Lovely Day at The Strip, LV


Oyen’s instruction to her brother was to look for a blue Louis Vuitton shoulder bag, and to also go to Fendi to check if they have the bag she liked. BUT, take note, pupunta lang daw, titingnan lang if the stores have, pero hindi bibilhin. Look only, no buying.  She’s just entertaining herself by looking at bags online.

Since we didn’t find the bags in Bellagio, we walked to Crystals Shopping Mall, located adjacent to ARIA Hotel and Casino.  The guy at LV suggested that we go to Crystals because the LV store there is bigger and more choices. Somwe went out of Bellagion Hotel qnd Casino and walked to ARIA.

It was a beautiful day.  Lesser crowd and milder temperature, not freezing cold and no wind.

I hope this city remains safe.

Five years ago more than 50 people died and more than 500 injured when a white gunman used high-powered guns atop Mandalay Bay to massacre concert goers.  I hope nothing like that happens again.  There’s an unfortunate chance that it would because it’s not in America’s culture and way of life to check the baggage, luggage, handbags, backpacks of people entering their buildings and stores.

 

THE STRIP

It was only a short distance from Bellagio to ARIA but I got tired because of the stairs, I was short of breath.

We sat  down for a while and just watched people go by.   No shoppers today.   Balenciaga was empty the wholetime we were seated across their big store.

I forgot to go inside Fendi, baka they have more choices.  Pero di ba ang sabi look only, don’t buy?

Edmund arrived and joined Nyke in choosing to sit and wait for me.

I went inside Louis Vuitton hoping to find what Oyen was looking for or at least something similar.   Fun fact:  She doesn’t have a single LV bag because she’s not attracted to the brand.  Ang dami na daw kasing meron.  Daming fake.

That’s why I am surprised that she likes something unfortunately that was a limited edition.   Ang cute naman nung gusto nya pero wala na palang ganyun.

Nice color, nice design, but I think this is more for my age.  Parang hindi for younger ladies.

I called Nyke to come into the store.  Edmund remained outside.  I didn’t know he wasn’t feeling well pala.  Ang init daw, eh he was wearing thermal clothes kasi ang ginaw sa labas.
