lust: michael michael kors

Hi! Can't believe it's Sunday afternoon already. I feel like the weekend just started and I'm not ready for the school week to begin again. As midterms approach, I don't want to study for my four exams yet, so I've been procrastinating... typical me.


As much as I love my smartphone, I dislike having to rely on it to check the time. It's so inconvenient, but I have no choice because I don't own a watch. Which leads me to the conclusion that I need one, and definitely one not like the $12 watch from Wal-Mart (which I threw away in August after 2+ years of (ab)use), but a nice watch, preferably from a well-known brand.

This is where Michael Kors comes in. I first heard of this brand when my cousin mentioned wanting a watch by Michael Kors. Back then, I was in high school and didn't care much for brands, but now I'm lusting after a MK watch. Especially this one in particular:

Bradshaw Chronograph Watch

But I certainly wouldn't mind the following ones:

But obviously, these watches come with a hefty price, unfortunately too much for a poor college student like me to afford. However, I have recently started working, so, I'm going to start saving up to one day call one (or all of these watches) mine.


Still on the subject of Michael Kors, I'm currently in love with his Hamilton line. And what perfect timing! My Fossil Re-Issue Cream Canvas & Leather Crossbody Messenger Bag (what a mouthful) is showing signs of serious wear (now I know better to not buy light colored bags and wear jeans that transfer their dye onto the cream bag; I'll post a picture of my rather sorry bag later) and I am craving a black leather bag as a replacement for my everyday, errand bag.

I've been eyeing the Hamilton Large Tote for awhile, but now that I think about it, I dislike my messenger bag which is heavy even when it's empty. Therefore, I'm going crazy about the smaller, Hamilton satchel. It's only $50 cheaper, but I feel like the size is a better fit for me since I like carrying as less as I can.

There also seems to be a Saffiano leather version of this smaller size, which I'm definitely loving.

I really like the adorable feet and the padlock, and the key (!!) which is hidden here, but still ♥ The only problem I have with it is that the strap isn't long enough to wear it as a crossbody. But gahh! I'm gushing over how cute this bag is... which makes me consider what I should save up for first: watch or bag. 


Internet eye shopping definitely has ruined me for the rest of my life. I can already imagine sorrowfully (yet gleefully) departing with hard earned money for years to come...

Thank you for reading and what do you think about Michael Kors?
