I got myself a new to me Balenciaga Classic City in Anthracite, Chloe Paraty in Dove and a Prada Jacquard Top Handle recently. No LVs for this past few months..
This colour is to die for! I love it. CongratsMy first Celine bag
I am so digging the LV DE prints lately but had to pick up a WOC from Chanel in France! I still haven’t taken her out for a spin but have been using my Felicie to death. Europe changes you with the VAT return. Purchased way more than needed but so glad that I did now that I am back in the good ol’ USA.

I'm sure tons of people already have this bag, but it's my first non-LV bag I've purchased in the last 5 years! (Still love LV the best!) Got it at the end of June but hadn't had time to post it yet.
I've only got two bags that aren't LV - the rest of my bags and SLGs are LV!
The first one is a men's Gucci Signature Leather Backpack in Black that I got as a senior year of high school/back to school gift. It was either that or a Louis Vuitton Josh Monogram Backpack but I decided to go with the Gucci one as it was a little more understated (still a gorgeous brand pattern but all black) and it has a compartment inside that could fit my 13" MacBook while still holding other folders/notebooks, a LOT more sturdy than the Monogram canvas, and it had better straps/support than the LV equivalent. Needed to be comfortable and durable.
My only other non-LV bag is a Goyard St. Louis GM in Black Goyardine with Black leather trim/handles. I love this bag so much, especially because it is very slouchy and I do love a good slouchy bag every once and a while!
My only concerns that I have with this bag are that they are extremely thin and light compared to a LV Neverfull, and the dots in the pattern are supposedly hand-painted and can be scuffed or come off if the bag is set on the ground or not treated correctly. Along with those concerns, I have a friend who has the same exact St. Louis and he said that his handles are starting to show wrinkling and a cracking-like effect because he had a habit of using it to carry his laptop, a binder, etc. for work. Now, I just use my St. Louis for light loads such as holding a few of my SLGs when I run errands. An extremely comfortable bag and I'm glad I got it! A great alternative for when I'm not in the mood to use one of my Neverfulls. I will post pictures of my St. Louis and my Gucci Backpack if I get a chance.

Picked up these goodies
I love the accent on the Chanel Sunglasses.
I have the Gucci Blooms Slides and they are so comfortable I just had to have these cute Strawberry ones.
I finally acquired the round coin purse to use in the Mini Boite since nothing else fits properly.
Thanks for letting me share
