Salt Bites Into...Jil Sander

Jil Sander's Reversible Tote @ Mr. Porter

Fancied a reversible bag before and I still am drooling over it 'til this very day. What I want is within my price range, black nylon on one side and sand nylon on the other trimmed with leather handles and a smooth strap. This one from Jil Sander, is out of my reach for sure but is something I'd definitely recommend to those who have just about enough to spare.

Salt Bites: Six For The Weekend

How was the weekend everybody? Hope you all enjoyed the hot two days off. 

As for myself, I'm pretty drained this weekend, like I always am. Since I got a job, I reserve my nights out for Saturdays. So the drill will be something like, go out around 7 in the evening, get home at the latest at 5 in the morning, wake up at around 7 something in the morning for mass and then just get on with the day. So it's pretty normal for me to be all grumpy and unproductive on a Sunday. 

But anyway, I've been blessed with enough time this weekend so I've given myself a breather to discover some new things, things that I love occupying myself with. I'm making Salt Bites a permanent section and post for my blog so we're all updated on things that are inspiring, exciting and worth knowing. So click and read on to see what I'm happily sinking my teeth, time and thought in for this weekend.

Salt Bites into...Cole Haan

Double the fun.
Salt's first Bite into Cole Haan

Walking down Fifth avenue, somewhere near Rockefeller Center, Cole Haan's window display shuts me up from my mindless gab. I'd forgotten what it was I was blabbering to my mom about, but what I was sure of was how I swooned after seeing these killer kicks on the store's display. 

The usual suede wingtips in cool, cool neutrals had some unexpected (yet, expected in our times and styles), solid dips of color for soles: yellow, red, blue, the works and with its ribbed design, it kind of reminded me of one of the reasons why I'm having this sporty, athletic phase (again). I knew I had the money to get me that gray suede and yellow one, I knew it. But since I was too afraid to lose money when I get back here in Manila, plus I had so much more stuff to buy, I had to give it up. And just like all recipes for regret would teach you, I told myself I should've gotten the courage and the devil-may-care to just get them and save the "what if's" for later. Now, I am in regret and feeling it without style.
