Arrival, including first purchase

*
have been in the city for a week now and after being a vagabond for the first few days, i am finally settled in my apt.

as it is difficult to shop with a canadian credit card for fear of the exchange rate, shopping has been limited thus far until i start earning american dollars. however...

i have been looking for a strappy shoulder/crossbody wallet-type bag for awhile. truly, the ultimate strappy/wallet-type bag that i want is this:

chanel 2.55 reissue wallet on chain. $1,495

but since the pricetag is more than my rent, it's definitely not on the affordable list. alternatively, i recently perused the current hayden-harnett secret online sale (happening until july 8th). i have been eyeing the staci crossbody bag at h-h for awhile...and was quick to notice that it was now on sale for 50% off.

hayden-harnett staci crossbody, platinum tejus lizard purse. (was $258) now $128

will be awaiting its arrival this week.
