First off, I'm young so I don't have that much compared to some of you, but I'm fortunate for what I have and I work hard to get what I do have and I adore all of them.

Let's start off at the beginning of my collection, when I was younger and just a freshman at college and my first obsession was Coach!

I got this Coach, Black Soho Hobo, as my Christmas present in January 2004 at the Saks Fifth Avenue Sale! I carried this religiously for a year!

Then, I got sidetracked momentarily by my LV, Monogram Mini Looping, which I got as a combined Birthday/Christmas present in December 2004 at the LV Boutique. I helped my mom out by adding some of my "present" money, but she paid for the majority of it! My first LV <3!

I also got a Coach Chelsea Turnlock Hobo for my mom for her birthday/mother's day present, but it's a bit too small for her, so she tells me to keep it incase I want to use it. I rarely use this purse, but my mom uses it when she goes somewhere nice!

And I also got a Coach Mini Skinny as well that year! I've been using this one on/off for the last 5 years and it has aged gracefully. ^_^!

Fast forward to the Summer of 2005, when I finally got my next Coach, which I paid for with my first internship (but not my first job, I've been working since I was 16). This is and still is my absolutely favorite Coach bag, Nylon Pocket Satchel! I lusted after it in white with brown leather trim, but had to settle for the black one since it was the one on sale. I now like the black a whole lot more!

More to come...!

I got my very first Coach wristlet as a gift from an ex-bf back during Spring Break of 2007. It's very functional, as it's a Capacity Wristlet with white trim. The other wristlet picture was a gift from my girlfriends and I got it for my birthday in December 2007.

My entire Coach family! I haven't bought Coach since 2007, as I feel that I have enough Coach for now.

Then a little Hiatus for an entire year as I was busy with preparing for the next phase of my life... graduating college and going to medical school! But after that hiatus... I'm very much back and interested in purchasing more special things for myself!

The next purse I bought, after a two year hiatus, was another LV, the Accessories Pouchette! It was my first piece of Damier and like my previous LV, it was a birthday/christmas gift from my mom. We got it in January of 2008. My aunt also contributed since she gave me a gift card to NM that she received after buying a Chanel Flap.

After that, I bought my first LV by myself with the money I earned from a summer preceptorship with a family medicine doctor. It was a Monogram Neverfull PM. I wanted this bag for the past year, but finally bought it after 3 price increases. =_=;; I think my Neverfull has a pretty nice patina. <3s

For Christmas/Birthday of 2008, my DBF got me a Damier Zippy Coin Purse, which I absolutely adore and I use it constantly!

I got myself an Inclusion Bracelet as gift to myself for Christmas/Birthday as well.

I also got myself a matching Burberry makeup bag with my cousin when we went shopping over the holidays together ^_^!

My mom got me a Burberry Nova Check Bag for a belated Christmas/Birthday as I didn't know what I wanted during Christmas.

And last, but not least, I bought myself a Burberry Molly Wallet just because! It's a splurge <3.

Also, I'm currently borrowing my mom's Cole Haan Leather Satchel because it's summer and I need another light colored bag. It looks a lot prettier when you carry it.

Oh and I almost forgot, my Cole Haan Genevieve Cardholder, a little random present from the DBF :).

Now for my entire LV family pic:

And for my entire Burberry family pic:

Thanks for looking!!!
