It's finally my birthday :D
Even though it doesn't feel like a big special day like it did when I was younger, it's still exciting for me.
I got my my beautiful new paradiso gioco and i'm in love with it ^_^
I also got a much needed hard make-up case.
I've had a soft zip-up case for a while and I just felt so unorganized with it.
So, now that I have my new bag, i can give my L'amore zucca a much needed rest for awhile :)

So, this year for my birthday I'm getting a new Tokidoki purse.
I really REALLY wanted to get one of the Hello Kitty X Tokidoki boston bags, but my birthday was too far away when they first came out and i missed the chance to snag one at an un-insane price. The bag retails at $125 but because it's so rare now you can't find one on eBay for less than $350. Crazy huh?
But anyway, I had a limit of $250 for a bag and my search began.
Because Tokidoki for Lesportsac bags aren't being made anymore, they are pretty hard to get now and marked up way over retail.
It makes me wish I had bought all the bags I wanted when I actually had a job -_-
I had wanted to get a new zucca since my L'amore Zucca is my favorite bag ever and it's time to retire it.
Sadly, the selection of zuccas left on ebay is super limited and way over priced.
Seriously, they retailed for $184 and now they are over $250.
The least expensive bags listed are the tuttis, trasportos, and some vacanze. I honestly wasn't going to be completely happy with any of those, even though I probably could have gotten a good deal.
After much debate, thought, and a long period of feeling guilty for the price, I found the bag I wanted.
I bought a NWT Paradiso Gioco for $250 ( almost $100 over retail price).
The price is crazy, but the bag is beautiful.
I've always wanted something in the Paradiso print and i figured now was the time to get one since who knows how much longer people will be listing them on eBay. The price will only go up higher as time goes by.
I used to hate the gioco style, but the more I looked at it the more it appealed to me.
If i'm paying all that money for a purse, i want something a little more 'stand out' than a tote bag like a Buon Viaggio or a Mamma Mia. ( No offense to BV and MM lovers ^-^)
I'm super excited to get it.
Seriously, i feel like I'm going to cry when I see it.
Tokidoki makes me so happy :D
