Wish list Wednesday

Good afternoon lovelies, 

      Alright so since I visited the Louis Vuitton boutique and absolutely hated the speedy b and alma bb on me and nothing else really spoke to me while I was there, I decided to update my current accessories wish list.  

So for awhile I hadn't really planned on buying a lv wallet since it seems like a lot of money for a wallet.  When they released the lilas color and once I saw it in the store I knew I needed a a piece in this color added to my collection.  Although at the time it really wasn't feasible.  I recently got a new career that I have a very good feeling and am very excited about, I'm planning on saving up for the Sarah wallet and hopefully will get it in September or October.   I know it's on of those limited edition colors so fingers crossed I can pick it up in September.

    

I am also considering my Christmas present.  I am debating between two neverfulls and am really unsure which bag I want to get.  The pm size in epi figue or the mm in da.  The smaller size in epi since bold colors don't need to be on large bags.  Though I think the mm would be a good size for me.  

                                                                                     
 I'm hoping for two lv christmas presents and hopefully the pochette nm in de will be added to my collection.  Maybe even in epi.... I think that will depend on which neverfull I get.

I know I know this has been very Louis Vuitton heavy i tend to get a little obsessive over brands which is why I have my 3/4 bag per designer limit.  If I get both the neverfull and the pochette de that will put me at four bags and I will be done with Louis Vuitton.   I have a few other non louis vuitton items on my wish list.

Mansur Gavriel bucket bag is a definite must for me.  Preferable with the Royal blue interior.  I'm keeping my eyes open for this bag because I love the simplicity of it, and find it much nicer than the Louis Vuitton noe.  

Rebecca Minkoff is one designer I plan on grabbing a few bags from next year.  I especially adore the Mini Mac, and Perry.

 I am sure as the year progresses I will find more bags to add to my wish list, but currently I am fairly content.  I have been trying to get rid of some bags so that I can make room for bags I would use.  In the process of getting rid of quite a few coach bags and making room for more just means I can add more!  Till tomorrow lovelies! 

Must have Monday and Trend Tuesday in One DAY!!!

Hello my lovelies,

I have been so busy lately but don't worry I have not forgotten of you!  So first up is what's next on my Must have list.  I recently purchased a lv pochette nm, knowing I had the option to dress up the bag.  So how do you dress up a basic pochette you may ask, you buy some gold chains, and no not the lv ones....well you can if you want to....but I choose the cheaper route.  So while I posted a reveal on my instagram I have not used this bag yet, I plan on using it for my anniversary in a couple weeks.  

Once I use the bag I will post a review, but so far I am very happy about this purchase.  I originally wanted to get the eva clutch, but after the last price increase it got me thinking maybe something else would be better.  I watched many comparison videos on the eva vs pochette nm and stumbled onto a couple chain videos.  These videos are what ultimately sold me on the pochette.  I watched these two videos: thelifeofaangel and Tiffany Oakes and boy were they helpful.  If you haven't already watched them you should definitely watch.  I was also thankful an instagram friend commented on how much she loved her chains.  This makes me even more excited about ordering them in the future.

Alright onto the chains.  These chains are from ebay seller K-craft and the ones I was looking at were under $10 each.  


BG01

 The chain BG02, below is very similar to the eva clutch chain.  They all come in two lengths 125cm and 50cm.

 I believe this is BG05 but I also like the looks of BG04.

 

So with so many options I am definitely considering another pochette maybe in epi.  I really like the cyan and piment but I think my favorite is figue.  I also like the fuschia.  

The ebay seller also has silver chains for sale.


Alright now on to Trend Tuesday since well it's Tuesday!!!  So as I was perusing the trends I noticed one that just screamed epicness.   The fashion designers have spoken....enough with the ridiculous heels.....Bring on the Sneakers!!!  Now I don't know about all of my lovelies, but I know my feet are praising the gods right now. 

 Nike:  Loving the colors on these sky high sneakers.

 Converse.  These zebra print are amazing.

 Giuseppe Zanotti.  These are a great bold sneaker.

Jimmy Choo.  If you want some studs in your life you can't go wrong with these.

Alright lovelies let me know what you think and check back tomorrow for my updated wish list!

Bag charm thoughts

Good morning lovelies,

I have been seeing more and more bag charms lately and was curious on everyone's opinions on the charms.  

I loved them when I saw them so I made myself a couple and added a keychain here and there.  What I find most interesting is that I would add different coach key fobs to my coach bags back in 2008.  I hadn't done it in years until recently but it seems to have taken off.  

In a society that strives to be unique, it is often difficult to find new ways to stand out.  Are bag charms just another way to personalize your bag? Or are they just another thing people start doing to get noticed.  

Whether you are pro or anti bag charm I encourage you to at least look through the list here and see if you find any that appeal to you.

The poof

           If you follow any of the bag ladies out there you have probably spotted a poof bag charm.  I found this lavender one from etsy seller PETALLECREATIONS .  The poofs are in the $10/15 price range.

The fox tail

          You can buy a fox tail charm from ianfeng etsy store

Leather Charms

        I love this sugar skull bag charm.  Another etsy find at corrietovi etsy shop for under $20.

Metal Charms

           You can't forget about the ever popular metal charms but there are some great choices out there.  This travel charm from loves old stuff etsy shop  is amazing.

 Macaron charm

       I found this gorgeous charm on etsy.  There is a variety of colors and different options of charms.  The etsy seller is xunnux with prices ranging between $12 and $30.    

Tassle

        Really who doesn't love tassles!! I am absolutely loving this giant tassle found at the MJKMADE etsy store

Feather Charm

           Feathers are a great choice for the free spirited ladies out there.  I found these at frankandgertrude etsy shop.

 So lovelies, which bag charms are you rocking today?  With so many options which are your favorite?  I should say sorry for all the etsy shops but I love browsing etsy, and always find great things.  Well hope you have a wonderful day!!
 

Trend Tuesday: Lace Edition

Happy Tuesday my lovelies,

So sorry it has been awhile, life got a little crazy.  As you may or may not know every woman needs a little "black" dress.  Of course it isn't necessary for your LBD to be black.  I think one great alternative is an elegant lace dress, which is also trending.  While I have always stayed away from lace dresses, they always seem too girly for me, but I can't deny how elegant I always think other woman are when wearing one.  Lace dresses when done right look beautiful and the lace adds an extra dimension.  Lucky for all of us you can find many lace dresses at different price points.   

Here are some budget friendly options!!!

Disclaimer:  I was not paid by any of the companies mentioned.  I just love to stumbling onto great inexpensive options and want to share with anyone who is interested.  The photos are the property of the companies/websites.

For those  who only want a hint of lace this dress from Lulus is an excellent choice.  At $41 you really can't go wrong.  It's called Lace Against time unfortunately they only have xs and s left.  The dress is gorgeous and if they had it in a medium I would snatch it right up.  I love that it has black lace along the back.   

They have other gorgeous lace dresses as well. I came across this website awhile ago and I have not ordered from them but my bestie who I actually call LuLu has bought from them and loves the dresses.

Forever 21 also has a great selection of lace dresses.  This is a great summer choice that can be dressed up with a cardigan, belt and heels. For less than $25 it's a great basic choice for most women's wardrobes.

I found this classy lace dress from mod cloth for $180.  I think this would be a great dress to wear to a black tie event or wedding.  If you don't want to be stuck in all black pairing this gorgeous dress with some brightly colored pumps and clutch will really make the outfit pop.    A bit pricier but a classic piece that will last long after the lace trend of 2014. 

Alright my lovely ladies get out there and start hunting for the perfect lace dress for your wardrobe!  I know my sis in law is always rocking lace dresses and I am constantly thinking I need to find myself a lace dress. 

Will you be looking to add a lace dress to your wardrobe?  If so what color are you thinking?  I've seen some gorgeous pale pink dresses!  I've seen some great red carpet lace dress looks that make me want to search even more for a lace dress.  Let me know what you think of the Lace trend!!
