It's bags and shoes for the first half of August on AVA. New this week is the VIETA bags private sale. 

Vieta is known for its impeccable tailoring and elegant designs. International fashion publications such as Seventeen, Cosmopolitan and Instyle featured Vieta bags in the "get the look for less" section of the magazines. Vieta has gained universal appeal mainly because of its success in delivering the best quality designer bags that are trendy and completely unique at an affordable price!

A few months ago, I bought the Deyn bag in black and have blogged about it. Quite a versatile design, I've used in for work and weekend shopping trips.

Now AVA brings you several VIETA bags...

Deyn Handbag is available in three colors: black, taupe and brown... kinda liking taupe

Paige Shoulder Bag

Sienne Satchel

Up to 30% off on these bags. More styles on their site. The VIETA private sale will run from Aug. 5 to Aug. 19!

I really would love to grab a bag from VIETA but I'm also waiting for the next sale! 

MELISSA, our favorite jelly shoes, is next on AVA's list starting Aug. 12 until Aug. 26. Now I can't decide if I should get a bag or shoes! See some of the shoes on sale...

Paris designer, J Maskrey

my favorite collection, Vivienne Westwood

award winning industrial designer from NY, Karim Rashid

But to make things interesting, AVA will give one lucky lady a chance to get a free pair of MELISSA shoes for free!

To make things sweeter... the winner will also get P3,000 worth of gift certificate from MELISSA! It's like getting two pairs for free!

So, from now until Aug. 12, gather all your family, friends, colleagues and whoever is there in your contact list and invite them all!

Me and My Vieta Deyn

Ok, so after I saw at MFO's blog that the Vieta Deyn bag was already available at SM Makati's Fashion Forum, I immediately drove there during my lunch break last Thursday. Took me only ten minutes to grab the pag and pay for it! LOL! 

I love the bag coz it's chic and roomy. Can pass of as a mommy-bag and as you can see, there's a rocker-vibe going on with those studs underneath. I love it! So funky! Plus, it's sold for P3,450 only. I checked only and it sells $105... not bad!

So Friday and Saturday I dressed around my new bag. My clothes are from my "cheap and cheerful" collection. Haha! Various tiangge finds and some old stuff from my closet.

old Sari-Sari Store black dress and zebra print Tory Burch flats 

- for work

top and tank top from tiangge, shorts from Old Navy and shoes from Schu 

- for casual dinner with friends

top from d.e.i. (direct selling brand), GAP boyfriend pants, Kenneth Cole belt 

and shoes from Payless 

- for errands

I just realized, looking at my outfits, that I have overlooked my wardrobe. I splurge on bags and shoes but don't update much of my clothes. Maybe it's time I should update my closet a little bit.
