Magazines: Queen, ViVi, Sweet and Steady

I like to collect asian magazines, especially Japanese editions because they're bigger, have more content (picture-wise) and they come with the cutest gifts with purchase evarrr. I usually get just one (ViVi) or two when traveling, but this time I got carried away at PageOne and bought four...
[Queen Autumn 2010, ViVi January 2011, steady December 2010, Sweet December 2010]

Man, were they HEAVY! I couldn't get over how heavy they were so I weighed them when I got home and they tipped the scale at 3.5 kilograms altogether! My poor arms and shoulders.  x_x

steady comes with a small Agnes B. tote and a heart-shaped bag hook, for those who have light purses. I don't think it can take a loaded Neverfull gals. ^_~

Sweet comes with a small Kitson animal print tote and zippered purse.
I can never use such small totes so I'm dedicating these totes for carry-on snacks OR shoes. I think they'll make the cutest shoe bags! ^_^

Happy Friday! xx

  1. using them as a shoebag is a good idea XD!! they must have weighed so heavy in your luggage T_T I read the Chinese version of Vivi though :) you should get that one since it's less thick HAHHAHAA

  2. They'll make good shoe bags!

    No pizza. My father-in-law developed a nose bleed that wouldn't stop and my wife had to take him to the emergency room. He's fine--he just hasn't had many in his life and didn't know how to get it to stop...I was able to give him LOTS of advice on that! =) Anyway, that kind of threw us off course and I forgot about the craving. But I think Friday night would be a great time for pizza. =)

  12. I'm obsessed with Japanese magazines for the same reason, and I also have a bunch of those small totes I don't know what to do with! One is a Tsumori Chisato, and it's just too cute to give away, and the other is a Marc by Marc Jacobs.

    I'd say Sweet & More are my favorite magazines :-)

  15. Great tip on using them as shoebags! I'm always donating small bags b/c I have no idea what to use them for. =\ Japanese mags are the best! But oh my I hope your poor arms and shoulders have recovered. That heart-shaped bag hook is so cute! Good tip on the Neverfull. ;)

    (I don't think I have a whole lot this time but yes, food pics are coming...haha! XD
