Top 10 List - twenty one pilots songs

Posted on July 22, 2016 at 6:54 PM EST
When I started this blog I intended on doing posts that weren't luxury related. After over a year I can finally say.. this post has nothing to do with luxury. The subject of this post is my absolute favorite thing in the entire world.

MUSIC!

More specifically a top 10 list. Each top ten list will revolve around a different subject and I thought what better way that to start with the hardest top 10 list there is. Top 10 songs by an artist. My first artist: twenty one pilots.

Each list will contain the name of the song and the album it is on next to it.
Example: Pour Some Sugar On Me - Album: Hysteria, 1987

Louis Vuitton Reveal & Sales Associate S/O!

Posted on July 22, 2016 at 12:59 PM EST
There has never been a time that I have not had the best experience going into Louis Vuitton. This time was no exception. I've stated before that having a relationship with your sales associate is very important and mine never ceases to amaze me. I first met my SA back in April of 2014. At that point every time I had gone into LV I had a different SA but I never formed a relationship with any of them like I did with Veronica. She has been nothing but amazing to me since that day and I would recommend her to anyone who asked. There's been several LV trips where we miss each other but she's put items on hold for me to look at when she's not there and when she is there I can easily spend an hour in there just talking with her. She's more than just a sales associate. I consider her a friend.

This past Saturday I stopped into Louis Vuitton after making my first purchase from Chanel. (I did a reveal on my new card holder in my previous post if anyone is interested in reading it.) I had contacted Veronica ahead of time so I knew she would be there and I waited patiently for her while she was going other things. We must have talked closed to ten minutes before I even brought up that I was there to buy something. She asked how I've been, what I've been up to, and how our kitchen remodel went. Her reaction to the pictures I showed her were priceless and I wish I had asked to see pictures from her kitchen remodel.

The whole reason I got this item when I did was because I would need it before visiting my dad later this year. My husband and I don't have a traditional Christmas. Yes we put up a tree and there are presents underneath but those are for our family not for each other. We buy whenever and just hand it over. Some think we're crazy for doing that and I am sure that we are but we're okay with that. We have Christmas with his family and a Christmas with my dad so getting ours out of the way is so big thing for us.

I had the Toiletry bag 25 on my wish list for nearly three years. After getting my very first piece from the LV (Speedy 30 Mono) I had put this item on my wish list but with as little as we travel I was afraid I'd never use it. The item kept getting pushed back and then one day I said screw it. You're going to regret it if you don't get it so that's exactly what I did. The only issue I had was the same issue I have with everything. Monogram or Damier Ebene. The Monogram had been the canvas that made me fall in love with the item in the first place but as everyone knows I am not a big fan of patina. I don't mind it for a while but once it's dark I just don't like it. I prefer the raw vachetta leather when you first get an item or a very light patina and since this item would be either in my suitcase or the bathroom I was terrified of the leather getting wet. I looked at both while I was there and while I still love it in Monogram I got it in DE for a few reasons.

1. If the leather gets wet I don't have to worry about it.
2. I wouldn't be the only one using it. My hubby and I would be sharing it so I wanted something he'd be okay with.
3. DE is my absolute favorite canvas at Louis Vuitton.

The first thing I did when I got it home was toss in every single thing we would take on vacation with us and I still had room for more. My husband kept telling me 'my brush is too big it won't fit inside of it.' I told him it will fit. I was right. It fit with no issue what so ever. He did like the fact that we could just take it into the bathroom and not have to make ten trips to the suitcase when we needed something. It's definitely going to come in handy and now that I have it I need to try to convince him into taking more trips so I can use it more often.

Reveal - Chanel Card Holder

Posted on July 20, 2016 at 5:53 PM EST
I did not realize until this very moment that it has been over a year since I lasted posted anything. I cannot tell you how sorry I am about that but never fear I am back with a brand new reveal..

On Saturday I lived out another dream of mine. One that has been a couple of years in the making but I never took the plunge until now. I finally set foot in a Chanel boutique. I am not sure why but I've always been a little intimidated by Chanel. I'm not as educated about the brand as I am with Louis Vuitton but I'm slowly learning.

So I started putting back money back in March after my last trip to Louis Vuitton. My birthday was back in May and I wanted to buy myself a birthday present. I could have easily went to LV but I wanted to dip my toes into something else. That something else being Chanel. In my mind I knew what I wanted. In fact I had three items picked out that I would have been more than happy with. The Card Holder, The Snap Card Holder, and the Zip Coin Purse. I had my heart set on Caviar Chevron and had about seven different color options between all three. I knew how much each item cost. I figured out how much I'd need with tax and I started putting money back.

Going in I knew that it was possible that I could completely strike out. My Chanel boutique is quite small. Much smaller than my Louis Vuitton so I knew and was prepared that I could walk out empty handed. I showed my SA pictures that I had saved to my phone of items that I was interested in. I had no idea that the Chevron items I wanted were from a few seasons ago and that they didn't have them. I was disappointed because I have seen very recent photos on Instagram and TPF of people having just purchased these items. Melinda did show me what they did have in stock and while I liked the zip coin purses they had they just weren't what I wanted. As for the snap closure card holder they didn't have that at all. For card holders they had two styles. A classic lambskin in Navy with silver hardware and my reason for walking in. A classic caviar leather in Black with gold hardware. Caviar leather was the whole reason I fell in love with Chanel in the first place. The Chevron was just something I thought was beautiful but for my very first piece I had no problem with just Caviar.

Melinda was very patient with me as I was making my decisions. She knew this was my first piece and my first time there and treated me like a customer that had been going there for years. By the picture above you can tell which item I went with. I could have held out for something else but there was no guarantee that they'd ever get it. Had I been put on a wait list I know I still would have missed out because I don't live very close and I only get there a few times a year. I honestly couldn't be happier with my first Chanel purchase. It's a great starter item for anyone getting into the brand and can hold so much. I have a Louis Vuitton card holder in Epi leather Fuchsia which doesn't hold as much and is a bit smaller. Which do I prefer? Right now I'd say my Chanel but I did just get it. I'd probably always pick the one I just bought. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. It's small, the leather is so soft, it can hold quite a bit and it's just plain beautiful. Yes you'll pay more for the Chanel than the LV but you'll be happy regardless. I know I am.

My only disappointment was because my Chanel is so tiny we don't get the packaging. No shopping bag, flower, or tissue paper. I did manage to get my hands on a ribbon thanks to my LV SA Veronica who went over to see what packaging they had. Not only that but she went to the make up boutique and got me one of their bags with a bunch of samples which was so sweet. I will eventually get all of the packing when/if I am ever lucky enough to go to one of the bigger boutiques but for now it's time to start saving up for more items!
