a piece of Hamilton at a fraction of the price!



First video to be uploaded onto youtube-land and I can't even begin to tell you how nerve racking it is. It's kinda crazy watching myself through a screen, not to mention hearing my own voice *cringes* Either ways it's up and out there now...

Apologises for forgetting to show my phone, it wasn't in my bag at the time and it kinda just lapsed my mind. 

The bag, as mentioned in the video, is from yesstyle.com. It comes in four colours which I had to constrain myself not to purchase more than just one. 

The bag can be found in two sizes but oddly if you're looking for the smaller size it's sold by another company on the site, not Ajito. I gave preference to the larger version by Ajito which measures "32cm(W) x 30cm(H) x 10cm(D), Strap Length 16cm".

This bag reminds me so much of the Michael Kors'Hamilton Large Tote with a much smaller price tag. Place next to each other it's really hard for me to justify pursing the Hamilton which retails at $348, whilst Ajito offers it's tote at $105 (Currently on sale for $94.5)

Not to say that the two are inseparable but realistically I love and want to buy the design, which inarguable is very similar.So if you're looking for a cheaper option and Ajito makes a colour you fancy, I would high suggest saving yourself a bit of money.

YESSTYLE.COM

I've always "window-shopped" on yesstyle.com but this would be the first time I've actually gone ahead and made a purchase. They do offer free shipping to Australia on all orders above $99. So depending on the total cost of your purchase, you may want to kindly and oh so selflessly introduce this site to a friend and buddy up on an order. Shipping for this order took a while to actually get dispatched which was a bit of a downer and admittedly I got fairly impatient. 

WHAT I LOVE is the huge array of products offered on the website from fashion to make up to stationary whether you're a guy or a gal. More importantly a good selection of the make up offered to the site is lower than retail prices. Now if you live in Australia you would know that EVERYTHING is hiked up at least 100% price tag wise which makes being a shopaholic literally painful. So this site can be something of a god-sent to my bank account. 

WHAT I DIDN'T LOVE SO MUCH would probably be the long wait on shipping and that the site can come to be a little overwhelming. The catalogue offered can just be a little hard to navigate. 

I will say that the package for the bag came very nicely packaged which ensured my bag had a snug trip from Hong Kong to my doorstep. 

The exciting news is that I just made a new order from the site on the weekend, this time for a selection of clothing that I'm very excited to blog about!

Hope this was helpful!
