Real Talk: I bought the Bag I believed I Wanted, however now one more Bag is available in a version I like more

By now, you guys are most likely so ill of hearing about my bag woes, however don’t discount rate me just yet, since I bet there are so many of you who have been in the exact same boat as I am right now. You believe as well as believe as well as believe some more about your next huge bag buy, over-analyze every minute detail, from the brand as well as the cost down to the color as well as the size. Then, when you lastly comprise your mind as well as pull the trigger, something else comes along that you like more, however suddenly it’s as well late. It took me over a year to choose that I lastly wished to dedicate to the Gucci Marmont Bag. I bought it, promptly went house as well as threw my stuff inside, as well as didn’t look back. My good friends all wished to understand if I was happy with my choice, as well as I truly was! It wasn’t rather a love-at-first-sight situation, however instead I believed about my purchase from a practical standpoint as well. as well as when I started utilizing my bag, I fell in like with it more as well as more.

One bag that I did have an instant attraction to was the Gucci Ophidia Bag. In fact, at one point I was 99.9% sure that I was going to make it mine, however there was one major thing that was holding me back—it wasn’t black. While I already have a quite impressive collection of bags, both those that I bought myself, a few I obtained while interning, as well as a lot I was lucky sufficient to be gifted, one thing that my collection was seriously lacking was a traditional black bag, so eventually I decided on the Marmont in black. While it’s definitely on trend, I felt that a flap bag in black was traditional sufficient to utilize for seasons to come. The Ophidia felt ageless to me in its own way, since it provides off such a vintage vibe, however I couldn’t get over the truth that it just wasn’t black. had I already had a excellent black bag in my rotation, I definitely would have snagged the Ophidia over the Marmont.

Yesterday I was going about my typical Monday morning routine, which extremely commonly means inspecting the new arrivals on my preferred buying sites. browsing the internet’s most present offerings isn’t just a fun, time-sucking habit, however its part of my job. very first my heart went pitter patter as well as then it straight-up stopped when I saw the Gucci Ophidia Bag in Black. While the bag isn’t leather—it’s suede—I’m consumed with it. I requirement it. The only issue is, I can’t buy it! For a second I wished to cry, as well as then I even believed about trying to offer my Marmont, however lastly I talked myself down off the ledge. The timing right here just wasn’t right, so I assumption perhaps the Ophidia just wasn’t meant to be, however I still have this gnawing feeling in my tummy that I’m going to regret not having it. If the timing is right for you, as well as you’re in the market for a new bag then you can snag this new black version of The Ophidia GG little shoulder Bag for $1,750 via Gucci.

Has this ever occurred to you? have you ever lastly pulled the trigger, as well as then a bag you liked more seemed to materialize out of nowhere?

PurseBlog Beauty: 6 products in Megs’ appeal Bag for spring

I have a confession: I’m not a big appeal junkie. I always say that if I had a makeup artist come to my home daily, it would be the utmost luxury. (Throw in a hair person as well–I really need a hair person.) This indicates my appeal routine is rather simplistic. I haven’t tried, let alone mastered, the art of contouring, I can improvise a smokey eye but it’s not even close to perfected, and at least half the week, I leave the house sans makeup.

However, I love a good skincare routine, and while I am not a appeal guru in the least bit, I always have a few items that are my go-tos. For spring, these are the six items that I not only plan to use, but already own and am using.

La Prairie Anti-Aging Eye and Lip perfection à Porter
$160 by means of Neiman Marcus
La Prairie makes up the majority of my skin care routine, from their anti-aging creams to eye serums, I adore their products. The Eye and Lip porter is a personal favorite, it slides into my makeup pouch and when my lips start to dry or eyes look a little fatigued, I use this.

Chanel Le Vernis Pink Tonic nail Color
$27 by means of Chanel
Some people say Chanel polish chips easily, but it actually lasts long on me and I adore the colors. I have way too lots of nail polishes to be considered sane, but I just added this color to my collection and love the color of pink.

Dior Addict Gloss
$29.50 by means of Saks
Dior Addict Gloss is simply amazing! The gloss continues to moisturize which is unlike lots of glosses and the color slides on easily and lasts long.

Oribe Travel-Sized Imperméable Anti-Humidity Spray
$22 by means of Net-A-Porter
Typically, I use Oribe texture spray because about two minutes after finishing my hair it looses all of its volume. but my hair is also really hard to manage in the humidity, so this is my go to.

M·A·C Eyeshadow
$16 by means of Nordstrom
A little swipe of gold eyeshadow really makes my blue eyes pop. I don’t like too much on my eyes, so a couple brushes of eyeshadow and I’m set. MAC still is one of the best when it pertains to beauty.

Lollia Hand Cream
$24 by means of Anthropologie
While I don’t have horribly dry hands, I always have a hand cream with me as I love keeping my hands smooth (plus I share with any individual who says they have dry hands when I’m with them). I was gifted this hand cream and thought it looked pretty but might not work amazingly well, but I was wrong. This cream leaves my hands smooth and the scent is delightful.

Kourtney Kardashian mixes stripes with Celine

Here’s Kourtney Kardashian in Beverly Hills, rocking a striped (hot)pants fit while filming a scene for the upcoming eighth season of keeping Up With The Kardashians. Her bag is a Celine Trio Bag, which is made up of three separate pouches that snap together, however can likewise be utilized separately, sans strap. Neat, huh? costs vary a bit based on size, however you can expect to plunk down about a grand for this small Celine creation.

Despite some hubbub about whether Kim Kardashian would even be back for season 8 of KUWTK, the gang is apparently all present as well as accounted for – though both Kim, Kanye, as well as producer Ryan Seacrest have been extremely adamant that while Kim’s pregnancy will be a major plotline, the birth of bit Kimye will NOT be televised. I can envision all that absolutely scrubs Kourtney the wrong way, as she delivered both of her two infants on the show (much to our chagrin).

Mini Review: Prada Nylon backpack

Day 3 and bag 3 is one of the bags I’ve used most during this past year! Introducing one of my bag workhorses: my Prada Nylon Backback. This bag became my diaper bag after I had Vaughn and though it isn’t intended solely for that use, it worked magnificently.

This bag was a gift to Vlad a couple years ago from the team at Prada. I realized Vlad and our little guy would share the same initials when we settled on the name Vaughn. This backpack was destined to be turned into ‘the one’ when it came time to pick a diaper bag. already having gone through the baby stage with Millie, I knew I didn’t need a diaper bag in the traditional sense of the word. I could make a backpack work for me and having my hands free is an added benefit.

I am a massive Prada Nylon fan. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, practical, usable, and most importantly, durable. I use the main compartment for all things baby: diapers, wipes, changes of clothes, toys, etc. The exterior front small zip compartment was “mine” for my card case, phone, and car keys. There are two long side pockets which can fit a bottle, and there’s one more small zip area on the front flap.

Prada was my first premiere designer love and will always be one of my favorite brands. I can’t speak highly enough about Prada Nylon, especially at a time like this when ease of cleaning is especially important. Also, if you want a bag personalized like this, Prada still offers the option on the men’s side with letters to personalize backpacks, luggage, etc. shop this bag at Prada.com (but reach out to a store when they open back up to ask about personalization if interested).

Who’s That Girl?

Is this Jimmy Choo leather tote one of the next “It” bags? LiLo seemed to think so when she was seen sporting the bag down in the fun and sun of SoFlo and now we have another bombshell that seems to think so too. Do you know which lovebird is carrying this bag on her way out of Hawaii?

Why it is none other than one of my personal favs, Jessica Alba. If any of you forgot or would like to know, the bag is still available through pre-order via Bergdorf Goodman for $1850. That’s right- you are not one of the chosen few to have the bag at the same time the celebs do. Figures.

And I promise this will be one of my last times mentioning this particular bag, I just can’t seem to get enough of it and it looks to me like it is making it big time ?

Alexander Wang Coco Duffel in denim leather

The elusive Alexander Wang Coco Duffel is making a comeback, only this time around it is a ShopBop special color. The black Alexander Wang Coco Duffel with gold studs is still extremely prominent as well as now ShopBop teamed up with Alexander Wang to bring you a denim leather version.

Super soft leather with the look of denim, this Alexander Wang bag provides off a distressed leather look. The studs are silver rather than the black with gold studs. There are two hidden zip pockets as well as a box pleat at the side. This bag is less edgy than the black on gold, appearing a bit ‘lighter as well as airy’ rather than dense as well as edgy. buy solely with ShopBop for $850.

This Louboutin grasp looks a bit as well much like a Pomeranian

Christian Louboutin Anastasia Clutch, $2345 through Neiman Marcus

If you’re a routine PurseBlog reader, you know how I feel about fur bags, even though I’ve softened enough this season to allow fur accents without as well much griping. and then I see something like the Christian Louboutin Anastasia grasp and I keep in mind why fur bags are a bad idea around again.

Only one word concerned mind when I saw this bag: Pomeranian. because the bag is constructed out of fox fur, it already has the look and color of a canine to it, and the coppery shade and length almost exactly match the small dogs cherished by people who want to carry their animals in their handbags. Unfortunately, this grasp appears like you’re trying to carry your pet as your handbag. I’m just waiting on it to poke its bit head out from under the fur and begin begging for a Snausage.

My gripe with fur, other than the well-know honest problems surrounding its use, has always been that it’s generally as well long and rich to work in the structured, practical world of handbags. and this grasp proves just that – despite certainly having a frame under there somewhere, the bag appears like nothing more than a giant furball that you’ll have to carry around by hand all night. and actually, that’s exactly what it is, not to mention that it most likely appears like your pet’s long-lost cousin. buy with Neiman Marcus for $2345.
