Soo I have been very bad this year, and have caught the LV bug bad! So far this year, I bought the Manhattan PM (first baby!), then came Epi Lilac Petit Noe, then Azur Speedy 25. When I went to Europe this Sept, I just couldn't resist a Epi Ivorie Speedy 25, an white MC key holder, and also a Damier Iluvo for my mom. And along the way, a few bandeaus and a couple other non-LV designer bags. And I told myself I was done for the year.
BUT I couldn't get the Bordeaux Mirage Speedy out of my head! I had longed for it since Label Addict's thread even with the fuzzy picture! I didn't have a mono speedy nor a speedy 30, and while it just seemed to be the most classic bag, it seemed a little boring to me (SORRY!). But when I read about the patent handles and the fading effect, and that it was available in Bordeaux (FAV colors are purple and burgundy), I knew I would have a problem. I had actually thought about waitlisting in Paris (the day I left to go back home was 9/15), but didn't know how to do it from NY. I finally settled myself that it was too expensive, and would eventually buy it from a reseller when I could better manage it. So I bought the "cheaper" but still very much loved Epi Ivorie Speedy in Paris along with an Iluvo for my mom. But all your pictures here had me SOO LONGING for it....
Finally, my wonderful bf decided to put me out of my misery and get it for our 5 yr anniversary!!! I felt SOO guilty about such an expensive gift (we've only been out of college a couple of years), but who can say no?
So without further ado, here she is (along with my Paris goods that I was too lazy to take pics of):
