tory Burch tote bags.

Before I go straight away to discuss about the deals I found, let me make myself clear that I do not get paid to write a blog about this deal. I write this article because I purely think that these deals are the deals nobody should miss, and I am just dying to share these great finds with you all <3

Tote bag makes a perfect work bag. I picked these two because of the shape, size, weight and color available that I think make them perfect to be used as work shoes. So here it goes:

My pick #1: Tory Burch York Buckle Tote for S$199.00


Dimensions:
  • Height: 11 inches (28 cm)
  • Length: 15 inches (37 cm)
  • Depth: 6 inches (17 cm)

My pick #2: Thea Chain Slouchy Shoulder Leather Bag for S$299

  • Dimensions:
    • Height: 10 inches (26 cm)
    • Length: 13.5 inches (34 cm)
    • Depth: 6 inches (15 cm)


    Tory Burch is a US brand. Knowing where the brand comes from will help you so much in checking how much the original value of the product is, thus will letting you know how much you could save if you were to buy the product. What I did is I checked online for how much the bag is in the US.

    For the Tory Burch York Buckle Tote (my pick #1), the price is S$199.00. I checked online on Toryburch.com for US region and it shows the price is $245. To make it easy, just think that it is S$245 (in Singapore dollar currency). So in a way if you're buying the tote bag through deal.com.sg, you would save more than S$45 value.

    While for the Thea Chain Slouchy Shoulder Leather bag, it is priced at S$299.00 at deals.com.sg, and at $495.00 at toryburch.com. Personally this is my favorite because let's be real, the york buckle bag's design is not so exclusive. Meaning, other brand like Michael Kors, DKNY, and Coach all have the same exact design and material. The only difference you'd get is only on the logo.

    I know by experience that Tory Burch bags have a great quality. They are durable and they look classy to wear for any kind of occasion. Not that just you could buy any of these two at a reduced price, you also could select option for home delivery.

    Sunday is my favorite all time to go look for deals. If you are like me, happy looking [and shopping]! ;)

    XO,

    FASHION - Choosing the perfect work shoes [Deal alert]

    Choosing the perfect work shoes [Deal alert]

    pc: http://www.marocmegamall.com/image/magasins/charles-keith.jpg

    Singapore is the home of Charles & Keith, and I LOVE that brand very very much. My first purchase from this brand was for my high school prom. It has been over 6 years and my heels I purchased back then are still in great condition. 

    In my opinion their shoes are priced reasonably, comfy, and long lasting. I can dance all night or run on Charles & Keith shoes feeling no pain. Since then Charles & Keith has been my to-go brand for shoes.

    So now that I got my first big girl job, it's time to look for the perfect work shoes. Since it's around New Years time, there are many sales going on. Charles & Keith happens to be one of the many brands that are currently having sales at this point of time, and naturally I checked their sale page online. I was (and still am) really excited to see how many black shoes are on sale that are also my size (which is 36). Oh how I love shopping in Asia! 

    The perfect work shoes I have in mind is it must be black, because black is a versatile color, and it looks professional. I have narrowed down my choice and would like to share with you guys my top 3 pick. Are you ready?


    Pick #1: Pointed Ballerina Flats (Black color) S$37.50 from S$46.90 
    For practicality, black flats is a must. Think about rainy days (like literally). I don't know about you, but I will be taking public transport to go to work. As much as I love Charles & Keith heels, I do not want my shoes hindering my safety and efficiency to work. I am not a big fan of flats, but look at the tip of the shoes! It's pointy and it's down-to-earth sexy. This shoes is also available in burgundy and silver color.



    Pick #2: Basic Pointed Heels (Black color) S$39.80 from S$56.90
    You can never go wrong to go basic. This shoes used to be available in 3 colors, but now, only black is (which is just perfect for my need). I love the silhouette of this shoes, and the heel itself is not too intimidating. Just by looking at it, I know it won't tire me out even if I had to stand on it for hours.



    Pick #3: Pointed Wedge Pumps (Black color) S$37.70 from S$53.90
    Personally wedges is my least favorite style, but I know that there would be days when I feel the need to put my legs and feet to rest, while still want to look tall at the same time. There also would be days when I have a long day standing on my feet. In those two occasions this wedges would be my savior. At the time I purchased this shoes (Jan 6), the shoes are still available in 3 colors: white, purple, and black.

    Imagine how happy I was finding these 3 gems. They are totally worth investing in. Black shoes will never go out of style, and you could easily transform your office look to evening look sporting the same shoes. No fuss. Love it. I can also imagine myself wearing these shoes on other occasions too that is not for work-related function.

    There are a few other black flats, heels, and wedges available on Charles and Keith sale page. But these three are just my top favorites. I judge them based on the silhouette and the height of the heels. To order them online, you have to spend at least S$150 to be eligible for free shipping. Otherwise there will be S$9.90 shipping fee. 

    OR you could have the information online as a reference and once you get to the store, ask the shop assistant to help you order for the shoes you want. That what I'd do to avoid paying for shipping fee =P

    Happy Tuesday!
