Me # 3: Your most treasured handbag

My Guess handbag.

I adore it

My mom bought this for me 1 day in line at the store because I was wearing a white dress with black embroidered flowers and we knew it would look great with my dress.

In a true selfless mother style, mom bought it for me when she has always wanted an original Guess handbag herself.

I hardly use the bag becuse I dont want to mess it up and also because it really is too small for all the junk as seen in Me #1!

It isn't just  bag - this is yet another way my mom has proven to love me so much that she foregoes her own wishes to fulfill mine.

Me #2: Your favourite scarf

Ok so it was really difficult deciding - I took a careful look at all my pretty scarves and lovingly wrapped them all around my neck and eventually decided on a tie.

My black skinny scarf with black sequins is a great accessory I wear in summer. The fluffy pink scarf was a gift from my mom and is so fluffy you almost expect it to purr!

Dear Chinese silk scarf - I love you too, you were a very close finalist.
