vintage find: vintage louis vuitton monogram monceau

 I'm an avid vintage shopper, especially when it comes to bags. Many of my bags are vintage, including my beloved Chanel flap. I find that vintage bags often have a better quality to them - as well as an undeniable charm. I've also recently begun a foray into eBay with mild success. One of the fruits of my endless eBay searching labor (read: scrolling on my laptop) was this gorgeous vintage Louis Vuitton Monceau. 

louis vuitton curieuse wallet in aurore empreinte ☮

I've been itching for a new wallet for a while. The wallet I've been using is the Louis Vuitton Eugenie wallet in black epi leather that I thrifted for $55, and though I like it, I have learned that it's not my ideal wallet. Previously, I thought I needed lots of room for cards. But I don't actually even have a credit card. I have one debit card and a lot of frozen yogurt rewards cards. 

I figured I didn't need quite so much card space, but rather a convenient wallet for throwing in cash and just having a few easy-to-access cards. The wallet I was originally eying was the zippy, but I'm not keen on zippers (too much of a hassle) and I wanted something a little less simple. The Curieuse wallet was perfect for me. It has eight credit card slots and comes with a removable zippered pouch (which is so useful when carrying a smaller bag). The color I purchased it in is aurore, in the empreinte leather. 

♡ louis vuitton damier ebene neverfull mm ♡

Way back in April of 2013, I purchased my perhaps most useful bag to date - the Louis Vuitton Neverfull. Settling for the medium size, I opted for the durable damier ebene canvas. This bag is a workhorse. I carry it to school, to work, for traveling - it's perfect for everything, incredibly chic, and super convenient. I love this bag so much that I want to purchase it in damier azur, as well. Bonus feature: it fits cats comfortably.

Miu Miu card case vs. Louis Vuitton Cles

Over the past few months, I've purchased two coin/card holders. The first one I ordered was St. Cocco Patent Crocodile-Embossed Leather Card Case in the cammello (camel) color. I got it for a really great price, too, only $30. Alas, I kept losing it within my bag and wished I had something to chain it to. The leather began to peel after only a couple of months of use and I swiftly became disillusioned with the card case. I looked into the Louis Vuitton Cles and purchased it from LV in January, and I'm very satisfied with it. It clips on to my Neverfull (which I shall post soon) and is very useful. I keep my ID, Metrocard, and random little things in it.

It is once again time for a very lengthy post of recent clothing purchases that I got for awesome prices. Warning: this is pretty photo heavy. Enjoy!

Currently Coveting: My Fall Shopping List

My fall/winter shopping list has been in the works for quite some time. I mostly want to purchase accessories, bags, and shoes. Go behind the cut to see my wishlist! :)

Sporadic Snapshots: Food, New York, and Fashion

When I'm on the go, I snap a lot of photos with my iPhone. It's probably a major nuisance to everyone I am with, but I enjoy taking photos and I am not at all picky about what I photograph. (This is a nice way to say I take photos of absolutely everything and everyone probably hates me for it. ;P) Here are some shots from the past couple of weeks! :) If you like them, you may also enjoy my instagram, which I shall shamelessly plug yet again - my username is MissYanaCherie. If I decide to make these posts a common occurrence, I feel I ought to name them. For now, they have been deemed "Sporadic Snapshots." Thank you for reading! :)

What's in my bag?

I had a few people on Tumblr request that I do a post on here featuring the stuff in my bag, so here goes...lol

“You look fabulous. And you smell great too.” -Zac Posen

I had a wonderful day with my mom in Manhattan yesterday. We went to several stores, but we spent most of our time at Saks. Louis Vuitton finally had the agenda refills I needed, and I'm very pleased with them! I also got the most amazing Zac Posen blouse, a lovely Kate Spade cardigan, and two pairs of Prada shoes.

I just made a new blogspot post, but I decided to make another one lol. Yesterday I picked up Chanel's Rose Exuberant nail polish. I still have a lengthy wishlist of Chanel nail polish. The next one  want to purchase is Pirate. They already have May, April, and June in stores and I have to say, I am absolutely in love with every shade. I'm going to make a Chanel nail polish wishlist behind the cut. :)

Currently Coveting: Prada and Bags

Hi everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I'm about to head off to class, and then the gym, so I figured I'd make a quick "Currently Coveting" post. :)

ANNOUNCEMENT: I changed my blogspot URL. It is now http://bergdorfprincess.blogspot.com, like my tumblr (http://bergdorfprincess.tumblr.com). This post is going to be devoted to all of my latest Juicy Couture purchases. I know a lot of people find Juicy to be tacky/young, but I really adore their clothing items and some of their accessories. Their velour sweatsuits may not be fashion forward, but they are extremely comfortable for lounging around. That being said, I wouldn't be caught dead with a velour logo handbag. I do love everything I purchased from them, though!

This Saturday I went to the city and got my dad a robe from Bloomingdales...AND I GOT MY LOUIS VUITTON AGENDA!! I got the medium monogram; it's so beautiful. I've already written a bunch in it. The SA that helped me was wonderful; she gave me the holiday gift wrap too. I got the last agenda; now I'm contemplating having it heat-stamped with my initials.
On my first day of school on Friday I'm going to wear my Dolce & Gabbana jacket...I haven't worn it in very long. I'll also probably take my MbMJ tote. I wish I could go shopping before my first day so I could wear something new.

Here's my beautiful new agenda:
