As  much as I love my Marc by Marc Jacobs Turnlock wallet, I’ve been looking for a new wallet to replace it for over a year now. Because it is made of an incredible soft leather in cream, it instantly got ruined. All the dirt and grum of handling it day by day has coated it and made it completely grungy. But not only that, in the same week that I purchased the wallet – I managed to get ballpoint pen scribbled all over it and have never managed to get it off since!

I’m really particular about my accessories, so I’ve been looking hard for a replacement. There hasn’t been anything that I’ve really liked, but had been eyeing an LV wallet because I know two people who have said that their wallets have lasted over ten years! That’s definitely a lot longer than a week of ruining my MJ wallet! Now that is durable!

The LV wallets I’ve seen are pretty chunky, or are tri-fold, or don’t have much room for cards, or don’t have a zip for coins. But in Atlantic City, James and I were shopping at Caesers and I saw that the LV had my perfect wallet! Except it only came in Monogram :( And when we hurried to Sak’s, they couldn’t find the Damier Ebene either.Sad sad! We waited around for about 15 minutes for them to check all their drawers for it (their system said they had two) but it just could not be found. But as we were about to leave, they found it! YAY!!!!!! So JT got it for me for Chrissy and he got himself the sunnies which I reckon looks pretty good on him.

Anyway.. THANKS BABY. I LOVE IT. <3

Photos are below!

I went home and took another photo of it. White background looks cool, doesn’t it? Haha.

The night of Boxing Day, we went to Caesers hotel. The tree looks so amazing!

Then we had dinner there. Was delicious as it looks! Below is duck, seafood bowl, beef chow fun and mango pudding. Yum yum yum.

The night of Christmas, James, his parents and I drove down to Atlantic City.

We spent a lot of time at the pool which was cool because it was really nice and warm in there and I could lounge around in a bikini, sipping on Mojitos. I loved this, because the warmth reminded me of Christmas at home in Australia!

James was trying to model a lot with his new Tiffany Atlas ring that I got him for Chrissy:

We also went later at night which was really really nice. I took a panorama:

James forgot his trunks, so we didn’t go swimming and just lounged around by the pool.. But I must say that we are still hawt.. Ha ha ha

The following photo is disappointingly blurry. I don’t have a steady hand :(

James said he looks like a stalker in that photo. Funny. Hahaha.

Thursday arvo (Christmas Eve), I made by way to Toronto City Airport and took a Porter Flight over to New Jersey. Had a lovely dinner at James’ brother’s place (Ryan & Kim) with his family.

Had lots and lots of yummy sushi (thanks to Kim’s family). Also filled my stomach with lots of delicious turkey, ham & cranberry sauce. Kim makes the most delicious ham and cranberry sauce!

I didn’t take any photos of what Kim made but it was DELICIOUS. I only have sushi photos for some reason. I think I was too consumed by trying to get all the food in my mouth and down my belly that I didn’t even think to take photos.

There was also mini bite sized sushis for little Tyler. Cute!
