♡ celine tricolor nano ♡

I'm so excited to share my Celine tricolor nano with you! It's probably the most exciting addition to my bag collection. I have loved Celine luggage totes ever since they first came out, and I'm happy to finally own one! 

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. 

♡ new shoes of 2014: Charlotte Olympia, Valentino, Chloe, Frye, Lanvin, and Burberry ♡

Browsing Instagram has taught me one thing - people are willing to spend big bucks on high heels. The amount of red bottoms I can count (wistfully, I might add) dispersed throughout my feed is almost unseemly. For a long time, I wondered if people somehow managed to walk around in heels all day. But no - after further discussion, I have garnered that people find designer heels to be a worthier investment than designer flats, and would much rather purchase the former. Alas, through much painful trial and error, I have concluded that heels are not for me. Don't get me wrong - I love a manageable heel. My Rag & Bone Durham boots and Acne Pistols are perfectly comfortable. I just don't see the point of buying lots of pairs of heels when I know they won't get much wear (from me, that is). A good flat shoe, however, will serve me for many years! I purchased quite a few flats so far this year, so here they are.

♡ mcqueen madness ♡

I think it's safe to say I have a McQueen addiction... 

Pictured above: burgundy/oxblood Alexander McQueen skull flats

I love these McQueen skull ballerina flats in nude, red, olive green, light blue, pink, and, of course, classic black. If I had to pick another pair, the olive or nude ones would have to be my favorites! I think this style in olive with sequins has found its way on to my wish list....

Above: my collection of Alexander McQueen scarves - neon pink, blush nude pink, olive green (looks forest green sometimes because of the lighting, this scarf is interesting), and black and gray.

I love this blue one (on sale for $197!!), this nude one, this green one,  this red one, this blue and fuschia one, this brown/olive one, and this light gray/green one. I tend to order my scarves from Farfetch - for me, they are priced lower when ordering internationally, and they have a huge selection.
Harrod's has a huge variety, as well, and they are available at Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Net-A-Porter, Saks Fifth Avenue, Savannahs, and Zappos.

Gray and white canvas Alexander McQueen flats - found these for $65 (they were $430)!
Warning: huge amount of photos behind the cut!

♕ [yves] saint laurent arty ring ♕

I'm crazy for YSL Arty rings, so when I saw this cream and gold one on sale at Net-A-Porter for $150, I naturally had to have it. I find it's the most neutral and therefore the easiest to wear of my five arty rings. The rings, though largely discontinued, are still available here, here, and here. 

♡ 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.

♡ marc jacobs stam ♡

I purchased this bag in January. Of last year. Which gives you an idea of how desperately my blog is need of an update. I got the Marc Jacobs Stam in marine blue from Fashionphile. There are many available secondhand for great prices!
